I. Read the text below and answer its questions

Public health is the science and art of preventing disease, prolonging life and promoting
healththrough the organized efforts and informed choices of society, organizations, public and
private, communities and individuals. It is concerned with threats to health based on population
health analysis. The population in question can be as small as a handful of people or as large as
all the inhabitants of several continents (for instance, in the case of a pandemic). The dimensions
of health can encompass "a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not
merely the absence of disease or infirmity", as defined by the United Nations' World Health
Organization. Public health incorporates the interdisciplinary approaches of epidemiology,
biostatistics and health services. Environmental health, community health, behavioral health,
health economics, public policy, insurance medicine and occupational health (respectively
occupational medicine) are other important subfields.

The focus of public health intervention is to improve health and quality of life through the
prevention and treatment of disease and other physical and mental health conditions, through
surveillance of cases and the promotion of healthy behaviors. Promotion of hand washing and
breastfeeding, delivery of vaccinations, and distribution of condoms to control the spread of
sexually transmitted diseases are examples of common public health measures.

Modern public health practice requires multidisciplinary teams of professionals including

physicians specializing in public health/community medicine/infectious disease, epidemiologists,
biostatisticians, public health nurses, medical microbiologists, environmental health officers,
dental hygienists, dietitians and nutritionists, health inspectors, veterinarians, public health
engineers, public health lawyers, sociologists, community development workers,
communications officers, and others.

Public health was defined by the American public health leader, Charles-Edward A. Winslow, in
1920 as, "the science and art of preventing disease, prolonging life, and promoting physical
health and efficiency through organized community efforts for the sanitation of the environment,
the control of community infections, the education of the individual in principles of personal
hygiene, the organization of medical and nursing service for the early diagnosis and preventive
treatment of disease, and the development of the social machinery which will ensure to every
individual in the community a standard of living adequate for the maintenance of health."
Although a modern nosologist would add mental to physical aspects of health, Winslow's
definition has not been superseded. It provided the basis for the World Health Organization's
definition of health: "A state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely
the absence of disease or infirmity".

Bioconversion The Poor Man’s Oil

Bioconversion refers to the tapping of the solar energy that has been capture and stored
by nature through photosynthesis. There are numerous methods of doing this, ranging from the
relatively straightforward combustion of wood or dung for cooking food to the more complicated
production of algae to produce methane via anaerobic digestion. There are bioconversion
processes for producing solid fuels (wood and charcoal), liquid fuels (oil and alcohol), gaseous
fuels (methane and hydrogen and electrity)
Fossil fuels were once plants Bioconversion dramatically shortens the time that it takes to
make plants available for energy sources. We would have to wait millions of years if we wanted
coal or oil, but only six months or less if we used the plants directly
There are two primary sources of organic material for conversion into energy products;
organic waste and refuse that has been generated as a by product of human activities (such as
garbage, sewage and livestock waste) and energy crops grown specifically for producing energy.
Much of the solar and chemical energy that went into the production of plants and
manufactured goods still remains in organic waste and refuse when it is ‘disposed’ of as no
longer useful. Reclaiming some of this energy would greatly increase our overall energy use
efficiency, plus reduce the littering of the landscape with garbage dumps or smudging the sky
with incinerator smoke.

1. The suitable title of the passage is

2. The word “promoting” in the text means health promotion is the process of implementing a
range of social and environmental interventions including promoting healthy, behaviours,
creating supportive environments and encouraging healthy public policies, enabling people
to increase control over and improve their health. In other words the health promotion is the
process of enabling people to increase control over the detetminants of health and thereby
improve their health.
For example :
At school, we held health promotion event like washing hands with soap. When we do
health promotion, we usually use some media that can attract attention of childerns and may
make it easier tounderstand the explanation that we have give to them and understand the
purpose of health promotion event that we held. We can also teach directly to the children
how to wash hands with soap is good and right.
