Smoking kills almost five million people worldwide every year. Experts say smoking is the leading cause of preventable death. And, it is the second leading cause of death, after cancer.
Experts say forty percent of cancers could be prevented by avoiding health risks like smoking.
A recent study found that people who smoke are nearly twice as likely as non-smokers to develop Alzheimer’s disease(老年痴呆症). Alzheimer’s weakens or destroys memory and reasoning.
In the study, researchers examined forty-three published studies about the link between Alzheimer’s disease and smoking. They found that smoking increased the risk of Alzheimer’s disease by seventy percent.
In an earlier study, seven thousand people were observed(观察) for an average of seven years. Each person was fifty-five years or older. Those who smoked were fifty percent more likely to develop memory loss than those who never smoked, or who had given up smoking.

C GM food
Today there are six billion people on the earth. By the year 2050 there may be 12.5 billion. There will be a lot of people to feed. We need more food.
One way to produce more food is by growing stronger plants. For thousands of years, farmers have made plants better. Every season, they pick the best plants for the next season. It works very slowly. Since 1983, scientists have been able to change plants more quickly by changing their genetic material(遗传物质). Foods from plants grown in this way are called genetically modified foods(转基因食品), or GM foods. By changing the genetic material of a plant, it is possible to make new plants. They make plants which are strong against plant diseases. They can also help in our diseases. A kind of rice is being prepared, for example, which stops people from becoming blind.
Rich countries produce GM foods because they are easy to grow and bring in more money. Poor countries are interested in them because they help produce more food. GM plants are not natural. No one knows how good or bad they are. Making GM foods is only one way of feeding people in 2050. There are strong feelings against them, because they are unnatural. They may feed people, then hurt them or their children later. But, both rich and poor countries are very interested in their use, and they are not going to go away. In 2050 we may think differently about them.
63. GM foods are made by ___.
A. farmers
B. workers
C. scientists
D. plants
64. What are the good things about GM foods?
A. They make plants strong against diseases. B. They are unnatural.
C. They can help in human diseases. D. Both A and C. 65. From the reading we know that ___.
A. GM foods will disappear one day in the future B. GM foods will not disappear in the future C. people will not be interested in GM foods D. people will have to stop using GM foods
