    Most Adults in U. S. Have Low Risk of Heart Disease

    More than 80 percent of US adults have a less than l O-percent risk of developing heart disease in the next 10 years, according to a report in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. Just 3 percent have a risk that exceeds 20 percent.

    “I hope that these numbers will give physicians, researchers, health policy analysts, and others a better idea of how coronary heart disease is distributed in the US population.” lead author Dr. Earl S. Ford, from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, said in a statement.

    The findings are based on analysis of data from 13, 769 subjects, between 20 and 79 years of age, who participated in the 1nbjrd National Health and Nutrition Exanimation Survey from 1988 to 1994.

    Overall, 82 percent of adults had a risk of less than 10 percent, 15 percent had a risk that fell between 1 0 to 20 percent. and 3 percent had a risk above 20 percent.

    The proportion of subjects in the highest risk group increased with advancing age, and men were more likely than women to be in this group. By contrast, race or ethnicity had little effect on risk distributions.

    Although the report suggests that most adults have a low 10一year risk of heart disease, a large proportion have a high or immediate risk, Dr. Daniel S. Berman, from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, and Dr. Nathan D. Wong, from the University of California at Irvine, note in a related editorial.

    Aggressive treatment measures and public health strategies are needed to shift the overall population risk downward, they add.

    Many Benefits from Cancer Organization

    1.Do you know a child who survived leukemia? Do you have a mother, sister or aunt whose breast cancer was found early thanks to a mammogram? Do you have a friend or coworker who quit smoking to reduce their risk of lung cancer? Each of these individuals benefited from the American Cancer Society‘s research program.

    2.Each day scientists supported by the American Cancer Society work to find breakthroughs that will take US one step closer to a cure. The American Cancer Society has long recognized that research holds the ultimate answers to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer.

    3.As the largest source of nonprofit cancer research funds in the United States, the American Cancer Society devotes over$100 million each year to research. Since 1946, they‘ve invested more than$2.4 billion in research. The investment has paid rich dividends. In 1946, only one in four cancer patients was alive five years after diagnosis; today 60 percent live longer than five years.

    4. Investigators and health professionals in universities, research institutes and hospitals throughout the country receive grants from the American Cancer Society. Of the more than 1,300 new applications received each year, only 11 percent can be funded. If the American Cancer Society had more money available for research funding, nearly 200 more applications considered outstanding could be funded each year?

    5.You can help fund more of these applications by participating in the American Cancer Society Relay for Life, a team event to fight cancer.

    第1篇

    A Miracle Cancer cure

    Unless you have gone through the experience yourself, or watched a loved one‘s struggle, you really have no idea just how desperate cancer can make you. You pray, you rage, you bargain with God, but most of all you clutch at any hope, no matter how remote, of a second chance at life.

    For a few excited days last week, however, it seemed as if the whole world was a cancer patient and that all humankind had been granted a reprieve. Triggered by a front-page medical news story in the usually reserved New York Times, all anybody was talking about – on the radio, on television, on the Internet, in phone calls to friends and relatives – was the report that a combination of two new drugs could, as the Times put it, cure cancer in two years.

    In a matter of hours patients had jammed their doctors‘ phone lines begging for a chance to test the miracle cancer cure. Cancer scientists raced to the phones and fax lines to make sure everyone knew about their research too, generating a new round of headlines.

    The time certainly seemed ripe for a breakthrough in cancer. Only last month scientists at the National Cancer Institute announced that they were halting a clinical trial of a drug called tamoxifen – and offering it to patients getting the placebo – because it had proved so effective at preventing breast cancer (although it also seemed to increase the risk of uterine cancer). Two weeks later came the New York Times‘ report that two new drugs can shrink tumors of every variety without any side effects whatsoever.

    It all seemed too good to be true, and of course it was. There are no miracle cancer drugs, at least not yet. At this stage all the drug manufacturer can offer is some very interesting molecules, and the only cancers they have cures so far have been in mice. By the middle of last week, even the most breathless TV talk-show hosts had learned what every scientist already knew: that curing a disease in lab animals is not the same as doing it in humans. “The history of cancer research has been a history of curing cancers in the mouse,” Dr. Richard Klausner, head of the National Cancer Institute, told the Los Angles Times. “We have cured mice of cancer for decades – and it simply didn‘t work in people.”

    1.The first paragraph describes people‘s ___ after they know they or their loved ones have cancer.

