the world"s smokers.
The ban is aimed at controlling the number of deaths from smoking-related diseases, running at a
million deaths a year. That figure is predicted to double by 2020. The new smoking ban is an attempt to
prevent that prediction coming true.
The new rules forbid people from smoking in places like hotels, railway stations or theatres, but not
including the office. Employers can warn their staff of the dangers of smoking but cannot forbid them from smoking at their desks.
But the new rules have been criticized because they do not describe in detail the punishments for
businesses or individuals who flout them. Quite many smokers do not seem to take much notice of them.
Often you find people smoking at next table while you are eating your meal or having a drink in a bar. In
bus stops as well as in railway stations smoking can also be seen here and there. Business owners are also angry at the efforts to force them to ban smoking on their premises (经营场所), because many customers refuse to go to restaurants or places of entertainment where smoking is forbidden.
It appears that many Chinese people are unaware of the dangers of smoking. Research suggests that
only one in four knows the harm cigarettes can cause. Officials say they have to try to persuade people
not to smoke to try to reduce the numbers dying from smoking-related diseases. At the same time,
however, the local governments make a lot of money from the sales of cigarettes by the state-owned firm
that makes and sells tobacco products throughout the country.
B. in the car
C. in the office
D. in any places
B. two million a year
C. three million a year
D. four million a year
B. object to
C. act against
D. be unaware of
①Because the ban on smoking is not written into the law.
②Because there are no clear regulations about punishment.
③Because cigarette firms continue producing cigarettes.
④Because not so many Chinese know about the danger of smoking.
B. ①②④
C. ①③④
D. ②③④

support of family and friends. Some families will be able to return to their normal life quickly, while
others will have to contend with the destruction of their homes, medical problems, and injury to family
members. Children especially will need time to recover from the loss of a loved one or a pet or from the
closing down of their schools.
Children often turn to adults for information, comfort and help. Parents should try to remain calm,
answer children"s questions honestly and remain understanding when they see changes in their children"s
behavior.
Children react differently to an earthquake depending on their ages, developmental levels and former
experiences. Some will respond by withdrawing (不与人交往), while others will have angry outbursts
(爆发). Parents should remain sensitive to each child"s reactions. Parents should spend time talking to
their children, letting them know that it"s OK to ask questions and to share their worries. Although it may
be hard to find time to have these talks, parents can use regular family mealtimes or bedtimes for them.
They should answer questions briefly and honestly and be sure to ask their children for their opinions and
ideas. Issues may come up more than once and parents should remain patient when you answer the
questions again. For young children, parents, after talking about the earthquake, might read a favorite
story or have a relaxing family activity to help them calm down. Parents should also tell children they are
safe and spend extra time with them. They could play games outside or read together indoors. Most
importantly, be sure to tell them you love them.
B. What to do in an earthquake.
C. How to face the loss of a loved one in an earthquake.
D. How to help children recover mentally from an earthquake.
B. make up
C. put off
D. turn back
B. ask them to help do some housework.
C. be patient and answer the question again.
D. take them out to play games.
B. Tell the children they are safe.
C. Tell the children you love them.
D. Ask educational experts for help.
know them and how well they know me.
The first type of friend is just an acquaintance (熟人). This means that you only know their names.
You might not even remember what they look like if you go away for a short vacation. You don"t miss
them when they are elsewhere. It is also this type of friend who gives you the most amount of aggravation(恼怒). Since most of the time you are placed in a position where you have to act friendly. You would
not normally tell an acquaintance when he or she is doing something that makes you feel angry, such as
tapping the fingers on a table or shouting loudly. I call them "pest friends".
The second kind of friend is a "guest friend". They are just social partners. You meet them at a certain
location and at the end of the meeting you go your separate way and they go theirs. You don"t talk too
often with this sort of friend, and you don"t share each other"s secrets.
Lastly, we have "best friends". This sort of friend is there when you need them. They know you as a
person and they are there through thick and thin. Best friends are the ones that you can lean and depend
on no matter what happens. If you need a listening ear, they will be the one to lend support.
Friends come in all different shapes and sizes. Every friend has an impact on our life.…
B. Three kinds of friends in our life.
C. The role that friends play in our life.
D. Why there are different kinds of friends.
B. should stay away from him/her
C. should advise him/her to correct his/her behavior
D. may find it hard to tell him/her not to do so
B. You don"t talk very often with them.
C. You don"t share your secrets with them.
D. They are called "pest friends" by the writer.
B. he/she agrees with whatever you say
C. you spend most of your time together
D. he/she is with you even when there are difficulties
Believe it or not, optical illusion (错觉) can cut highway crashes.
