Simplified Medical English Readings Mini Presentation Objective Requirements 本课教学目的与要求 通过学习这些读物，要求学生同已学的三篇TEXT（Antibiotics Resistance，Hello Dolly! Stress）作个比较，使他们认识到，虽是同样的题目，但内容的广度与深度及语言的使用（包括词汇和语句结构）都大不相同。因为这些文章面对的读者是非医学专业人群，采用的词汇和句子结构地道但却又浅显，文章意思明了，通俗易懂。因此要求学生注意模仿，应用于写作和口头交流，尤其在初学阶段。通过光盘的演示，要求学生模仿演说时的语音语调及使用的语句表达，并结合所学读物作这些主题的Mini Presentation，锻炼专业英语的口语能力。 Focus Difficulties For a number of years antibiotics seemed to be winning the battle against disease. Then doctors noticed that some gems were not being killed. Some kinds of bacteria were no longer affected by an antibiotic that used to kill them. Focus Difficulties 作者一开始就将抗菌素跟细菌（疾病）的关系描绘成一场战役，本来抗菌素就是用来杀死细菌的，理所当然会赢得会这场战役。但如今医生发现有些细菌却变得不会再被抗菌素所杀死了。什么原因呢？作者由此展开下文，仍然用十分简单而又有趣的语言阐述细菌对抗菌素的抗药性的严重情况与原因所在等等。 Medical Words Expressions frontal headaches: headaches over the forehea” dyspnea: labored or difficult breathing paroxymal: occurring as sudden, periodic attacks retinopathy: disorder of the retina orthopnea: 端坐呼吸 well-oriented to time, place and person: a well-established phrase in the reporting of a patient’s condition, meaning that the patient is fully conscious of what is going on around him. Exercise Mini-presentation 作Mini-presentation的要求是脱稿，形式可以回绕所学的三篇读物的内容一人演讲，也可对话讨论，但都要事先准备并在小组练习。
