21、after a brief battle with lung cancer. ABC News anchors said they hope if anything good can be taken from Jennings death, it is a great awareness of the dangers of smoking. “I want to give a message,” Barbara Walters said. “If you have kids who are smoking, tell them that we lost Peter.” Lung cancer
22、 is the worst killer in America, taking more lives each year than any other cancer, according to the America Cancer Society. About 160,440 Americans die each year of cancer, making up 28 percent of all cancer deaths. More than 87 percent of lung cancers are smoking related. Dr. Derek Raghavan, direc
23、tor of the Cleveland Clinics Taussing Cancer Center, said that once a person stops smoking, he starts getting better. Three to five years after quitting, the possibility of getting lung cancer is reduced by half. Warning signs of lung cancer can also be mixed with symptoms connected with long-term s
24、moking. The three main warning signs are an increase of coughing that doesnt clear up, coughing up blood and sharp chest pains. People with those symptoms should see a doctor. Raghavan said there have been promising developments in the treatment of lung cancer, including uses of radiation and surger

28、smokingB Comets（彗星）orbiting a distant star have been found to contain water, the first time the ingredient(成份) considered key to life has been discovered in objects circling a star other than our sun. The discovery, announced by scientists, adds weight to the theory that other planetary（行星的）systems
29、may be necessary to the formation of life as we know it. Scientists have no way of knowing whether life ever existed on any comets or planets orbiting this particular star, known as CW Leonis and located some 3,000 trillion miles (4,800 trillion kilometers) from Earth in the constellation Leo(狮子座).
30、But they are certain that no life could exist there now. That is because as it burns out the last of its nuclear fuel, the star has swelled（膨胀） and increased in luminosity（发光度）, engulfing(吞没) nearby objects and melting comets in orbits as distant as Neptune is from the sunreleasing the water that as
