While this is good news for the USs overall health, tobacco（烟草）use is still a problem.Cigarettes can cause many diseases, such as cancer（癌症），lung cliscases and heart problems. Although they know about the health problems, teenagers still smoke. So the campaign of the US Anti-smoking Organization is working to end teenage smoking. Their latest activity uses social media(社交媒体) to remind teenagers of the dangers of smoking.

Do you know how cities began? Long long ago, the world had only a few thousand people. These people moved from one place to another. They moved over the land, hunting animals for food. No one knows how or when these people learned about growing food. But when they did, their lives changed. They did not have to move houses any more. They could stay in one place and grow it. People began to live near each other, so the first village grew. Many people came to work in the villages, and these villages became larger and larger. Then people had machines, life in the villages changed again. People built factories. More and more people lived near the factories. So the villages grew into cities. Some of them grew very big.

The case drew the publics attention towards animal rights. Still, many people in Hong Kong would like to own a pet dog without giving serious thought to the consequences(后果).We are concerned（关注） that some owners will drive away the pets once they have become useless. Homeless dogs and cats run here and there in the parks and streets. Many owners send their pets away for three reasons. Firstly, they have got diseases. Secondly, they are noisy and annoying（烦人）. Thirdly, they have broken the vase bought by a boyfriend. Because of these silly reasons, many pets lose their homes . More pets will be saved if we think twice before buying them.We must pay attention to pets health. To have them injected(注射) with different types of vaccines(疫苗) at the correct age is necessary. You should always keep an eye on your pet. If they behave strangely, take them to an animal hospital at once. Its dangerous for dogs to eat chocolate. Never leave your pets at home alone for a long time. Pets will show better behavior once they have developed good habits. Owners can take them to some training courses or teach them patiently at home.Animal experts say that Hong Kong is not an ideal place for keeping pets at home. Hong Kong people are too busy and the flat spaces are limited. Above all, animals are an important part of nature. They should not be locked in cages. So, if you do not have the time and ability to keep them well, do not take them home. Please think twice before you pay.（1）What happened to the 19-year-old teenager mentioned in the passage?_（2）What does the writer advise us to do before we buy a pet?_（3）Will you send your pet away if you own one? Why?_17. （20分）阅读理解。阅读短文，从每小题给的四个选项中，选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。Have you ever had the strange feeling that you were being watched? You turned around and, sure enough, someone was looking right at you!Parapsychologists (灵学家) say that humans have a natural ability to sense when someone is looking at them. To research whether such a “sixth sense” really exists, Robert Baker, a psychologist (心理学家) at the University of Kentucky, did two experiments.In the first one, Baker sat behind unknowing people in public places and stared at the backs of their heads for 5 to 15 minutes. The subjects（受试者）were eating, drinking, reading, studying, watching TV, or working at a computer. Baker made sure that the people could not tell that he was sitting behind them during those periods. Later, when he questioned the subjects, almost all of them said they had no sense that someone was staring at them. For the second experiment, Baker told the subjects that they would be stared at from time to time from behind in a laboratory setting. The people had to write down when they felt they were being stared at and when they werent. Baker found that the subjects were no better at telling when they were stared at and when they werent.Baker concludes that people do not have the ability to sense when theyre being stared at. If people doubt the of his two experiments, said Baker, “I suggest they repeat the experiments and see for themselves.”（1）Whats the aim of the two experiments for?A . Prove why humans have a sixth sense.B . Explain when people can have a sixth sense.C . Show how people act while being watched in the lab.D . Study whether humans can sense when they are stared at.（2）Whats the aim of the two experiments for?A . Prove why humans have a sixth sense.B . Explain when people can have a sixth sense.C .
