Tobacco is the second major cause of death in the world. It is responsible for the death of one in ten adults worldwide (about 5 million deaths each year). If current smoking patterns continue, it will cause some 10 million deaths each year by 2020. Half the people that smoke today, which is about 650 million people, will eventually be killed by tobacco.

Tobacco is the fourth most common risk factor for disease worldwide. The economic costs of tobacco use are equally devastating (ÆÆ»µÐÔµÄ). In addition to the high public health costs of treating tobacco-caused diseases, tobacco kills people at the height of their productivity, depriving (°þ¶á) families of breadwinners and nations of a healthy workforce. Tobacco users are also less productive while they are alive due to increased sickness. A 1994 report estimated that the use of tobacco resulted in an annual global net loss of 200 thousand million US dollars, a third of this loss being in developing countries.

Tobacco and poverty are closely linked. Many studies have shown that in the poorest households in some low-income countries as much as 10% of total household expenditure is on tobacco. This means that these families have less money to spend on basic items such as food, education and health care. It contributes to a higher illiteracy rate, since money that could have been used for education is spent on tobacco instead.

While residents of wealthy nations tend to have greater life satisfaction, new research shows that those living in poorer nations report having greater meaning in life.

These findings, published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological science, suggest that meaning in life may be higher in poorer nations as a result of greater religiosity (óÆÐÅ×Ú½Ì). As countries become richer, religion becomes less central to people¡¯s lives and they lose a sense of meaning in life.

¡°Thus far, the wealth of nations has been almost always associated with longevity, health, happiness or life satisfaction,¡± explains psychological scientist Shigehiro Oishi of the University of Virginia. ¡°Given that meaning in life is an important aspect of overall well-being, we wanted to look more carefully at differential patterns, correlates (Ïà¹ØÎï), and predictors for meaning in life.¡±

Oishi and colleague Ed Diener of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign investigated life satisfaction, meaning, and well-being by examining data from the 2007 Gallup World Poll, a large-scale survey of over 140,000 participants from 132 countries. In addition to answering a basic life satisfaction question, participants were asked: ¡°Do you feel your life has an important purpose or meaning?¡± and ¡°Is religion an important part of your daily life?¡±

The data revealed some unexpected trends: ¡°Among Americans, those who are high in life satisfaction are also high in meaning in life,¡± says Oishi. ¡°But when we looked at the societal level of analysis, we found a completely different pattern of the association between meaning in life and life satisfaction.¡±

When looking across many countries, Oishi and Diener found that people in wealthier nations were more educated, had fewer children, and expressed more individualistic attitudes compared to those in poorer countries ¡ª all factors that were associated with higher life satisfaction but a significantly lower sense of meaning in life.¡±

The data suggest that religiosity may play an important role: Residents of wealthier nations, where religiosity is lower, reported less meaning in life and had higher suicide rates than poorer countries.

According to the researchers, religion may provide meaning to life to the extent that it helps people to overcome personal difficulty and cope with the struggles of working to survive in poor economic conditions:

¡°Religion gives a system that connects daily experiences with the coherent whole (Á¬¹áµÄÕûÌå) and a general structure to one¡¯s life ¡­ and plays a critical role in constructing meaning out of extreme hardship,¡± the researchers write.

Oishi and Diener hope to reproduce these findings using more comprehensive measures of meaning and religiosity, and are interested in following countries over time to track whether economic prosperity gives rise to less religiosity and less meaning in life.

1.Which of the following questions couldn¡¯t the participants have answered?

A. Does your life have a purpose or meaning?

B. Do you have relatives living abroad?

C. Are you satisfied with your everyday life?

D. Is religion involved in your daily life?

2.Which of the following statements is true?

A. Those who have higher life satisfaction usually have lower sense of meaning in life.

B. People in wealthier nations were more educated, have fewer children and express less individualistic attitudes compared to those in poorer countries.

C. Religion may provide meaning to life in that people can get strong support from it in face of hardship.

D. Wealthy people are more likely to commit suicide than poor people.

3.What can be inferred from the passage?

A. The poorer a country is, the more religious its people are.

B. Economic prosperity gives rise to less religiosity and less meaning in life.

C. If you want to find meaning in life, you must practice a religion.

D. Meaning in life doesn¡¯t have much to do with the amount of wealth one possesses.

4.The main purpose of the passage is to explain the possible reason why __________.

A. greater life satisfaction leads to lower sense of meaning

B. residents of poorer nations enjoy greater meaning in life

C. residents of poorer nations are so religious

D. residents of wealthy nations have greater life satisfaction

Most children have ever heard their parents yell ¡°sit up straight!¡± or ¡°don¡¯t hang your head !¡± when they eat dinner. Nowadays, it is also heard around another activity ¡ª video games. Ten-year-old Owaish admits it takes him three to four hours a day to play games on his tablet computer. In addition, he plays for about two hours on the smart phone every day. As a result, he started suffering a serious pain in the neck around June or July. What¡¯s worse the pain has spread to the hand and back gradually, which makes his mother Mehzabin become concerned.

The doctors note the number of young children with the chronic pain(ÂýÐÔ²¡) in their necks, arms and shoulders is on the increase sharp in recent years . They are not aging, they haven¡¯t had an accident, the blood reports are fine, their X-rays are fine, and their MRIs are fine. Facts have proved that the pain is from the poor posture(×ËÊÆ) while they are playing video games on smart phones or other electronic devices. 19-year ¨Cold student Nida feels pain in the finger which holds the weight of her smart phone most of the day. Nida almost uses her smart phone 24/7, which means 24 hours a day, seven days a week, or all the time.

Health experts predict there will be not only physical£¨ÉíÌåµÄ£©but mental(¾«ÉñµÄ) problems resulting from the overuse of electronic devices. They encourage people to often take breaks and exercise from using computers, smart phones or other devices. Stand up! Stretch(ÉìÕ¹) the legs, back, shoulders and arms in all the possible directions. That¡¯s the most effective way and maybe the key to solving the problem completely. After all, the medication doesn¡¯t help sometimes.

1.What is Mehzabin worried about?

A. Her son has no table manners.

B. Her son¡¯s physical problems get worse.

C. Her son doesn¡¯t work hard at school.

D. Her son spends much money on games.

2.What do we know about the chronic pain?

A. Using a heavy smart phone will cause it.

B. Adults don¡¯t have the problem.

C. It is caused by the wrong body position

D. Children with it often have other diseases.

3.According to health experts, _______.

A. best treatment for the chronic pain is exercising

B. people must take medicine to cure the chronic pain

C. people should stop using smart phones

D. the chronic pain has nothing to do with one¡¯s mental health

4. What may be the best title for the text?

A. To Play Games Well, Sit Up Straight

B. Too Much Gaming Is A Pain In The Neck

C. How To Avoid The Pain In The Neck

D. How To Be More Fit By Playing Games
