1 读短文,答问题

阅读下面短文,根据所读内容将文后的10个小题的信息补充完整。注意:每空不超过3个单词。

C.O.P.D., chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(慢性阻塞性肺疾病), blocks airflow through the lungs, making breathing difficult. It is a new name for emphysema(肺气肿) and chronic bronchitis(慢性支气管炎). These are the two most common forms of the disease. Many people with C.O.P.D. have both of them. And Doctors say more women than men now die from the disease. The leading cause is cigarette smoking. Experts say the damage to the lungs cannot be repaired and there is no cure.

Dawn DeMeo is an assistant professor at Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts. She says by 2020, C.O.P.D. will likely be the third leading cause of death across the world. She is the lead author of a study by a team from Harvard's Brigham and Women's Hospital and the University of Bergen in Norway. The new study adds to findings that women may be more at risk than men for the damaging effects of smoking.

The team examined results from a Norwegian study of 954 people with C.O.P.D. Doctors say the findings show that women suffered more severe C.O.P.D. and a greater loss of lung function than men.

Dr. DeMeo says many people underestimate the health risks of their own cigarette consumption, thinking that a few cigarettes here and there, a few cigarettes every day, are harmless. But clearly there is no such thing as a safe level of cigarette smoke exposure. And the findings suggest that this is particularly true for women.

There are several possible explanations why women may be more at risk from the effects of cigarette smoke than men. Women have smaller airways, so each cigarette may do more harm. Also, there are differences between males and females in the way the body processes cigarette smoke. And genes and hormones could also play an important part.
