Let's face it: plane riders are stressful. For starters, cabin pressures _____1_____ high altitudes are set at roughly what they _____2_____(be) if you lived at 5,000 to 8,000 feet above sea level. Most people can tolerate these pressures pretty easily, but passengers with heart disease may experience chest pains as a result of the _____3_____(reduce) amount of oxygen flowing through their blood. Low pressure _____4_____ also cause the air in body cavities _____5_____(expand)—as much as 30%+. Again, most people won't notice _____6_____ beyond mild stomach cramping. But if you've recently had an operation, your wound could open. And if a medical device _____7_____(implant) in your body—a splint, a tracheotomy（气管切开术）tube or a catheter (导管)—it could expand and cause injury.

Another common in-flight problem is deep venous thrombosis(深静脉血栓)—the so-called economy-class syndrome. When you sit too long in a cramped position, the blood in our legs _____8_____(tend) to clot. Most people just get sore calves. But blood clots, left untreated, could travel to the lungs, _____9_____(cause) breathing difficulties and even death. Such clots are readily prevented by keeping blood flowing; walk and stretch your legs _____10_____ possible.

Let's face it: plane riders are stressful. For starters, cabin pressures at high altitudes are set at roughly what they would be if you lived at 5,000 to 8,000 feet above sea level. Most people can tolerate these pressures pretty easily, but passengers with heart disease may experience chest pains as a result of the reduced amount of oxygen flowing through their blood. Low pressure can also cause the air in body cavities to expand—as much as 30%+. Again, most people won't notice anything beyond mild stomach cramping. But if you've recently had an operation, your wound could open. And if a medical device has been implanted in your body—a splint, a tracheotomy（气管切开术）tube or a catheter (导管)—it could expand and cause injury.

★译文参考：

让我们面对现实吧：坐飞机的人会承受压力。首先，高空机舱内的气压大约相当于海拔 5000–8000 英尺处的气压。大多数人可以轻松承受这类压力，但患有心脏病的乘客，可能会因为血液中氧气含量下降而感到胸痛。低压还会让体腔内的空气发生膨胀，膨胀幅度最高可达 30% 以上。同样，大部分人只会感觉到轻微的胃部痉挛，没有别的不适。但如果你刚做完手术，伤口有可能裂开；如果体内植入了医疗器具，比如夹板、气管切开套管或者导管，这些器械也会膨胀，造成身体损伤。

另一种常见的飞行问题是深静脉血栓，也就是俗称的经济舱综合征。长时间局促久坐，腿部血液容易凝结成血栓。多数人只会觉得小腿酸痛。但血栓如果不加以处理，可能游移到肺部，造成呼吸困难，甚至死亡。这类血栓很容易预防，办法就是保持血液流通；条件允许时，多走动、拉伸腿部。

★长句分解：

Most people can tolerate these pressures pretty easily, butpassengers with heart disease may experience chest painsas a result of the reduced amount of oxygen flowing through their blood.

句型结构：主句1 +but主句2+原因状语+（oxygen）定语

主句2：passengers with heart disease may experience chest pains

原因状语：as a result of the reduced amount of oxygen 

oxygen的定语：flowing through their blood.

答案：at；would be; reduced; can; to expand; anything; has been implanted; tends; causing; when
