thousand people die in the United States each year as a result of exposure(暴露)to secondhand smoke.
It is harder for children to avoid secondhand smoke.In the United States,nine million children under the age of five live in homes with at least one smoker.Research shows that these children are sick more often than children who live in homes where no one smokes.The damaging effects of secondhand smoke on children also continue as they grow up.The children of smokers are more than twice as likely to develop lung cancer when they are adults as children of nonsmokers.The risk is even higher for children who live in homes where both parents smoke.
People are becoming very aware of the danger of secondhand smoke.As a result,they have passed laws that prohibit people from smoking in many public places.Currently,45 states in the United States have laws that restrict,or limit,smoking.The most wellknown law doesn’t allow people to smoke on short native airline flights,i.e.flights within the country.
36.Compared with nonsmokers’ children,the children whose parents both smoke are likely to____.
A) grow up more slowly B) be sick under the age of five
C) develop lung cancer more often D) become smokers more easily
37.Why are there laws made against smoking in public places in the U.S.?
A) Because people have realized the danger of secondhand smoke.
B) Because more and more people don’t like smoking now.
C) Because parents don’t want their children to become smokers.
D) Because the government wants to limit the production of cigarettes.
38.Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A) The number of smokers’ children is twice greater than that of nonsmokers’ children.
B) People are now not allowed to smoke on airline flights in the U.S..
C) Adults whose parents smoked when they were children get cancer more frequently.
D) Secondhand smoke is not as dangerous as firsthand smoke.

Task 2
Directions:This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45.
As working women continue to receive better and better wages,housewives still work at home without receiving paychecks. Should a woman who works at home,doing the housework and caring for children,be paid for her services?In a 1986 study at Cornell University,it was found that the value of the services of a housewife averaged ＄11，600 a year.This rate was based on a family composed of a husband,wife,and three young children.The ＄11,600 is what the husband would have to pay if he hired others to take over his wife’s household work. The researchers concluded that it would be fair for husbands to pay wives according to government guidelines(方针)for least amounts of wages.
Another plan for rewarding women who work at home has been suggested by Dr.Johnson,a former Secretary of Health and Human Services.He says that fulltime housewives should be allowed to pay social security taxes(社会保障金)，with their employers(that is ,their husbands) offering part of the payment.He feels that the present system is unfair.He said,“If you work in a store you can qualify for Social Security,but if you stay at home and raise a family,you can’t qualify for it.”
41.Now in the U.S.the women working outside home can get____.
A) the same pay as those doing housework
B) as much as their husbands
C) an average payment of ＄11，600 a year
D) more and more money
42.The researchers at Cornell University suggest that____.
A) husbands hire others to do their housework
B) husbands pay their wives for their work at home
C) policies be worked out on women’s wages
D) women go out to work instead of working at home
43.The expression“fulltime housewives”in paragraph 2 means____.
A) wives who can’t do any housework
B) wives who don’t like to stay at home
C) wives staying at home doing housework
D) wives working outside home sometimes
44.Why do some people feel that husbands should pay their wives for their housework?
A) Because husbands are employers.B) Because raising a family needs money.
C) Because wives’ work at home has its value.
D) Because wives can’t qualify for Social Security.
45.Why does Dr.Johnson think that the present system is unfair?
A) Husbands are paying the social security taxes for their wives.
B) Women working at home can’t get social security.
C) Bosses refuse to pay part of the taxes for female employees.
D) Fulltime housewives are required to pay social security taxes.
