As we have seen, the focus on medical care in our society has been shifting from curing disease to preventing disease — especially in terms of changing our many unhealthy behaviors, such as poor eating habits, smoking, and failure to exercise. The line of thought involved in this shift can be pursued further. Imagine a person who is about the right weight, but does not eat very nutritious foods, who feels OK but exercises only occasionally, who goes to work every day, but is not an outstanding worker, who drinks a few beers at home most nights but does not drive while drunk, and who has no chest pains or abnormal blood counts, but sleeps a lot and often feels tired. This person is not ill. He may not even be at risk for any particular disease. But we can imagine that this person could be a lot healthier.
The field of medicine has not traditionally distinguished between someone who is merely "not ill" and someone who is in excellent health and pays attention to the body’s special needs. Both types have simply been called "well". In recent years, however, some health specialists have begun to apply the term "well" and "wellness" only to those who are actively striving to maintain and improve their health. People who are well are concerned with nutrition and exercise, and they make a point of monitoring their body’s condition. Most important, perhaps, people who are well take active responsibility for all matters related to their health. Even people who have a physical disease or handicap may be "well" in this new sense, if they make an effort to maintain the best possible health they can in the face of their physical limitations. "Wellness" may perhaps best be viewed, not as a state that people can achieve, but as an ideal that people can strive for. People who are well are likely to be better able to resist disease and to fight disease when it strikes. And by focusing attention on healthy ways of living, the concept of wellness can have a beneficial impact on the ways in which people face the challenges of daily life.
According to what the author advocates, which of the following groups of people would be considered healthy?
选项
A、People who have strong muscles as well as slim figures.
B、People who are not presently experiencing any symptoms of disease.
C、People who try to be as healthy as possible, regardless of their limitations.
D、People who can recover from illness even without seeking medical care.
答案
C
解析
根据第二段第七句“In this new sense,if they make an effort to maintain the best possible health they can in the face of their physical limitations”,根据这种新定义,健康的人就应该指不管身体有何局限、只要努力追求最健康状态的人。原文中提到根据新定义,即使是那些患病或是有生理缺陷的人,也可以被认为是“健康”的人,下文也总结了这一点。因此选择C。
