35、lf of the worlds liver cancer cases and deaths. The good news is that nowscientists in China have identified DNA markers specific to liver (肝脏）cancer, which isexpected to greatly improve accuracy in diagnosis (诊断）of it.Using the new technology, doctors can provide a diagnosis to patients with liver
36、cancerthrough simple blood tests. That could decrease the chances of a misdiagnosis by morethan half, according to Xu Ruihua, director of the Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center in5Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, who has led the research.After five years of research, involving over 100 researchers f
37、rom different institutes,the scientists identified methylation in DNA circulating in the blood that is related to livercancer. Methylation is an abnormal genetic change that can cause cancer, Xu said. Usingsamples of DNA from a large group of 1,098 liver cancer patients and 835 healthy peoplefor com
38、parison, they constructed a diagnostic prediction model that showed high sensitivityand accuracy, Xu said in the study, which was published in Nature Materials , a sciencejournal, on Monday.Currently, a method that is often used for diagnosis of early-stage liver cancer is tocheck the level of alpha
39、 fetoprotein (甲胎蛋白），which normally remains at very low levelin the blood but increases significantly in many liver cancer patients. But the method isineffective for 40 percent of those who have liver cancer, and 20 percent of patients with noliver cancer are diagnosed as having the disease because r
40、ising alpha fetoprotein levels canalso be caused by factors such as pregnancy and so on, Xu said.But using the new method, about 85 percent of cancer patients can be diagnosed andonly about 7 percent of patients are misdiagnosed, he said. The new method is moreaccurate and much simpler and does not
41、require other tests, Xu said. The center hasdeveloped tests for liver cancer based on the research, and they will be used on people witha high risk of the disease at Sun Yat-sen Universitys Cancer Hospital, he said. And thetests are expected to be widely available for clinical use by the end of the
42、year, he said.43. What effect does the new technology produce?A. The death rate of liver cancer will decrease.B. It saves the trouble of the doctors and patients.C. Xu Ruihua will be famous overnight.D. There will be less patients of liver cancer.44. What is the disadvantage of the current method ch

45、k and watching a film are two very different experiences, but expectations can be high when a film of a favourite book is made. There are very many times I have been disappointed by a film of a book I love. So maybe highly regarded books do not always make good films, it is safe to say that great mo
46、vies may be made from not particularly good books.The source material may be anything from classic novels, short stories, comic books and stage plays, as well as non-fiction such as biography and autobiography, even those written by ghostwriters. All can work well, but why do many adaptations and in
47、deed remakes fail with both cinema audiences and critics?A key question is obviously how close to the original the film is. Since a typical film is only around two hours long, it becomes a question of what to leave out, and how to script the dialogue. Sometimes there may be changes to the plot, addi
48、tions and even different endings to please producers, directors and test audiences. I, like many people, have often left the cinema feeling “the film is not like the book”.Another problem area is the cast. Whether suitable actors are found or not can mean the difference between 6success and failure.
49、 Readers of the book use their imaginations to visualize characters and have very definite ideas about how characters look and sound. This is where I think many film adaptations fall down.Some books are just too difficult to film for technical reasons, although movies likeThe Life of Pi are changing this perception. The impact of CGI technology has had a hugeimpact on the movie industry and allowed the previously unfilmable to become a reality.Sometimes authors are very involved in the process and many may even be thescreenwriter
