第一篇：研究生英语阅读大观部分文章稿19.What is Religion
19.What is Religion? No simple definition can describe the numerous religions in the world.For many people, religion is an organized system of beliefs, ceremonies, practices, and worship that center on supreme God, or the Deity.For many others, religion involves a number of gods, or deities.Some people have a religion in which no specific God or gods are worshiped.There are also people who practice their own religious beliefs in their own personal way, largely independent of organized religion.But almost all people who follow some of religion believe that a divine([di'vain])power created the world and influences their lives.People practice religion for several reasons.Many people throughout the world follow a religion simple because it is part of the heritage of their culture, tribe, or family.Religion gives many people a feeling of security because they believe that a divine power watches over them.These people often ask the power for help or protection.Numerous people follow a religion because it promises them salvation and either happiness or the sense of individual fulfillment and gives meaning to life.In addition, religion provides answers to such questions as “what is the purpose of life? What is the final destiny of a person? What is the difference between the right and wrong? And what are one’s obligations to other people?” Finally, many people follow a religion to enjoy a sense of kinship with their fellow believers.There are thousands of religions in the world.The eight major ones are Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, Shinto, and Taoism.Of these eight religions, Hinduism, Shinto, and Taoism developed over many countries.Each of the other religions traditionally bases its faith on the life or teachings of specific individuals.They are Prince Siddhartha Gautama, who became known as Gautama Buddha, for Buddhism;Jesus Christ for Christianity;Confucius for Confucianism;Muhammad for Islam;and Abraham and Moses for Judaism.The religions that trace their history to individuals follow a general pattern of development.During the individual’s lifetime or soon after his death, a distinctive system of worship ceremonies grew up around his life and teaching.This system, called a cult, became the basis of the religion.The heart of the cult is the individual’s teaching.In addition to inspiring worship, the individual represents an ideal way of life that followers try to imitate.The teachings of religions have shaped the lives of people since prehistoric times.Judaism, Islam, and especially Christianity([,kristi'æniti])have been major influences in the formation of Western culture.These three faiths, particularly Islam, have also played a crucial role in the development of Middle Eastern culture.The cultures of Asia have been shaped by Buddhism, Confucianism, Hinduism, Shinto, and Taoism.Religion has been a supreme source of inspiration in the arts.Some of the most beautiful buildings in the world are houses of worship.Much of the world’s greatest music is religious.Religious stories have provided countless subjects for painting, sculptures, literature, dances, and motion pictures.
第二篇：研究生英语阅读大观部分文章稿——21.Religious Beliefs on Nature
21.Religious Beliefs on Nature Taoism and Sustainable DevelopmentThe modern thought of sustainable development has, actually, stemmed from people’s growing understanding of and their deep concern about environmental problems.In fact, a variety of views and ideas on sustainable development have also been embodied in the principles, doctrines and practices of Taoism.The Taoist idea of “cherishing human beings and treasuring life” does not, however, entail(把……给以)upon men the privilege to put themselves above nature.Instead, it requires mankind to live in harmony with nature, under the principle that man is an integral(组成的)part of nature.To grasp such a dialectical relationship is of crucial importance in today’s drive to achieve a sustainable development.Buddhism and Ecological EnvironmentBuddhist theory of “pratityasamutpāda” emphasize the importance of relations in different things and points out that there are no things which are isolated.The theory of “Connection Among Three Worlds” and other theories are the way for Buddhism to link up subject and object.The real intention of Dharma is to establish an equal circle of life between human beings living things and nonliving things.According to the Buddhist belief, the transformation of the external environment and the realization of an ideal environment are set up on the reform of the subjective world of man.The environmental crisis today is namely the result of human deviation from the Buddhist principle.The Buddhist Ecological Views and Practice The Buddhist ecological views are mainly embodied in its attitudes toward nature, life and ideal.The Buddhist ecological practices not only provide the Buddhists with the way of self-improvement and guide them toward their adaptation to the community and their service to the masses, but also demonstrate that the way to achieve global ecological protection depends on enhancing the people’s understanding and participation.Islamic Ecological Outlook and Its Modern SignificanceThe Islamic culture’s outlook of a harmonious ecology and ties brilliant success achieved through integration(结合)with other cultures and in the spirit of modern science will be revitalized(复活)to demonstrate important spiritual value in overcoming ecological crisis and facilitating sustainable development.And it will also contribute in encouraging people to create an ecologically