  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,1,483 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 him.
  “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.”
  His 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,6 experts said.
  What a new tendency in lung cancer is concluded by the researchers?
  A: Men are more likely to develop lung cancer than women.
  B: Women are more likely to develop lung cancer than men.
  C: Patients with lung cancer become older,especially males.
  D: Patients with lung cancer become younger,especially females.

  Recycling Around the World
  Recycling is one of the best environmental success stories of the late 20th century.But we could do more.People must not see recycling as fashionable,but essential.
  The Japanese are very good at recycling because they live in a crowded country. They do not have much space.They do not want to share their limited space with rubbish.But even so,Tokyo area alone is estimated to have three million tons of leftover rubbish at present.
  In 1996, the United States recycled and composted（制成肥料）57 million tons of waste (27%of the nation's solid waste).This is 57 million tons of waste which did not go into landfills and incinerators（焚化炉）.In doing this,7,000 rubbish collection programs and recycling centers helped the authorities.
  In Rockford,a city in Illinois,U.S.,its officials choose one house each week and check its garbage（废物）.If the garbage does not contain an newspapers or aluminum（铝）cans,then the resident of the house gets a prize of at least$1,000.
  In Japan,certain cities give children weekly supplies of tissue paper and toilet paper in exchange for a weekly collection of newspapers.
  In one year Britain recycles:
  ——1 out of every 3 newspapers.
  ——1 out of every 4 glass bottles and jars（罐子）.
  ——1 out of every 4 items of clothing.
  ——1 out of every 3 aluminum drink cans.
  In 1999,Hong Kong transported 1.3 million tons of waste to mainland China for recycling. Around 535,000 tons of waste was recycled in Hong Kong itself.
  Over half the things we throw away could be recycled.That means we could recycle 10 times as much as we do now.
  However,recycling needs a lot of organization and special equipment. Also,there is not much use for some recycled material.
  Which of the following is NOT true of Britain?
  A:It recycles 1 out of every 3 newspapers each year.
  B:It recycles 1 out of every 4 glass bottles and jars each year.
  C:It recycles 1 out of every 4 items of clothing each year.
  D:It recycles 1 out of every 3 aluminum cans each year.

  Travel Across Africa
  For six hours we shot through the barren（荒芜的）landscape of the Karoo desert in
  South Africa. Just rocks and sand and baking sun. Knowing our journey was ending,Daniel and I just wanted to remember all we had seen and done. He used a camera. I used words. I had already finished three notebooks and was into the fourth,a beautiful leather notebook I'd bought in a market in Mozambique.
  Southern Africa was full of stories and visions.We were almost drunk on sensations,the roaring（咆哮）of the water at Victoria Falls, the impossible silence of the Okavango Delta in Botswana.
  And then the other things:dogs in the streets,whole families in Soweto living in one room,a kilometre from clean water.
  As we drove towards the setting sun,a quietness fell over us. The road was empty一we hadn't seen another car for hours.And as I drove,something caught my eye,something moving close enough to touch them,to smell their hot breath. I didn't know how long they had been there next to us.
  I shouted to Dan:“Look!”But he was in a deep sleep,his camera lying useless by his feet. They raced the car for a few seconds,then disappeared far behind us,a memory of he- roic forms in the red landscape.
  When Daniel woke up an hour later I told him what had happened.
  ”Wild horses?”he said.”Why didn't you wake me up,Sophia?”
  ”I tried. But they were gone after a few seconds.”
  ”Are you sure you didn't dream it?”
  ”You were the one who was sleeping!”
  ”Typical”,he said.”The best photos are the ones we never take.”
  We checked into a dusty hotel and slept the sleep of the dead.
  The horses didn't come near the car.
