每日一练 Monday（第3周第二学期） 一、 阅读理解 There are various reasons why cancers appear to be on the increase. For one thing, though their sufferers are to be found in all age groups, cancers are particularly likely to attack persons in their middle and advanced years. Naturally, since people live longer these years, there are more cancer sufferers than before. Again, with better methods of diagnosis (诊断), doctors can more easily recognize cancerous growths that would formerly have passed unnoticed or that would have been wrongly diagnosed. It is also believed that certain habits and conditions of modem living, including heavy smoking and the pollution of the air, may leave people living in more cancer-causing conditions than before. We all look forward to the day when a simple medical test can find cancer while it is still small. Researchers around the world are working on such a test. Most of their work deals with the examination of the blood. Researchers in Boston have found something in the blood of cancer patients that does not appear in healthy persons. The test showed which persons had cancer and which did not. It was correct more than 90 percent of the time. The researchers believe the test may be able to show cancer very clearly in its development. Cancers discovered early usually can be treated successfully. The test examines very small bits of fat in the blood called lipids (脂质). Cancers seem to change lipids although doctors do not know why. The test showed differences between the lipids of the persons with cancer and the lipids of those without cancer. The researchers say the new test could be a step to develop a simple way to check patients for cancer before the disease shows on an X-ray. 1. Who will fail cancer from the study of the researchers?

These events and activities allow students to meet each other, become familiar with their new school and learn more about the town or city they now reside in. Also, students should take the time to meet fellow students in their classes, especially major courses.  2  Lastly, you should consider the possibility of joining a club, organization, or athletic group as a great way for students to meet each other. This is another chance for students to get to know their likeminded peers, and to have some fun in the meantime. 3 Many colleges and universities offer academic clubs, counseling resources and assistance in career hunting. Students who feel the need to meet new people, to brush up on their study skills, to discuss personal or academic issues, or are interested in career searching will most certainly find people and programs provided by the university. Colleges and universities wish to see their students succeed and enjoy their time while attending school, which is why many of these resources are available. Enjoying your studies Attending college or university gives students the chance to find what courses suit their personality and narrow down possible future career choices. 4 Try different classes and courses to see which might be the right fit. If students are spending four, five or even six years in school, it is important for them to select the proper major in order to enjoy the experience of their academic education.
