职称英语阅读理解练习题及答案
Cancer Research UK has launched an online chat forum for cancer patients to swap stories and share experiences on how to cope with such a devastating disease.
But Cancer Chat is a forum with a difference:it has an information safety net.
This means that a Cancer Research UK team will keep a watching brief to ensure that patients are not subjected to rogue “cancer cures” or scientifically unsound information.
Anyone can have access to the messages posted on Cancer Chat but if people wish to post a message they will need to register.
And Rebekah Gibbs, cancer patient and star of TV's Casualty has pledged her support for the new project. “I think Cancer Chat is a brilliant idea,” she said. “I have written a public diary about what I went through with breast cancer and I have had such a heart-warming response from other people going through the same thing.
“The idea of a Cancer Chat forum means you can share information about treatment and side effects and you can really open up about your feelings online in a way that can be difficult when talking to close friends and family. And with Cancer Research UK monitoring the forum people can be reassured about the quality of information being exchanged.”
Cancer Chat will also encourage its users to check out any cancer questions on its CancerHelp UK website which is specially designed to give patients and their families 6,000 pages of up-to-date information that is easy to understand and explains a wide range of treatments for different types of cancer and gives details of clinical trials. There is also a UK database of cancer clinical trials.
The award-winning website attracts around one million visitors a month and Cancer Research UK hopes that some of these visitors will also want to post comments on the Cancer Chat forum.
For those who do not have access to computers and have questions about cancer, the charity's team of cancer information nurses are available during office hours to talk over patients’ concerns on the phone.

但癌症聊天是一个有区别的论坛:它有一个信息安全网。
这意味着,英国“癌症研究”研究小组将保持观察简报,以确保患者不会遭受流氓“癌症治愈”或科学不健全的信息。
任何人都可以访问在癌症聊天发布的消息,但如果有人希望发布消息,他们将需要注册。
而利百加吉布斯(Rebekah Gibbs),癌症病人和电视台的“伤员”(Stars of Casualty)的明星都表示支持这个新项目。 “我认为癌症聊天是一个辉煌的想法,”她说。 “我已经写了关于我经历了乳腺癌的公开日记,而且我也遇到过这样一个令人心动的回应,其他人也经历了同样的事情。
“癌症聊天论坛的想法意味着您可以分享关于治疗和副作用的信息,您可以在与亲密的朋友和家人交谈时以很难的.方式开放网络感受。随着英国“癌症研究”(UK Research)监测论坛,人们可以放心交换信息的质量。
癌症聊天也将鼓励其用户检查其在CancerHelp英国网站上的任何癌症问题,该网站专门为患者及其家属提供6000页最新信息,易于理解,并解释了广泛的治疗方法不同类型的癌症,并提供临床试验的细节。还有一个英国癌症临床试验数据库。
屡获殊荣的网站每月吸引约一百万名访问者,而“癌症研究英国”(Cancer Research UK)希望其中一些访客也想在“癌症聊天”论坛上发表评论。
