aspirin had a reduced death rate ,especially from heart disease.
The research,based on data from a major trial that has tracked almost 80,000 women since 1976,
found that women who reported using aspirin on a regular basis had a 25 percent lower risk of death
from any cause than women who didn't take the drug.
The risk of death from cardiovascular (心血管的) disease was 38 percent lower for aspirin users,
and there was also a 12 percent reduction in cancer deaths that took effect after a decade of aspirin
use, the researchers found in their report based on the Nurses' Health Study.
However,an accompanying editorial in the journal cautioned that the results were open to debate
and far from definitive.
The dissenting (持异议的) editorial was based on results of an earlier trial by the Women's Health
Study, which followed almost 40,000 women for 11 years and found no reduction in overall deaths.
Therefore,the new findings" cannot overcome the accumulated evidence that aspirin is not particularly
effective for the primary prevention of death from cardiovascular disease in women. "
" This is a complicated issue , " said Dr. Andrew T. Chan, leading author of the new report. "We
understand that aspirin has potential health benefits,but who would aspirin therapy(疗法) be appropriate
for? There are areas of disagreements that need further study before that question can be answered" ,
Chan said. But there is information from the two large studies and other trials that can help guide women
and their physicians,he said. And anyone who is thinking about daily aspirin should really talk with doctors about the benefits and risks.

查看习题详情和答案>>Everyone hates to wait in lines. We get that anxious feeling that our precious life is slipping away while we’re doing something so meaningless. But it’s not always the length of the wait we find so unbearable. Some people camp outside Apple stores for an entire night just to get their hands on the latest product. But waiting 10 minutes in a grocery store just to buy a drink? Forget it.
??? Our behavior when waiting is only partly decided by the length of the wait. “Often the psychology of queuing is more important than the statistics of the wait itself,” notes the MIT researcher Richard Larson.
??? One apparent aspect of queuing psychology is that we get bored when we wait in line. This issue is solved in many ways, from magazines in hospital waiting rooms to mirrors in elevators so that we can check our appearance.
??? We really hate it when we expect a short wait and then get a long one. But studies show that we are much more patient when we are given an idea of how long we’ll be waiting.
??? Walt Disney Co knows this better than anyone else. It posts estimated waiting times for attractions in its theme parks. But according to Larson, these times are overestimated so that visitors get to the front of the queue more quickly than they expect. It keeps them happy.
??? But perhaps the biggest influence on our feelings about waiting in a line has to do with our sense of fairness. When it comes to queues, the universally acknowledged standard is first come, first served. Any departure from this principle is regarded as unfair and can lead to violent queue anger.
You’ve probably experienced mild queue anger yourself in fast food restaurants, watching people in the other line zoom ahead of you, cursing yourself for having chosen the “wrong” line. In order to solve this problem, the serpentine(蛇形) line was invented. The serpentine line guides all customers into one big snaking queue, separated by ropes or barriers. When you reach the head of the queue, you are directed to the next available server, or teller, or customs official. The serpentine line isn’t always faster than multi-lines before an array(排) of cash registers. But it offers important comfort: you absolutely never have to see someone arrive after you and get served before you.
In life, waiting is inevitable. But a better understanding of the psychology of waiting can help make it a bit more bearable. When all else fails, bring a book or a smart phone will also do.
