New Preventative Drug Would Kill People Before They Get Alzheimer's

Calling it the single greatest breakthrough to date in Alzheimer's research, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced Monday the approval of Proneva, a new medication that prevents the degenerative brain disorder by killing individuals before its onset. "Clinical trials have shown that a single dose of Proneva can end the lives of patients who otherwise would have developed a serious and life-threatening illness," said FDA spokeswoman Sandy Walsh, explaining that in a recent study Proneva successfully prevented Alzheimer's in 87 of 87 people who were administered the drug. "For the millions of Americans who already suffer from this disease or have shown early signs of dementia, we recommend commencing treatment as soon as possible." According to Walsh, preliminary research also suggests Proneva may be equally effective at preventing cancer, AIDS, and heart attacks

我把文章先分成几个大chunks
1到10，11到13，14到16
% N3 \! B  K7 ^+ h其中1到10又分出两个小chunks：1到4，5到10
然后继续分，找到每个chunk最重要的一句话，就是nucleus
8 ^8 ?; ]/ Y- F; |7 O  p3 i大chunk之间要分析关系，每个句子之间也要分析关系。
! R6 A, b% m# n* g/ Tmm觉得1到4哪句话最关键？这几个大分组间什么关系？

conkydlcmacro

这样细啊？半句也当一句？你学什么专业的？不真不知道能提供什么样的帮助。

$ ~- A3 T$ o' `8 K& ~2 P3 i0－4 是文章主旨（3 是Nucleus）； 5－13 是展开（67是nucleus），14－16是展望（16是nueclues）。
其中5－13又可分为5－10，证据，11－13，应用。
