7.Five Things You Should Know About Adult Asthma (哮喘)
About 44million people in Asia Pacific suffer from asthma.The numbers are on the rise especially in China and India where there is rapid industrialization and urbanization.Dr Mariko Koh,Director of the Pulmonary Function Laboratory and Asthma Programme at Singapore General Hospital,tells us more about adult asthma:
1.Chronic inflammation (炎症) of the airways
When the airways are inflamed,mucus (粘液) forms,blocking airflow,causing breathlessness,wheezing (喘息) and tightness in the chest.
2.Common triggers
Exposure to allergens (过敏原) such as mites,cockroaches,pets and pollen can trigger asthma.Tobacco smoke,respiratory infections,exercise and some medications like aspirin and beta blockers are also possible triggers.
Effective treatment
Asthma can be controlled with medication.The main treatment of asthma is inhaled (吸入) corticosteroids to reduce inflammation and block of the airways.Reliever medications may be used to treat acute symptoms.Take note:it is not too late to take medication after an asthma attack.
4.Take medication daily
To ensure good control over asthma,medication must be taken daily on a long term basis to prevent attacks.Also,go to your doctor for regular checkups.
5.Quality of life
Asthma sufferers can lead normal active lives as long as the symptoms are well controlled.Taking medication as directed and avoiding triggers can make a big difference to the quality of life.

32. All of the following are possible factors causing asthma exceptC.
A.aspirin    
B.pollen
C.polluted air

C.China and India have the largest number of asthma sufferers in the world.
D.Regular checkups and exercise can ensure you a life free from asthma symptoms.

分析 本文主要讲了亚太地区有大约了4400万的哮喘病,而且由于快速发展的工业化和城镇化,中国和印度的哮喘患者的人数在增加.新加坡肺功能实验室和哮喘项目的主任Mariko Koh,博士讲述了一些关于成人哮喘的知识.

解答 32.C  细节理解题.由第三自然段Exposure to allergens (过敏原) such as mites,cockroaches,pets and pollen can trigger asthma.Tobacco smoke,respiratory infections,exercise and some medications like aspirin and beta blockers are also possible triggers.意思是:暴露在一些过敏原比如螨虫、蟑螂、宠物和花粉,都会引发哮喘.烟草烟雾、呼吸道感染、运动和一些药物如阿司匹林和β受体阻断剂也可能触发.故污染的空气不会引发哮喘.故选C.
33.A  推理判断题.由第四自然段Asthma can be controlled with medication意思是:哮喘可以用药物来控制.可知敏感性哮喘是没有办法治愈的.故选A.
34.B  细节理解题.由第五自然段To ensure good control over asthma,medication must be taken daily on a long term basis to prevent attacks.意思是:为了确保良好地控制哮喘,必须长期坚持日常服药,来预防哮喘突发.故选B.
35.D  目的意图题.本文主要讲了目前哮喘病在亚太地区多发,尤其目前中国和印度的哮喘患者人数增加,以及引发哮喘病的病因、病原体,还有使用药物对哮喘病进行控制,最后提出坚持日常服药来保持患者的生活质量.故选D.

My waiter was also their waiter.As I paid my bill,I asked what their bill was.He told me,and I gave him $40to pay their bill.He asked if I knew them and I told him"No,I just wanted to repay them for the love that they were showing to each other,"and then I left.