harmonious world, featuring luxuriant(丰富的)forests crystal-clear lakes, paradise of chirping birds and gardens of fragrant(香的)flowers in the new century.The Contribution of Taoists to the Protection of Ecological EnvironmentThe age-old Chinese Taoism has been contributing to the development of human civilization, over the past two millenniums, through the development of its rich ideals, culture and religious legacy(遗产).Taoists of all ages have taken Nature as the fundamental theme of their faith and religious practice, and so have made active contribution to protecting the natural ecological environment.Carry Forward the Ideal of Taoism, Protect Ecological Environment and Benefit MankindAs an ecological crisis worsens around the world, more and more people have realized that the environment problem is not merely a result of over zealous(狂热的)industrial and technological development, but is an issue closely related to people’s world outlook, values and knowledge system.We hold that only when the Taoist belief of “letting things take their own nature course” takes root at the heart of all people and is earnestly practiced, can the world’s ecological crisis be thoroughly resolved and mankind’s eternal welfare be preserved.Love Nature, Respect LifeTaoism, an old-aged Chinese religion, views the mankind and nature as a harmonious unit, and that all matters on earth bear the character of truth and possesses the right and value to exist.It regards protection of the natural environment an essential part of its religious practice, and holds that the natural ecological valance must be preserved.It advocates(主张)that men should take the limit of endurance of the natural ecological environment into full consideration during economic development, and enhance people’s consciousness of the harmonious co-existence with nature.It also respects life, opposes war and killing and advocates peaceful co-existence of all races, ethnic nationalities and religions.
第三篇：研究生英语阅读大观部分文章稿03.Your Speech is Changing-24
3.Your Speech is Changing If a contemporary Rip Van Winkle had slept for forty years and awakened today, he would have to go back to school before he could understand a daily newspaper or a magazine.He would never have heard of atomic bombs, baby sitters, flying saucers or contact lenses-nor of mambo, microfilms, nylons, or smog.Many new words have been added to the English language in the past forty years;and since Shakespeare’s time the number of words in the language has increased more than five times, from about 14,000 to somewhere between 700,000 and 800,000.Most of these new words have not come from borrowing, but from the nature growth of the language.The language has always changed, but the rate of the change has been uneven;minor changes have slowly accumulated in every generation, but there have been periods of rapid changes as well.The most important of these periods occurred during the two hundred and fifty years after 1066, the year the Normans conquered England.Before the conquest, the inhabitants in England spoke Anglo-Saxon, a complex Germanic language.The Normans were Norsemen who, after generation of raiding, had settled in northern France in the tenth century and by 1066 were speaking a form of French.After their conquest of England they instituted Norman French as the dominant language—the language of the upper class, of law, of government, and of such commerce as there was.Nevertheless, the masses went right on speaking Anglo-Saxon.By about three hundred years after the Norman conquest, Anglo-Saxon had re-established itself as the language of the upper class, as English, and had become a flexible, exact splendid, and moving instrument of expression.Norman French, meanwhile, had become something comic, spoken by the villain in the old mystery plays just for a laugh.The seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, during which printing became established, saw the stabilization of spelling and, more important, the establishment of colonies in America.Immediately, the language of the New Word and that of the Old World began to draw apart.In writing, too, a change has taken place.The use of the colloquial in American writing is increasing rather than diminishing.The increasing use of the colloquial in our writing is an interesting change that is bound to have far-reaching consequences.The enormous of enlargement of our vocabulary, the increasing use in our writing of the spoken idiom, and changes in our pronunciation are not the only changes that are taking place, however.There have also been significant grammatical alterations in our language.Such changes take place only by generations or decades at the fastest, so they pass unnoticed by all but grammarians;yet even the layman can perceive them when he is told that something that seems “quite all right” to him was regarded as erroneous only a few years ago.Nobody knows why all these changes are been made, perhaps we are in the process of reducing our verbs to a few basic words.If this is so, it may mark a change as significant as that which took place after the Norman conquests.Whatever the reasons for the changes that are taking place, the vocabulary will probably continue to expand, because the expansion of our knowledge and experience requires the invention of new words or the adaptation of old ones.Meaning will depend more and more upon word order and context, spelling will become simpler, with fewer common variants.Pronunciation, because of the great mobility of our population and the spread of radio and television, will tend to become more uniform.

