A New Strategy to Overcome Breast Cancer
Post-menopausal（绝经后的）women who walk for an hour a day can cut their chance of breast cancer significantly,a study has suggested.The report,which followed 73,000 women for 17 years,found walking for at least seven hours a week lowered the risk of the disease.The American Cancer Society team said this was the first time reduced risk was specifically linked to walking.UK experts said it was more evidence that lifestyle influenced cancer risk?
A recent poll for the charity Ramblers found a quarter of adults walk for no more than an hour a week,but being active is known to reduce the risk of a number of cancers.This study,published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers&Prevention,followed 73,615 women out of 97,785 aged 50-74 who had been recruited by the American Cancer Society between 1992 and 1993,so it could monitor the incidence of cancer in the group.
They were asked to complete questionnaires on their health and on how much time they were active and participating in activities such as walking, swimming and aerobics（有氧运动）and how much time they spent sitting watching television or reading.They completed the same questionnaires at two-year intervals between 1997 and 2009.Of the women,47%said walking was their only recreational activity.Those who walked for at least seven hours per week had a 14% lower risk of breast cancer compared to those who walked three or fewer hours per week.
Dr.Alpa Pate1,a senior epidemiologist at the American Cancer society in Atlanta,Georgia,who led the study,said,"Given that more than 60% of women report some daily walking,promoting walking as a healthy leisure-time activity,could be an effective strategy for increasing physical activity amongst post-menopausal women.We were pleased to find that without any other recreational activity,just walking one hour a day was associated with a lower risk of breast cancer in these women." " More strenuous（紧张的）and longer activities lowered the risk even more."
Baroness Delyth Morgan,chief executive of Breast Cancer Campaign,said,"This study adds further evidence that our lifestyle choices can play a part in influencing the risk of breast cancer,and even small changes incorporated into our normal day-to-day activity can make a difference."
She added,"We know that the best weapon to overcome breast cancer is 'the ability to stop it occurring in the first place.The challenge now is how we turn these findings into action and identify other sustainable lifestyle changes that will help us prevent breast cancer."
选项 The word"sustainable"in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to________.
A:affordable
B:available
C:persistent
D:continuable
答案D
解析本文主要讲述了通过问卷调查和研究发现，每天散步-个小时可以有效地降低绝经后女性的乳腺癌发生率，除此之外，保持日常运动和选择正确的生活方式等也可以达到相同的效果。
由文章第四段中的“We were pleased to find that without any other recreational activity, just walking one hour a day was associated with a lower risk of breast cancer in these women.”可知，尽管没有其他的娱乐活动，但是女性每天散步-个小时也可以有效地降低乳腺癌的发生率。所以选项 B、C说法正确。由文章第五段中的“This study adds further evidence that our lifestyle choices can play a part in influencing the risk of breast cancer...”可知，选项D说法正确。故选A。
由文章第四段第二句话“We were pleased to find that...was associated with a lower risk of breast cancer in these women.”可知，每天散步-小时可以降低乳腺癌发生的几率。故选B。
由文章第四段第-句话“Dr.Alpa Patel, a senior epidemiologist at the American Cancer Society in Atlanta, Georgia, who led the study...”可知，Dr.Alpa Pate领导组织了这项研究。故选C。
由文章第三段第三句话“Of the women, 47% said walking was their only recreational activity."可知，在这些参与研究的女性中，有将近-半的人都只有-项娱乐活动―散步。故选B
由文章最后-段最后-句话“The challenge now is how we turn these findings into action and identify other sustainable lifestyle changes that will help us prevent breast cancer.”可知，现在我们面临的挑战是怎样把调查结果转变为实际行动，以及如何识别其他-些可持续的生活方式的改变是否可以有效地防止乳腺癌的发生。"sustainable”意思为“可持续的，合理利用的”，与continuable （可持续的）意思相近。故选D0 affordable负担得起的；available可利用的；persistent持续的，反复出现的。
