30、rise to 15 million by 2020. Researchers say most of that increase will mainly be due to steadily aging populations in both developed and developing countries and current trends in smoking and other unhealthy habits.“Cancer has emerged as a major public health problem in developing countries for the

38、 in Paris on 26 June, 1997 at the age of 87. His influence is great. Scientists respected his creative engineering; engineers praised his science.

42、 films and television programmes won two Academy Rewards, three Emnies, and the hearts and minds of viewers worldwide for decades.Showered with honours, Cousteau remarked recently that he thought his most important accomplishment was to make people aware of and care about the ocean.
