Survey Finds Many Women Misinformed about Cancer
63 percent of American women think that if there&39;s no family history of cancer, you&39;re not likely to develop the disease, a new survey found.
In fact, most people who develop cancer have no family history of cancer. According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) (美国妇产科医师学会) , which sponsored the survey.
"Too many women are dying from cancer," Dr. Douglas W. Laube, ACOG&39;s immediate past president, said during a Friday teleconference. "An estimated 200,070 women will die in the U. S.this year, and over 600,078 women will be diagnosed with cancer. The results of this survey found a worrisome (令人担忧的) gap in women&39;s knowledge about cancer."
Based on the findings, ACOG is increasing its efforts to educate women about cancer and the need for regular screening tests.
Although the survey found many misconceptions (错误观念) about cancer,76 percent of women surveyed did say they feel knowledgeable about how they can reduce their risk of the disease.
However, only 52 percent said they were doing enough to reduce that risk. And 10 percent said they hadn&39;t done anything in the past year to lower their risk.17 percent said they wouldn&39;t change their lifestyles, even if changes would lower their cancer risk.
Many women said they were afraid to undergo screening out of fear of finding cancer.20 percent said they didn&39;t want to know if they had cancer.
In response to these findings, ACOG will launch on Oct.29 a new website, Protect&Detect:
What Women Should Know about Cancer. The guide is designed to help women to take charge of their health and improve their understanding of their risk of cancer, and the lifestyle. steps they can take to cut that risk.

听力原文: The farm economy of the United States has changed a lot in tile last seventy years. In the 1930s, 25 percent of the nation's population lived on farms (32) . Today less than one percent of Americans do.
Farm incomes have changed over the years too. For example, in 1933, people living and working on farms had much less money to spend than other Americans. At that time, farm families had about one-third the income of non-farmers after all necessary expenses had been paid. By the late 1970s, however, that difference had almost disappeared (33) .
In 2004, farmers had their best year ever. The United States Department of Agriculture says the average farm family earned about 81,000 dollars. That is more than the average American family, which earned about 60,000 dollars. Yet these numbers do not completely explain the situation for all farmer.. Those who have small farms often take other jobs to earn extra income. And farm earnings for large farms grew faster than for small ones (34) .
The Department of Labor measures the pay of industrial workers differently. It measures the average hourly and weekly pay for industrial workers. This is because factory workers are generally paid by the hour unlike farmers who earn income from their farm businesses. Industrial workers are about 23 percent of the labor force. But that number has been decreasing (35) . Most Americans have jobs that provide services. Professional technical and other services employ about 76 percent of the labor force.
