transferring from a two year school to a four year school you may be required to retake course that you have already completed at the community college Furthermore some schools require you to complete a minimum number of credits at your new school before you can graduate usually 60 credits or two years of coursework This may delay your graduation date 43 What does the last paragraph mean A Some

has been used for many years as a painkiller It also has an anti inflammatory 消炎 action and can be used to reduce fever Aspirin is already recommended for people to prevent stroke and heart attack because it improves one s blood circulation So many people already take daily aspirin as a heart drug Although aspirin can cause deadly internal bleeding which is relatively rare its benefits for people are great not only to help increase the length of people s lives but to prevent and treat cancer or to stop cancer spread according to the latest research Taking a low dose 剂量 of aspirin every day can prevent and possibly even treat cancer fresh evidence suggests Prof Peter Rothwell from Oxford University and his colleagues who carried out the latest work had already linked aspirin with a lower risk of certain cancers particularly bowel 肠 cancer But their previous work suggested people needed to take the drug for about 10 years to get any protection Now the protective effect occurs much sooner within three to five years based on a new analysis of data from 51 trials involving more than 77 000 patients And aspirin appears not only to reduce the risk of developing many different cancers in the first place but may also stop cancers spreading around the body Taking a low 75 300mg daily dose of aspirin appeared to cut the total number of cancer cases by 25 after only three years there were nine cancer cases per 1 000 each year in the aspirin taking group compared with 12 per 1 000 for those taking dummy pills It also reduced the risk of a cancer death by 15 within five years and sooner if the dose was higher than 300mg And if patients stayed on aspirin for longer their cancer death risk went down even further by 37 after five years Low dose aspirin also appeared to reduce the probability that cancers particularly bowel would spread to other parts of the body and by as much as half in some instances However Prof Rothwell says for most fit and healthy people the most important things they can do to reduce their lifetime cancer risk is to give up smoking take exercise and have a healthy diet But experts warn that there is still not enough
