given in the passage.
Smoking in indoor public places including public working place, public transportation vehicles and
some other special outdoor working spaces has been banned in China since January 2011. Should
smoking be banned in public places? Of course, it should be. First, banning smoking in public places
will not only help in saving smokers from various kinds of heath conditions and diseases, but will also
be beneficial for passive smokers.
Second, banning smoking in public places will put pressure on smokers to quit. Since a smoker is
forbidden from smoking in public places, he will learn how to live without smoking a cigarette for long
hours. Moreover, when a smoker doesn"t see anybody around him smoking or smelling of cigarette, it
might reduce his urge to smoke too. Thus, people have to quit smoking as a result of smoking ban.
Smoking in public places influences nonsmokers to take up smoking, especially adolescents. Since
teens are in an impressionable age, when they see people around them smoking, they get encouraged to
try it and then it becomes a habit, increasing the incidence of teen smoking. Moreover, asthma(哮喘)
and ear infections are commonly seen in children who live around smokers, so if it"s banned in public
places, these places will become safe for children and teens, healthwise.
Looking from the economic point of view, since smoking is a major contributing factor to many
diseases, it leads to absence from work. Moreover, employees who smoke tend to take breaks now
and then to smoke, thus cutting back on their working hours. So, if employers want to increase work
productivity and want to make sure that their employees remain healthy, they should ban and stop
smoking in and around offices.
At last, smoking cigarettes adds to the pollution of the air, so if it is banned, it will help in saving the
environment from further deterioration(恶化).

The atmosphere is very important to life on this planet because, firstly, it acts as a system for cycling and recycling carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and hydrogen; living things transform these elements into sources of carbohydrates and proteins for nourishment(营养). Secondly, it protects us from invisible threats such as the harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun. Thirdly, it protects the Earth"s surface from rapid heating during the day and rapid cooling down at night. Lastly, it provides us with the air we breathe as it is our basic life support system; every breath we take requires oxygen in the air.
However, human activities are causing the emission of harmful gases into the atmosphere. This has resulted in many environmental and health problems. Urban air pollution, acid rain, contamination by toxic chemicals, the lessening of the stratospheric ozone layer and changes in the global climatic system are all important environmental threats to the atmosphere.
Air pollution
Our planet is becoming choked with poisonous gases mostly from our daily activities like driving cars, warming out house and running power stations. And pollution doesn"t need a passport to travel around the world.
Ozone depletion
For years, chlorofluorocarbons(CFCs)were used as a cooling device in freezers and air conditioners. CFCs destroy the ozone layer, the layer that filters(过滤)ultraviolet radiation from the sun which causes eye damage and skin cancer.
The greenhouse effect
As more greenhouse gases released in the atmosphere reflect more heat back to the Earth, it causes a rise in temperature, beyond that which is considered to be normal. Rising temperature will cause the climate change, which may lead to more natural disasters, extinction(灭绝)of some animals and plants. Additionally, while passing through surface, some is lost in space. Greenhouse gases reflect back some solar energy and make the atmosphere hotter.
Humans are damaging the atmosphere, which serves to be our coat. One day it deserves their right. And the world is warming up, the polar icecaps to melt, sea levels to rise and extreme weather conditions to occur more frequently.

an emotional eater, you"ll still turn to food if you don"t deal with your feelings.
Basically, emotional eating is eating for reasons other than hunger.In other words, rather
than reach for food because your body needs it, you are addicted because your emotions
need to be satisfied. Instead of the gradual urge you get when you"re physically hungry,
emotional eating strikes you suddenly.Instead of filling the emotional empty space with
healthy choices, emotional eaters use food for comfort, ice cream or chocolate for women
and steak and French fries for men.
Besides blowing up your stomach, emotional eating does harm to your mind. When
you eat for physical reasons you don"t feel guilty.But when you grab for food when you"re
not even hungry, just because you"re feeding your emotions, you feel guilty afterward.
A good rule of thumb when you"re lured(诱惑)into emotional eating is to remember
to HALT.
"H" is for hungry-Sometimes you can feel physical hunger when you"re on the point
of an emotional eating.But rather than reaching for those comfort foods loaded with fats,
and sugar, make better choices such as proteins, fruits and vegetables.
"A" is for anxious-It"s easy to fall into emotional eating when you"re worried and tense.
Rather than turning to food, do whatever work to calm your nerves.Call a friend, pray, or
keep a record of your feelings.Just don"t reach into the fridge.
"L" is for lonely-Too often emotional eaters use food for companionship.Instead of
comforting yourself with food, join a group of caring people who understand your problem.
Twelvestep groups such as Overeaters Anonymous are excellent for connecting with
others who struggle with you the same food addictions as you do.Not only will you receive
tools for recovery, but you"ll also realize you"re not alone.
"T" is for tired-When exhausted, either physically or emotionally, emotional eaters turn
to food. Instead, get some rest or eat something good for you.
Most importantly, find out the reason(s) why you overeat.It"s not so much what you
eat, but what"s eating you.Unless you get to the root of why you overeat you won"t
conquer your food addiction.

| Doctors say anger can be an very harmful emotion(情绪)unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that angry feelings can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer. Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, losing control of themselves. But other people repress their anger. They cannot or will not express it. For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person"s health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain gives off the same hormones(激素)that are produced during tense situations. They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood and narrow the blood vessels(脉管)to the interstices(空隙). In general, the person feels excited and ready to act. Doctors said that repressing these feelings only makes the feelings continue. And this can lead to many medical problems. Doctors thought a person could prevent these problems by letting the anger out by expressing it freely. But recently some doctors held a different view. They said that people who express anger repeatedly and violently did become, in fact, more and not less angry.They said this, too, can cause medical problems. Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure. Doctors say the solution(解决办法)is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to  admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, and then decide if the cause is serious. If it is, they say: "Do not express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably. " | |

| 任务型读写。 阅读下面短文,根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词, 每个空格只填一个单词. Many students eat their breakfasts on the way to school or in the dinning-room. But some of them don"t really know how to eat well when eating out. Here is some important advice. The first is to eat less fast food. The most obvious harm of eating too much fast food is weight gaining because of too much fat. Young people and adults are at risk of disease related to weight. Too much fast food can drag your body down. French fries, for example, were recently found to contain much more acrylamide(丙烯酰胺) than other food. This may cause cancer. Actually, deep fried food all contains acrylamide. So don"t eat it too often. Soda is another thing you should watch out for. Cokes and other sodas contain a lot of sugar and can slow down a person"s calcium absorption, so it"s best to drink as little soda as possible. Food in the dinning-room may not be as tasty as fast food, but it"s actually easier to make healthy choices. Human bodies need variety. You can have a dinner that balances lean proteins, vitamins and complex carbohydrates(碳水化合物). In other words, a meal with fish or meat, vegetables and some bread or rice will provide you with most nutrients that the body needs. Some snacks, on the other hand, will help keep you going until your next big meal. It is natural for teenagers, especially boys, to feel hungry during school time. Don"t forget to take some foods, like whole-grain biscuits or low-fat milk in your school bag. | |
