Worldwide，almost as many women as men die from heart disease．Yet most treatment methods have come from studies of men．Researchers are now learning more about ways that heart．disease can be different in women．

For example，they say a condition called coronary microvascular syndrome(冠脉微血管综合症)appears to be more common in women than men．

When a heart attack is suspected，doctors look for a major blockage(阻塞物)in the arteries(动脉)that supply oxygen to the heart．With coronary microvascular syndrome，fatty material spreads evenly(均匀地)in very small arteries of the heart．This buildup of plaque(血小板)along the artery wall narrows the flow of oxygen．The pain can be similar to that of blocked arteries．

But doctors often miss this condition because it does not show up in the usual tests for blockages. Women are often sent home，thinking they are OK．Yet many are at high risk for a heart attack．

In USA，researchers say as many as three million women could have coronary microvascular syndrome．The Journal of the American College of Cardiology recently published findings from a government study．

The study is called the Women's Ischemia Syndrome Evaluation(妇女缺血综合征的评价)，or WISE．Ischemic heart disease involves restricted blood flow．The study began in nineteen ninety-six and involves more than nine hundred women who suffer chest pain．

Researchers found large blockages in major arteries in about one-third of the women．The other women looked clear on an angiogram(血管造影)test for blockages．But the researchers say half of them had enough buildup in small arteries to cause a heart attack within five years．

In men and women both，the most common warning sign is chest pain．But women are more likely to experience other common signs like shortness of breath，a sick stomach and pain in the back or jaw．A cold sweat and feeling lightheaded can also mean a heart attack．

Americans spend their free time in various ways．

America is a country of sports-of hunting，fishing and swimming，and of team sports like baseball and football．Millions of Americans watch their favorite sports on television．They also like to play in community orchestras(管弦乐队)，make their own films or recordings，go camping，visit museums，attend lectures，travel，garden，read，and join in hundreds of other activities．The people also enjoy building things for their homes，sewing their own clothes，even making their own photographs．They do these things for fun as well as for economy．

But as much as Americans enjoy their free time，the country is at the same time a“self-improvement” country．More than 25 million adults continue their education，chiefly by going to school in the evening， during their own free time，at their own expense．Added to the time spent on personal activities，Americans a1．so devote a great amount of their time to the varied needs of their communities．Many hospitals，schools，libraries，museums，parks，community centers，and organizations that assist the poor depend on the many hours citizens devote to these activities，often without any Pay.　 Why do they do it?

There are several answers．The idea of cooperating and sharing responsibility with one another for the benefit of all is as old as the country itself．

When the country was first founded in 1776，it was necessary for the settlers to work together to live．They had crossed dangerous seas and risked all they had in their struggle for political and religious freedom．There remains among many Americans a distrust of central government．People still prefer to do things themselves within their communities，rather than give the government more control．

Sometimes people offer their time because they wish to accomplish something for which no money is paid，to do something that will be of benefit to the entire community．It is true that some people use their leisure because they are truly interested in the work；or they are learning from the experience．

No matter what the reason is，hundreds of thousands of so．called leisure hours are put into hard，unpaid work on one or another community need．
