3.The number of smokers in England is about 8 million.According to the Department of Health,smoking is the biggest cause of early death in the country.Smokers in England have been asked to give up smoking for 28 days this month,in an action backed by Cancer Research UK and the British Heart Foundation.
    Research shows people who manage not to light up for this length of time are 5 times more likely to kick the habit.Public health experts say campaigns that include a combination of hard-hitting ads and supportive messages work best.
Quitting smoking can be difficult.However,people are much more likely to succeed if other people are doing the same than if they try to do it alone and go cold turkey.Robert West,Director of Tobacco Studies at University College London,points out how pressure from people around can prevent a smoker going on smoking."We are social animals,"he said.
The action has met some doubts among readers of the BBC News Online website.Some compared it to asking people to stop eating as a way of fighting overweight.Others doubt the action's effectiveness."Its weakness is that it fails to explain why a person smokes,and the reasons are as many as the number of smokers",says someone who signed as BluesBerry.
Another reader,Cazz,has decided to give it some credit.He says:"Campaigns like this won't necessarily inspire the majority of smokers to quit,but may encourage those thinking about quitting to set a date and try.Surely it's worth a shot."
63.What does the text mainly talk about?A
A.A new action to quit smoking.
B.A way of fighting overweight.
C.A country with the most smokers.
D.The biggest cause of early death.
64.The underlined phrase"go cold turkey"in the third paragraph means"C".
A.buy a cold turkey    
B.eat too much food    
C.stop a bad habit        
D.get much support
65.Why is it easier to stop smoking when other people are doing the same?C
A.Because people usually respect each other.
B.Because they're faced with the same pressure.
C.Because people are influenced by each other.
D.Because they keep the same animals as pets.
66.What's Cazz's attitude in the last paragraph?D

14.You're in a department store and you see a couple of attractive young women looking at a sweater.You listen to their conversation:"I can't believe it-a Lorenzo Bertolla!They are almost impossible to find.Isn't it beautiful?And it's a lot cheaper than the one Sara bought in Rome."
They leave and you go over to see this incredible sweater.It's nice and the price is right.You've never heard of Lorenzo Bertolla,but those girls looked really stylish.They must know.So,you buy it.You never realize that those young women are employees of an advertising agency.They are actually paid to go from store to store,talking loudly about Lorenzo Bertolla clothes.
Every day we notice what people are wearing,driving and eating.If the person looks cool,the product seems cool,too.This is the secret of undercover marketing.Companies from Ford to Nike are starting to use it.
Undercover marketing is important because it reaches people that don't pay attention to traditional advertising.This is particularly true of the MTV generation-consumers between the age of 18and 34.It is a golden group.They have a lot of money to spend.but they don't trust ads.
So advertising agencies hire young actors to"perform"in bars and other places where young adults go.Some people might call this practice deceptive(骗人的),but marketing manager Jonathan Ressler calls it creative."Look at traditional advertising.Its effectiveness is decreasing."
However,one might ask what exactly is"real"about of young women pretending to be enthusiastic about a sweater?Adverting managers would say it's no less real than an ad.The difference is that you know an ad is trying to persuade you to buy Something.You don't know when a conversation you overhear is just a performance.

59.The two attractive young women were talking so that they couldB.
A.get the sweater at a lower price      B.be heard by people around
C.be admired by other shoppers          D.decide on buying the sweater
60.Lorenzo Bertolla isD.
A.the name of a popular singer          B.an advertising agency
C.a clothing company in Rome            D.the brand name of a sweater
61.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?C
A.The two girls are in fact employed by the Lorenzo Bertolla Company.
B.The MTV generation tend to be more easily influenced by ads.
C.Traditional advertising is becoming less effective because it's too direct.
D.Undercover marketing  will surely be stopped soon by the government.
60.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?D
A.Two Attractive Shoppers     B.Lorenzo Bertolla Sweaters
C.Ways of Advertising         D.Undercover Marketing.
11.The UK government is considering removing"Best Before"dates on food packaging in the country,in order to prevent throwing away of million tons of eatable produce worth£6bn each year.
According to the Waste and Resources Action Program,British families throw away 8.3million tons of food and drink a year,while most of it ends up in garbage sites.It is reported that more than 5million tons of the thrown-away food still remains eatable.
"Best Before"(BB) is not the same as"Use By"(UB).BB is about quality not safety.UB is the key date in terms of safety."Best Before"indicates the date before which a product provides the most satisfying experience for the consumer.It's safe to eat,but it just won't be at their best.By contrast,"UB"dates show when food is no longer safe and should be thrown away.One exception is eggs,which should not be eaten after their"BB"dates because they can contain salmonella bacteria,which could multiply.By law,pre-packed food must show a"BB"date.
The government will set down new policies that will provide better information for shoppers and stop them from throwing away food before it is even opened.Under the new policies,sellers will have to produce labels (标签) that will give accurate information of the health risks associated with foods that remain on shelves,or in the fridge for a certain period before being eaten.Seafood and eggs,for example,would be more likely to carry warnings of potential risks of food poisoning if they were eaten after a certain date.Bread,however,where risks would be smallest,would carry much simpler labels.
In order to reduce food waste,scientists at Strathclyde University are developing a plastic packaging,which will be on the shelves within two years.The advanced packaging can tell when meat,fish or salad leaves have passed their UB dates or have been left out of the fridge for too long.

