Medical authorities express their 【B1】 about the effect of smoking on the health not only 【B2】 those who smoke but also of those who

6、do not. In fact, nonsmokers who must involuntarily inhale the air polluted by the tobacco smoke may 【B3】 more than the smokers themselves. As you are doubtless aware, a considerable number of our students have 【B4】 an effort to 【B5】 the university to ban smoking in the classrooms. I believe they are

7、 entirely right in their aim. 【B6】 .I would hope that it is possible to achieve this by 【B7】 on the smokers to use good judgment and show concern for others rather than 【B8】 regulation.

11、of them. Knowing where to look for information and 【B3】 to expect in a book can greatly increase your ability to use all the information there. Explanations of and practice using some of these textbook parts and 【B4】 are covered in these even numbered lessons. The features in textbooks are 【B5】 into

12、 the following three categories. Front matter is the 【B6】 -numeral paginated section at the front of most books. The text is the main body of the book. The 【B7】 matter comprises the additional sections at the back of most books. 【B8】 our discussion of these three sections will deal mainly with textb

15、 and the roots of our habits and skills are to be 【B2】 in our past experiences, which are brought into the present 【B3】 memory. Memory can be defined as the capacity to keep 【B4】 available for later use. It includes not only “remembering“ thing like arithmetic or historical facts, but also any chang

16、e in the way an animal typically behaves. Memory is 【B5】 when a rat gives up eating grain because he has sniffed something suspicious in the grain pile. Memory is also involved when a six year old child learns to swing a baseball bat. Memory 【B6】 not only in humans and animals but also in some physi

17、cal objects and machines. Computers, for example, contain devices for storing data for later use. It is interesting to compare the memory storage capacity of a computer 【B7】 that of a human being. The instant access memory of a large computer may hold up to 100,000 “words“ ready for 【B8】 use. An ave

18、rage American teenager probably recognizes the meanings of about 100,000 words of English. However, this is but a fraction of the total 【B9】 of information which the teenager has stored. Consider, for example, the number of facts and places that the teenager can recognize on sight. The use of words

19、is the basis of the advanced problem solving intelligence of human beings.

21、those who have higher educations and 【31】 careers with higher incomes. The increase in DINK families has shattered the Chinese traditional idea of the family and 【32】 typical. A survey conducted recently in Beijing by a market survey company 【33】 that about 33 percent of the 1,300 surveyed families

22、in Beijing said they have 【34】 plans to have children. It is estimated there about 600,000 DINK families in large cities like Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Chongqing. Why they choose such a lifestyle is concluded in 【35】 reasons. Some are showing great worry for the rapid growth of popula

23、tion; some are indulged in building a more well-off family; some are showing sharp 【36】 to get themselves free from the obligation of raising children. 【37】 , most people still believe it is necessary to bear a child to keep the family line on. As an old Chinese saying goes: There are three aspects

24、in failing to be a filial son and the 【38】 serious one is to have no heir for the family. So, childless couples will suffer discrimination 【39】 family members and neighbors.

28、 in class. 【B5】. teachers often expect independent learning 【B6】 their students. It will be most appreciated if a student can 【B7】 the initiative and complete the assignment without too much 【B8】 upon his or her instructors.