    A. complex feelings

    B. desire to live long

    C. hatred of God

    D. love of their family

    2. What caused all the people to talk about cancer?

    A. New York Times published a medical news story

    B. Radio broadcast a medical news story

    C. TV showed a film about cancer

    D. The Internet had a story about cancer

    3. According to the New York Times report, the two drugs can ___.

    A. cure all kinds of tumors but with side effects

    B. cure all kinds of tumors without side effects

    C. shrink all kinds of tumors but with side effects

    D. shrink all kinds of tumors without side effects

    4. What is the meaning of the statement “It all seemed too good to be true, and of course it was.”?

    A. The news seemed very good and real and it was good.

    B. The news seemed very good, but not so real, and it was false.

    C. The news seemed not good, but real, and it was not good.

    D. The news seemed not good, but real, and it was not good.

    5. What can the new drugs really do?

    A. it can cure all cancers

    B. it can cure nothing

    C. it can only cure cancer in mice

    D. it can cure cancer in all animals

    Ulcers

    Even though ulcers appear to run in families, lifestyle plays more of a role than genetic factors in causing the illness, according to a report in the April 13th Journal of Internal Medicine.

    In particular, smoking and stress in men and the regular use of pain releasing medicines in women were linked with an increased risk of developing all ulcer.

    Overall, 61％of ulcer risk appears to be due to environmental factors, such as smoking, and the remaining 39％is due to genes according to Dr. Ismo Raiha of the University of Turky and colleagues at the University of Helsinki, Finland. Some researchers had suggested that families may spread Helicobacteria pylori, the bacteria that can cause ulcers. However, the new study suggests this is unlikely, according to the report.

    Raiha and colleagues studied data from more than 1 3, 000 pairs of twins “to examine the roles of genetic and environmental factors in the origin of peptic ulcer disease.” they explain. Both twins were more likely to develop an ulcer if the pair were genetically the same as compared with a par of fraternal twins, suggesting that there must be some genetic susceptibility to ulcer development.

    However, the risk was no greater in twins living together compared with twins living apart, suggesting that shared exposure to H. pylori was not to blame. “Environmental effects were not due to factors shared by family members, and they were related to smoking and stress in men and the Use of analgesics in women,” the authors wrote. “The minor effects of shared environment to disease liability do not support the concept that the grouping of risk factors, such as H. pylori infection, would explain the genetic factor of peptic ulcer disease,” they concluded.

    ulcer／n. 溃疡

    lifestyle／n. 生活方式

    Losing Weight

    Girls as young as 1 0 years old are dieting and in danger of developing unhealthy attitudes about weight, body image and food, a group of Toronto researchers reported Tuesday.

    Their study of 2,279 girls aged 10 to 14 showed that while the vast majority had healthy weights, nearly a third felt they were overweight and were trying to lose pounds. Even at the tender age of 10, nearly 32 per cent of girls felt “too fat” and 31 per cent said they were trying to diet. McVey, a researcher at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, and her colleagues analyzed data collected in a number of surveys of southern Ontario school girls between 1 993 and 2003, reporting their findings in Tuesday‘s issue of the Canadian Medical Association Journal.

    Nearly 80 per cent of the girls had a healthy body weight and only 7. 2 per cent were considered overweight using standard weight-to height ratios. Most researchers suggest the rate of overweight children in this country is several times higher than that figure.

    Nearly 30 per cent of the girls reported they were currently trying to lose weight, though few admitted to dangerous behavior such as self-induced vomiting.

    Still, a test that measured attitudes towards eating showed 10. 5 per cent of survey

    Participants were already at risk of developing an eating disorder.

    “We‘re not talking about kids who’ve been prescribed a diet because they‘re above average weight or overweight. We’re talking about children who are within a healthy weight range. And they have taken it upon themselves to diet to lose weight,” McVey said, acknowledging she found the rates disturbing. She said striking a balance between healthy weights and healthy attitudes towards food and body image is a complex task, with no easy solutions.

    词汇：

    overweight adj. 超重的；过重的

    induce vt. 引起, 导致

    prescribe vt. 处方；开药；嘱咐

    1. The study showed that most of the girls

    A)were overweight.

    B) were on a diet.

    C)had unhealthy attitudes about weight

    D)had a healthy body weight.

    2. What percentage of the girls considered themselves overweight?

    A)Nearly 80 percent.

    B)7. 2 percent.

    C)Nearly 30percent.

    D)10. 5 percent.

    3. The survey participants were girls

    A)who were 10.

    B)who were 14.

    C)who were 10 to 14.

    D)who were 10 to 18.

    4.What kind of institution does the lead researcher work with?

    A)A schoo1.

    B)A hospital.

    C)An association.

    D)A charity.

    5.Unhealthy attitudes about weight, body image and food may

    A)lead to an eating disorder.

    B)result from self-induced vomiting.

    C)make it easier to gain weight.

    D)bring about greater competition.

    E If worries have altered your appetite or weight, it will help to talk to someone about it.

    F The women were asked about factors ranging from childhood experiences to current exercise habits.
