　?、?閱讀填空(每空不超過三個單詞)

　　Dysphagia(吞咽困難) means difficulty in swallowing food items and these food items may be solid and liquid in nature. People suffer from dysphagia when there is a problem with the muscles which play a very important part in the swallowing of the food. It can be a weak tongue or facial muscles which make it hard to move the food in the mouth. In some instances people having weak throat muscles also suffer from dysphagia.

　　There is no need to worry if the patient has been diagnosed with dysphagia, as there are lots of ways to deal with the problem. To deal with dysphagia, first of all, don't miss your doctor's appointments as medical treatment is the sure way of achieving success in this case. In many cases patients might be advised to consult a specialist for a second opinion or for better treatment. A qualified doctor can assist the patient in picking up the right kind of food.

　　Having an erect posture (直立姿勢) while eating is also very important. Sitting upright with shoulders in level and back straight up is considered a healthy posture while eating. Avoid leaning forward to taste the food. Smell the food before taking a bite as this will encourage the production of saliva(唾液) which facilitates the passage of the food down the throat and into the esophagus(食道)．

　　In addition, people suffering from dysphagia just can not eat anything that they want. They should avoid eating hard foods, dried meats and foods which have to be broken apart for eating. Food has to be eaten very slowly and should be consumed by taking small portions.

　　People having problems with swallowing their food are advised to control their food habits for a little while. These people can also take the guidance of an experienced dietitian to make their daily diet better.
