There were 369 fewer cancer deaths in 2003 (556,902 deaths) than in 2002. Although the decline may seem small compared to the total number of cancer deaths, the American Cancer Society expects the downward trend to continue and is projecting a much larger decrease in 2006. Cancer is still a deadly disease, causing one in every four deaths in the United States, second only to heart disease. But the rate of cancer deaths has been dropping by about 1 percent annually since 1991, because earlier discovery and better treatment are helping more people survive cancer. When the government first began keeping records in 1930, cancer led to 114,186 deaths and the US population was roughly 123 million, less than half of the 290 million people who live in the United States today. Back then, there were few treatment options---just surgery and high doses of radiation--- and they weren’t very effective. The first chemotherapy(化疗) drugs weren’t developed until after World War II. The first real break-through in widespread prevention was the US Surgeon General’s report on smoking in 1964. Poor nutrition, less physical exercise and obesity are major causes of cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, reduced tobacco use is the biggest single factor contributing to the drop in cancer deaths. Smoking and other tobacco use are a major cause of lung cancer --- one of the most deadly forms of the disease--- as well as 14 other types of cancer.56. According to the passage, ___ causes the most deaths in the United States today. A. cancer B. heart disease C. smoking D. drugs57. Which is the most important in protecting people from cancer according to the passage? A. Exercising more . B. Being examined now and then.C. Giving up smoking D. Receiving effective treatment58. Which of the following was the first key period for the decrease of cancer deaths? A. 1930 B. 1964 C. 1984 D. 199159. What conclusion can we draw from the passage? A. Cancer can already be cured now. B. Cancer is not as deadly now as before. C. Cancer deaths will be ended soon. D. Cancer deaths can be further reduced.60. According to the passage, we can infer that there were____ cancer deaths in 2002. A. 369,000 B. 557,271 C. 556,902 D. 556,533B.Mother of two, Jillian Searle, had to choose between her children when she made a life-and-death decision.
