A New Strategy to Overcome Breast Cancer
Post-menopausal（绝经后的）women who walk for an hour a day can cut their chance of breast cancer significantly,a study has suggested.The report,which followed 73,000 women for 17 years,found walking for at least seven hours a week lowered the risk of the disease.The American Cancer Society team said this was the first time reduced risk was specifically linked to walking.UK experts said it was more evidence that lifestyle influenced cancer risk.
A recent poll for the charity Ramblers found a quarter of adults walk for no more than an hour a week, but being active is known to reduce the risk of a number of cancers.This study,,published in Cancer Epidemiology,Biomarkers&Prevention,followed 73,615 women out of 97,785 aged 50-74 who had been recruited by the American Cancer Society between 1992 and 1993,so it could monitor the incidence of cancer in the group.
They were asked to complete questionnaires on their health and on how much time they were active and participating in activities such as walking , swimming and aerobics（有氧运动）and how much time they spent sitting,watching television or reading.They completed the same questionnaires at, two-year intervals between 1997 and 2009.Of the women,47%said walking was their only recreational activity.Those who walked for at least seven hours per week had a 14%lower risk of breast cancer compared to those who walked three or fewer hours per week.
Dr.Alpa Patel,a senior epidemiologist at the American Cancer Society in Atianta Georgia,who led the study,said:"Given that more than 60% of women report some daily walking,promoting walking as a healthy leisure-time activity could be an effective strategy for increasing physical activity amongst post-menopausal women.We were pleased to find that without any other recreational activity,just walking one hour a day was associated with a lower risk of breast cancer in these women." " More strenuous（紧张的） and longer activities lowered the risk even more."
Baroness Delyth Morgan,chief executive of Breast Cancer Campaign,said:"This study adds further evidence that our lifestyle choices can play a part in influencing the risk of breast cancer and even small changes incorporated into our normal day-to-day activity can make a difference."
She added:"We know that the best weapon to overcoming breast cancer is the ability to stop it occurring in the first place.The challenge now is how we turn these findings into action and identify other sustainable lifestyle changes that will help us prevent breast cancer."

All of the following factors relating to cancer risk were mentioned in the passage EXCEPT_______.
A:regular walking
B:breathing exercise
C:recreational activity
D:lifestyle choices

Women have contributed richly to the achievements of science and engineering in the United States.As pointed out by the National Women's History Project,it is unfortunate that many of these accomplishments have been forgotten,ignored,and even hidden as a result of cultural and social norms.In recent years,there have seen great strides in recognizing the contributions of women in all fields of study.The National Women's History Project,founded in 1980,has been one of the organizations to lead the way.It is an educational nonprofit organization whose mission is to recognize and celebrate the diverse and historic achievements of inventive women.Each year,the National Women's History Project selects women to honor them. Sometimes these honorees paved the way as pioneers;other times they built on the knowledge and work of those who came before them. They are women who advanced our medical science,thrilled us with literature,inspired us with their courage and leadership,and moved us with their art.

Which of the following words can be the synonym of"mission"?
A:Contribution.
B:Plan.
C:Work.
D:Purpose.

Iron Deficiencies

Experts have observed for years that endurance athletes,particularly females,frequently have iron deficiencies.Now a new study by a team of Purdue University researchers suggests that even moderate exercise may lead to reduced iron in the blood of women.
"We found that women who were normally inactive and then started a program of moderate exercise showed evidence of iron loss,"says Roseanne M.Lyle,associate professor at Purdue.Her study of 62 formerly inactive women who began exercising three times a week for six months was published in the journal Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise."Women who consumed additional meat or took iron supplements were able to bounce back,"she notes."But the new exercisers who followed their normal diet showed a significant decrease in iron levels."
Iron deficiency is very common among women in general,affecting one in four female teenagers and one in five women aged 18 to 45,respectively.But the ratio is even greater among active women,affecting up to 80 percent of female endurance athletes.This means,Lyle says,that"too many women ignore the amount of iron they take in."
Women of childbearing age are at greatest risk,since their monthly bleeding is a major source of iron loss.Plus,many health-conscious women increase their risk by rejecting red meat,which contains the most easily absorbed form of iron.And because women often restrict their diet in an effort to control weight,they may not consume enough iron-rich food,and are liable to experience a deficiency.
"The average woman takes in only two thirds of the recommended daily allowance of iron," notes another expert."For a woman who already has a poor iron status,any additional iron loss from exercise may be enough to tip her over the edge into a more serious deficiency,"notes the expert. Exercise can result in iron loss through a variety of mechanisms.Some iron is lost in sweat,and,for unknown reasons,intense endurance exercise is sometimes associated with bleeding of the digestive system.
The best sources of iron,and the only sources of the form of iron most readily absorbed by the body,are meat,chicken,and fish.Good sources of other forms of iron include dates,beans,and some leafy green vegetables.

Who will have the least risk of having iron loss?
A:Women of childbearing age.
B:Women who reject red meat.
C:Women who take dates and beans often.
D:Women who control their weight by taking less meat and vegetables.

Many Women Who Beat Cancer Don't Change Habits
Many women who battle breast cancer will tell you it's a life-changing experience. However,a new study shows that for many___1___ ,the changes aren't always positive or permanent.
Beth Snoke has watched her mother and both grandmothers battle and survive breast ___2___.So when she was diagnosed,there was no doubt in her mind ___3___ she had to do.
“I do exactly what the doctors say as far as the medicine that I'm on,as ___4___ as the vitamins,the diet,and the fitness. And I can't stress enough___5___ important that is,”says
Beth Snoke. But a surprising new study shows that___ 6___ every woman who beats breast cancer is getting that message. In fact,nearly 40% of them say even___7___ surviving breast cancer,they haven't made significant changes in the 8 they eat or how much they exer- cise.
“Not all survivors are taking advantage of this teachable moment and making positive health changes in___9___life,”says Electra Paskett,PhD,at Ohio State University's Cornprehensive Cancer Center. Paskett says diet and exercise have been proven to not only help women feel better during and after treatment,they may___10___play a role in preventing some cancers from coming back.___ 11___ growing evidence,some women just aren't listening.
“Colon cancer survivors ___12___ exercise have actually been shown to have improved survival rates.So,yes,it is true that perhaps by making some of these healthy choices we can actually increase their health,”says Paskett.
As a breast cancer survivor ___13___ ,Paskett knows first hand how much difference diet and exercise can___14___.The challenge,she says,is to get more survivors to be more like Beth,during and after treatment.