Economical Globalization & Development of China
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, my name is Zhang Botao, I am from Shaanxi University of Science & Technology.When I stand here to deliver my speech, I’m a little worried about my cell phone and also yours.I’m afraid that one of them may suddenly ring loudly so that my fascinating speech will probably be interrupted by SIMENS, NOKIA, MOTOROLA or pANDA.And this is just one possible result caused by economic globalization.No matter if you admit it or not, we are now all in a global village and economic globalization is here to stay.Nowadays, economic globalization is being referred to more and more.I don’t know who first invented the word, but undoubtedly, it is steadily and inexorably becoming more and more common and important.It covers our world so quickly, just like influenza.As Charles Darwin noted: Survival of the fittest.In order to adapt to this great and global reform, I think, there must be something important and urgent we need to do, for every nation, every corporation, and even to every person.First, take me for an example.Just ten years ago, I did not know what a computer was, let alone what it can do.But since 2001, I cannot live without my computer, just like I can’t live without my cell phone!Of course, these great changes are derived from economic globalization, and the rapid development of China.For every Chinese man like me, these rapid changes mean great challenge: Because of economic globalization, many new technologies rushed into China without translation;Because of economic globalization, many unknown software appeared on our desks;And, because of the economic globalization, we must hasten our rhythm of living, working and even resting.The speed of the development of China has been tremendously accelerated, so if we don’t want to be elapsed from this great tidal wave of development, we must understand the meaning of this phrase very clearly: One is never too old to learn.Second, to an enterprise in China, it also means a problem concerning survival.Our entrance to WTO has paved the way for many super universal corporations to enter the economic market of China.This means the competition in our domestic market will be much more brutal than ever before.If our state enterprises and other companies don’t adjust to this global reform and get used to the more and more cruel competition, surely they will be elapsed in this blood-red economic battle.If you want your company to stand up at last, I think the most important thing for you to do is that, “Firm your confidence and welcome the great coming challenge.”
Third, as globalization is gradually knitting separate national economies into a single one, if one nation would like to stand up and develop during these global changes, it must effectively carry out some economical and political reforms.For example, reducing the tax to attract more international organizations to invest in our country, or do some political reforms, to cater for some important international organizations.Maintaining an average 8% economic increase rate per year needs not only effective and promising economic policy, but also the prudent leadership.Economic globalization brings us not only a great challenge, but also a great chance to develop.It brings us a great potential of international corporations and makes them take roots and develop in China.And this will create new job opportunities for our huge labor market.If we can strengthen ourselves and take the chance, I promise, China’s development will be hastened greatly, and China will become the leader of economic globalization of the world!

1.I had so worked upon my imagination as really to believe that about the whole mansion and domain there hung an atmosphere peculiar to themselves and their immediate vicinity— an atmosphere which had no affinity with the air of heaven, but which had reeked up from the decayed trees, and the grey wall, and the silent tarn—a pestilent and mystic vapor, dull, sluggish, faintly discernible, and leaden-hued.(Edgar Allan Poe: “The Fall of the House of Usher”)
译文： 我如此沉湎于自己的想象，以至于我实实在在地认为那宅院及其周围悬浮着一种它们所特有的空气。那种空气并非生发于天地自然，而是生发于那些枯树残枝、灰墙暗壁，生发于那一汪死气沉沉的湖水。那是一种神秘而致命的雾霭，阴晦，凝滞，朦胧，沉浊如铅。2.She had a very thin face like the dial of a small clock seen faintly in a dark room in the middle of a night when you waken to see the time and see the clock telling you the hour and the minute and the second, with a white silence and a glowing, all certainty and knowing what it has to tell of the night passing swiftly on toward further darkness but moving also toward a new sun.(Ray Douglas Bradbury: Fahrenheit 451)译文：（她的）容貌那么清秀，就像半夜里醒来时在黑暗中隐约可见的小小的钟面，报告时刻的钟面。它皎洁而安静，深知时间在飞驰，深信黑暗虽然越来越深沉，却也越来越接近新生的太阳。练习：

2.There was nothing to do in Loma in the evening except to go to the saloon, an old board building with swinging doors and a wooden side walk awning.Neither prohibition nor repeal had changed its business, its clientele, or the quality of its whisky.In the course of an evening every male inhabitant of Loma over fifteen years old came at least once to the Buffalo Bar, had a drink, talked a while and went home.There would be a game of the mildest kind of poker going on.Timothy Ratz, the husband of my landlady, would be playing solitaire, cheating pretty badly because he took a drink only when he got it out.I’ve seen him get out five minutes in a row.When he won he piled the cards neatly, stood up and walked with great dignity to the bar.Fat Carl, the owner and bartender, with a glass half filled before he arrived, asked, “What’ll it be?”
