Question

“You have cancer” are the three words you never want to hear. Unfortunately, over 5, 000 people in North America do hear those words--every single day. Even worse, cancer has become the second leading cause of death for Americans. America’s health practitioner (從業(yè)人員), David Brownstein, M. D., has spent much of his medical career studying cancer, and learning the best ways to avoid becoming its victim.

And Dr. Brownstein does not shy away from (回避) the hard truth. Statistics demonstrate we are not winning the war on cancer. Far from it. In fact, cancer death rates have remained nearly unchanged over the last 80 years. Plus, traditional cancer treatments have been a terrible failure. Because the only big winner in the cancer treatment story to date has been the cancer industry’s multibillion-dollar profits, Dr. Brownstein has just released a free video documentary revealing some of his startling (令人吃驚的) findings.

In this video, you’ll discover five specific signs that you will be diagnosed (診斷) with cancer during your lifetime. Even more important, you’ll see:

*Seven simple but smart steps to prevent cancer from taking over your body.

*How to help your body naturally kill cancer cells.

*Easiest ways to avoid known cancer-causing factors.

*The little-known relationship between iodine (碘) and cancer.

*And much, much more…

According to Dr. Brownstein, nearly all of us have cancer cells in our bodies at various times during our lives. The trick is to avoid letting those cells increase and defeat the body’s natural defenses.

The good news is that you and your loved ones do not need to become cancer victims. With the simple methods revealed in Dr. Brownstein’s eye-opening video, you can take steps to prevent this deadly disease.

1.and learning the best ways to avoid becoming its victim”可排除A；根據(jù)“cancer has become the second leading cause of death for Americans”可知，癌癥是第二大殺手，排除B；根據(jù)“America’s health practitioner (從業(yè)人員), David Brownstein, M. D., has spent much of his medical career studying cancer”可知，Brownstein是美國的一名健康專家，他致力于癌癥研究，文章沒有提到他得了癌癥，排除C，故選D。

2.Because the only big winner in the cancer treatment story to date has been the cancer industry’s multibillion-dollar profits”可知，唯一的贏家是癌癥治療行業(yè)，它們從中獲得了巨額的利潤，故選B。

3.Statistics demonstrate we are not winning the war on cancer.”可知，人類目前還無法戰(zhàn)勝癌癥，因此，劃線部分指的是人類面對癌癥顯得無能為力，故選D。
