It seems that many young people still think that smoking is cool. There are many reasons for this, for example, films．Many actors smoke in films and this can lead the young to think that smoking can be cool. But now, top actors and actresses are refusing the movies in which they are asked to smoke. So hopefully, the "cool" factor(因素) will become much smaller.

Many young people believe that smoking makes them look cool. It’s probably true that smoking helps them look older. Doctors say that not only sugar and alcohol(酒) but also smoking is bad for your skin(皮肤). Do you really want to see wrinkles(皱纹) on your face at a young age? Do you really think that smoking will make you as cool as you think ?  Do you really believe that he or she will like someone that smells like a factory? This is simply a bad idea.

Besides causing cancer(癌症), smoking will make you ugly and sad. So, boys and girls, forget about smoking! Don’t ever start. If you are smoking, give it up as quickly as you can. Why not lead a healthy life without smoking?

根据短文回答问题

1.Why do some young people think smoking is cool?

2.What can make people look older?

Every 14 days, another language dies. There are many reasons for this. Some people think more common languages have more economic(经济的)power. Because of this, young people choose to learn a common language as they think it is more useful. Another reason is that some languages aren't written down. Guujaaw is a leader of the Haida Nation, whose people have lived on the Queen Charlotte Islands, Canada, for more than 10, 000 years. Their language is endangered. Traditionally, it wasn’t written down, and, as a result, some people are worried that it will die one day. Guujaaw replies to this, "We talk to each other, listen, visit, and believe in the spoken word. Expressing yourself without writing is natural." However, if Guujaaw's language and others like it are going to stay alive, writing may have to become part of their lives.

When a language dies, a lot of knowledge dies with it. To begin with, language is a huge part of the culture of the people who speak it. Language allows speakers to say certain things: words that describe a cultural idea may not translate exactly into another language. Furthermore, many endangered languages have rich spoken cultures, Stories, songs and histories are passed on from older people to younger generations(一代), Elizabeth Lindsey, an expert in languages, emphasizes(强调) this. “When an elder dies, a library is burned,” she says.

Also, language death affects our knowledge about nature. Local people often have a deep understanding of plants, animals, and the relationship between them. David Harrison, a researcher on endangered languages, reflects, “80% of plant and animal species(物种)have been undiscovered by science. But that doesn’t mean they're unknown to humans.”

Many languages are endangered. However, it s not too late. Children often grow up speaking two languages. "No one ..becomes richer by giving up… one language to learn another,” Harrison said. If children feel both languages are important, they will use both. So, it is necessary that children realize how useful their local language is.

1.How many reasons are mentioned for endangered languages in Paragraph 1?

A. 2　　 B. 3.　　 C. 4　　 D. 5.

2.In Paragraph 2, the writer mainly tells us_____.

A. how cultures are passed on　　 B. how cultures are discovered

C. why languages are written down　　 D. why languages are important to cultures

3.The underlined word "affects" in the passage means “_______”.

A. waits for　　 B. depends on

C. is different from　　 D. has an influence on

4.Which of the following is the writer's opinion?

A. People need to use common languages more often.

B. The spoken word is more important than the written word.

C. Children are the hope to stop the local language from dying.

D. Many animals and plants are in danger because of dying languages.

American high schools have a dropout rate (辍学率) of up to 50%. There are many reasons for students leaving school:

● For two thirds of the dropouts, motivation (动力) is the problem. They can’t just work hard enough.

● Almost half of them said that they had missed so many classes that they could not follow any more.

● Many said that they were not ready well enough in their earlier school.

● For a third of them, getting a job is more important than finishing school.

High school dropouts have more problems in their future lives. They are more likely (可能的) to be out of work or live a poor life. There is also a big difference in income (收入) if you compare high school dropouts with graduates. A study shows Americans with a bachelor’s degree (学士学位) get about $50,000, those with a high school diploma about $28,000 and dropouts only about $20,000.

Many younger students do not understand the influence of dropping out of school. They often need better teachers, more lessons to get good grades in subjects and more help with learning problems. Some schools in America have changed this situation. Some schools offer evening classes or allow students to come back at a later age.

1.Some students think 　　 is more important than finishing school.

A. finding a job　　　 B. dealing with problems

C. making much money D. studying during work

2.The passage mainly tells us 　　 reasons that American high school students become dropouts.

A. 3　　　　　　　　 B. 4

C. 5　　　　　　　 D. 6

3.We can learn that high school dropouts 　　 than graduates in America.

A. work harder

B. take more subjects

C. make less money

D. are faced with fewer problems

4.What do we know from the last paragraph (段落)?

A. Most of the dropouts can’t work hard enough.

Manners are very important for our daily life. There are many different customs and habits among different countries. We must find out and follow their customs so that they will not think us ill-mannered. Here are examples of the things that a person with good education(教育) does or does not do. A person with good manners is always popular, but it is troublesome to a person with bad matters.

If you visit a Chinese family, you should knock at the door first. When the door opens, you will not move before the host says "Come in, please." After you enter the room, you would not sit down until the host asks you to take a seat. When a cup of tea is put on the tea table before you or sent to your hand, you should say "Thank you" and receive it with two hands, not one hand, or they will think you are ill-mannered. Before entering a house in Japan, it is good manners to take off your shoes. In European countries, even though shoes sometimes become very dirty, this is not done. In a Malay house, a visitor never finishes the food on the table. He leaves a little to show that he has had enough. In England, a visitor always finishes the drink or the food to show that he has enjoyed it. The host will be pleased with that.

You have to give your present in public in the Middle East to show it is not a bribe(贿赂). But it's good manners to give your present in private in Asia. You mustn't give knives in Latin America because it suggests that you want to cut off the relationship(关系). You mustn't give your food or drink to Arabia because it suggests that you think your host isn't offering you enough to eat and drink.

"Come any time" means "I want you to visit me" in India. If you don't suggest a time at once, the India will think you are refusing(拒绝) the invitation. But if an English people says "Come any time", they will think you are impolite if you start fixing(确定) a date.
