During their lifetime, it can be expected that of these 3,000 about 23 will be murdered, 30 will die in traffic accidents, and nearly 750 will be killed by a smoking-related disease. The number of deaths attributed to cigarette smoking outweighs all other factors, whether voluntary or involuntary, as a cause of death.Since the late 1970s, when daily smoking among high school seniors reached 30 percent, smoking rates among youth have declined. While the decline is impressive, several important issues must be raised.First, in the past several years, smoking rates among youth have declined very little. Second, in the late 1970s, smoking among male high school seniors exceeded that among female by nearly 10 percent. The statistic is reversing. Third, several recent studies have indicate high school dropouts have excessively high smoking rates, as much as 75 percent .Finally, though significant declines in adolescent smoking have occurred in the past decade, no definite reasons for the decline exist. Within this context, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) began its current effort to determine the most effective measures to reduce smoking levels among youth.1. According to the author, the deaths among youth are mainly causedby _____.A. traffic accidentsB. smoking-related diseasesC. murderD. all of these2. Every day there are over _____young people who will becomeregular smoker.A. 75B. 23C. 30D. 3,0003. By "dropout" (in paragraph 3) the author means______.A. students who failed the examinationB. students who left schoolC. students who lost their wayD. students who were driven out of school4. The reason for the decline of adolescent smoking is that ________.A. NCI has taken effective measuresB. smoking is prevented among high school seniorsC. there are many smokers who have died of cancerD. none of these5. What is implied but not stated by the author is that ________.A. smoking rates among youth have declined very littleB. there are now probably more female than male smokers amonghigh school seniorsC. high smoking rates are due to the increase in wealthD. smokers at high school are from low socio-economic backgrounds1. 1.

(错误)Seven weeks after the powerful 8.0 earthquake claimed more than 70,000 lives in China, Gail McGovern, the new president and CEO of the American Red Cross is in China seeing the needs of the survivors.“The purpose of this trip is to build bridges and to ha ve an opening for a dialogue with the people of China,” McGovern said. “Just to tell them how important China is to our country and how much we want to help the people of China.”McGovern and David Meltzer, senior vice president ofInternational Services for the American Red Cross, along several other humanitarian organizations and leaders of corporations �C such as Procter and Gamble, Honeywell, Cisco, Chevron and Johnson & Johnson― traveled to China at the invitation of the U.S. Government’s Agency for Int ernational Development (USAID)On Monday in city of Yingxiu, they talked to students and teachers who survived the collapse of their schools during the quake.“By far the most heartbreaking, emotional sight that I saw was at the primary school where one young girl described the terror and what happened,” McGovern said. “She described losing her brother and losing her friend and the sounds; that was really the moment that it hit me: This isn’t just looking at construction, it’s looking at broken lives.”The American Red Cross has committed $20 million to help the earthquake survivors recover and sent two relief experts to the affected area. Later this week, another relief worker will be heading to China to work with the Red Cross Society in China to support longer-term recovery efforts and help determine additional needs.Although the recovery is fading from the headlines, greatneeds still remain. Even though McGovern has only been in her new position two weeks, she says meeting these survivors has reaffirmed her commitment to the organization.（共302字）1.
