While there’s never a good age to get cancer, people in their 20s and 30s can feel particularly isolated. The average age of a cancer patient at diagnosis is 67. Children with cancer often are treated at pediatric cancer centers, but young adults have a tough time finding peer, often sitting side-by-side during treatments with people who could be their grandparents.
In her new book Crazy Sexy Cancer Tips, writer Kris Carr looks at cancer from the perspective of a young adult who confronts death just as she’s discovering life. Ms. Carr was 31 when she was diagnosed with a rate form of cancer that had generated tumors on her liver and lungs.
Ms. Carr reacted with the normal feelings of shock and sadness. She called her parents and stocked up on organic food, determined to become a "full-time healing addict". Then she picked up the phone and called everyone in her address book, asking if they knew other young women with cancer. The result was her personal "cancer posse": a rock concert tour manager, a model, a fashion magazine editor, a cartoonist and a MTV celebrity, to name a few. This club of "cancer babes" offered support, advice, and fashion tips, among other things.
Ms. Carr put her cancer experience in a recent Learning Channel documentary, and she has written a practical guide about how she coped. Cancer isn’t funny, but Ms. Carr often is. She swears, she makes up names for the people who treat her(Dr. Fabulous and Dr. Guru), and she calls them.
She leaves the medical advice to doctors, instead offering insightful and practical tips that reflect the world view of a young adult. "I refused to let cancer ruin my party," she writes. "There are just too many cooling things to do and plan and live for." Ms. Carr still has cancer, but it has stopped progressing. Her cancer tips include using time-saving mass e-mails to keep friends informed, sewing or buying fashionable hospital gowns so you’re not stuck with regulation blue or gray and playing Gloria Gaynor’s "I Will Survive" so loud your neighbors call the police. Ms Can-also advises an eyebrow wax and a new outfit before you tell the important people in your life about your illness. "People you tell are going to cautiously and not so cautiously try to see the cancer, so dazzle them instead with your miracle, " she writes.
While her advice may sound superficial, it gets to her heart of what every cancer patient wants the chance to live life just as she always did, and maybe better.
All of the following statements are sure EXCEPT______
选项
A、Kris Carr is female writer.
B、Kris Carr is more than 31-year-old.
C、Kris Carr works in a cancer center.
D、Kris Carr is very optimistic.
答案
C
解析
本题中没有明确的信息点。我们可以根据此类题目在五个题目中的位置判断该题在文中的命题位置。本题是本篇文章的第:二题,我们在第一段解答了第一题,那么我们就大胆预判本题答案应该在第二段(以及第三段);另外,我们通过对选项的浏览发现四个选项都涉及到Kris Carr,这时我们便可以把本题转换成细节信息题:Which of the following is true about Kris Carr?文章第二段开始便告诉我们她是Crazy Sexy Cancer Tips的作者,由此可以初步确定选项A.Kris Carr is female writer本身符合文章内容;第二段后面告诉我们她得癌的时候才刚刚31岁,由此确定选项B.Kris Carr is more than 31-year-old也符合文章内容;文章第三段直至最后描述了她抗癌中表现出的乐观和对生活的渴望,囚此D也符合文章内容。排除了A、B、D,并且文中没有她在抗癌中心工作的信息,由此而确定C项为正确答案。
