Part I (30%)

Passage 1

In 2014, older Americans fell 29 million times, leading to 7 million

injuries, according to a report published last week. About 2.8 million cases

were treated in emergency department, and approximately 800,000 seniors went on

to be hospitalized. More than 27,000 falls led to death. (76) And the problem

is getting more and more serious.

“Older adult falls are increasing and, sadly, often indicate the end of

independence,” said Dr. Tom Frieden. The fallsare preventable, Frieden

stressed. He said individuals, families and health care providers can take

steps to resist the trend.

Dr. Wolf-Klein is a medical professor in New York. She said one concern is

that seniors who have experienced a fall alone at home don’t tell anyone. When

that happens, prevention efforts don’t begin and they’re at risk 学位英语包过

“Elderly patients tend not to report falls to their families, or even

doctors. A fall is a very frightening thing that you keep quiet about. They

think if they mention it, they are afraid that they will move to a nursing home

or need assistants to help out in the house,” said Wolf-Klein.

It’s also a status issue and may make someone feel that they’re weaker

than they really are, she explained. When someone does fall and hurt

themselves, they’re often never the same, Wolf-Klein said. “You can develop

chronic( 慢性的 )problems. After a fall, a percentage of the population will

never return to walking around. People used to taking the subway, now they’re

in a wheelchair, or they may need help going to the bathroom. They become

frailer and lose independence,” she said.
