第17题,One of the world＇s most deadly health problems is spreading to new places. The problem is heart disease and it is affecting more and more people in developing countries. For years heart disease has been the number one cause of death in most industrial nations. The heart disease has claimed more life than cancer, accidents or Aids. In the past in most developing nations fewer people died from heart disease. They died instead from diseases such as lung disease.

More people also work in offices now. They sit at the desk all day. They do not get enough physical exercise.

Which of the following might be the best title for this passage?
