With cooler air sweeping southward in the eastern half of the country, the temperature has dropped from around 100 degrees Fahrenheit over the past two weeks to about 90 in most parts of the Midwest to the East Coast. In Washington, Monday was the first cool day after 11 days of sustained heat, with highs at 84 degrees. The relief began Saturday night, as thunderstorms led to the cooler temperatures. In New Jersey, a line of strong, fast-moving storms knocked out power to nearly 70, 000 on Saturday night. The heat was blamed for at least 74 deaths across the country in the past two weeks, according to NBC News, with states like Virginia and Illinois reporting double digit death toll. The heat wave has been near-unprecedented (几乎史无前例的) for several major cities. In Chicago, the temperature reached 100 degrees for three days from Wednesday through Friday, which ties historic record. St Louis period of 10 continuous days of 100 or higher has only been topped by the Dust Bowl year of 1936 when the period was 13 days. Washington hit 100 on Sunday for the fourth continuous day, tying a record set July 19-22, 1930. However, as the heat eases in the East, forecasters warned that a new round of record highs could soon bake Western states. 41. What can be the best title of the passage? A.

Studies also have linked smoking to several other kinds of cancer, heart attacks and other diseases, lung diseases, and a number of other medical problems. The repeated health warnings have had an effect. Thousands of people have stopped smoking. But as many people have learned, stopping smoking can be very difficult.A major problem apparently is the nicotine, a poisonous substance found in tobacco. Small amounts of nicotine are released as tobacco is burned. And over many years of smoking, a persons body becomes dependent on the substance. An attempt to stop smoking brings the problems of nicotine withdrawal（脱瘾过程）.American medical researchers have found that nicotine withdrawal causes people to become angry very easily, aggressive, worried and unable to think sharply. Many people who have tried to stop smoking would confirm those findings.To help people give up smoking, some tobacco companies have proposed chewing tobacco, or using snuff as safe substitutes（替代物）. Snuff is a tobacco powder that usually is breathed in. But many people put it between their gum and cheek.A group of British scientists said recently that many lives could be saved by a major program to get cigarette smokers to change to snuff. An American scientist, Allan Blum, disagreed. Dr. Blum argued that snuff, put in the mouth, can cause gum disease, teeth problems and throat problems that lead to cancer. Dr. Blum also warned against chewing tobacco as a substitute for smoking. He said chewing tobacco can lead to cancer of the mouth, throat or digestive system.Medical researchers say another possible substitute for smoking is a special nicotine chewing gum. The gum is already sold in Europe and Canada. A report says research shows that the chewing gum will increase the amount of nicotine in a persons blood. This helps satisfy some peoples desire for a cigarette. However, the report says, the chewing gum also leads to some unpleasant side effects. And it may be a danger for people with heart problems.Two other American scientists say they have found that the most effective way to stop smoking is to do it completely, suddenly, all at once. The report by Saul Shirtman and Dr. Murray Jogbett says that by stopping all at once, the worst problems of nicotine withdrawal are over in just a few days. But, they say, by continuing to smoke, even a little less each day, the problems of withdrawal never end completely. How to get rid of smoki
