The number of smokers in England is about 8 million. According to the Department of Health, smoking is the biggest cause of early death in the country. Smokers in England have been asked to give up smoking for 28 days this month, in an action backed by Cancer Research UK and the British Heart Foundation.
Research shows people who manage not to light up for this length of time are 5 times more likely to kick the habit. Public health experts say campaigns that include a combination of hard-hitting ads and supportive messages work best.
Quitting smoking can be difficult. However, people are much more likely to succeed if other people are doing the same than if they try to do it alone and go cold turkey. Robert West, Director of Tobacco Studies at University College London, points out how pressure from people around can prevent a smoker going on smoking. “We are social animals,” he said.
The action has met some doubts among readers of the BBC News Online website. Some compared it to asking people to stop eating as a way of fighting overweight. Others doubt the action’s effectiveness. “Its weakness is that it fails to explain why a person smokes, and the reasons are as many as the number of smokers”, says someone who signed as BluesBerry.
Another reader, Cazz, has decided to give it some credit. He says:“ Campaigns like this won’t necessarily inspire the majority of smokers to quit, but may encourage those thinking about quitting to set a date and try. Surely it’s worth a shot. ”
1.What does the text mainly talk about?
A．A new action to quit smoking.
B．A way of fighting overweight.
C．A country with the most smokers.
D．The biggest cause of early death.
2.The underlined phrase “go cold turkey” in the third paragraph means “_______”.
A．buy a cold turkey B．eat too much food C．stop a bad habit D．get much support
3.Why is it easier to stop smoking when other people are doing the same?
A．Because people usually respect each other.
B．Because they’re faced with the same pressure.
C．Because people are influenced by each other.
D．Because they keep the same animals as pets.
4.What’s Cazz’ s attitude in the last paragraph?
A．Distant． B．Doubtful． C．Surprised． D．Approving

When my grandmother died at the age of 96, there were two things she left behind in abundance---nearly 100 photo albums documenting decades of travel and home life, and a dozen quilts, one of which my mother gave me.
Quilting is the process of sewing together fabric(作料)to make one large piece of fabric. In my family，quilting and sewing is a tradition that has been passed down through the generations. My mother says her great-grandmother would occasionally travel around New York State to sew clothing for other families.
In the United States，quilting was a craft(手艺)that started as a necessity and eventually became much more. In 1862, the U.S. government offered millions of acres of land to Americans who wanted to move west. This allowed families to settle on land that that could eventually own. They often built their own homes and lived off the vegetables in their gardens and the livestock they had. Sewing was very important for women because they were responsible for clothing their families and keeping them warm.
Quilting also became a chance for women to socialize with each other.They would gather for so-called “quilting bees”，where they would meet up and work on one quilting project together. This provided a much-needed relief from the lonely life of living on a large piece of land.
Throughout history, the different patterns on American quilts have conveyed all kinds of information. From then，we can tell where a person lived，what region of the world they originated from, or sometimes a story is told in pictures on a quilt.
Even today，women still gather to quit together in a show of friendship and a love for the craft，just like the old days.My sister has tried quilting a few times，and hopefully，her two daughters may one day continue this family tradition.
1.What do we know about quilting？
A. It is a lost traditional craft.
B. It is a major means of making a living in the USA.
C. It is a craft that has become a cultural symbol.
D. It was a way to carry on the American history.
2.What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3？
A. Introduce a new topic for discussion.
B. Summarize the previous paragraphs
C. Add some background information.
D. Praise the U.S.government's policy.
3.What does the underlined word“this”in paragraph 4 refer to？
A. Working on the land.
B. Participating in“quilting bees”.
C. Designing a quilting project.
D. Clothing the family.
4.What is the author's purpose in writing the text？
A. To instruct how to sew together fabric.
B. To show the author's skills of quilting.
C. To tell about the struggle of women.
D. To appeal for preservation of quilting.
