The Case of the Disappearing Fingerprints
One useful anti-cancer drug can effectively erase the whorls(萝状指纹)and other characteristic marks that give people their distinctive fingerprints.Losing them could become troublesome.A case【51】______online in a letter by Annals of Oncology indicates how big a【52】______losing finger prints is.
Eng-Huat Tan,a Singapore-based medical doctor describes a 62-year-old man who has used capecitabine(卡培他滨)to【53】______his nasopharyngeal cancer(鼻咽症).After three years on the【54】______,the patient decided to visit his U.S.relatives last December.But he was stopped by U.S. customs officials【55】______4 hours after entering the country when those officials couldn't get finger prints from the man.There were no【56】______swirly(旋涡状的)marks appearing from his index fin ger.
U.S.customs has been fingerprinting incoming foreign visitors for years,Tan says.Unfortunately, for the Singaporean traveler,one potential【57】______effect of his drug treatment is a smoothing of the tissue on the finger pads.【58】______,no fingerprints.
“It is uncertain when fingerprint【59】______will begin to take place in patients who are taking capecitabine,”Tan points out.So he【60】______any physicians who prescribe the drug to provide their patients with a doctor's【61】______pointing Out that their medicine may cause fingerprints to disappear.

When we first met,I fell hard for Christopher right away. although I wouldn't call it love. I'd never been with a man who was prettier than I was,but after a while I got used to this. and it didn't bother me so much. I was recovering from a broken heart and needed something to help me move on. If it wasn't love,it was good enough,and when he asked me to marry him I jumped at the chance. knowing that it might be my last.
Things started out so well. I was working steadily and Christopher was patiently climbing up the ladder in his department. Then,without any warning,one gray winter afternoon in year five,he just upped and left his desk at the bank,handed in his resignation,and came home and told me he wanted to start an interior design business.
He has always loved mixing and matching,and has a real eye for color,texture,and shape,but the idea of turning a hobby into a business wasn't something we had ever discussed. I thought the stress of his job was becoming too much and perhaps he would take a few months off over the spring and summer to relax and get the idea out of his system. I didn't believe he could be serious. But once he had a few clients,he began to draw up plans,ordering catalogues and turning our empty workshop into a kind of makeshift studio with all of his sketches pinned to the wall. After spending a lot of time and money on all of this preparation,and really doing quite a nice job of it,he called each client in turn and apologized,saying he wouldn't be able to design their living spaces after all.
As a financial planner,Christopher______.
A.paid his clients very well
B.was trusted by his clients
C.was making his yoga studio profitable
D.could make his family's budget balanced
