5、If you're a male and you're reading this，congratulations：you're a survivor．According to statistics，you're more than twice as likely to die of skin cancer as a woman，and nine times more likely to die of AIDS．Assuming you make it to the end of your natural term，about 78 years for men in Australia, you'll die on average five years before a woman．
There're many reasons for this―typically，men take more risks than women and are more likely to drink and smoke―but perhaps more importantly，men don't go to the doctor．
“Men aren't seeing doctors as often as they should．”says Dr Gullotta．“This is particularly so for the over-40s，when diseases tend to strike．”
Gullotta says a healthy man should visit the doctor every year or two．For those over 45，it should be at least once a year．
According to a recent survey，95％ of women aged between 15 and early 40s see a doctor once a year，compared to 70％ of men in the same age group．
“A lot of men think they're invincible(不可戰(zhàn)勝的)，”，Gullotta says．“They only come in when a friend drops dead on the golf course and they think,‘Geez，if it could happen to him．．．’”
“Then there's the ostrich approach．Some men are scared of what might be there and would rather not know，”says Dr Ross Cartmill．
“Most men get their cars serviced more regularly than they service their bodies，”Cartmill says．He believes most diseases that commonly affect men could be addressed by preventive check-ups．
“Regular check-ups for men would surely place strain(緊張)on the public purse，”Cartmill says．“But prevention is cheaper in the long run than having to treat the disease．Besides，the final cost is far greater：it's called premature(未到期的)death．”
68．From the passage we can know the natural term for women in Australia is about years．
A．73 B．78 C．83 D．88
69．What does the author think is the most important reason why men die five years earlier on average than women?
A．Men drink and smoke much more than women．
B．Men don't seek medical care as often as women．
C．Men aren't as careful as women in face of danger
D．Men are more likely to suffer from serious disease
70．Which of the following best completes the sentence“Geez, if it could happen to him．．．” in Para6?
A．it could happen to me, too B．I should avoid playing golf
C．I should consider myself lucky D．it would be a big misfortune
71．What does Cartmill say about regular check-ups for men?
A．They may increase public expense．
B．They will save money in the long run
C．They may cause psychological strain on men
D．They will enable men to live as long as women．
5、68．C從第1段最后一句話“Assuming you make it to the end of your natural term，about 78 years for men in Australia，you'll die on average five years before a woman”可知答案。
69．B從第2段可知答案。
70．A第6段中Gullotta說到，男人們一般不相信自己會(huì)得病，除非是當(dāng)身邊的朋友打高爾夫球的時(shí)候突然死亡。也就是說，當(dāng)男人們?cè)诳吹阶约荷磉叺呐笥淹蝗凰劳龅那闆r下會(huì)相信有一天同樣的事情也有可能發(fā)生在他們自己身上。
71．B最后一段中第1句話中Cartmill說到，男人進(jìn)行常規(guī)檢查不可避免地會(huì)增大社會(huì)公眾錢包的壓力。這個(gè)地方的意思就是要想進(jìn)行常規(guī)檢查，肯定要花錢?但是最后一段第2句話又說，但是在長(zhǎng)期看來，預(yù)防(常規(guī)檢查)要比你(發(fā)現(xiàn)病了)不得不去治療花的錢少。言外之意，常規(guī)檢查雖然花了一點(diǎn)錢，但從長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)的角度來講，從預(yù)防的角度來講，花錢是花得比較少的。
