It originated with the German physician Samuel Hahnemann (17551843). He came across the cinchona, the bark
34、of a South American tree that was used by the local people to treat fevers. Among the active ingredients in the bark is quinine（奎宁), which is still used to treat malaria. If a healthy person took cinchona, he or she would have symptoms (症状) of malaria. In 1796 and 1810, Hahnemann published essays on
35、 the theories of homeopathy: substances that cause illnesses or symptoms in people can be used in small doses as treatment. Supporters of homeopathy viewed it as a safe, patient-centered system. Hahnemann claimed he could cure any and all illnesses using homeopathic principles.However, the Australia
36、n council sought to evaluate this claim once and for all. Their assessment was based on the analysis of 57 published systematic reviews encompassing 176 individual studies, independent evaluation of evidence provided by homeopathy interest groups and the public, and clinical practice guidelines and
37、reports on homeopathy from other governments. Studies were only considered if they were case-controlled, meaning they compared a group of patients receiving homeopathic treatments with a control group. The council who oversaw this review consisted of experts in conventional-based medicine as well as
38、 complementary and alternative medicines. As a guideline, for a treatment to be considered effective, it must result in health improvements that cannot be explained by the placebo (安8慰剂) effect, these improvements must be meaningful for a persons overall health and the results have to be seen consis
39、tently in several studies. A draft of the report was reviewed by a group of independent experts in complementary medicine research and opened up for public consultation before it was finalized.Eventually, the council found no reliable evidence that homeopathic treatments were effective. Studies that
40、 did find homeopathy to be effective were overall of poor scientific quality, used too few patients or lacked evidence on which to base their conclusions. Rejecting proven medical treatments in favor of homeopathy for chronic or potentially serious conditions could place people at risk. As always, u
41、se of homeopathic or other remedies should be discussed with your physician in order to make informed healthcare decisions. 53. We can learn from the passage that homeopathy is a system of medicine in which _.A. patients are given very small amounts of a drug that produces symptoms in healthy people
42、B. patients are evaluated by using very small amounts of the substance causing illness or symptomsC. patients would have symptoms of malaria if they took cinchona D. patients relying on homeopathy can explain their health improvements by th e placebo effect54. The underlined word “encompassing” can
43、most probably be replaced by _.A. encouraging B. searching C. conducting D. including55. When evaluating homeopathic treatments, the Australian council was most concerned about _.A. the source of the data to be analyzedB. the criteria of an effective treatmentC. the objectivity and reliability of th
44、e evaluationD. the experts involved in the evaluation56. Which of the following reasons for the ineffectiveness of homeopathic treatments is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Studies about homeopathic treatments were not scientifically accurate.9B. Hahnemanns theories about homeopathic treatments got
45、no response. C. Conclusions of homeopathic treatments were short of solid evidence.D. Blind use of homeopathic treatments might put people in danger.CIm sitting here in this coffee shop. You know the one there by Allen street. The town is filled with thousands of middle class college kids living off
46、 their parents money. The coffee shop is where the ones come to play the part of sophisticated bohemians (放荡不羁的文化人).
