Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has said he is free of cancer after returning from health checks in Cuba following four cycles of chemotherapy. 瑞内瑞拉总统乌戈·查韦斯称,他在古巴接受四轮化疗并接受健康检查之后,已拜托癌症困扰。 President Chavez says he is well enough to seek re-election next year "Everything went perfectly1. I got top marks, 20 out of 20," he told reporters. Mr Chavez had previously2 described his treatment as successful. But secrecy3 about his illness fuelled speculation4 it may be worse than officially stated. "I am free of illness," Chavez said in an address to Venezuelans after arriving in the town of La Fria in western Venezuela. He later made a pilgrimage(朝圣) to a Catholic shrine5, Santo Cristo de la Grita, as a gesture of thanksgiving. "The new Chavez is back ... We will live!" he declared. His return from Cuba was broadcast in a special transmission on Venezuelan television and radio stations. The 57-year-old leader, who has been in power since 1999, says his illness will not stop him from standing6 for re-election next year, and winning. Mr Chavez has transformed Venezuela with sweeping7 nationalisations. His reforms have made him popular with many poor people, but critics say he wants to install Cuban-style communism in Venezuela. Last month, he denied US media reports that he had been rushed to hospital with kidney failure linked to his cancer treatment. He has so far given no details of his illness and doctors warn that patients must generally wait at least two years after treatment before they can be considered out of danger. 点击收听单词发音
