II. PART 2: SHORT ANSWERS (4 POINTS) Reading passage 1. Asthma
Respiratory illnesses such as asthma have increased greatly in the past few
decades. It is estimated that 5% of the population in the United States have
asthma, which is a chronic disease, that is it affects a person over a long period
of time. It may begin before a child is 10 years old, or it may begin in
adulthood. Childhood asthma usually disappears around the age of 20, but
adults who get it later may have it all their lives.
People who suffer from asthma have difficulty breathing because the airways
in their lungs contract when a trigger causes a reaction. Among the triggers of
asthma are indoor and outdoor pollutants, according to doctors. Since pollution
has become more common, the number of people affected by this disorder has
risen. Indoor pollutants include cigarette smoke, dirt, insects, and even pets
like dogs or cats. Outdoor pollutants include chemicals, dust, and smog, that is,
smoke from factories or transport vehicles, like buses and trucks.
People with asthma usually carry an inhaler in case of an attack. This inhaler
contains medicine that they breath in, making the contracted airways in the
lungs expand so that they can breathe normally again. For a few people with
severe asthma, medicine can also be given by injection – in other words, it can
be applied under the skin with a needle every few weeks to prevent attacks.
While it is not possible to cure this condition, people who suffer from it are
1. When does asthma usually appear at children?

2. What may be triggers of asthma attacks?
- People who suffer from asthma have difficulty breathing.
3. What can people do to control asthma?
