Exercise Cuts Cancer Deaths in Men Men who exercise often are less likely to die from cancer than those who 1 , new research published in the British Journal of Cancer revealed yesterday. A team of scientists from the Karolinska Institute in Sweden looked 2 the effect of physical activity and cancer risk in 40,708 men 3 between 45 and 79. The seven-year study found that men 4 walked or cycled for at least 30 minutes a day had a 34 per cent lower risk of 5 from cancer than the men who did less exercise or nothing at all. 6 the period studied, 3,714 men developed cancer and 1,153 died from the disease. The researchers suggest that half an hour s walking 7 cycling a day increased survival among these men by 33 per cent. The researchers surveyed men from two counties in central Sweden about their lifestyle and the amount of 8 activity they were usually doing. They then scored these responses and compared the results 9 data on cancer diagnosis and death officially recorded in a central cancer registry2 over a seven-year period. Lead author, Professor Alicja Wolk, said: "These results clearly show for the first time the effect that very simple and basic daily 10 such as walking or cycling has in reducing cancer death risk in middle-aged and elderly 11 "Dr Lesley Walker, director of cancer information at Cancer Research UK, said: "This study gives us a clear indication that men who exercise are less 12 to die from cancer, and that they are more likely to 13 the disease if they get it. It s not entirely clear from this study what role exercise plays in preventing 14 in men, but we do know that a healthy lifestyle can prevent up to half of all cancers- and 15 exercise forms a key part of this." 1 A don t B didn t C won t D can t 2 A on B for C at D by 3 A ranged B aged C ranked D listed 4 A which B who C whom D what 5 A recovering B turning C dying D surviving 6 A During B Since C Despite D Between 7 A and B but C or D with 8 A mental B physical C psychological D artistic 9 A upon B towards C into D with 10 A exercise B life C work D style 11 A people B men C adults D couples 12 A possible B able C likely D apparent 13 A lose B miss C treat D survive 14 A disaster B cancer C mistakes D accidents 15 A random B rare C regular D rough 参考答案 ACBBC ACBDA BCDBC
