Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50.

The need for a surgical operation, especially an emergency operation, almost always comes as a severe shock to the patient and his family. Despite modern advances, most people still have an irrational fear of hospitals and anaesthetics. Patients do riot often believe they really need surgery- cutting into a part of the body as opposed to treatment with drugs.

          In the early year of the 20th century, there was little specialization in surgery. A good surgeon was capable of performing almost every operation that had been advised up to that time. Today the situation is different. Operations are now being carried out that were not even dreamed of fifty years ago. The heart can be safely opened and its valves repaired. Cloyed blood vessels can be clean out, and broken ones mended and replaced. A lung, the whole stomach, or even part of the brain can be removed and still permit the patient to live a comfortable and satisfactory life. However, not every surgeon wants to, or is qualified to carry out every type of modern operation. 

          The scope of surgery has increase remarkable in the past decades. Its safety has increased, too. Deaths from most operations are about 20% of what they were in 1910 and surgery has been extended in many directions, for example, to certain types of birth defects in new born babies, and at the other end of the scale, to life-saving operation for the octogenarian .The hospital stay after surgery has been shortened to as little as a week for most major operations. Most patients are out of bed on the day after an operation and may be back at work in two or three weeks.

          One of the most revolutionary areas of modern surgery is that of organ transplants. Until a few decades ago, no person, except an identical twins, was able to accept into his body the tissues of another person without reacting against them and eventually killing them. Recently, however, it has been discovered that with the use of X-rays and special drugs, it is possible to graft tissues from one person to another which will survive for periods of a year or more. Kidneys have been successfully transplanted between non-identical twins. Heart and lung transplants have also been reasonably successful.

          “Spare parts” surgery, the simple routine replacement of all worn-out organs by new ones, is still a dream of the future but surgery is ready for such miracles. In the meantime, you can be happy if the doctors say to you: “Yes, l think it is possible to operate on you for this condition”.

You can be happy if your surgeon can operate because it means______.

A. he thinks your condition may be curable

B. he is a good doctor.

C. he knows you will survive

D. you are getting better already

Many developments in modern surgery are almost incredible.

PHẪU THUẬT HIỆN ĐẠI

Việc cần thiết phải tiến hành phẫu thuật, đặc biệt là phẫu thuật khẩn cấp, luôn luôn là một cú sốc đối với cả bệnh nhân và gia đình của họ. Mặc dù có những tiến bộ hiện đại, hầu hết mọi người đều sợ bệnh viện và thuốc gây mê một cách vô lý. Bệnh nhân thường không tin rằng họ thực sự cần đến phẫu thuật - phải cắt bỏ một phần cơ thể so với điều trị bằng thuốc.

Những năm đầu của thế kỷ 20 có rất ít chuyên môn trong ngành phẫu thuật. Một bác sĩ phẫu

thuật tốt có thể thực hiện hầu hết các ca được biết đến thời kỳ đó. Ngày nay tình hình đã khác. Những gì mà ngày nay đang tiến hành, không thể có trong giấc mơ của 50 năm về trước. Tim có thể được phẫu thuật một cách an toàn và van có thể được sửa chữa. Mạch máu tắc có thể được thông, và những mạch vỡ có thế được chữa lành hoặc thay thế. Một lá phổi, toàn bộ dạ dày, ngay cả một phần của não cũng có thể cắt bỏ mà người bệnh vẫn sống thoải mái và bình thường. Tuy nhiên, không phải tất cả các bác sĩ phẫu thuật đều muốn làm hay có đủ năng lực để làm những ca hiện đại này.

Phạm Vi phẫu thuật đã tăng lên đáng kể trong những thập kỷ qua. Độ an toàn cũng tăng cao. Tử vong do phẫu thuật chỉ còn khoảng 20% so với năm 1910 và phẫu thuật đã được mở rộng theo nhiều hướng, ví dụ như một số loại dị tật bẩm sinh ở trẻ mới sinh ra, hoặc thậm chí các hoạt động kéo dài sự sống cho người già tám mươi tuổi. Thời gian lưu lại bệnh viện sau khi phẫu thuật đã được rút ngắn xuống còn một tuần cho hầu hết các ca. Đa số bệnh nhân có thể xuống giường chỉ một ngày sau ca mổ và có thể trở lại làm việc trong hai hoặc ba tuần.

