    A new weapon is on the way in the fight against smoking in Europe. Soon when smokers buy cigarettes they might see a shocking photo of a blackened lung or a cancer patient staring back at them from the packet.

    Some boys may think of smoking as cool and sexy. Their friends won’t agree when they see their packets of cigarettes lying on the table. The European Union announced on October 22, that it had chosen 42 photos that showed the damage cigarettes could do to the body. It called on member nations to put these pictures on packets to discourage smokers. To catch the attention of teenagers, the special packets warn of long-term medical dangers, like cancer. Short-term effects, like bad skin, are also on the list.

    “The true face of smoking is disease, death and horror. That is the message we should send to the young,” said David Byrne, an EU health official. “Hopefully these pictures will shock students out of their love for cigarettes.”

    The EU head office hoped the pictures would work better than current written warnings on packs of cigarettes. The warnings included “smoking kills” and “smoking can lead to a slow and painful death.”

    So far, Ireland and Belgium have shown interest in the photos. Canada has used similar pictures and warnings on cigarette packs since 2000. The country has recently seen a fall in the number of smokers. According to studies, smoking is the single biggest cause of avoidable death in EU. Every year more than 650,000 smokers die, more than one person a minute.

    1.Why will the “new weapon” hopefully work better according to the passage?

    A. Because it is easier to understand.

    B. Because it shows both dangers and effects.

    C. Because it can be seen by the smokers’ friends.

    D. Because it is more powerful to catch attention.

    2.The pictures chosen by the EU are supposed to work on ______.

    A. young smokers B. smokers in Ireland and Belgium

    C. all smokers D. young smokers’ friends

    3.What can we learn from the passage?

    A. Canada has been the first to use the EU’s “weapon”.

    B. Many smokers don’t quite believe the written warnings.

    C. The new form of warning has already proved to work.

    D. Smoking has caused more deaths than anything else in EU.

    根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余项。

    Vegetarian UK

    Vegetarians and vegans

    Vegetarians (people who don’t eat meat) and vegans (people who don’t eat or use any animal products) are becoming increasingly common in UK culture. 1. A recent survey showed that three million people were vegetarian. Visit a British supermarket and you will see a wide range of vegetarian ingredients and prepared meals on the shelves, including vegetarian sausages and vegan cheese.

    2._________

    So why are Brits cutting out meat? Many are unhappy about the poor treatment of animals and the effects of meat and fish production on the environment. Worries about food safety (for example BES or “mad cow disease”) also play a part. 3. According to the Vegetarian Society, a meat-free diet could help reduce the risk of certain cancers and heart disease, as well as obesity and high blood pressure.

    Organic farming

    Another rising trend is in how UK food is produced. Many people are rejecting GM (genetically modified) food and intensive farming practices. They want their food to be organically produced. Organic farmers use very few or no chemicals, pesticides or fertilizers and organic meat is produced without the use of drugs and antibiotics. 4.

    Organic food

    According to the Soil Association, three out of every four UK households now buy some type of organic food. Some get organic meat, fruit and vegetables from farmers’ markets, where products are sold directly to the consumer. Others have a box of organic fruit and vegetables sent to their homes every week. 5. Although it’s often more expensive, fans of organic food say it tastes much better!

    A. A healthy diet

    B. A balanced diet

    C. Many people buy organic products in their local supermarket.

    D. More and more people are deciding not to eat meat or use animal products.

    E. A healthy soil reduces disease and helps crops grow strong and healthy.

    F. Others choose to change their eating habits to improve their general health.

    G. Organically farmed animals also have more living space and more nutritious food.

    “Selfie” may have been named Oxford Dictionary’s word of 2013. In effect，so widely known has the selfie become that in the past 12 months，its frequency in the English language has increased by 17000 percent， said Oxford dictionaries. However，its popularity has just earned it another honour-being voted the most annoying and overused term of the past 12 months. But I’d like to offer that maybe it isn’t so bad.

    According to the Oxford online dictionary, selfie is a photo that one takes of oneself， often from a smart phone， and send them to a social media website. Women and men alike decorate their Facebook and Twitter accounts with these pictures， sometimes with exaggerated facial expressions，such as large smiles or puckered lips（噘嘴）.

    Let’s think about it. Someone takes about 10 selfies each time they do， and they only end up posting one or two of those. They pick the one that they feel makes them look the best. Isn’t that beautiful？ In that one picture，somebody has given himself or herself confidence. Self-image is vital. In today’s society，we are so crazy about being perfect. But perhaps， with that one selfie，we feel as if we fit that need. We feel handsome，beautiful，confident，smart，happy，and content. For that moment，everything bad or terrible that has ever happened to us seemed to have been erased，for that smile or that pucker is what gives us the determination to love ourselves.

    A spoken-word poem I saw lately set me thinking：If I ask you what you love，the answers will most likely roll of your tongue. You love to read. You love to write. You love birds，music…your mom，your brother，your sister，your daughter，your best friend，your dog. How long do you think you could go on and on before you said，“I love myself.”？

    The poem hit me like a ton of bricks. I’ve struggled with confidence all of my life. And I still do. And in no way am I saying that taking a selfie is a gateway to that confidence. However，the selfie does deserve some credit for allowing individuals to express themselves. Just as Pamela Rutledge put it，“There are many more photographs available now of real people than models.”

    1.According to the writer, we live in a society where ________.

    A. selfie leads to success

    B. a good image decides one’s status

    C. one’s poor performance can be erased

    D. being perfect is highly valued

    2.The spoken-word poem mentioned in the 4th paragraph implies ________.

    A. our pleasure to enjoy beauty

    B. our need to love people around us

    C. our tendency to ignore ourselves

    D. our real love to share with others

    3.What does the underlined word “credit” in the last paragraph mean?

    A. praise B. grade C. trust D. fame

    4.In the writer’s opinion, selfie ________.

    A. brings about people’s sense of confidence

    B. is merely popular among teenagers

    C. tells the true meaning of life

    D. is an annoying phenomenon on the Internet
