opinions from americans are different.more than half of people questioned in a survey think electronic cigarettes should be controlled by the us food and drug administration, but 47 percent believe they should be allowed to be sold to those smokers who want to quit.“in the search for a safer cigarette, electronic cigarettes, often referred to as e-cigarettes, are becoming popular among those either trying to quit or who are looking to replace standard tobacco smoke with something that producers think to be safer,” zogby international, which made the survey, said in a statement.about half of the 4,611 adults who took part in the survey had heard about e-cigarettes, which are battery-powered devices that turn liquid nicotine into gas. they do not produce smoke but an odorless (not smelly) water vapor.last year the who warned against using e-cigarettes, saying there was no evidence to prove they were safe or helped smokers break the habit. the who said people who smoke e-cigarettes breathe the same amount of nicotine into the lungs.nearly a third of people questioned in the survey think that e-cigarettes, because they dont produce smoke, should be allowed in places where smoking is not allowed, but 46 percent disagree. men who know about e-cigarettes are more likely than women to say the smokers who want to quit should be allowed to enjoy them. young people, aged 18-29, and singles are the groups most open to trying e-cigarettes.tobacco is the largest cause of preventable death worldwide, according to the who.53. in the 2nd paragraph, the underlined “they” refers to the _.a. survey-takersb. smokersc. fdad. e-cigarettes54. which of the following statements about e-cigarettes is true according to the passage?a. e-cigarettes use batteries as power.b. e-cigarettes can replace real cigarettes. k*s5*uc. e-cigarettes can help smokers stop smoking.d. e-cigarettes can produce some smoke that is not smelly.55. which of the following charts is true according to the survey?56. the whos attitude to e-cigarettes can be best described as _.a. favorableb. doubtfulc. neutral (中立的) d. optimisticcleah was folding up her music stand(乐谱架), and the phone rang. “hello.” “leah, good news for you.” leahs best friend, joanna said. “whats up?” “auditions(试音) for all-state band are in two weeks. you have to try out!” “i dont think so, joanna. ive never been good at auditions.” “we think it would be a great experience for you, whether you get in or not,” leahs mom said. “well, if you want me to, ill give it a try.” the day before the audition, when leah came into the classroom, mr. johnson, the band director, stood up and said. “kids, today rachel would like to challenge leah for first chair.” leah wasnt worried; rachel had challenged her four times and nothing had come of it. but this time leah hit the second note wrong, and her sound was not good at all. rachel, on the other hand, played perfectly. rachel was given the first chair. “leah!” called mrs. foster the next morning, “theres fifteen minutes left!” “i dont feel well. maybe next year,” said leah. “honey, whats really wrong?” “yesterday i lost first chair!” leah said. “now i know that rachel is going to make this audition and im going to do a terrible job!” “oh, leah. we cant decide not to do things just because were afraid. bravery isnt about not being frightened it means doing something although youre afraid. what you should do is do your best, no matter what the result.” leahs mom smiled. “so what do you say? do we have an audition to go to?” “yeah, i guess.” leah sat outside the audition room nervously. finally, they called her name. her first note was clear and loud, and as soon as she hit it, all her worries were gone. finally, rachel was admitted and leah wasnt. hearing what the judge said, leah sat for a minute and thought. then she walked over to rachel. “congratulations!” leah said. as leah came out, she smiled, knowing that even though she hadnt gotten a position in all-state band, she had won. 57. _ told leah about the audition. a. joanna b. rachel c. her momd. mr. johnson58. leah did not want to take part in the audition because _.a. she wasnt feeling wellb. she hadnt gotten a violin of her ownc. she thought she wouldnt do well in itk*s5*ud. she had already been a member of the band59. according to the passage, how many times did rachel compete against leah altogether?a. 2. b. 4. c. 6.d. 8.60. we can infer from the last paragraph that _.a. leah overcame (克服) herselfb. leah got first chair againc. leah passed the auditiond. leah made friends with racheldthe whole world is going, or has already gone, mad. i dont say this because of problems like the arms(武器) competition, pollution or the population explosion. these are bad enough, but i think we now have a more serious problem: our extreme hope to make ourselves suffer by setting ourselves unnecessary problems, called puzzles(谜). a sea of magazines are published every month with names like the puzzler, enigmatic and brain teasers. they contain problems which you do without, and solutions which do not make you feel any better. the electronics industry is now gaining a lot of money on our strange need to set ourselves difficult tasks. their computer games are even more terrible, because the pain they cause is not only mental but also physical. only a superman could possibly have such a strong will as well as a strong body to manage to finish all the tasks in the games. what does it all start, and why do we do it? it starts when our kind parents try to amuse, amaze and puzzle us with games like “i-spy”. later the whole thing becomes more purposeful, when these puzzles are used as tests to see if we are intelligent enough or suitable for a certain lesson or job. and it ends on the bookstores with those piles of puzzle magazines usually with a pretty smiling girl on the front cover. we have a great number of problems to worry us, and yet we create artificial problems to enable us to suffer from great unhappiness in our spare time as well. why all the sufferings? the reason is actually very simple: because of a huge universal mistake, we have been put, by accident, on the wrong planet. out there somewhere, deep in space, is a beautiful planet where we should have been put, a much more peaceful place than ours, a place with no problems, either real or imagined. the sad thing is that it is probably controlled by creatures who should have been put on earth. i bet they have a good puzzle book industry too!61. the writer thinks the world is mad because of _.a. the arms competitionsb. the puzzle book industryc. the increasing world populationd. our spending little time doing puzzles62. the write thinks that the use of puzzles as tests is _.a. mean b. legalc. harmfuld. intelligent63. when parents set puzzles for their children later, they are trying to _. a. test them b. spoil them c. settle them d. attract them64. what is the best title of the passage