“Whisky,” said Timothy gravely.译文：在洛曼小镇，晚饭后除了去镇上唯一的那家酒馆便无事可做。酒馆是一座老式的木制建筑，有一扇转门，门前人行道上方有一块木制雨篷。无论是政府的禁酒令还是后来废除禁酒令的法令都未曾改变过它生意的兴隆、顾客的数量，也未曾改变过它威士忌的质量。每天晚饭后，镇上十五岁以上的男子至少要光顾布法罗酒馆一次，喝杯酒，聊聊天，然后回家。
酒馆里常有人玩扑克牌，不过其输赢聊胜于无。我那位房东太太的丈夫蒂莫西•罗兹就经常在那里玩单人纸牌游戏。他玩牌老爱作弊，因为他只在赢牌时才买上一杯酒喝。我曾见过他一口气连赢五盘。赢牌后他便把纸牌整整齐齐地叠好，然后直起身，神气十足地走向吧台。酒馆老板兼伙计胖子卡尔不等他走近吧台便会端起已斟了半杯酒的酒杯问：“来杯什么酒？”
“威士忌。”蒂莫西总是庄重地回答。练习：
1.I am a journalist, not a historian, and while this book is an effort to describe a moment in the past, it is less a work of history than of personal reminiscence and reflection.Essentially, it is an account of my own observations and experiences in wartime Washington, supplemented by material drawn from interviews and other sources.I have tried to create out of it all a portrait of the pain and struggle of a city and a government suddenly called upon to fight, and to lead other nations in fighting, the greatest war in history, but pathetically and sometimes hilariously unprepared to do so.译文：我是新闻工作者，不是历史学家，所以本书描写的虽然是过往岁月中的一刻，却称不上是一部史学著作，而仅是个人的追思。书中所写的主要是战争期间我本人在华盛顿的观察和经历，辅以采访等材料。我试图刻画一个城市和一个政府的痛苦与挣扎，这个城市和政府突然被要求参加战争，还要在战争中领导别的国家，参与的又是有史以来最伟大的战争，实在是有些措手不及，因此表现得很糟糕，有时甚至很可笑。
2.This is bound to be somewhere close to the last reporting from that period based on firsthand sources.One after another, with unsettling rapidity, those in positions of power and responsibility during World War II are passing from the scene.Several who agreed to recall and describe their experiences in the war years died before I could get to them.译文：这几乎肯定是以第一手资料写成的、有关那个时期的最后一场报道。二战中位高权重的人物一个接一个很快去世，实在令人不安。有几位原本已经答应回忆并讲述一下他们在二战中的经历，可我还没来得及拜访，他们就离开了人世。
3.I have not dealt here in any detail with the grand strategy of the war in Europe and the Pacific.Instead, I have tried to report mainly on what I saw and heard and learned in Washington during years now fading into a misty past, the wartime experience of a country two-thirds of whose people are now too young to remember any of it.The result is a sort of Our Town at war, the story of a city astonished and often confused to find itself at the center of a worldwide conflict without ever hearing a shot fired.A strange city, set up in the first place to be the center of government and, like government itself at that time, a city moving slowly and doing little.译文：我在本书中没有对欧洲及太平洋战区中的宏大战略做详尽的描述。相反，我主要报道了那些年我在华盛顿的所见所闻。这些往事已经在人们的记忆中变得越来越模糊，对于那场战争，这个国家中有三分之二的人都太年轻，对它并无记忆。结果，本书描写的就是一个以战争为背景的“我们的小镇”，讲的是一个城市在根本没有听到一声枪响的情况下，就卷入了一场全球性冲突，因而变得很惊愕，常常也很困惑。这是一个不同寻常的城市，设立时主要是想将它建成政府的中心，因此这个城市便和当时的政府一样，行动十分缓慢，所做相当有限。

1.Apple expects to have a fix this month for a vulnerability in the IPHONE that could allow an attacker to gain control of the device remotely via SMS, according to CNET.NET.com.据美国CNET科技资讯网报道，苹果公司预计将于本月修复IPHONE中存在的一个安全漏洞，这一漏洞使得黑客能够通过收发短信遥控手机。