Japan is a case in point. It has reduced automobile crashes on some roads by nearly 75 percent using
a simple optical illusion. But stripes, called chevrons (人字形), painted on the roads make drivers think
that they are driving faster than they really are, and thus drivers slow down.
Now the American Automobile Association Foundation (基金会) for Traffic Safety in Washington
D.C. is planning to repeat Japan"s success. Starting next year, the foundation will paint chevrons and
other patterns of stripes on selected roads around the country to test how well the patterns reduce
highway crashes.
Excessive (too great) speed plays a major role in as much as one fifth of all fatal traffic accidents,
according to the foundation. To help reduce those accidents, the foundation will conduct its tests in areas
where speed-related hazards are the greatest curves, exit slopes, traffic circles, and bridges.
Some studies suggest that straight, horizontal bars painted across roads can initially cut the average
speed of drivers in half. However, traffic often returns to full speed within months as drivers become used
to seeing the painted bars.
Chevrons, scientists say, not only give drivers the impression that they are driving faster than they really are but also make a lane appear to be narrower. The result is a longer lasting reduction in highway speed
and the number of traffic accidents.
B. a new pattern for painting highways
C. a new way of training drivers
D. a new type of optical illusion
B. traffic jams
C. dangers
D. cases
B. can cut road accidents in half
C. will look more attractive
D. will have a longer effect on drivers
of mistakes made during the making of a movie. Most DVDs have a section of outtakes, and often they
will set me off laughing, especially when you know what was supposed to happen.
We all make mistakes, and have many bloopers and outtakes in a lifetime. Some of them may be
funny like movie bloopers, a stupid mistake and we are able to laugh at ourselves. Other outtakes in life,
however, are not funny. I am referring to the tragic turns of events that happen in life that can turn our life
in a moment. Accidents, disaster, the death of a loved one happen unexpectedly, and can greatly affect
our lives. These are outtakes we would prefer not to happen or even replayed in our life.
Times of crisis and tragedy can not be prevented, but how you handle these outtakes will affect the
rest of your life. There is always a choice in any crisis. We can choose to feel upset, but keep hopes and
move forward, or choose to become stuck in the past. We cannot choose our circumstances, but we do
have a choice how we respond to them. We can give in or overcome, and our choice will determine our
future. When we drive a car our focus is the road ahead; if we spend all our time looking in the rearview
mirror(后视镜) failure is more or less inevitable(不可避免)! The same is true in life. We will fail, or at
best remain at a standstill if we keep looking back and focusing on the events behind us, reliving the past.
B. they are part of a movie
C. he wants to direct us to his topic in a natural way
D. he just wants to tell us a story
B. they can be avoided
C. they are more funny
D. they happen more often
B. his funny experience in watching a movie
C. to choose the right attitude towards outtakes in life
D. what we should learn from the outtakes in real life
B. Outtakes will destroy you.
C. There is always a choice in any crisis.
D. Keep hopes whatever happens.
there have always been people who have looked for adventure-those who have climbed the highest
mountains, explored unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans.
Now, however, there are people who seek an immediate thrill from a risky activity which may only last a
few minutes or even seconds.
I would consider bungee-jumping to be a good example of such an activity. You jump from a high
place (perhaps a bridge or a hot-air balloon)200 meters above the ground with an elastic(有弹性的)
rope tied to your ankles. You fall at up to 150 kilometers. It is estimated that 2 million people around the
world have now tried bungee-jumping. Other activities which most people would say are as risky as
bungee-jumping involve jumping from tall buildings and diving into the sea from the top of high cliffs.
Why do people take part in such activities as these? Some psychologists suggest that it is because life
in modern societies has become safe and boring. Not very long ago people"s lives were constantly under
threat. They had to go out and hunt for food, diseases could not easily be cured, and life was a
continuous battle for survival.
Nowadays, according to many people, life offers little excitement. They live and work in comparatively safe environments；they buy food in shops；and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill. The answer for some of these people is to seek danger in activities such as bungee-jumping.
B. The Boredom of Modern Life
C. Bungee-jumping:Is It Really Dangerous?
D. The Need for Excitement
B. climbing the highest mountains
C. coming close to death in sports
D. looking for adventures such as exploring unknown places
B. they can go to hospital when they are injured
C. their lives are short of excitement
D. they no longer need to hunt for food
B. a feeling of unhappiness
C. a feeling of feeling upset
D. a feeling of being frightened
