Our listener question this week comes from Abdullahi Farah, who wants to know about the life and work of Doctor Benjamin Carson.
Doctor Carson is an internationally recognized doctor at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. He has been the director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at the hospital for twenty-five years. At the age of thirty-three, he became one of the youngest doctors in the United States to hold that position. And he was the first African-American to have that position at Johns Hopkins Hospital.
Ben Carson is known for his work as a brain surgeon for children. For example, in nineteen eighty-seven, he led a team of seventy doctors and nurses in an operation to separate two babies joined at the head. Earlier attempts by other surgeons on other babies had failed. Doctor Carson successfully performed the operation. Both babies were able to survive independently.
Doctor Carson has written four books. His first book, "Gifted Hands," tells the story of his life. Benjamin Carson was born in nineteen fifty-one in Detroit, Michigan.
As a boy, Ben was not a good student. In fact, he was the worst in his class. When his mother learned of his failing grades she asked her sons to read two library books every week. She limited the amount of time they watched television. And she told them to respect every person.
Ben Carson soon became the top student in his class. He went on to study at Yale University, one of the best universities in the country, and later to medical school at the University of Michigan.
Doctor Carson has received many awards and honors. Last year he received the nation's highest civilian honor. Former President George W. Bush presented Benjamin Carson with the Presidential Medal of Freedom at a ceremony at the White House.

Each new school year brings fresh reminders of what educators call the summer learning gap. Some call it the summer learning setback. Simply speaking, it means the longer kids are out of school, the more they forget. The only thing they might gain is weight.
Most American schools follow a traditional nine-month calendar. Students get winter and spring breaks and about ten weeks of summer vacation. Some schools follow a year-round calendar. They hold classes for about eight weeks at a time, with a few weeks off in between. The National Association for Year-Round Education says there were fewer than three thousand such schools at last count. They were spread among forty-six of the fifty states.
But many experts point out that the number of class days in a year-round school is generally the same as in a traditional school. Lead researcher Paul von Hippel said, "Year-round schools don't really solve the problem of the summer learning setback. They simply spread it out across the year."
Across the country, research shows that students from poor families fall farther behind over the summer than other students. Experts say this can be prevented. They note that many schools and local governments offer programs that can help.
But calling them "summer school" could be a problem. The director of the summer learning center at Johns Hopkins, Ron Fairchild, said research with groups of different parents in Chicago and Baltimore found that almost all strongly disliked the term summer school”. In American culture, the idea of summer vacation is connected to beliefs about freedom and the joys of childhood. The parents welcomed other terms like "summer camp," "enrichment," "extra time" and "hands-on learning."

The crisis at the damaged Fukushima Dai-Ichi Nuclear Power Station in northern Japan has raised worries about radiation risks. We spoke Tuesday with Jonathan Links, an expert in radiation health sciences. He is a professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Maryland.
Professor Links says workers within the nuclear plant are the only people at risk of extremely high doses of radiation.
JONATHAN LINKS: "Of course, we don't know what doses they've received, but the only persons at risk of acute radiation effects are the workers."
For other people, he says, there may be a long-term worry. People can get cancer from low doses of ionizing radiation, the kind released in a nuclear accident.
Professor Links says scientists can use computers to quickly model where radioactive material has blown and settled. Then they measure how large an area is contaminated. He says if the situation is serious enough, officials could take steps like telling people not to eat locally grown food or drink the water.
JONATHAN LINKS: "But that would only be the case if there was a significant release and, because of wind direction, the radioactive material was blown over the area, and then settled out of the air into and onto water, plants, fruits and vegetables."
The reactors at Fukushima are on the Pacific coast. But Professor Links says people should not worry about any radioactive material leaking into the ocean.
JONATHAN LINKS: "Even in a worst-case scenario accident, the sea provides a very high degree of dilution. So the concentration of radioactivity in the seawater would still be quite low."
Japan is the only country to have had atomic bombs dropped on it. That memory from World War Two would create a stronger "psychological sensitivity" to radiation exposure, Professors Links says.
Next month is the twenty-fifth anniversary of the explosion and fire that destroyed a reactor at Chernobyl in Ukraine. The nineteen eighty-six event was the world's worst accident in the nuclear power industry.
A new United Nations report says more than six thousand cases of thyroid cancer have been found. These are in people who were children in affected areas of Belarus, Russia and Ukraine. The report says that by two thousand five the cancers had resulted in fifteen deaths.
The cancers were largely caused by drinking contaminated milk. The milk came from cows that ate grass where radioactive material had fallen.

A lot of
grown-ups worry that spending too much time playing video games isn’t good for
a kid’s health. Now some doctors have noticed that kids who bring their
hand-held game players to the hospital seem less worried about being there.
These patients also seem to experience less pain when they are concentrating on
a superhero adventure or a car race. At the Johns Hopkins Children’s Center in
Maryland, young patients are finding hospital visits easier to deal with,
thanks to a test program called the Hospital-based On-line Pediatric
Environment (HOPE). Patients in HOPE have a life-threatening condition where
their kidneys(肾脏)no longer filter(过滤)wastes from their
blood. To get their blood cleaned, these kids must be hooked up to dialysis(透析) machines at the hospital three times a week, for at least three
hours each time. HOPE allows kids to play online sports, racing, and adventure
games with each other. Eventually they will be able to connect with kids in
other hospitals who are suffering from the same problem. "We want to use
the power of the Internet to bring together kids who feel that they are
separated by their illness, and let them know that they are not alone,"
said Arun Mathews, the doctor who heads the program. He loves video games
himself and got the idea to connect kids all over the country. Many researchers
elsewhere are testing video game programs that might help young patients. For
example, nine-year-old Ben Duskin of San Francisco, who was struggling with
cancer helped to design a video game where players get rid of cancer cells.
That’s all great news, because doctors already know that reducing pain and
worry helps patients heal faster.
1.What’s the main idea of the passage?
|
A．Playing video games too much is bad for kids’health. |
B．Playing video games seems to be beneficial to young patients’ recovery. |
C．Doctors find that reducing pain helps patients recover faster. |
D．Doctors invent a game to help kids in hospitals. |
2.How long
will it take a patient to get his blood cleaned in a week?
|
A．About 3 hours. |
B．About 6 hours. |
C．About 9 hours. |
D．About 21 hours. |
3.According
to Arun Mathews, the main purpose of HOPE is to _________.
|
A．encourage kids to play online games |
B．teach kids how to design video games |
C．help kids who are suffering from illness connect with each other |
D．make parents worry less about their kids playing video games too much |
4.Which of
the following plays the most important role in the HOPE project?
|
A．Music. |
B．The Internet. |
C．Novels. |
D．Films. |
5.What can
we learn from the passage?
|
A．Nine-year-old Ben Duskin, who has a cancer, is very brave and clever. |
B．Many parents want their children to play video games because it’s good for their health. |
C．Doctors are not sure whether reducing pain and worry can help the patients recover faster. |
D．HOPE allows kids to play online games only with the kids in the same hospital. |
