9、ssell!”Uncle Allen put in,“Well, Ive decided to take the Post.”I handed him a copy and he paid me anickle（五分镍币）. It was the first nickle I earned.Afterwards my mother taught mehow to be a salesman.

A new study sh

16、ows that black people and Native Hawaiians are morelikely to develop lung cancer from smoking. It compared their risk to whites, Japanese-Americans andLatinos.Researchers at the University of Southern California and the University of Hawaii did the new study. TheNew England Journal of Medicine publi

17、shed the findings. The eight-year research studied more than180,000 people. They included present and former smokers and people who never smoked. Almost 2.000people in the study developed lung cancer.Researchers say genetics（遗传学） might help explain the racial and ethnic（种族的）differences. There could

18、be differences in how peoples bodies react to smoke. But environmentalinfluences, including the way people smoke, could also make a difference.African-Americans and Latinos in the study are reported smoking the fewest cigarettes per day. Whitesare the heaviest smokers. But the scientists point out t

19、hat blacks have been reported to breathe cigarettesmoke more deeply than white smokers. This could fill their lungs with more of the chemicals in tobaccothat cause cancer.Scientists know that some diseases effect different groups differently.And some drugcompanies have begun to develop racially targ

25、g more acidic ”say scientistsThe researchers fromCalifornia report that the change is taking place in response to higher levels of carbon dioxide in theatmosphere.The lowering of the waterspH value is not great at the moment but could causea serious threat to current ocean life if it continues, they

26、 warn. Ken Caldeira and Michael Wickett, from theLawrence Livermore National Laboratory, report their concerns in the journal Nature.Increasing use of oil fuels means more carbon dioxide is going into the air, and most of it will eventually beabsorbed by seawater. Once in the water, it reacts to for

27、m carbonic acid. Scientists believe that theoceans have already become slightly more acidic over the last century.These researchers have tried to predict what will happen in the future by combining what we knowabout the history of the oceans with computer models of climate changeThis level of acidit

28、y will getmuch more extreme in the future if we continue releasing COZ into the atmosphere, said Dr Caldeira.And we predict the amount of future acidity will exceed（超过）anything we have seen over the lastseveral hundred million years, let alone perhaps after rare disastrous events such as asteroid（小1

29、j-%+._） impacts”However, it is not absolutely clear what that means for ocean lifeMost organisms live near the surface,where the greatest pH change would be expected to occur, but deep-ocean life forms may be moresensitive to pH changesCoral reefs and otherorganisms whose shells contain calcium carb

30、onate（小行星） may be particularly affected if the watersacidity levels keep going up, the team predict. They could find it much more difficult to build thesestructures in water with a lower pH.In recent years some people have suggested storing carbon dioxide from power stations in the deepocean as a wa

31、y of dealing with global warmingBut Dr Caldeirasaid that such a strategy should now be re-considered. Previously, most experts had looked at oceanabsorption of carbon dioxide as a good thing一because in releasing CO2 into the atmosphere we warmthe planet, and when CO2, is absorbed by the ocean, it reduces the amount of greenhouse warming.”66.The ocean is becoming more acidic due to.A，the lower water pH value Bthe warming atmosphereCthe higher level of COZ in the air Dth
