Since 1939, scientific studies have shown that smoking does great harm to one's health and it will shorten one's life.
Cigarette smoking is believed, by most research workers in the field, a very important cause in the development of the cancer of the lungs and the cancer of the throat and is believed to have much to do with some other kinds of cancers. Cigarette smokers suffer from the illness of the heart more often than those who don't smoke. But strange, yet true, women are thought to be less affected, because when women smoke, they usually don't breathe in the smoke so deeply. Most of doctors and researchers say, "Give up smoking. If you don't smoke--don't start!"
Filters (过滤嘴) are required now to make smoking a bit safer, but they can only reduce, not get rid of, its poison.
But there are still a number of doctors and research workers who are less sure of the effect of cigarette smoking on health. They believe that the cancers of the lungs, the throat and so on may also be caused by air pollution, or chemical poison that is now being used by farmers in large quantities to destroy plant pests and small animals.
______each smoke about 4,195 cigarettes a year.
A.Americans
B.American men
C.American women
D.American aged 18 or more

Medicine
Medicine is the science and art of healing.It is a science because it is based on knowledge gained through careful study and experimentation.It is an art because it depends on how skillful-ly doctors and other medical workers apply this knowledge ,when dealing with patients:
The goals of medicine are to save lives, to relieve suffering, and to maintain the digni-ty of ill individuals.For this reason, medicine has long been one of the most respected pro-fessions.Thousands of men and women who work in the.medical profession spend their lives caring for the sick.When disaster strikes, hospital workers rush emergency aid to the injured.When epidemics threaten, doctors and nurses work to prevent the spread of disease.Researchers in the medical profession continually search for better ways of fight-ing disease.
Human beings have suffered from illness since they first appeared on the earth.Throughout most of this time, they knew little about how the human body works or what causes disease.Treatment was based largely on superstition and guesswork.
However, medicine has made tremendous progress in the last several hundred years.Today, it is possible to cure, control, or prevent hundreds of diseases.People live longer than they did in the past as a result of new drugs, machines, and surgical operations; Medical progress in the control of infectious diseases, improvements in health care pro-grams for mothers and children, and better nutrition, sanitation, and living conditions have given people a longer life expectancy.
As medicine has become more scientific, it has also become more complicated.In the past, doctors cared for patients almost single-handedly.Patients received treatment at home for most kinds of illness.Today, doctors no longer work by themselves.Instead, they head medical teams made up of nurses, laboratory workers, and many other skilled professionals.The care provided by such teams cannot generally be started at home.As a result, clinics and hospitals have become the chief centers for medical care in most countries.

Most of us might think a life without pain would be sweet.
Not so for three-year-old Gabby Gingras, who has a rare disorder which means she can not tell when she is hurting herself.
As a baby, she did not cry when given a blood test.
While her teeth were growing, she bit her fingers until they bled and she hurt her tongue.
When a tooth was knocked out, she did not cry—all because she cannot feel physical pain.
Now, she was partly blinded by her habit of putting one finger in her eyes. Her eyes improved only after Mr. Gingras made her wear swimming goggles 24 hours a day. Doctors were confused by her condition so her parents set about finding out for themselves.
Mother Trish gave up her job and finally found the answer on the Net. Gabby had a disorder that could not be cured.
The family visited another sufferer—one of only 25 in the US—but admitted:" It's discouraging".
They discovered the 24-year-old girl of South Dakota was in a wheelchair after losing both legs to infections. As a girl, she was unaware when she was hurting her legs.
The three-year-old girl is suffering from a rare illness that ______.
A.she has never cried since she was a baby
B.she is made half blind by the strange illness
C.she often chews her own tongue
D.she is unable to feel pain physically
Since the injury is bad, the doctors will operate him immediately.
