In my 40s, I received a call from my father. He’d been _________ an old shelf and accidentally discovered _________ from a great-great-uncle, Charles Kelley. They dated to 1922, when Charles was told that he had got Type 1 diabetes (糖尿病). At that time, the diagnosis was a deadly _________.

Somehow my uncle, an insurance man from Huron, South Dakota, made his way to the Mayo Hospital in Minnesota, where doctors were _________ a new drug. Charles was accepted as one of the guinea pigs. He noted down that each day’s injection (注射) cost him a small fortune, though luckily he could _________ it.

Undoubtedly, this family _________ was helpful to me.

One day when I was in my 20s, I returned home from college, _________, so I went to see my doctor. He called the next day to _________ me that I had Type 1 diabetes. It was a big __________, totally out of the blue. There was no known history of diabetes in my family.

For 20 years, I __________ my insulin and took care of myself, but still I felt orphaned because of my illness. I couldn’t explain why I had such kind of illness, the only one in my family.

【推荐1】The announcement came the day before Thanksgiving, but there was nothing in it to be _________ for: An experimental Alzheimer’s (老年痴呆症) drug many thought would slow the disease’s steady cognitive decline had failed to make a _________ difference in a massive trial of people with early signs of the illness.

Marty Reiswig took the news _________ .“I was just sad,” he says. “I was really hopeful that it would be life-changing for us.” He doesn’t have Alzheimer’s disease, but he is part of a large _________ family that’s been bothered by Alzheimer’s for generations. His family has a genetic mutation (变异) that means its carriers will develop Alzheimer’s at a much _________ age, usually 30 years earlier than those without the mutation. But there’s also a chance his monthly infusions (输液) include a drug that could _________ him, his family members and others like them from losing loved ones to Alzheimer’s.

The key is early interference, before symptoms are _________ and brain damage is too extensive. “That’s how you stop the disease,” says Rudy Tanzi, director of the Genetics and Aging Research Unit at Massachusetts General Hospital. “You don’t wait.” The attempt to prevent Alzheimer’s rather than treating it is the most exciting new development in decades. Traditionally, drug companies have _________ their therapies on patients who already have memory loss, trouble thinking and other signs of dementia (痴呆). It’s been a _________method. More than 99 percent of all Alzheimer’s drugs have failed tests in the clinic, and the few that have made it to the market only improve some __________. Not a single medicine has been shown to slow the continuous progression of the disease.

__________, with this new approach, even partial success — an appreciable slowing of brain degeneration — could have a big impact, says Dr. Reisa Sperling, who directs the Center for Alzheimer’s Research and Treatment at Boston’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital. If a drug therapy can __________ the attack of dementia by five or ten years, she says, “many more people would die of ballroom dancing __________ in nursing homes.”

Developing drugs to prevent Alzheimer’s disease could be a discovery of Nobel proportions. There is no __________ that the current trials will succeed, but researchers believe they are getting close to __________ what had, until recently, seemed to be one of medical research’s toughest challenges.