An attacker could exploit a weakness in the way IPHONE handle SMS messages to do things likes use GPS to track the phone's location, turn on the microphone for eavesdropping, or take control of the device and add it to botnet, Charlie Miller, co-author of the Mac Hacker's Handbook and principal security analyst at Independent Security Evaluator, said in a presentation at the SyScan conference in Singapore.The presentation was covered by IDG News Service.独立安全评估公司的首席安全分析师查理·米勒，同时也是苹果黑客手册的合著者，在新加坡硅感技术会议上声称，黑客能够利用IPHONE处理短信服务中的漏洞，采用全球定位系统来跟踪IPHONE的位置，打开手机话筒窃取用户通话，或者控制手机，把手机变成“僵尸网络”的一员。该发言由IDG新闻服务报道。
Miller said that under an agreement with Apple, he was barred from providing too much detail on the vulnerability.He plans to give more detailed presentation on the hole at the Black Hat conference in Las Vegas at the end of the month.米勒说,根据与苹果公司的协议,他被禁止提供太多的细节的漏洞。他计划于本月底在拉斯维加斯举行的黑帽会议上给出对这个漏洞的更详细说明。
Despite the SMS hole, the IPHONE is more secure than OS X on computers, Miller said.That is because the IPHONE doesn't support Adobe Flash and Java, only runs software digitally signed by Apple, includes hardware protection for data stored in memory, and runs applications in a sandbox, he said.米勒指出尽管存在这一短信服务漏洞，不过相对于电脑上的OS X系统，IPONE还是比较安全的。他说，这是因为IPHONE不支持Adobe Flash和Java，只能运行苹果数字签名的软件，包括对内存中存储数据的保护硬件,和在沙箱中运行的应用程序。
Apple representatives did not immediately respond to an email request for comment.苹果代表没有立即回复电子邮件评论。
2.A 36 years-old Swiss amateur parachutist made a successful 650-metre drop using a replica of a parachute designed more than 500 years ago by Leonardo da Vinci.“I came down „ smack in the middle of the tarmac at Payerne military airport,” said Olivier Vietti-Teppa.“A perfect jump.” Vietti-Teppa is the first person to have made it safely to the ground with the Leonardo model.In 2000, Britain's Adrian Nicholas tried it but had to pull the ripcord on a modern backup parachute to complete his descent safely.瑞士一名36岁的跳伞爱好者成功地从650的高空降落，而他用的降落伞是500多年前的莱昂纳多·达·芬奇设计的降落伞的复制品。“我降落了„„手掌击在佩也那军用机场的停机坪上，”奥利弗 维耶提—帕特说道，“完美的一跳。” 维耶提—帕特是第一个用达·芬奇设计的这款降落伞安全降落到地面的人。在2000年，英国的尼古拉斯·阿德里安曾尝试但不得不打开备用的现代伞而完成安全降落。
Vietti-Teppa jumped from a hovering helicopter and the Leonardo parachute opened at 600 meters, he reported.The parachute he used was made using modern fabric along lines designed by the Renaissance genius.The specifications were found in a text dating from 1485.The parachute consists of four equilateral triangles, seven meters on each side, made of parachute fabric, Vietti-Teppa explained.The base of the pyramid is a square of mosquito net, which enables the parachute to open.A wooden frame originally conceived by da Vinci was not used on the model in action on Saturday.One drawback: it is impossible to maneuver or steer the Leonardo parachute.“You come down at the whim of the wind,” said Vietti-Teppa, who carried out advance tests using a scale dummy model launched from a remote-controlled model helicopter.维耶蒂-特帕说他从一架盘旋的直升机上跳下在600米处打开了达芬奇降落伞。降落伞是由现代的材质制造的但是其设计来自于文艺复兴时期的天才。其制作说明来自于1485年的一份资料。维耶蒂-特帕解释说:”这个降落伞由4个边长为7米的等边三角形组成，材质为降落伞绸。”金字塔底部是一块正方形的蚊帐，它可以帮助撑开降落伞。周六所使用的降落伞并没有使用达芬奇之前设计的木质框架。这种降落伞的一个缺点是你不可能控制其方向。维耶蒂-特帕说：“当你跳下来后就只能随风飘了。”他之前使用遥控直升机对比例模型进行过试验。练习：
