Smoking in indoor public places including public working places, public transport vehicles and some other special outdoor working places has been banned(禁止)in China since January 2011.Let’s look at the following advantages of banning smoking.

First, banning smoking will not only help in saving smokers from health problems and diseases, but will also be good for passive(被动)smokers. When the smoker is smoking in a restaurant, the people around him are sure to breathe in the smoke and suffer from the diseases an active smoker gets. If smoking is banned, spread of these diseases can be controlled.

Next, banning smoking will put stress on smokers to give up. Since a smoker is prevented from smoking, he will learn how to live without smoking for long hours. When a smoker doesn’t smell or see anybody around him smoking, it might reduce his wish to smoke too. As a result, people have to give up smoking.

Smoking in public places influences non-smokers to start smoking, especially adolescents. When teens see people around them smoking, they will follow them easily. Thus the number of teen smokers will increase. Also asthma(哮喘)and other problems are often seen in children living around smokers. So if it is banned, these places will become safe for children and teenagers.

Looking from the economic point of view, smoking should be banned to increase work productivity(生产率).Employees(雇员)who smoke usually take breaks to smoke while working. So the number of hours they put in their work is smaller.

If you see from the environment point of view, smoking should be banned. Smoking causes air pollution. If it is banned, it will help keep the environment from getting worse.

1. ________doesn’t belong to a non-smoking place.

A.A field B.A hospital

C.A library D.A restaurant

2.The second paragraph mainly wants to tell us ______.

A. banning smoking is good for restaurants

B. banning smoking is good for non-smokers

Coffee has been a part of people’s lives for thousands of years, and today it is still a favourite drink of millions of people in the world. Coffee is so popular ,but do you know the story of coffee and how it was discovered?

There is an old story that says coffee was discovered in Africa long ,long time ago. One day, a farmer was watching his goats, and he saw them eat some small berries(干种子)from a plant. After they ate the berries, the goats became very active. The man often felt tired ,so he decided to try the berries too. Surprisingly, he did not feel tired any more. Coffee plants were thus discovered. Then coffee was taken from Africa to Arabia(阿拉伯半岛),and there it was first used as medicine. The Arabs kept coffee a secret for many years. Later ,coffee came to Turkey(土耳其),then Italy, then France. From Europe, the coffee plant was taken to America. People found that coffee plants grew well in many parts of South America, so large coffee farms were started, and many coffee plants were grown. On these farms, coffee beans were picked from the plants by hand. Then the beans were dried and prepared for market to sell. Different coffee beans were mixed together to produce different kinds of coffee. Coffee was sent to all over the world, and soon became very popular.
