　　Are You Just Not Ill or Excellent in Health? 　　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 bodys special needs. Both types have simply been called well. In recent years, however, some health specialists have begun to apply the terms 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 bodys 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. 　　A.keeping people in a healthy physical condition. 　　C.monitoring patients body functions. 　　正确答案:B 　　2.In the first paragraph, people are reminded that 　　B.regular health checks are essential to keeping fit. 　　D.good health is more than not being ill. 　　解析:问题问的是：第一段提醒人们什么?第一段列举了一些人虽然有某种不良的习惯，但是还算健康，但是后面紧接着说他们还可以健康得多。由此可见这些不良的习惯还是在某种程度上对这些人的健康有害的。其中就包括喝点酒但是并不醉酒驾车的人。因此A正确，即喝酒，即使不喝多也会对健康有害。BC在文中并没有提到;D是第二段提到的。 　　A.does not have any unhealthy living habits. 　　C.is free from any kind of disease. 　　正确答案:C 　　4.According to the author, the true meaning of wellness is for people 　　B.to strive to maintain the best possible health. 　　D.to keep a proper balance between work and leisure. 　　解析:问题问的是：作者认为正真意义上的健康是什么?第二段第五行提到正真的健康的人是指那些积极争取保持或改善身体状况的人。因此B正确。 　　A.People who have strong muscles as well as slim figures. 　　C.People who try to be as healthy as possible, regardless of their limitations. 　　正确答案:C
