first cigarette on their way to becoming regular smokers as adults. During their lifetime,it can be expected that of these 3000 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 outweithts 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 precent , 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.

The statistic is reversing.Third ,several recent studies have indicate high school dropouts have excessively high smoking rates, as much as 75 percent .

t of the great performers if the late 19th and early 20th centuries were born and brought up in Russia and Eastern Europe. I asked Isaac Stern, one of the world&39;s greatest violinists the reason for this phenomenon. "It is very clear," he told me. "They were all Jews(犹太人) and Jews at the time were severely oppressed and ill treated in that part of the world. They were not allowed into the professional fields, but they were allowed to achieve excellence on a concert stage. " As a result, every Jewish parent&39;s dream was to have a child in the music school because it was a passport to the West. ?

Another element in the emergence of prodigies, I found, is a society that values excellence in a certain field to nurture (培育) talent. Nowadays, the most nurturing societies seem to be in the Far East. "In Japan, a most competitive society, with stronger discipline than ours. " says Isaac Stem, children are ready to test their limits every day in many fields, including music. When Western music came to Japan after World War Ⅱ, that music not only became part of their daily lives, but it became a discipline as well. The Koreans and Chinese as we know, are just as highly motivated as the Japanese?

That&39;s a good thing, because even prodigies must work hard. Next to hard work,biological inheritance plays an important role in the making of a prodigy. J. S. Bach, for example, was the top of several generations of musicians, and four of his sons had significant careers in music.

Jewish parents in Eastern Europe longed for their children to attend music school because ______ .

A.it would allow them access to a better life in the West

B.Jewish children are born with excellent musical talent

C.they wanted their children to enter into the professional field

D.it would enable the family to get better treatment in their own country

Nurturing societies as mentioned in the passage refer to societies that ______ .A.enforce strong discipline on students who want to achieve excellence

B.treasure talent and provide opportunities for its full development

C.encourage people to compete with each other

D.promise talented children high positions

Japan is described in the passage as a country that attaches importance to ______ .A.all-round development.

B.the learning of Western music

C.strict training of children

D.variety in academic studies

Which of the following contributes to the emergence of musical prodigies according to the passage?A.A natural gift.

B.Extensive knowledge of music.

C.Very early training.

D.A prejudice-free society.

Which of the following titles best summarises the main idea of the passage?A.Jewish Contribution to Music.

ch; a drive through a narrow village street lined with thatched cottages painted pink or white; the sight over the rolling hills of a pretty collection of thatched farm buildings-these are still common sights in parts of England. Most people will agree that the thatched roof is an essential part of the attraction of the English countryside.

Thatching is in fact the oldest of all the building crafts practised in the British Isles(英伦诸岛). Although thatch has always been used for cottage and farm buildings, it was once used for castles and churches, too.

Thatching is a solitary(独自的) craft, which often runs in families. The craft of thatching as it is practised today has changed very little since the Middle Ages. Over 800 full-time thatchers are employed in England and Wales today, maintaining and renewing the old roofs as well as thatching newer houses. Many property owners choose thatch not only for its beauty but because they know it will keep them cool in summer and warm in winter.

In fact, if we look at developing countries, over half the world lives under thatch, but they all do it in different ways. People in developing countries are often reluctant to go back to traditional materials and would prefer modern buildings. However, they may lack the money to allow them to import the necessary materials. Their temporary mud huts with thatched roofs of wild grasses often only last six months. Thatch which has been done the British way last from twenty to sixty years, and is an effective defence against the heat . Which of the following remains a unique feature of the English countryside?

A.Cottages with thatched roofs.

B.Churches with cottages around them.

C.Rolling hills with pretty farm buildings.

D.Narrow streets lined with pink or white houses.

B.It is in most cases handed down among family members.

C.It is practised on farms all over England.

D.It is a collective activity.

Thatched houses are still preferred because of ________.A.their durability

B.their easy maintenance

C.their cheap and ready-made materials

D.their style and comfort

People in developing countries also live under thatch because ______.A.they like thatched houses better than other buildings

B.thatch is an effective defence against the heat

C.thatched roof houses are the cheapest

D.thatched cottages are a big tourist attraction

We can learn from the passage that _______.A.the English people have a special liking for thatched houses
