"When their kids are 29 the house, they might smoke. Or they smoke in the car. Or they strap(用带子捆扎) the kid in the car seat in the back and crack the window and 30 , and they think it's okay because the second-hand smoke isn't getting to their 31 . We needed a term to describe these tobacco toxins that aren't 32 ."

But 37 fewer of those surveyed were aware of the 38 of third-hand smoke. Since the term is so new, the researchers asked people if they agreed with the statement that "breathing air in a room 39 where people smoked yesterday can harm the health of infants and children"。
Only 65 percent of nonsmokers and 43 percent of smokers agreed with that 40 , which researchers interpreted as acknowledgement of the risks of third-hand smoke.

I was unbelievably proud of my nine-year-old daughter, Emily. ________ to buy a mountain bike, she’d been saving her pocket money all year, as well as doing small jobs to earn extra money. By Thanksgiving, she had collected only $49. I said, “You ________ have your pick from my bicycle _ ________ .” “Thanks, Daddy. But your bikes are so old.” She was right. All my girls’ bikes were 1950s models, not the kind a kid today would ________ choose.
As Christmas ________ near, Emily and I went bike shopping. As we left one store, she ________ a Salvation Army（基督教慈善组织）volunteer standing next to a big pot. “Can we give something, Daddy?” she asked. “Sorry, em, I’m out of change.” I said.
Throughout December, Emily continued to ________ hard. Then one day, she made a ________ announcement. “You know all the money I’ve been saving?” she said hesitantly. “I’m going to give it to the poor people.” So one cold morning before Christmas, Emily handed her total savings of $58 to a volunteer who was really very ________ .
________ by Emily’s selflessness, I decided to contribute ________ of my old bicycles to a car dealer who was collecting used bikes for poor children. ________ I selected a shiny model from my collection, however, it seemed as if a second bike took on a glow（发光）.Should I contribute two? No, one would be enough. But I couldn’t ________ the feeling that I should give a second bike. When I later ________ the bikes, the car dealer said, “You’re making two kids very ________ , sir. Here are your tickets. For each bicycle contributed, we’re ________ away one chance to win a girls’ mountain bike.”
Why wasn’t I surprised when that second ticket proved to be the ________ ? I like to think it was God’s way of ________ a little girl for a sacrifice ________ her years---- while giving her dad a lesson in the ________.
