Researchers have announced the result of two studies on the health effects of the drug aspirin(阿斯匹林). One study shows aspirin can sharply reduce the chance that a healthy, older man will suffer from a heart attack.
The study offered two new results from earlier findings. It said taking one aspirin pill every other day helped only healthy men over the age of fifty. It also said aspirin gave the greatest protection against heart attacks to men with low blood cholesterol(膽固醇) levels.
Earlier in the United States began a major aspirin study in the early 1980s. it included 22,000 healthy men doctors. All were between the ages of forty and eighty-four. More than 11,000 of the doctors took a harmless pill that contained no drug. The men did not know which kind of pill they were taking.
The doctors who took aspirin suffered 44% fewer heart attacks than those taking the harmless pill. 139 men who took aspirin suffered from heart attacks. Ten of them died. 239 men who didn’t take aspirin suffered from heart attacks. Twenty-six of them died.
The researchers said the doctors’ study provides clear proof that taking aspirin can prevent a first heart attack in healthy, older men. They said ,however, the result does not mean every man over the age of fifty should take aspirin. They said aspirin couldn’t help men who do not eat healthy foods, who smoke cigarettes and who are fat. The researchers said men who think they would be helped by taking aspirin should talk with their doctors first.
小題1: The passage tells us that the new use of aspirin is___________.
A．to treat heart disease.
B．to reduce pain while one suffers from a heart attack.
C．to help old people to be more healthy.
D．to reduce the chance of a heart attack in old men.
小題2:Aspirin can help those who___________.
A．work as doctorsB．a(chǎn)re under 40 years old
C．a(chǎn)re fat and smoke cigarettesD．a(chǎn)re older and healthy
小題3:From the experiment we can conclude that about _________ of people who suffered from heart attacks without aspirin died.
A．7%B．11%
C．19%D．44%
DD  B

小題1:根據(jù)第一段One study shows aspirin can sharply reduce the chance that a healthy, older man will suffer from a heart attack.描述,可知選D
小題2:根據(jù)第二段It said taking one aspirin pill every other day helped only healthy men over the age of fifty. 描述,可知選D

Have you ever seen snow? Many people in the world have not. Some countries never have snow; some have only a little on the tops of very high mountains. In the north of England, there is quite a lot of snow every winter, but in the south of England, there is usually little.
