Sometimes they cut a hole in the sick persons head to let the bad spirit out. Others thought that illness was a punishment from the gods. The Greeks in old times were the first to understand that bad spirits and gods do not cause disease. Hippocrates, called the father of medicine, and another Greek named Galen believed that disease was caused by our body fluids（液体）which are not balanced. Doctors used bleeding as a treatment for almost all illnesses. The doctor cut blood vessel（血管）and got out some blood. They thought this brought the fluids back into balance. Doctors performed surgical operations（外科手术）, About half of the surgical patients died from infection（感染）. Operating rooms were dirty, and surgeons did not even wash their hands. Things got better after Pasteur and Koch. British surgeon Joseph Lister showed how to make operating rooms clean. Operations once had to be done quickly because there was so way to put patients to sleep. A doctor and a dentist first used ether（乙醚）in the 1s. Ether and other drugs let surgeons put patients to sleep during operations. These drugs, called anesthetics, reduce pain during surgery. With anesthetics, surgeons learned how to perform longer operations to save lives. Medical researchers are now looking for ways to cure diseases caused by problems with genes. Genes are made of DNA. If something goes wrong with its DNA, the gene can make trouble. Some problems with genes appear at birth. Others happen later on. Doctors do not yet have good treatments for diseases caused by genetic problems. Doctors and researchers are also working to prevent diseases by helping people lead healthy lives. They tell us to eat nutritious food, exercise, avoid smoking, and have regular physical checkups. 31. How did the Greeks in the past treat patients? （ ）A. They used four fluids to clean the body. B. They had some blood taken out of the body. C. They balanced the patients with water. D. They asked spirits and gods for help. 32. Why did about half of the surgical patients in the past die? （ ）A. Ether was used properlyB. Patients were infected. C. Surgeons performed longer operations. D. Doctors didnt use operating rooms. 33. What can anesthetics be used to do? （ ）A. Help a person sleep well.B. Cut open part of body as a knife. C. Make part of body free of sense or pain. D. Save ones life if the operation fails. 34. What can we conclude from the text? （ ）A. Good lifestyle helps one prevent diseases. B. Any problem with genes happens before one is born.C. Genetic treatment is the best way to remove diseases. D. Regular physical checkups were popular in the past. 35. Which is the best title of the text? （ ）A. How doctors cured diseasesB. Medicine around the worldC. Development of surgical operationsD.
