A daily pill was found to increase the chance of surviving cancer by 20 percent. Scientists at Cardiff University made the discovery after analysing a wealth of available date from studies of some cancers. They found that patients who took lowdose aspirin in addition to their usual treatment reduced their likelihood of dying, or the cancer spreading, by one fifth over five years. “There is a growing body of evidence that taking aspirin is of significant benefit in reducing some cancers,” said Professor Peter Elwood, from the University of Cardiff, who led the research. “while we know a low dose of aspirin has been shown to reduce the possibility of catching cancer, its role in the treatment of cancer remains uncertain. As a result, we set out to conduct a search of all the scientific literature.” The team collected date from five trials and 42 studies. Although a known risk associated with taking aspirin regularly is bleeding in the gut(腸子 ), the researchers found no evidence of this being serious or lifethreatening. Researchers say the study highlights the need for trials to show if aspirin should be remended alongside current cancer treatments. Professor Elwood added: “ While there is a desperate need for more detailed research to prove our review and to obtain evidence on less mon cancers,we?d urge patients diagnosed with cancer to speak to their doctor about our findings so they can make an informed decision as to whether or not they should take a low dose of aspirin as part of their cancer treatment.” Baroness Delyth Man, Chief Executive at Breast Cancer Now, said: “This study adds significant weight to the idea that a drug as simple and cheap as aspirin could help treat breast and other cancers. “ Clinical trials are going on to confirm whether aspirin could be added to routine treatments for breast cancer. Further research is needed to understand exactly which patients would benefit from aspirin and enable us to direct it to the most appropriate individuals.” can happen if patients take aspirin regularly? can stop cancers spreading. can cause bleeding in the gut. can strengthen their immune system. can increase the risk of cancer. purpose of the study is to________. that aspirin can reduce the incidence of cancer the potential risks and benefits of taking aspirin out which patients should take aspirin whether aspirin could be added to cancer treatments. does the underlined word in the fifth paragraph probably mean? . . . . of the following is NOT true, according to the passage? scientists made the discovery by analysing a mass of data. scientists have confirmed aspirin could help treat breast and other cancers. scientists have found aspirin can be used to assist in cancer treatment. scientists have to do further research into aspirin. 第二節(jié)(共 5 小題;每小題 2 分,滿分 10 分) Things You Should Stop Doing to Be Successful Are you a happy person?How often do you think about reasons why everyone around you is successful though they are not better than you in general?
