15 Physicians Integrate Yoga Into Medical Practice

A major part of this effort, however, is directed at 5 yoga therapy into the mainstream health care system by training medical providers to use yogic breathing and techniques to treat various maladies. "We need to expand the 6 of physicians—yoga is much more than just relaxation response," he said.

Since starting this push in 2010, Life in Yoga has trained 145 doctors. Its programs, 7 sponsored by Howard University College of Medicine, are recognized by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education(美国继续医学教育认证委员会). That means doctors can earn credits they need to keep their licenses 8 by learning about yoga. A four-day yoga course costs doctors $695.

Yoga therapy is a 9 new addition to the list of accredited(授权的,认定的)courses, but one that has proved helpful to physicians, said Dr. Murray Kopelow, president and CEO of the ACCME. For Narayanan, the ability to treat a 10 disease and have evidence of a proven outcome is the crux(关键,难题)of his work with health care providers. He said psychiatrists often see the most powerful results of the practice—sometimes replacing drugs with breathing exercises.

长难句点睛

Narayanan, a long-time practitioner and economist by day, is one of the founders of Life In Yoga, a nonprofit organization that seeks to educate people on the benefits of this ancient Indian practice. (Line 1, Para. 2)

[解析]此句的主干是Narayanan...is one of the founders of Life In Yoga。a... practitioner and economist...是Narayanan的同位语。a nonprofit organization that...是Life In Yoga的同位语,其中that引导的定语从句修饰前面的organization。

[译文]纳拉亚南练习瑜伽已久,生活中是一位经济学家。他是“瑜伽生活”的创始人之一。该组织是非营利性的,试图教导人们有关这项古老印度运动的益处。

答案精解

1.B avoids

[快速解题]动词辨义题。根据空格上下文可以判断,空格与uses,shows up并列,因此空格处需要填入一个动词,且为第三人称单数形式。备选的动词中,只有avoids“避免”符合语境,“避免使用梵文词汇”与上文提到的“在瑜伽课上使用大家所熟悉的词汇”相一致,故选B。

2.N Stretching

[快速解题]动词辨义题。该空格所在的分句作主句the 30 students learned...的伴随状语,又因空格与主句主语是主谓关系,所以空格处需要填入一个动名词。备选词汇中,Picking意为“选择”,pick out意为“挑选”,用在此处语义不通顺,故而可以排除。Stretching可以与out搭配使用,stretch out意为“伸展四肢”,符合文意,故选N。

3.O techniques

[快速解题]名词辨义题。根据空格前的learned可以判断,此处应填入一个名词。由下文中的breathing and techniques以及breathing exercises可知,瑜伽课上人们会学习呼吸技巧。备选的名词中,只有techniques“技巧”符合语境,故选O。

4.L seeks

[快速解题]动词辨义题。空格所在的定语从句中缺少一个谓语。该定语从句的关系代词that修饰a nonprofit organization,故谓语应该是第三人称单数形式。剩余备选动词中,seeks符合要求。seeks意为“设法,试图”,后接动词不定式,符合此处语境,故选L。

5.F integrating

[快速解题]动词辨义题。根据空格前介词at和空格后介词into可以判断,此处需要填入一个动名词。备选词汇中,只有integrating“使结合”符合此处语境,故选F。integrate A into B意为“使A融入B"。

6.E horizons

[快速解题]名词辨义题。根据空格前的the和空格后的of可以判断,此处需要填入一个名词。备选名词中,只有horizons“视野”符合语境,expand the horizons意为“扩展视野”,与破折号后的内容相呼应,故选E。

7.G jointly

[快速解题]副词辨义题。根据空格后的sponsored可以判断,此处需要填入一个副词修饰动词。由前文可知“瑜伽生活”是由纳拉亚南创立的,因此填入jointly“联合地”表示哈佛医学院联合赞助,故选G。

8.D current

[快速解题]形容词辨义题。由前文可知,该组织得到了美国继续医学教育认证委员会的认可,因此推断该句是说医生可以通过学习瑜伽来获得学分,以此来保证医生执照的有效性。备选的词汇中,只有current“通用的,流通的”符合语境,故选D。

9.K relatively

[快速解题]副词辨义题。根据空格前的a和空格后的new addition可以判断,此处需要填入一个副词来修饰形容词new。备选的副词中,只有relatively “相对地”符合语境,该句意为“瑜伽疗法在获得认证的课程中属相对较新的课程”,故选K。

10.M specific

[快速解题]形容词辨义题。根据空格前的a和空格后的disease可以判断,此处需要填入一个形容词修饰名词disease。备选的形容词中,只有specific“特定的,具体的”符合语境,treat a specific disease意为“治疗特定的疾病”,故选M。

全文译文

医生将瑜伽纳入医疗实践

拉詹·纳拉亚南不是普通的瑜伽教练。在他的瑜伽课上,他使用大家所熟悉的词汇,避免使用梵文词汇,有时还会穿着西装打着领带来上课。他的大多数学生通常是医生和护士。在周末瑜伽班上,30个学生在橘黄色和绿色的瑜伽垫上舒展着身体,学习瑜伽呼吸法、生活小常识以及各种支持瑜伽健康功效的研究发现。

纳拉亚南练习瑜伽已久,生活中是一位经济学家。他是“瑜伽生活”的创始人之一。该组织是非营利性的,试图教导人们有关这项古老印度运动的益处。但是这个组织的一项主要任务是培训医疗工作者运用瑜伽呼吸法和技巧来治疗各种疾病,旨在将瑜伽疗法融入到主流医疗体系中。他说:“我们需要让医生拓宽视野——瑜伽不仅仅只是一项放松训练。”

自2010年这一组织成立以来,“瑜伽生活”已经培训了145位医生。“瑜伽生活”的课程由哈佛大学医学院赞助,并得到了美国继续医学教育认证委员会的认可。这意味着医生可以通过学习瑜伽来挣学分,以保证医生执照的有效性。四天的瑜伽课会花去医生695美元。

美国继续医学教育认证委员会主席兼首席执行官莫里·科佩罗博士称,瑜伽疗法在获得认证的课程中属相对较新的课程,但已证明它对医生很有帮助。对于纳拉亚南来说,他和医疗保健工作者的工作重心是治疗一种特定的疾病以及为已证实的瑜伽效果找出依据。他说,精神病医生经常观察到效果最显著的瑜伽疗法——有时可以用瑜伽呼吸法代替药物。
