Eating too much fatty food, exercising too little and smoking can raise your future risk of heart disease. But there is another factor that can cause your heart problems more immediately: the air you breathe.
Previous studies have linked high exposure (暴露）to environmental pollution to an increased risk of heart problem, but two analyses now show that poor air quality can lead to heart attack or stroke (中风）within as little as a few hours after exposure. In one review of the research, scientists found that people exposed to high levels of pollutants (污染物）were up to 5% more likely to suffer a heart attack within days of exposure than those with lower exposure. A separate study of stroke patients showed that even air that the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers to be of “moderate” (良好）quality and relatively safe for our health can raise the risk of stroke as much as 34% within 12 to 14 hours of exposure.
The authors of both studies stress that these risks are relatively small for healthy people and certainly modest compared with other risk factors such as smoking and high blood pressure. However, it is important to be aware of these dangers because everyone is exposed to air pollution regardless of lifestyle choices. So stricter regulation by the EPA of pollutants may not only improve environmental air quality but could also become necessary to protect public health.

Friendly doctors are“bad for their patients’health”，researchers have warned as a new study revealed two thirds of young doctors struggle to be truthful with patients they like．
Blurring(使…模糊)the lines between social and professional relationships can affect the
level of care offered and prevent patients from being honest about important side effects．
“Doctors should avoid adding patients as friends on Facebook they should not hug or allow
patients to call them by their first names”．regulators have warned．“Those who break the
boundaries will face some punishment．”
It comes as a survey of 338 oncologists(肿瘤科医生)under the age of 40，found 59 per cent
said they found it difficult to tell the truth to those patients they liked．Sixty per cent of respondens said if doctors felt too close to their patients，it could prevent them from making objective
decisions about a person’s care．
Lesley Fallowfield，of Brighton and Sussex Medical Schoo1．said：“Oncology is a profession
That can be enormously rewarding but is filled with many challenges．Young oncologists have
to master dealing with anxious patients who are facing a life-threatening diseaseconveying the
true prognosis(预后)；discussing the complexity of modern treatments；and explaining the
unavailability of some drugs，the side-effects of treatment，and likely treatment aims．”
But she said，“Those doctors who have entered the profession in the age of the ‘Internet
world’are more likely to fall victim to blurring the professional boundaries with patients．
She said：“The difficulty，if you hug and kiss patients，if you allow them to call you by
your first name，is that quickly the relationship can become confused as a social one rather than
a professional one．Doctors become confused，‘I really like this person，how can I bear to tell
them that they’re going to die?’ They find it more difficult to be objective．”
5. Why are friendly doctors bad for their patients’ health?
A．They find it not easier to be objective to the patients
B．They are not good at treating patients．
C．They don’t like to cheat patients．
D．They seldom blur the relationship with patients.
6. What should doctors do according to the regulations?