Nhiều tiến bộ trong phẫu thuật hiện đại dường như khó mà tin được. Chẳng hạn như thay thế các mạch máu bị hư hỏng bằng những mô hình nhựa: van tim có thay thế bằng nhựa; cấy mô như ống kính của mắt; phát minh thận nhân tạo để làm sạch máu khỏi chất độc đều đặn và sự phát triển của máy tim và phổi để duy trì sự sống cho bệnh nhân trong thời gian dài. Tất cả những điều này mở ra một triển vọng mới cho tương lai của phẫu thuật.

Một trong những khu vực mang tính cách mạng nhất của phẫu thuật hiện đại là cấy ghép nội

tạng. Chỉ một vài thập kỷ trước đây, không có một ai, ngoại trừ một cặp sinh đôi giống hệt nhau, mới có thể cấy ghép mô vào cơ thể của người khác mà không bị phản ứng đào thải và dần dần thậm

chí các mô sẽ chết. Tuy nhiên, gần đây, người ta phát hiện ra rằng với việc sử dụng X-quang và các

loại thuốc đặc biệt, sẽ có thế ghép mô từ người này sang người khác và tồn tại trong thời gian một năm hoặc nhiều hơn. Thận đã được cấy ghép thành công giữa anh em sinh đôi không giống nhau. Tim và phổi cấy ghép cũng khá thành công.

Phẫu thuật “linh kiện”, sự thay thế các bộ phận cơ thể có chức năng đơn giản đã không thể hoạt động, bằng những bộ phận thay thế mới, vẫn là một ước mơ cho tương lai, tuy nhiên ngành phẫu thuật đã sẵn sàng cho những phép màu như vậy. Và rồi, bạn sẽ hạnh phúc biết bao khi các bác sỹ nói với bạn rằng, “Vâng, trong trưòng hợp này, tôi nghĩ nó có thể hoạt động tốt trên cơ thể bạn”.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 9 to 13.

Scientists have experimented with a new procedure for alleviating the damage caused by strokes. Strokes are frequently caused by a blood clot lodging in the tree of arteries in the head, choking the flow of blood. Some brain cells die as a direct result of the stroke, but others also die over several hours because the proteins spilling out of the first cells that die trigger a chemical chain reaction that kills the neighboring cells.

The current method of reducing the amount of damage is to give a clot dissolver, known as TPA, as soon as possible. But generally TPA is not given to the patient until he or she reaches the hospital, and it still does not immediately stop the damage.

The new technology, still in the research stage, involves chilling the area or the entire patient. It is already known that when an organ is cooled, damage is slowed. This is why sometimes a person who has fallen into an icy pond is not significantly harmed after being warmed up again. The biggest issue is the method of cooling. It is not feasible to chill the head alone. Doctors have chilled the entire body by wrapping the patient in cold materials, but extreme shivering was a problem.

The new idea is to cool the patient from the inside out. Several companies are studying the use of cold-tipped catheters, inserted into the artery in the groin and threaded up to the inferior vena cava, which is a large vein that supplies blood to the abdomen. The catheter is expected to cool the blood that flows over it, thus allowing cooler blood to reach the area of the stroke damage.

It is not expected that the cooling will be substantial, but even a slight decrease in temperature is thought to be helpful. In effect, the patient is given a kind of forced hypothermia. And doctors believe it is important to keep the patient awake so that they can converse with the patient in order to ascertain mental condition.

Studies continue to determine the most effective and least damaging means of cooling the patient in order to reduce this damage.

According to the passage, all of the following are true except that _____.

