Doctors believe that second-hand smoke may cause lung cancer in people who do not smoke. Non-smokers often breathe in the smoke from other people’s cigarettes. This is second-hand smoke. The U.S Environmental Protection Agency(美国环保局) reports that about fifty-three thousand people die in the United States each year as a result of exposure(暴露) to second-hand smoke.

It is harder for children to avoid second-hand smoke. In the United States, nine million children under the age of five live in homes with at least one smoker. Research shows that these children are sick more often than children who live in homes where no one smokes. The damaging effects of second-hand smoke on children also continue as they grow up. The children of smokers are more than twice as likely to develop lung cancer when they are adults as children of non-smokers. The risk is even higher for children who live in homes where both parents smoke.

People are becoming very aware of the danger of second –hand smoke. As a result, they have passed laws that prohibit people from smoking in many public places. Currently, 45states in the United States have laws that restrict, or limit, smoking. The most well-known law doesn’t allow people to smoke on short native airline flights, i.e. flights within the country.

1. Compared with non-smokers’ children, the children whose parents both smoke are likely to ＿ ＿＿. A) grow up more slowly C) develop lung cancer more often B) be sick under to age of five D) become smokers more easily 2. Why are there laws made against smoking in public places in the U.S? A) Because people have realized the danger of second-hand smoke. B) Because more and more people don’t like smoking now.

D) Because the government wants to limit the production of cigarettes. 3. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A) The number of smokers’ children is twice greater than that of non-smokers’ children. B) People are now not allowed to smoke on airline flights in the U.S.

C) Adults whose parents smoked when they were children get cancer more frequently. D) Second-hand smoke is not as dangerous as first-hand smoke 4. From the passage we can conclude that ＿＿ ＿. A) the main cause of lung cancer is second-hand smoke

B) most people know nothing about the danger of second-hand smoke C) public places are dangerous for people to stay D) children suffer most from second-hand smoke 5. This passage is mainly about＿＿ ＿. A) how people get cancer B) who can get cancer easily

C) what should be done with smoking in public D) whether second-hand smoking can be harmful CACDD

Many visitors to the United States find that the fast pace at which people move is very troubling. One’s first impression is likely to be that everyone is in a rush. City people always seem to be hurrying to get where they are going. And they are very impatient if they are delayed even for a brief moment. At first this may seem unfriendly to you. But drivers will rush you; storekeepers will be in a hurry as they serve you; people will push past you as they walk along the street. You will miss smiles and brief conversations with people when you shop or dine in a restaurant. Do not think it is because Americans are in such a hurry that

they are unfriendly. Life is often much slower outside the big cities, which is true in other countries as well. American who live in cities such as New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles, often think that everyone is equally in a hurry to get things done. But when they discover that you are a stranger, most Americans become quite kindly and will take great care to help you.

6. Visitors to the United States possibly feel that city people of the country are very________. A) busy C) troubling B) kind D) patient. 7. In American big cities, people rarely____.

A) smile to each other. C) chat with each other in a shop. B) move at a fast pace. D) dine away from home 8. According to the writer, American people are _____________. A) unfriendly only when they are shopping B) actually friendly to foreign visitors. C) indeed cold to foreign visitors

D) in no hurry when walking in the street.

9. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A) Life pace is different inside and outside big cities. B) Life pace is quite slow in other parts of the world. C) Life pace is the same in different parts of the world. D) Life pace is similar in American cities, big or small

10. It seems that Americans are cold to you because they think____________. A) you are a foreigner

B) you know their way of life C) you are as busy as they are D) you are a stranger there ACBAC
