Health experts are calling for action to expand cancer care and control in the developing world.A medical research paper says cancer was once thought of as a

problem mostly in the developed world.But now cancer is a leading cause of death and disability in poor countries.

Experts from Harvard University and other organizations urge the international community to fight cancer aggressively(极力地),saying it should be fought in the way HIV/AIDS has been fought in Africa.

Cancer kills more than 7.5 million people a year worldwide.Almost two-thirds are in low-income and middle-income countries.

They discover cancer kills more people in developing countries than

AIDS,tuberculosis and malaria combined.But the world spends only 5% of its cancer resources in those countries.

Felicia Knaul from the Harvard Medical School was one of the authors of the paper.She was in Mexico when she was found to have breast cancer.She received

treatment there and her experience showed the sharp difference between the rich and the poor in treating breast cancer.

Felicia Knaul said,“And we are seeing how this is attacking young women.It’s the number two cause of death in Mexico for women 30 to 44.All over the developing world,it’s the number one cancer-related death among young women.I think we have to again say that there is much more we could do about it than what we are doing about it.”

Professor Knaul met community health workers during her work in developing countries.They were an important part of efforts to reduce deaths from cervical cancer(宫颈癌).They were able to persuade women to get tested and to get vaccinated against a virus that can cause it.

The experts say cancer care does not have to be costly.For example,patients can be treated with lower-cost drugs that are off-patent,which means the drugs are no longer legally protected against being copied. 1.What do we know from Paragraph 2?

D.patients are differently treated based on finance

3.From Felicia Knaul’s remarks we can see that . A.breast cancer is a great threat to young women B.breast cancer is the number one killer in Mexico

C.effective treatment for cancer is still not available D.cancer is the number one killer in developing countries

4.What role did community health workers play in developing countries? A.They helped community to get rid of a fatal virus. B.They asked women to have medical tests regularly.

C.They convinced women to get tested and vaccinated. D.They managed to provide medical care for patients.

Surveys suggest the Danes are the happiest people in the world,and the reason for this is trust.

From Erasmus University’s World Database of Happiness to a World Values Survey from the University of Michigan in late June,the 5.5 million people of the

Scandinavian state have ranked top in most happiness surveys for the last 20 years.

As economists search for better ways to measure well-being than pure wealth,they say the Danes have a tradition of equality and trust that is not seen in many other places.They are also among the world’s most financially successful people.

However,Denmark’s economy has not escaped the current market problems.Its stock exchange is down around 37 percent so far this year.

Soren Christiansen,32,enjoys relaxing with his girlfriend in their rented apartment in one of Copenhagen’s newly built housing developments.He said trust creates a safer everyday life for him.

“It makes me happy to live in a country where you can walk safely around and you do not have to be afraid,”he said.

Danish diplomat(外交官) Klavs Holm said the Danes are comfortable with simple pleasures like swimming,in the harbor on a summer’s day,which could be thought too risky elsewhere.“I see women riding bikes with their kids on the back,through the rain.They look happy.The Danes are devoted to biking and to fighting global

warming.These values are more important to the Danes than most other people,”he said.

The Danish Island of Samso,where people have achieved self-sufficiency(自足)in renewable power,is one example of the community programs that Denmark has to offer.

“Danish trust is connected with their strong economy,”said Economist Justina Fischer.“If you trust someone in the market you have lower transaction(交

易)costs.You do not even need a contract(合同)because you trust his or her words.” 5.What might be the best title for the text?

A.Denmark—the world’s most financially successful country B.Denmark—a model for solving current market problems C.Trust makes the Danes the happiest in the world D.Their strong economy makes Danes trust each other

6.The example of Soren Christiansen shows that . A.people in Denmark needn’t worry about renting apartments B.he feels safe because Denmark is a trusting society C.Copenhagen’s housing is well developed

D.it’s not safe to walk around in other countries 7.The text tells us that .

A.the best way to measure happiness is by wealth B.the Danish people have enough renewable power

C.the Danish people don’t need to have a contract when they do business D.the Danish tradition of trust contributes to its strong economy Ⅱ.七选五

As we all know,oil is not recyclable and can pollute the environment.It’s necessary to develop cleaner fuels to run America’s cars,trucks and buses.

For more than a century,America has relied almost entirely on a single fuel to move goods and people around the country:oil.Our transportation sector consumes 70% of the oil and produces one-third of our global warming pollution. 1