A. some cells die immediately when a person has a stroke, and others die later 

B. the protein from dead cells kills other cells 

C. cells die only as a direct result of the stroke 

D. TPA is effective in removing blood clots

Scientists have experimented with a new procedure for alleviating the damage caused by strokes. Strokes are frequently caused by a blood clot lodging in the tree of arteries in the head, choking the flow of blood. Some brain cells die as a direct result of the stroke, but others also die over several hours because the proteins spilling out of the first cells that die trigger a chemical chain reaction that kills the neighboring cells.

The current method of reducing the amount of damage is to give a clot dissolver, known as TPA, as soon as possible. But generally TPA is not given to the patient until he or she reaches the hospital, and it still does not immediately stop the damage.

The new technology, still in the research stage, involves chilling the area or the entire patient. It is already known that when an organ is cooled, damage is slowed. This is why sometimes a person who has fallen into an icy pond is not significantly harmed after being warmed up again. The biggest issue is the method of cooling. It is not feasible to chill the head alone. Doctors have chilled the entire body by wrapping the patient in cold materials, but extreme shivering was a problem.

The new idea is to cool the patient from the inside out. Several companies are studying the use of cold-tipped catheters, inserted into the artery in the groin and threaded up to the inferior vena cava, which is a large vein that supplies blood to the abdomen. The catheter is expected to cool the blood that flows over it, thus allowing cooler blood to reach the area of the stroke damage.

It is not expected that the cooling will be substantial, but even a slight decrease in temperature is thought to be helpful. In effect, the patient is given a kind of forced hypothermia. And doctors believe it is important to keep the patient awake so that they can converse with the patient in order to ascertain mental condition.

Studies continue to determine the most effective and least damaging means of cooling the patient in order to reduce this damage.

According to the passage, what causes a stroke?

A. Low blood flow

B. A blood clot sticking in an area of the brain 

C. Hot blood

D. A patient choking on food

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50.

The need for a surgical operation, especially an emergency operation, almost always comes as a severe shock to the patient and his family. Despite modern advances, most people still have an irrational fear of hospitals, and anaesthetics. Patients do not often believe they really need surgery - cutting into a part of the body as opposed to treatment with drugs.

In the early years of the 20th century there was little specialization in surgery. A good surgeon was capable of performing almost every operation that had been advised up to that time. Today the situation is different. Operations are now being carried out that were not even dreamed of fifty years ago. The heart can be safely opened and its valves repaired. Clogged blood vessels can be cleaned out, and broken ones mended or replaced. A lung, the whole stomach, or even part of the brain can be removed and still permit the patient to live comfortable and satisfactory life. However, not every surgeon wants to, or is qualified to carry out every type of modern operation.

The scope of surgery has increased remarkably in the past decades. Its safety has increased too. Deaths from most operations are about 20% of what they were in 1910 and surgery has been extended in many directions, for example to certain types of birth defects in new born babies, and, at the other end of the scale, to life saving operations for the octogenarian. The hospital stay after surgery has been shortened to as little as a week for most major operations. Most patients are out of bed on the day after an operation and may be back at work in two or three weeks.

Many developments in modern surgery are almost incredible. They include replacement of damaged blood vessels with simulated ones made of plastic: the replacement of heart valves with plastic substitutes; the transplanting of tissues such as lens of the eye; the invention of the artificial kidney to clean the blood of poisons at regular intervals and the development of heart and lung machines to keep patients alive during very long operations. All these things open a hopeful vista for the future of surgery.

One of the most revolutionary areas of modem surgery is that of organ transplants. Until a few decades ago, no person, except an identical twin, was able to accept into his body the tissues of another person without reacting against them and eventually killing them. Recently, however, it has been discovered that with the use of X-rays and special drugs, it is possible to graft tissues from one person to another which will survive for periods of a year or more. Kidneys have been successfully transplanted between non-identical twins. Heart and lung transplants have also been reasonably successful.

"Spare parts" surgery, the simple routine replacement of all worn-out organs by new ones, is

still a dream of the future but surgery is ready for such miracles. In the meantime, you can be happy if your doctors say to you, "Yes, I think it is possible to operate on you for this condition."
