Sixty-three percent of American women think that if there's no family history of cancer, you're not likely to develop the disease, a new survey found.
In fact, most people who develop cancer have no family history of cancer, according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists ( ACOG ) ( 美国妇产科医师学会 ),which sponsored the survey.
"Too many women are dying from cancer," Dr. Douglas W. Laube, ACOG's immediate past president, said during a Friday teleconference. "An estimated 200, 070women will die in the U. S. this year, and over 600, 078 women will be diagnosed with cancer. The results of this survey found a worrisome ( 令人担忧的 ) gap in women's knowledge about cancer. "
Based on the findings, ACOG is increasing its efforts to educate women about cancer and the need for regular screening tests.
Although the survey found many misconceptions ( 错误观念 ) about cancer, 76 percent of women surveyed did say they feel knowledgeable about how they can reduce their risk of the disease.
However, only 52 percent said they were doing enough to reduce that risk. And 10 percent said they hadn't done anything in the past year to lower their risk. Seventeen percent said they wouldn't change their lifestyles, even if changes would lower their cancer risk.
Many women said they were afraid to undergo screening out of fear of finding cancer. Twenty percent said they didn't want to know if they had cancer.
In response to these findings, ACOG will launch on Oct. 29 a new website— Protect & Detect: What Women Should Know about Cancer. The guide is designed to help women to take charge of their health and improve their understanding of their risk of cancer —and the lifestyle steps they can take to cut that risk.

Many American women have a poor knowledge of cancer.
A．Right
B．Wrong
C．Not mentioned
17、People with no family history of cancer are unlikely to develop cancer.
A．Right
B．Wrong
C．Not mentioned
18、More women are dying from cancer than men in America .
A．Right
B．Wrong
C．Not mentioned
19、Most American women know too little about how to lower their cancer risk.
A．Right
B．Wrong
C．Not mentioned
20、Some American women are just unwilling to change their lifestyles.
A．Right
B．Wrong
C．Not mentioned
21、Some American Women are too afraid of finding cancer to undergo screening.
A．Right
B．Wrong
C．Not mentioned
22、ACOG's efforts to educate women about cancer will be greatly appreciated.
A．Right

1. Amongst the most popular books being written today are those which are usually classified as science fiction. Hundreds of titles are published every year and are read by all kinds of people. Furthermore, some of the most successful films of recent years have been based on science fiction stories.
2. It is often thought that science fiction is a fairly new development in literature, but its ancestors can be found in books written hundreds of years ago. These books were often concerned with the presentation of some form of ideal society, a theme which is still often found in modem stories.
3. Most of the classics of science fiction, however, have been written within the last hundred years. Books by writers such as Jules Veme and H. G Wells, to mention just two well-known authors have been translated into many languages.
4. Modem science fiction writers don't write about men from Mars ( 火星 ) or space adventure stories. They are more interested in predicting the results of technical developments on society and the human mind; or in imagining future worlds which are a reflection of the world which we live in now. Because of this, their writing has obvious political undertones( 含义 ).
5. In an age where science fact frequently overtakes ( 超过 ) science fiction, the writers may find it difficult to keep ahead of scientific advances. Those who are sufficiently clear-sighted to see the way we are going, however, may provide a valuable lesson on how to deal with the problems which society will inevitably face as it tries to master its new technology.

Britons are increasingly entertaining guests at home with dinner, film and karaoke nights, inspired by television shows on cookery and home entertainment, according to a survey.
More than half (53 percent) of the respondents to a poll of 1,000 Britons across the country said they now prefer to spend quality time with family and friends by inviting them over to their homes rather than meeting in bars and restaurants, the survey by mobile phone operator T-Mobile showed.
Popular television shows such as "Come Dine With Me", where amateur chefs attempt to show each other with their cooking skills, "Master Chef" where ordinary people compete to cook to Michelin standards and a number of celebrity cookery shows have inspired Britons to entertain at home.
The poll showed that nearly a third of respondents had splashed out cash for home entertainment improvements such as sofas, dining tables, games consoles and bigger televisions to impress the guests.
"Over the last couple of years, my clients have increasingly asked for home parties rather than ones at independent venues," party planning expert Liz Brewer said in a statement accompanying the poll's results.
"This is not only due to the recession but because many have become increasingly house-proud and keen to show off their cooking skills, in addition to their latest home entertainment purchases. "
Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver was the top choice for dream host of respondents, while Prime Minister Gordon Brown was one of the least favored, alongside his rival Conservative leader David Cameron.

Americans, too, believe that the country gives no end of chances to those who want to open their own businesses in this amazing place. Today, many Americans are still trying hard to become small business people, although only one out of two remains in operation after the first two years.
Many people start their small businesses for the wrong reasons. They want to get away from the paper work of their present jobs or to exchange the responsibility of their present jobs for free life styles. But more, not less, paper work and responsibility come with ownership of a small business.

When he finally opened with a capital of $1,500, he set up his office in the kitchen and his printing press in the garage, Owing to his devotion to business, his talent, and his skill in management, Mother Earth now has a circulation of 300, 000.

41、回答41-46题
I'm usually fairly skeptical about any research that concludes that people are either happier or unhappier or more or less certain of themselves than they were 50 years ago. While any of these statements might be true, they are practically impossible to prove scientifically. Still, I was struck by a report which concluded that today's children are significantly more anxious than children in the 1950s. In fact, the analysis showed, normal children ages 9 to 17 exhibit a higher level of anxiety today than children who were treated for mental illness 50 years ago.
Why are America 's kids so stressed? The report cites two main causes: increasing physical isolation - brought on by high divorce rates and less involvement in community, among other things - and a growing perception that the world is a more dangerous place.
Given that we can't turn the clock back, adults can still do plenty to help the next generation cope.
At the top of the list is nurturing a better appreciation of the limits of individualism. No child is an island. Strengthening social ties helps build communities and protect individuals against stress.
To help kids build stronger connections with others, you can pull the plug on TVs and computers. Your family will thank you later. They will have more time for face-to-face relationships, and they will get more sleep.
Limit the amount of virtual violence your children are exposed to. It's not just video games and movies; children see a lot of murder and crime on the local news.
Keep your expectations for your children reasonable. Many highly successful people never attended Harvard or Yale.
Make exercise part of your daily routine. It will help you cope with your own anxieties and provide a good model for your kids. Sometimes anxiety is unavoidable. But it doesn't have to rain your life.

The author thinks that the conclusions of any research about people's state of mind are
A．surprising
B．confusing
C．illogical
D．questionable

42、 What does the author mean when he says, "we can't turn the clock back"?
A．It's impossible to slow down the pace of change.
B．The social reality children are facing cannot be changed.
C．Lessons learned from the past should not be forgotten.
D．It's impossible to forget the past.

43、 According to an analysis, compared with normal children today, children treated as mentally ill 50 years ago
A．were less isolated physically
B．were probably less self-centered
C．probably suffered less from anxiety
D．were considered less individualistic

44、 The first and most important thing parents should do to help their children is
A．to provide them with a safer environment
B．to lower their expectations for them
C．to get them more involved socially
D．to set a good model for them to follow

45、 What conclusion can be drawn from the passage?
A．Anxiety, though unavoidable, can be coped with.
B．Children's anxiety has been enormously exaggerated.
C．Children's anxiety can be eliminated with more parental care.
D．Anxiety, if properly controlled, may help children become mature.[page]
