Writing How long have human beings had speech ? Since there were human beings Do all spoken languages in the world have their written forms ?

There is too much carbon dioxide (CO2 ) in the air When oil, gas, and coal burn, they create large amounts of carbon dioxide We send five billion tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere every year This amount will double in fifty years This carbon dioxide lets sunlights enter the earth’s atmosphere and heat the earth However, it does not let as much heat leave the atmosphere and enter space It is like a blanket The heat can pass from the sun through the blanket to warm the earth The heat stays there and can not escape through the blanket again Scientists call this greenhouse effect A greenhouse is a building for growing plants It is made of glass or clear plastic QUESTIONS What is a greenhouse ?

Through the media and travel II In societies where people tend to live together in extended family groups, - consisting of grandparents, great uncles and aunts, parents, aunts and uncles, children and cousins, for example - care of both young and old is the natural function of the group The State is only needed when the efficiency of the group breaks down, because of illness or poverty, for example In Britain, however, people tend to live in nuclear family groups ( parents and children only ), with the result that the care of the old is a social problem and the State needs to intervene What is more, if the relationship between husband and wife breaks down, the children are immediately at risk, and State intervention may be necessary for them too Where parents care for their children, however, they usually take their responsibilities very seriously The British population is already one of the oldest in Europe, and it is slowly getting older In 1990 the median age in Britain was thirty-six but it will rise to forty-one by 2020 At the end of the 1990s the number of pensioners will begin to rise rapidly, and the workforce will shrink One result will be that by 2020 there will be twice as many people aged eighty-five or over as in 1990 A disproportionate number of the old, incidentally, choose to retire to the south coast and East Anglia, creating regional imbalances Questions : What is an extended family ?

IV The human race is spread all over the world, from the polar regions to the tropics The people of which it is made up eat different kinds of food, partly according to the kind of food which their countries produced Thus, in India, people live chiefly on different kinds of grain, eggs, milk, or sometimes fish and meat In Europe, people eat more flesh and less grain In the Arctic regions ,where no grain and fruits are produced, the Eskimo and other races live almost entirely on flesh , especially fat The man of one race is able to eat the food of another race, if they are brought into the country inhabited by the latter But as a rule, they still prefer their own food, at least for a time In warm climates flesh and fat are not much needed, but in the Arctic regions they seem to be very necessary for keeping up the heat of the body Questions: What kind of food they eat in Europe? 15 Why are flesh and fat needed in the Arctic regions?

II SECONDHAND SMOKE Most people know that cigarette smoking is harmful to their health Scientific research shows that it causes many kinds of diseases In fact, many people who smoke get lung cancer However, Edward Gilson has lung cancer, and he has never smoked cigarettes He lives with his wife, Evelyn, who has smoked about a pack of cigarettes a day throughout their marriage The Gilsons have been married for 35 years No one knows for sure why Mr Gilson has lung cancer Nevertheless, doctors believe that secondhand smoke may cause lung cancer in people who not smoke Nonsmokers often breathe in the smoke from other people’s cigarettes This is secondhand smoke Edward Wilson has been breathing this type of smoke for 35 years Now he is dying of lung cancer However, he is not alone The US Environmental Protection Agency reports that about fifty-three thousand people die in the United States each year as a result of exposure to secondhand smoke The smoke that comes from a lit cigarette contains many different poisonous chemicals In the past, scientists did not think that these chemicals could harm a nonsmoker’s health Recently, though, scientists changed their opinion after they studied a large group of nonsmokers They discovered that even nonsmokers had unhealthy amounts of these toxic chemicals in their bodies As a matter of fact, almost all of us breathe tobacco smoke at times, whether we realize it or not For example, we can not avoid secondhand smoke in restaurants, hotels, and other public places Even though many public places have nonsmoking areas, smoke flows in from the areas where smoking is permitted It is even 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 17 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 well-known law forbids people to smoke on short domestic airline flights, i.e., flights within the country After smoking for most of her life, Evelyn Gilson has finally quit She feels that if more people know about the dangers of secondhand smoke, they will stop, too Her decision comes too late to help her husband However, there is still time to protect the health of others, especially children, who live with smokers Questions: What may be a reason why Edward Wilson has lung cancer ? Probably he has been breathing secondhand smoke from his wife’s smoking during their marriage What is secondhand smoke ? It is the smoke from other people’s cigarette smoking Why might secondhand smoke harm nonsmokers ? Because it contains many different poisonous chemicals What are some laws that prohibit smoking in certain places ? They are laws that prohibit smoking in public places and on short domestic flights What is the main idea of this passage ?