60.The UK government is planning to remove BB dates in an attempt toA.
A.reduce food waste                   B.improve food package
C.introduce UB dates                  D.offer advice on keeping food
61."Best Before"is a date whichC.
A.will apply to all kinds of food         B.indicates when food is to go off
C.concerns quality rather than safety     D.gives full information on potential risks
62.Which would carry the least health risk information on the labels?A
A.Bread.  B.Seafood.  C.Meat.  D.Salad leaves.
63.Which would be the best title for the passage?D
A.Food Safety Policy in UK        B."Best Before"or"Use By"?
C.Food Waste:Who Is to Blame?D.UK to Remove"BB"Food Labels.
18.April 22,2010 will be the 18th celebration of the annual Take Our Daughters to Work Day (TOD),a project the National Ms.Foundation for Women of America (NFW) developed to expose girls to expanding opportunities for women in the workplace.
         The program offers,millions of girls a first-hand view of the many career opportunities available in their futures.Now that women make up 46 percent of the U.S.workforce,girls can find role models in every occupational field-from politics to molecular biology to professional athletics,to name just a few.TOD encourages girls to focus on their abilities and opportunities,not just their appearance.
         The NFW developed the project more than a decade ago to address the self-esteem problems that many girls experience when they enter adolescence.At school,boys often receive more encouragement in the classroom,especially in math.science and computer science,the academic fields that tend to lead to the highest salaries.Women receive on average only 73 cents for every dollar that men are paid.and remain vastly underrepresented (数量不足) in top executive positions and technology fields.TOD aims to give girls the confidence and inspiration they need to develop successful careers,particularly in non-traditional fields.
         Perhaps because the program had become so widespread and successful,TOD had been criticized for excluding boys,and it was expanded in 2003to include boys.The program's official website states that the program was changed in order to provide both boys and girls with opportunities to explore careers at an age when they are more flexible in tenns of gender stereotyped roles."We should also show boys that becoming a child care provider is as acceptable a choice as becoming a police officer or CEO,"added Sara K.Gould.executive director of the NFW.

Most of the cave art that has been discovered has been found in Spain and France.A smaller number of such caves are located in Italy,Portugal,Russia,and other countries.Scientists believe that many more caves will be discovered in the coming years,and are concentrating their efforts on Africa and the area between Europe and Asia.These two regions of the world were,populated first by humans.
Cave art was carved or painted on the walls and roofs of caves,usually near the entrance.The entrance area was probably chosen to take advantage of daylight and to allow many people to view the paintings.In some cases,the art appears much deeper in caves and requires artificial light.Evidence suggests that the artists used torches or shallow bowls in which animal fat was burned.

Re:If u won﹩50,000,000would u still go to college?
I would surely still go to college if I had that much money,but I would not be competing for a scholarship on collegenet.com.I would probably still discuss things here and I would create other scholarships to help other people to go to college as well.

I would  pay off my loans as well as my boyfriend's loans and help out a couple of friends who are having trouble with money.
Re:If u won﹩50,000,000would u still go to college?
I would still go to college.The only difference is with that much money to go to college I probably would stay in college longer and pursue a few extra degrees while I am there.I am looking for knowledge not money.The only problem is I need money to pursue knowledge.
Also I could set up scholarship funds and I could save some more for additional dreams that I have.
