Although some people question whether smoking really affects ones productivity, it has, in fact, been proven that a smoker costs a company more th

19、an a non-smoker. According to Professor William Weis, a smoking employee costs his or her employer about $ 5,700 more a year than a never-smoker.

20、a great deal of employer costs. When the issue of smoking at the workplace is discussed, perhaps the most important problem is the health risk that smoking causes to both smokers and never-smokers.

21、ve smoking can cause lung cancer and other illnesses in healthy never-smokers. Passive smoking can be defined as exposure to secondhand tobacco smoke in enclosed areas. Anyone who has been with smokers indeed knows that their smoke can cause eye irritation (刺激) , coughing, headaches and throat soren

22、ess. While eye irritation may seem a small thing to some smokers, it nevertheless is a problem that occurs every workday in offices and break rooms and can lead to greater health problems. Employees who do not smoke should not be subjected(遭受) to the risks of passive smoking and need to be able to w

23、ork in a safe environment.

Around the holidays, many families dont consider taking prope

29、r measures to prevent their homes from suffering holiday thefts. With just a few simple steps, you can better make sure of the safety of your home during all of the holiday celebrations. Here are a few tips for making it difficult to tell you are away from home. Either have a trusted neighbor pick u

30、p your mail and newspapers, or tell your mailperson to hold your mail until you return. Nothing says “Hey, we are not home!“ like when your postbox is filled with all kinds of mails and you have many different newspapers in your driveway. Set several different lights in your house on random timers (

31、随机定时器). Dont leave your outdoor lights on all the time. Instead, put your outside lights on timers to be on during the nights. If an outdoor light remains on for days at a time it means that nobody is home to turn it off. If you have pets that you are not taking with you on vacation, leave them with

32、 a friend, rather than having someone come into your house every day to take care of them. When thefts see a neighbor or friend entering your house every day, they will know you are not home. Close all your curtains when you leave town. This is effective to deter possible thefts, as no one can see w

33、hat is in your house. If they dont know what is inside, then they are less likely to run the risk of breaking in. This article just has suggested a few tips to help you keep your house safe while you are on holiday. Nothing can truly protect your home unless you have it monitored by a professional h

34、ome security system.（分数：10.00）(1).What is the main idea of the passage?（分数：2.00）A.To tell us how to prevent the thefts around the holidays.B.To let the outdoor lights on all the time.C.To tell us many families suffering from the thefts while they are on holiday.D.To tell you to have your neighbor go

35、 to your house to take care of your pet.(2).If you are on holiday in other places, the lights in your house should_.（分数：2.00）A.be turned on only once one dayB.be kept on all the nightC.be replaced by random timersD.be lit in an irregular way(3).To make your home truly protected, what does the writer

37、ftsC.give a false impression on theftsD.be a little hard to be brought into effect(5).The underlined word “deter“ probably means “_“.（分数：2.00）A.discoverB.discourageC.surpriseD.attractIn Western countries people have been using the installment plan since the first half of the twentieth century. Today

38、, a large number of families in Great Britain buy furniture, household goods and cars by installments. In the US, the figure is much higher than in Great Britain, and people there spend over 10 percent of their income on the installment plan. The price of an article bought on installments is always

39、higher than the price that would be paid by cash. There is a charge for interest. The buyer pays one quarter or one third of the price as a down payment when the goods are delivered to him. He then makes regular payments, weekly or monthly, until the full price is paid up. The legal ownership of the

40、 goods remains with the seller until the final payment has been made. Installment buying has advantages and disadvantages. It can help couples with small incomes to furnish their homes and start housekeeping. It increases the demand for goods, and in this way helps business and employment. There is,

41、 however, the danger that when business is bad, installment buying may end suddenly, making business much worse. This may result in a great increase in unemployment. If the people on the installment plan lose their jobs, they will probably not be able to make their payments. If great numbers of peop

42、le are not able to pay their installment debts, there is a possibility that businessmen cannot collect their debts and will therefore lose money. If businessmen lose money or fail to make a satisfactory profit, it becomes more likely to have a depression. This is why, in some countries, the governme

43、nt controls the installment plan by fixing the amount of the down payment to discourage people from buying more than they can pay for on the installment plan.（分数：10.00）(1).Which of the following is TRUE about the installment plan?（分数：2.00）A.British families just use the installment plan to buy furni

44、ture.B.More than 10 precent American families buy things on installments.C.Americans spend more on installment buying than British people do.D.The payment of installment buying is easier than buying by cash.(2).Goods bought on installments are more expensive than goods bought by cash because_.（分数：2.

46、数：2.00）A.He might lose his job.B.He will stop owning the item he has bought.C.He will have to sell what he has bought.D.He will go into debt.(4).The advantages of installment buying might include all the followings EXCEPT that_.（分数：2.00）A.purchasing power is strengthenedB.employment might be increas

47、edC.people develop a good habit of saving moneyD.young couples are able to furnish their homes(5).In some countries, the government controls the installment plan to_.（分数：2.00）A.increase employmentB.avoid depressionsC.ensure that businesses make good profitsD.ensure that people can pay for what they