Prime Minister Gordon Brown of Britain disclosed Saturday that an eye examination showed two tears in his right retina—a revelation that could embolden critics who want him to step down before a national election.Downing Street moved quickly to quash speculation over Brown's health, issuing the statement only one day after a regular examination at a London eye hospital.Brown's office said his eyesight remained unchanged and that no operations were planned to address the situation.“Were there to be any change, he would of course make a further statement,” Brown’s office said in a statement.Brown, who lost the use of his left eye in a sporting accident when he was a teenager and had surgery to save the sight in the other one, has been dogged by questions about his eyesight in recent months.During a visit to the United States for the Group of 20 summit, he was forced to deny that he was slowly going blind.NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams had questioned Brown over reports that he was using larger and larger text sizes as his remaining vision declined.”I had all sorts of operations,” Brown said during the September interview.“ I then had one operation on the other eye and that was very successful, so my sight is not at all deteriorating,” he said.The same month he told the BBC that “it would be a terrible, terrible indictment of our political system if you thought that because someone had this medical issue they couldn’t do their job.” The September comments came as former Home Secretary Charles Clarke told the London Evening Standard newspaper that he hoped rumors Brown would quit—perhaps on health grounds—would come true.Brown must call a general election by June 2010.Recent polls overwhelmingly suggest that the opposition Conservative Party will win after 13 years out of power.British prime ministers rarely disclose details about their health unless they need to take time off work as in 2004, when Brown’s predecessor Tony Blair had a surgical procedure to correct an irregular heartbeat.Som Prasad, a consultant ophthalmologist at Arrowe Park Hospital in northwest England, said retinal tears affect 3% of people over 40 in Britain, and only occasionally cause serious problems.摘译：英国首相办公室周六发表声明说，首相戈登，布朗在接受眼睛检查时发现右眼视网膜上有两处裂缝，据悉，反对派可能以此为由要求布朗在大选前提前下台，但布朗办公室说，这次视网膜破裂不影响布朗视力，目前也没有动手术的打算，布朗年轻时参加体育活动受伤，左眼失明，但通过手术保住了右眼视力。全文翻译：
英国首相办公室周六发表声明说，首相戈登，布朗在接受眼睛检查时发现右眼视网膜上有两处裂缝，据悉，反对派可能以此为由要求布朗在大选前提前下台。唐宁街迅速平息有关布朗的健康炒作，仅在伦敦眼科医院定期检查的一天后发布声明。布朗办公室说，这次视网膜破裂不影响布朗视力，目前也没有动手术的打算，布朗年轻时参加体育活动受伤，左眼失明，但通过手术保住了右眼视力。布朗办公室声明表示：“如有任何变化，他当会做出进一步的声明。”
青少年时因体育事故失去左眼而动手术保全另一眼睛视力的布朗近几个月来被视力问题所困扰。
在访问美国的20国集团峰会期间，他被迫否认慢慢地失明。
NBC晚间新闻主播布瑞恩威廉姆斯提出质疑，剩存视力下降使得布朗的报告使用是大字体 布朗九月的采访中说道：“我做了多种手术。”他说：“然后我还在另一只眼睛动了手术，手术非常成功，所以我的视力根本没有恶化。同月，布朗告诉英国广播公司，“如果你认为有人因为这样的医疗问题而他们不能做他们的工作，这将是对政治系统的可怕的控诉。九月，伦敦标准晚报刊登前内政大臣查尔斯克拉克的意见，他希望关于布朗可能因健康背景而将要退出的谣言将成真。布朗必须在2010六月召开大选。最近的民意调查都显示了反对党将失去权利的13年后赢得大选。
除非他们需要休息一段时间，例如2004，布朗的前任托尼布莱尔需要纠正心律不齐外科手术，否则英国首相很少披露有关他们自己的健康细节。英国西北部的Arrowe公园医院眼科顾问山姆·帕萨迪说，视网膜裂孔影响3% 的40岁以上的英国人，偶尔会导致严重的问题。uint7【新闻】（不重要）练习：
