Evaluating Sources (来源) of Health Information
Making good choices about your own health requires reasonable evaluation. A key first step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of health information. Reasonable evaluation includes knowing where and how to find relevant information, how to separate fact from opinion, how to recognize poor reasoning, and how to analyze information and the reliability of sources. __1__
Go to the original source. Media reports often simplify the results of medical research. Find out for yourself what a study really reported, and determine whether it was based on good science. Think about the type of study.__2__
Watch for misleading language. Some studies will find that a behaviour “contributes to” or is “associated with” an outcome; this does not mean that a certain course must lead to a certain result. __3__ Carefully read or listen to information in order to fully understand it.
Use your common sense. If a report seems too good to be true, probably it is. Be especially careful of information contained in advertisements.__4__ Evaluate “scientific” statements carefully, and be aware of quackery(江湖骗术)．
__5__ Friends and family members can be a great source of ideas and inspiration, but each of us needs to find a healthy lifestyle that works for us.
Developing the ability to evaluate reasonably and independently about health problems will serve you well throughout your life.
A．Make choices that are right for you.
B．The goal of an ad is to sell you something.
C．Be sure to work through the critical questions.
D．And examine the findings of the original research.
E．Distinguish between research reports and public health advice.
F．Be aware that information may also be incorrectly explained by an author's point of view.
G．The following suggestions can help you sort through the health information you receive from common sources.
文章大意：本文为说明文。作者针对如何识别正确的健康信息提供了一些建议。
答案：
1．G　根据文章第二段、第三段、第四段的首句可以看出作者提供了一些建议，因此本空引出了下文的多个建议，故选择G项。
2．D　根据第二段的第一句“Go to the original source.”可以看出D选项“And examine the findings of the original research.”与第二段内容匹配。
3．F　根据第三段第一句“Watch for misleading language.”可以看出F项“Be aware that information may also be incorrectly explained...”与本段内容匹配。
4．B　空格处前一句中出现的advertisements与B项中的ad对应，因此选择B项。
5．A　空格后的“...that works for us.”与A项“Make choices that are right for you.”对应，故选择A项。
