Chinese medical experts have warned that antibiotics (抗生素) are “41 overused” in hospitals, which may cause serious side-effects
for the health of an entire generation.
According to the ministry, 70 percent of Chinese inpatients have received antibiotics, while the maximum number set by the World Health Organization is 30 percent. About 97 percent of 42__ patients used antibiotics but research showed that a large number of them could avoid the need if hospitals conducted proper sanitation measures.
Particularly, antibiotics are overused in the 43 of children. Nearly one third of the daily 10,000 outpatients at the Beijing Children’s Hospital take intravenous（进入静脉的）drips that largely contain antibiotics, said Yang Yonghong, a doctor with the hospital.
“Some doctors might lack proper trainin g on how to 44
antibiotics in a more precise way and avoid 45 risks. Some simply want to play it safe,” said Zhu Zhenggang, president of Shanghai-based
Ruijin Hospital.
The ministry 46 a nationwide campaign over the past six months
to 47 the use of antibiotics. Vice Health Minister Ma Xiaowei admitted that the government faces great challenges as many public hospitals
have 48 supervision on prescription safety under heavy pressure from patients.
Insiders also noted that the overuse of antibiotics was partly 49 by profit-seeking pharmacy firms. There are more than 6,000 pharmacy companies in China that produce more than 1,000 kinds of antibiotics.
About 60 percent of the newly approved medicines by the State Food and Drug Administration last year were antibiotics. According to the SFDA, the country reported 690,000 cases of adverse drug reactions caused by abuse of medicine, including 600 deaths in 2010.

I’ve been teaching piano lessons in my spare time for over 30 years. Even though I have never had the 50 of having a prodigy（天才）, I have taught some very 51 students.
However, I have also had my share of what I call
‘musically52 ’pupils—one such pupil being Robby, an 11 year old
boy, who told me that it had always been his mother’s (a single mom) __53__to hear him play the piano. So I took him as a student.
From the beginning Robby seemed to 54 the natural capability needed to excel. But he dutifully reviewed the elementary piano pieces that I 55 all my students to learn. Over the months he tried and
tried 56 I listened and tried to encourage him.
Then one day Robby stopped coming for his lessons. And I was glad about that. After all, he was a bad 57 for my teaching!
Then came the recital（演奏会）. To my 58 , Robby, having received a flyer, asked to be in it.
He told me that his mother had been sick and unable to take him to his piano lessons, but that he had been 59 . “Please Miss Honor,
I’ve just got to play.” he insisted. I don’t know what led me to allow him to play in the recital—perhaps it was his 60 or maybe something inside of me saying that it would be all right.
On the night of the performance, I put Robby 61 in the program, just before I was to come up and thank all the students and play a finishing piece. I thought that any 62 he might do would come at the end of the program and I could always salvage（挽救）his 63 performance through my ‘curtain closer’.
It turned out that Robby played wonderfully.
