Cooking Oil Fumes Cause Tumor
The leading cause of lung cancer among women in the city was cooking oil fumes while men are more likely to develop the disease from smoking, said medical experts after a five-year research study.
Doctors announced the results yesterday with analysis on some new tendencies in lung cancer. They said patients are younger, especially women.
According to the Shanghai Tumor research Institute, more local residents die of lung cancer in the city than anything else. Following breast cancer, it has the second-highest incidence rate.
"An unhealthy lifestyle is a very important reason for lung cancer, " said Dr He Yumin from Shanghai Minshen Traditional Chinese Medicine Tumor Diagnosis and Treatment Center.
He followed 2, 276 lung cancer patients for five years. Among them, 1, 433 were male.
Smoking causes 70 percent of cases among men while only 18 percent of female patients developed cancer from smoking or inhaling second-hand smoke, according to the report.
However, more than 60 percent of women with the disease had long term, close contact with strong oil fumes from cooking and complained about irritated eyes and throat.
About 32 percent of women fried foods in boiling oil in unventilated kitchens and about 25 percent of women’s bedrooms were adjacent to the kitchen.
However, local women were surprised to learn cooking oil fumes could lead to cancer. Some claimed they may change food preparation methods.
"Unless my family and I don’t eat at home every day, I must stay in the kitchen to cook, " said Xu Li, a 45-year-old local woman. "I know the fumes are bad for the skin, but it is the first time I heard that it can result in lung cancer. I have already started frying less. "
Doctors said women’s lung cancer had few links to personal health and physical condition, but was closely related to family cancer history, unhealthy dietary habits and weak immune systems.
Other experts agreed with He.
"Smoking is by far the biggest cause of lung cancer for men, " said Dr Tan Binyong, honorary president of the Respiratory Disease Institute at Fudan University’s Medical College. "It’s true that second-hand smoke and cooking fumes are the main causes among women. "
He’s research also warned people not to stand near of stalls selling fried foods due to the poor quality of oils used.
The chance of catching lung cancer is three times higher if exposed to the fume for a long time, experts said.
Which of the following has relatively little connection with women’s lung cancer? ______
选项
A、Family cancer history.
B、Unhealthy dietary habits.
C、Weak immune systems.
D、Personal health and physical condition.
答案
D
解析
回答此题时,首先要注意倒数第五段中的两处文字,即had few links to...和was closely related to…,其中link to意为connection with,而relate to则意为connect with,都是“联系”的意思,只是few和closely的差别却很大。few和little一样,都是具有否定意义的词,意为“很少,几乎没有”,只是后面的名词分别为可数名词和不可数名词而已;它们与a few和a little不同,a few和a little具有肯定意义,意为“有几个”和“有一点”,后面的名词同样分别为可数名词和不可数名词。如果这一点明白了,也就很容易回答这道题了。
