　　Researchers(研究者)have announced(宣布)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(心臟病)．

　　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 did not 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．

(1)

[　　]

A．

to treat heart disease

B．

to reduce pain while one suffers from a heart attack

(2)

Aspirin can help those who ________．

[　　]

(3)

At last the researchers advised us to take aspirin ________．

with care

as much as we like

every day

(4)

[　　]

A．

7％

B．

11％

C．

19％

D．

44％

答案：1．D;2．D;3．A;4．B;
解析：

(1)

短文首段的末句“…sharply reduce the chance that a healthy, older man will suffer from a heart attack．”即是本題答案的出處．

(2)

注意“…reduce the chance that a healthy, older man will suffer from a heart attack．”本句中的healthy, older這兩個詞，即可得出答案．

(3)

文章最后一段是說，盡管的這種新用途對病人很有幫助，但患者在使用時必須格外小心，一定要嚴遵醫(yī)囑．

(4)

　　根據(jù)“239 men who did not take aspirin suffered from heart attacks．Twenty-six of them died．”一句中的239和26這兩個數(shù)字即可算出．

　　本文介紹了科學(xué)家對阿斯匹林的研究成果．實驗表明，阿斯匹林可以預(yù)防或削弱老年人患心臟病的危險，但實際的效果和服用者的飲食有一定的關(guān)系．研究人員說，服用可藥品要遵醫(yī)囑．

　　What do Napoleon, Clinton and Wang Nan have in common? They are all left-handed．

　　Today, about 15％of the number of people is left-handed．But why are people left-handed? The answer is the way the brain(大腦)works．The brain has two halves---- the right half controls the left side of the body, and the left controls the right side of the body．So right-handed people have a strong left-brain and left-handed people have a strong right brain．
