Secondhand smoke clearly kills people and the only way to control it is to ban smoking in all workplaces, US Surgeon-General Dr Richard Carmona said.
In 1964Surgeon General’s report first laid out the 21 of smoking. Years later, in another report Dr Richard Carmona 22 the effects of secondhand smoke and said no one should be forced to inhale it.
“Secondhand smoke causes early death and disease in children and in 23 who do not smoke,” the report reads. “Children 24 to secondhand smoke are at an increased risk for sudden infant death syndrome（综合症）, acute respiratory（呼吸道） infections, and ear problems,” it adds.
Smoking by 25 causes respiratory symptoms and slows lung growth in their children. A 2005 report from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that 430 26 died every year in the United States from sudden infant death syndrome-all 27 by secondhand smoke.
States, 28 and other local authorities have battled over instituting（制定）smoking bans. Some 29 , especially bars and restaurants, have said they will lose business if smoking is completely banned. But the report said it is impossible to protect non-smokers even with designated smoking areas, and at least one report from California, which has strict bans, has shown no 30 on businesses.

Rubber ducks are being used to help scientists understand global warming and melting glaciers.

Japanese students, at 52 per cent, are most dissatisfied with modern society. Chinese and Koreans follow at second and 45 most dissatisfied.
“ 46 to the survey, Chinese students are happy and disciplined (有纪律的). They have a strong wish to make a difference. 47 Chinese students need to be more independent and learn how to relax,” said Sun.

Scientists find that hard-working people live longer than average men and women. Career women are 1 than housewives. Evidence (证据) shows that 2 are in poorer health than the job-holders. A study shows that whenever the unemployment (失业) rate increases by 1%，the death rate increases correspondingly (相应地) by 2%. All this comes down to one point: Work is helpful to heath.
Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy, _3 loneliness and solitude (孤独). Researches show that people feel unhappy, 4 and lonely when they have nothing to do.

III. Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Your cell phone holds secrets about you. Besides the names and 50 that you’ve programmed into it, traces of your DNA remain on it, according to a new study.
DNA is genetic material that appears in every cell. Like your fingerprint, your DNA is unique to you 51 you have an identical twin. Scientists today routinely analyze DNA in blood, saliva (唾液), or hair 52 behind at the scene of a crime. The results often help detectives identify 53 and their victims. Your cell phone can 54 more about you than you might think.
Meghan J. McFadden, a scientist at McMaster University1in Hamilton, Ontario, heard about a crime in which the suspect（嫌疑犯）bled onto a cell phone and later dropped the 55 . This made her wonder whether traces of DNA remained on cell phones ___ even when no blood was involved. 56 she and colleague Margaret Wallace of the City University of New York analyzed the flip-open phones(翻盖手机) of 10 volunteers. They used swabs(药签) to collect 57 traces of the users from two parts of the phone: the outside, where the user holds it, and the 58 , which is placed at the user’s ear.
The scientists scrubbed the phones using a solution made mostly of alcohol. The aim of washing was to 59 all detectable (可查明的) traces of DNA. The owners got their phones back for another week. 60 the researchers collected the phones and repeated the swabbing of each phone once more.
The scientists discovered DNA that 61 to the phone’s owner on each of the phones. Better samples were collected from the outside of each phone, but those swabs also 62 DNA of other people who had apparently also handled the phone. 63 , DNA showed up even in swabs that were taken immediately after the phones were scrubbed. That suggests that washing won’t remove all traces of evidence from a criminal’s device. So cell phones can now be added to the 64 of clues that can settle a crime-scene investigation.

Man-made Causes
Man-made causes probably do the most damage. There are many man-made causes. 21 is one of the biggest man-made problems. Pollution 22 in many shapes and sizes. Burning fossil fuels is one thing that causes pollution. Fossil(化石) fuels(燃料)are fuels made of organic matter such as coal, or oil. when fossil fuels are burned they 23 a green house gas called CO2. Also mining coal and oil allows methane to escape. How does it escape? Methane(甲烷)is 24 in the ground. 25 coal or oil is mined you have to dig up the earth a little. When you dig up the fossil fuels you dig up the methane as well.
Another major man-made 26 of Global Warming is population. More people 27 more food, and more methods of transportation, right? That means more methane because 28 will be more burning of fossil fuels, 29 more agriculture. Now you’re probably thinking, “Wait a minute, you said agriculture is going to be damaged by Global Warming, but 30 you’re saying agriculture is going to help cause Global Warming?” Well, have you 31 been in a barn filled with animals and you smell something 32 ? You re 33 methane. Another source of methane is manure. Because more food is needed we have to raise food. Animals like cows are a source of food which means more manure and methane. Another problem 34 the increasing population is 35 . More people means more cars, and more cares means more pollution. Also, many people have more than one car.
Since CO2 contributes to global warming, the increase in population makes the problem worse because we breathe out CO2. 36 , the trees that change our CO2 to oxygen are being demolished because we’re using the land that we cut the trees down from as property 37 our homes and buildings. We are not replacing the trees(an important part of our ecosystem), so we are 38 taking 39 of our natural resources and giving nothing back in 40 .

For some people, the sight of a mouse can be reason to scream. For other mice, the same sight can be reason to sing.
Mice will probably 21 sing their way to any concert, but researchers in the United States have found 22 that mice do, 23 , sing.
Scientists already knew that mice make ultrasonic(超声波) sounds—noises that are too high-pitched(高音的) for people to hear 24 special equipment.
To find out whether mice put such sounds together in song-like 25 , the researchers recorded the sounds of 1 mice. Using computer 26 , they were able to separate the sounds into specific types of syllables(音节), and found the mice produced about 10 syllables per second.
The results showed that nearly all of the mice repeated sequences(顺序) of syllables in different patterns. That’s enough to meet the definition of what scientists 27 song. But not all scientists are 28 _ that what the mice are doing is 29 singing. To prove it, the researchers must show that there’s learning involved. And, they need to __ 30 why the mice sing.

Of all living creatures on earth, insects are the most plentiful. Some 1 are very useful to man, for example, bees, 2 we get honey and wax, and silkworms, which 3 us with silk. Other varieties, 4 , are extremely harmful, and do a great 5 of damage, especially to crops. Locusts are perhaps the most dangerous of all, 6 they will eat almost any green 7 , and when millions of them 8 on cultivated land they soon leave it 9 . In some countries they are the farmers’ 10 enemy. Another nuisance is the common 11 , not only because it 12 us indoors and out-of-doors, but because it spreads diseases.
Scientists have given much time and 13 to the study of insects. It needs the most careful and 14 observation. Thanks 15 their discoveries we now know almost all 16 is to be known about the habits of these hardworking insects, bees and ants, which live in 17 better planned in some ways than our 18 . But the most valuable work has been done in trying to give 19 to men, animals and crops from the 20 which insects cause.
