A ban on smoking in most public places goes into effect(效果) on Sunday in China - home to a third of the world's smokers. That means around 300 million smokers will no longer be allowed to light their cigarettes in the "enclosed public places." These include hotels, restaurants, theaters and public transport waiting rooms. The ban does not cover offices or factories.

The campaign is aimed at controlling(控制) the number of deaths from smoking-related illnesses, running at a million a year. According to the World Health Organization, more than 3,000 people die every day in China because of smoking. Health experts also hope it will help Chinese to raise the knowledge of the dangers of smoking.

But the new rules have been criticized because they do not include punishments(处罚) for those who choose not to obey them. Most people worry that Chinese smoking ban may have little effect.

Business owners often hate rules that force(强迫) them to ban smoking on their restaurants, bar, cafe..., because many customers(顾客) do not like the rules and complain. Often you find people smoking at the next table while you are eating your meal or having a drink in a bar.

It appears that many Chinese people don’t know the dangers of smoking. Research suggests only one in four knows the harm(害处) cigarettes or second-hand smoke can cause.

At the same time the government makes a lot of money from the sales of cigarettes by the state-owned firms that make and sell all tobacco products throughout the country.

A. more than 3,000                  B. about a million                 C. nearly 300 million

3. According to the new ban, smokers can smoke         .

A. in the restaurants                 B. in the airport waiting room        C. in the office

4. We can find      reasons in the passage to explain why people worry about the effect of the ban.

A. three                           B. four                          C. five

5.. The best title for this passage is         .

A. A new ban on smoking in China

The Statue of Liberty, which has been closed to the public since super storm Sandy struck in October, will reopen by July 4.

The Statue of Liberty was presented to the United States by the French people in 1886. It stands at Liberty Island as a welcome to all returning Americans.

It’s five months since the monument and Liberty Island were shut down after the storm.

While the statue itself was not seriously harmed by the storm, several buildings on the island experienced the terrible flood. The way used by ships carrying visitors from lower Manhattan and New Jersey was also destroyed.

“It’s good news, it’s a little late, but at least it’s there, and now we’ll watch like an eagle to make sure this promise is kept,” Schumer told NBC New York.

In January, the government spent $59 million repairing both Liberty Island and nearby Ellis Island, which was also damaged in the storm. But the officers have not announced when Ellis Island will reopen. In November, more than a million art works had to be removed from the museum there because of the storm. The Statue of Liberty is one of the country’s most popular tourist attractions. According to the National Park Service, more than 3.7 million people visit the site every year.
