The measure is part of a larger package of laws aimed at reducing tobacco use. If Gover
2、nor Jerry Brown signs the bill, California will become the second state, after Hawaii, to raise the age limit for buying cigarettes and other tobacco products. More than 100 cities in the U.S., including New York and Boston, have already raised the age limit. A week ago, the California Assembly appr
3、oved the measure, whichin addition to raising the age limittreats electronic cigarettes the same as tobacco products, expands smoke-free areas, increases smoking bans and allows counties to collect higher taxes on cigarettes than the 87-cent per pack state tax. The Assembly“s vote came a few days af
4、ter the city of San Francisco increased the age to buy tobacco products to 21. California lawmakers passed the bill despite lobbying (游说) from tobacco interests. The measure also faced opposition from many Republicans, who said the state should not be involved in policing people“s personal choices.
5、“I don“t smoke. I don“t encourage my children to,“ said Republican Assemblyman Donald Wagner. “But they“re adults, and it“s our job to treat our citizens as adults.“ But supporters of the bill say raising the age to 21 moves legally purchased tobacco that much farther from younger kids. “This will s

When she was growing up
11、, women could not go to medical school. (77) So how did she become a doctor? She simply pretended that she was a man. No one knows Dr. Barry“s real name, her birth date, of her family“s background. Some records show that she was born in 1795 in London. Some people say she was the daughter of a rich
12、man or a royal prince. One fact we know is that in 1810, James Barry became a medical student at the University of Edinburgh. James Barry“s classmates made fun of her because she didn“t have a beard and she was only five feet tall. But no one thought she was a girl. At the age of 20, James Barry gra

14、the army physical examination. For the next 45 years, Dr. James Barry was a British officer and a successful surgeon. Everyone admired her. She began to do a lot of important work for the army. (78) At that time, England had many colonies around the world. Dr. Barry spent a lot of time in foreign co
15、untries. She travelled to India, Corfu, Malta, and Jamaica. In 1856 she went to South Africa, and she was soon known as the best doctor and surgeon in the colony.

The eighth-grader was inspi
20、red to kick off his mission on a recent morning, when his mother was driving him to school. Their car was damaged as it went over a huge pothole in the middle of the street in their hometown of Jackson, Mississippi. “I decided I was going to do something about the pothole problem in my city,“ Chokwe
21、 says. His solution: an app(手机应用) that warns drivers when there is a pothole ahead. Chokwe developed the app with his friends Rodriguez Ratliff and Emmanuel Brooks. “When the app detects a potheole, it is highlighted (突出显示) in red,“ Chokwe says. “And if you get close to the pothole, your phone will
22、warn you.“ Drivers can also use the app to report any potholes they encounter, and to look for other routes they can take to avoid roads that have them. The app relies on current available information about the streets of Jackson. “It works by using the city“s 311 call system, so it uses information
23、 already stored in a database,“ Chokwe says. (79) Through the call system, citizens dial 3-1-1 to report non-emergency problems which include potholes. Chokwe and his friends determined that focusing on the 10 busiest streets in Jackson would give them a large enough sample size to test the prototyp
24、e(原型). (80) Although the app isn“t yet available for sale, Chokwe is already looking for ways to improve it. The prototype remains limited to 10 streets in Jackson, but he hopes to add more, so that it includes every street in the city. And then he wants to go even farther. “I want to keep working o
