15．

A new weapon is on the way in the fight against smoking in Europe．Soon when smokers buy cigarettes，they might see a shocking photo of a blackened lung or a cancer patient staring back at them from the packet．
Some boys may think of smoking as cool and sexy．Their friends won't agree when they see their packets of cigarettes lying on the table．
The European Union announced on October 22，that it had chosen 42photos that showed the damage cigarettes could do to the body．It called on member nations to put these pictures on packets to discourage young smokers．
To catch the attention of teenagers，the special packets warn of longterm medical dangers，like cancer．Shortterm effects，like bad skin，are also on the list．
"The true fact of smoking is disease，death and horror．That is the message we should send to the young，"said David Byrne，an EU health official．"Hopefully these pictures will shock students out of their love for cigarettes．"
The EU head office hoped the pictures would work better than written warnings on packs of cigarettes at present．The warning included"smoking kills"and"smoking can lead to a slow and painful death．"
So far，Ireland and Belgium have shown interest in the photos．Canada has used similar pictures and warnings on cigarette packs since 2000．The country has recently seen a fall in the number of smokers．

14．I ALMOST failed out of college and it nearly broke my self-confidence．I had been at the top of my high school class，the total golden child．So when I decided that I wanted to attend Columbia University for graduate school，I was sure it would be close to impossible．
My goals were to prove to myself that my years of academic success in secondary school had not happened by chance and prepare for a career in children's media．But first I had to get in．
So I enrolled （报名） in a GRE test prep course and threw myself into the class．The first part was pretty scary and by the third，I knew it wasn't going to get any easier．I reconsidered my plan to take the GRE．
For the first time in my life，I considered how I should go about getting into graduate school．What were my special skills？Would any of them get me into graduate school？
I got a job working on a project sponsored by the dean's （系主任的） office on campus and enrolled in a class．I had a new plan：Be a top student in the class while working on campus，get letters of recommendation from my boss and my professor，then hope that playing to my strengths like writing interesting papers would be enough for my application．
I worked my butt off （很努力工作） that semester．With finals approaching，I felt confident I would get an"A"in the course，so it was time for step two．I asked my boss to write a letter of recommendation．She immediately agreed．But my professor said no．She did not know me well enough and the semester was not completed．However，I decided I just would not take no for an answer．I asked if she would least write a short note unofficially supporting my application．After some uncomfortable conversations，she finally agreed．In the end，I got in!
I revisit that moment of persistence （执着） again and again．I have leapt into many other opportunities since then．Now I am starting a company born out of my graduate school research in children's media．Our first product is a mobile game for teen girls that breaks down major life milestones （里程碑） into missions （任务）．On its surface，the product helps girls connect with each other．But it also helps them develop the tools to live life without limits．

13．Hunting
The days of the hunter are almost over in India．This is partly because there is practically nothing left to kill，and partly because some steps have been taken，mainly by banning tiger-shooting，to protect those animals which still survive．
Some people say that Man is naturally a hunter．I disagree with this view．Surely out earliest forefathers，who at first possessed no weapons，spent their time digging for roots，and were no doubt themselves often hunted by meat-eating animals．
I believe the main reason why the modern hunter kills is that he thinks people will admire his courage in overpowering dangerous animals．Of course，there are some who truly believe that the killing is not really the important thing，and that the chief pleasure lies in the joy of the hunt and the beauties of the wild countryside．There are also those for whom hunting in fact offers a chance to prove themselves and risk death by design； these men go out after dangerous animals like tigers，even if they say they only do it to rid the countryside of a threat．I can respect reasons like these，but they are clearly different from the need to strengthen your high opinion of yourself．
The greatest big-game hunters expressed in their writings something of these finer motives（动机）．One of them wrote．
"You must properly respect what you are after and shoot it cleanly and on the animal's own territory（领地）．You must fix forever in your mind all the wonders of that particular day．This is better than letting him grow a few years older to be attacked and wounded by his own son and eventually eaten，half alive，by other animals，Hunting is not a cruel and senseless killing-not if you respect the thing you kill，not if you kill to enrich your memories，not if you kill to feed your people．"
I can understand such beliefs，and can compare these hunters with those who hunted lions with spears（矛） and bravely caught them by the tail．But this is very different from many tiger-shoots I have seen，in which modern weapons were used．The so-called hunters fired from tall trees or from the backs of trained elephants．Such methods made tigers seem no more dangerous than rabbits．

D．there are few animals left to hunt
26．The author thinks modern hunters kill mainlyB．
A．to make the countryside safe

D．to improve their health
27．What do we learn about the big-game hunters？C
A．They hunt old animals
B．They mistreat animals
C．They hunt for food
D．They hunt for money
28．What is the author's view on the tiger-shoots he has seen？A
A．Modern hunters lack the courage to hunt face-to-face
B．Modern hunters should use more advanced weapons
C．Modern hunters like to hunt rabbits instead of tigers
D．Modern hunters should put their safety first．
