We all know that smoking is bad for people’s health. But not many people know about the danger of secondhand smoke.
Secondhand smoke is the smoke that comes from the smoker’s breath. If people breathe in secondhand smoke from time to time, they could get sick from it.
But how serious is the problem of the secondhand smoke? The World Health Organization (WHO) did a study of 194 countries. They found that secondhand smoke causes about 600,000 deaths every year. That is about 1% of the world’s deaths.
Secondhand smoke is especially bad for children because their bodies are still growing. According to the study, around 165,000 children under the age of 5 die each year because of secondhand smoke. Most of these deaths happen in Africa and southern Asia.
You can do something to keep yourself and other people away from secondhand smoke. You can ask the smokers, such as your parents, to smoke outside. And, if someone smokes close to you, you’d better hold your breath or just walk away.

Maybe you have seen this in schools: so
me
students are studying hard all the time but they just pass their
exams, while some others may spend much less time on their books but
do much better in exams. How could this happen? People used to think
that hard-work is the only way to success. But now they have
understood that smart work can make them succeed, too.
Hard workers don’t mind working for long hours, while smart
workers always think of several different answers to these questions,
“ Why should I suffer(忍受)
this? Isn’t there s better way to do this?” Thanks to
these people, we can use computers instead of the a
bacus(算盘)
now. Progress in every field(领域)
is the direct result of “ try a better way” by smart
workers.
There was a large soap factory in Japan. Once it received an unusual letter, complaining(抱怨) that there was no soap in the soapbox he bought. How could empty soapboxes go out of the factory? The engineers (工程师) checked the producing and packing(包装). The producing was fine, but in about one in ten thousand cases, the packing machine let an empty soapbox go. There was no need to spend a lot of money repairing the machine for such a small problem. The engineer soon work out a solution. He put a huge X-ray machine and two large computers to find out the empty soapboxes. After teaching the worker how to use it, he sat down in his seat, exhausted(筋疲力尽的).
“ Sir, we could have solved the problem in a much easier and cheaper way.” said one worker. “ Really? How?” “ We can put a huge fan(风扇) near the packing machine. The wind will blow away the empty boxes. There would be no need for an X-ray machine and computers.”
See, this is smart work. In order to succeed, we should not work hard like the engineer, but also think smartly like this worker.
Some students spend much less time on the schoolwork but do much
better
in exams .
A. Because of their hard work B. Because of different education
C. Because they try to find a better way D. Because they study for a much longer time

63. The soap factory could o
nly
near the packing machine to solve the problem in a
much easier and cheaper way.
A. set some soapboxes B. set an X-ray machine
C. put two large computers D. put a huge fan
The phrase “ blow away” here in Chinese means?
A. 停止 B. 吹走 C. 搬动 D. 逃脱
65. The article mainly tell us that we should in order to succeed.
A. think of different answers to our questions
B. spend much less time on our school work
C. work hard like the engineer and think smartly like the worker
D. spend enough money repairing the machine for any problem
