31、 University in New Zealand believes that too much interest is placed on individual causes of illness and disease. He argues health research and health policy should focus on social causes of disease. He proposes a classification of disease based on the following four dimensions of western society: e

32、conomic, social, cultural and political. In Professor Parkers model the economic dimension is based on the institutions of the labor market, capital and profit. The social dimension is based on the institutions of family, kinship and community. Beliefs, practices and lifestyle are the institutions o

33、f the cultural dimension and power structures are the institutions of the political dimension. First, Professor Davis examines the economic dimension. Because profit is placed before safety in the competitive world of the market, occupations are the cause of accidents, deafness and even early deaths

34、. When Professor Davis examines his second dimension, the social, he claims that family life in Western society is one of the major causes of hypertension and mental illness. The cultural dimension affects the way we eat and drink: the Western diet is the cause of obesity and our commitment to smoki

35、ng and drinking contributes to our high levels of lung cancer and bowel cancer. The power structures in the political dimension mean that there is a great deal of social inequality. This leads to unequal access to health services. The result of this inequality is higher illness and mortality rates f

A man goes shopping because he needs something. His purpose

38、 is settled and decided in advance. He knows what he wants, and his objective is to find it and buy it; the price is a secondary consideration. All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it in stock, the salesman promptly produces it, and the business o

39、f trying it on proceeds at once. All being well, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyones satisfaction. For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants, or does not have exactly what he wants. In that case

40、the salesman, as the name implies, tries to sell the customer something else, he offers the nearest he can to the article required. No good salesman brings out such a substitute without least consideration; he does so with skill and polish: “I know this jacket is not the style you want, sir, but wou

41、ld you like to try it for size. It happens to be the color you mentioned. Few men have patience with this treatment, and the usual response is: “This is the right color and may be the right size but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on. Now how does a women go about buying clothes?

42、In almost every respect she does so in the opposite way. Her shopping is not often based on need. She has never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she is only “having a look round. She is always open to persuasion: indeed she sets great store by what the saleswoman tells her, even by what co

43、mpanion tell her. She will try on any number of things. Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her. Contrary to a lot of jokes, most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes. They are always on the lookout for the unexpected bargain.

44、Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another, to and fro often retracing her steps, before selecting the dresses she wants to try on. It is a tiresome process, but apparently an enjoyable one. Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands. Questions 36-40. Answer the questions according to the facts mentioned in the text. 36. What does a man usually do when he is buying clothes? 37. What does the passage tell us about
