Secondhand smoke clearly kills people and the only way to control it is to ban smoking in all workplaces, US Surgeon-General Dr Richard Carmona said.

In 1964Surgeon General’s report first laid out the  1  of smoking. Years later, in another report Dr Richard Carmona  2  the effects of secondhand smoke and said no one should be forced to inhale it.

“Secondhand smoke causes early death and disease in children and in   3  who do not smoke,” the report reads. “Children   4  to secondhand smoke are at an increased risk for sudden infant death syndrome, acute respiratory infections, and ear problems,” it adds.

Smoking by   5   causes respiratory symptoms and slows lung growth in their children. A 2005 report from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that 430  6  died every year in the United States from sudden infant death syndrome-all   7  by secondhand smoke.

States,  8  and other local authorities have battled over instituting（制定）smoking bans. Some   9  , especially bars and restaurants, have said they will lose business if smoking is completely banned. But the report said it is impossible to protect non-smokers even with designated smoking areas, and at least one report from California, which has strict bans, has shown no   10  on businesses.

If you watch British television on Friday March 15, you might be surprised to see celebrities wearing funny red noses and joking around. But don’t worry, they’re not mad, it’s all part of a biennial fund-raising event called Red Nose Day.
Organized by the charity Comic Relief, founded in 1985 by two British comedians, the aim of the event is to raise money to fight poverty and injustice in the UK and Africa.
Celebrities and public figures support the event by making appearances on comic TV shows broadcast by the BBC. This year, for example, UK Prime Minister David Cameron appeared in a music video by One Direction, which the band produced for the event.
But Britons don’t just raise money for charitable causes on one day a year, they do it all year round. One way of doing so is by shopping in charity shops.
These small, inconspicuous shops sell clothes, books and household goods just like any other shop. But there’s one big difference—it’s all secondhand.
There are nearly 10,000 charity shops in the UK, according to the Charity Retail Association. Their business model is simple: Anybody who has things they don’t want anymore can donate them to a charity shop, where they are checked for damage, cleaned and priced. Most items go back on sale at a small part of their original price and the money that is made by selling them is used for a charitable cause.
The idea of buying used clothes may sound off-putting, but for shoppers who have less spending money, such as the elderly or those in low-paying jobs, it has been a welcome option for years.
Now, “thrifting”—shopping at charity shops— is also becoming popular with young people looking for alternative fashion.
“I love shopping at thrift stores. You can find very unique clothes for a very cheap price. It doesn’t bother me that other people may have worn them, I simply wash them before I wear them,” said Anne Marie, a 19-year-old Internet user from the US, in a comment on a Yahoo forum.
So next time you spot a charity shop, why not go inside? Who knows, you might find a lovely dress for just a few pounds. Even better, you can enjoy wearing it in the knowledge that your money helped a good cause.
【小題1】What do famous people in Britain do in support of the Red Nose Day event?

A．Appear on comic TV shows.
B．Donate large sums of money.
C．Donate expensive clothes to charity shops.
D．Play in a music video with the Prime Minister.
【小題2】What do we learn from the passage about Comic Relief?
A．It was founded in 1985 by two British comedians in Africa.
B．It organizes the Red Nose Day fund-raising event.
C．It runs nearly 10,000 charity shops in the UK.
D．It is financially supported by the UK government.
【小題3】One reason for the popularity of the thrift shops is that __________.
A．they sell a wide variety of goods
B．their business model is simple
C．their goods are carefully checked, cleaned and priced
D．they provide things, sometimes special, at low prices
【小題4】The passage is written mainly to __________.
A．inspire more people to join in charitable causes in the UK
B．introduce the traditions of the Red Nose Day
C．a(chǎn)nalyze why charity shops are popular in the UK
D．explain how charity shops work in the UK

Another person’s enthusiasm was what set me moving toward the success I have achieved. That person was my stepmother.

I was nine years old when she entered our home in rural Virginia. My father  __36__  me to her with these words: “ I would like you to meet the fellow who is ­­­­­__37__ for being the worst boy in this country and will probably start throwing rocks at you no __38__ than tomorrow morning.”

My stepmother walked over to me, __39__ my head slightly upward, and looked me right in the eye. Then she looked at my father and replied, “You are __40__. This is not the worst boy at all, __41__ the smartest one who hasn’t yet found an outlet(釋放的途徑) for his enthusiasm.

That statement began a(n) __42__ between us. No one had ever called me smart. My family and neighbors had built me up in my __43__ as a bad boy. My stepmother changed all that.

She changed many things. She __44__ my father to go to a dental school, from which he graduated with honors. She moved our family into the county seat, where my father’s career could be more __45__ and my brother and I could be better __46__.

What power _53__ has! When that power is released to support the certainty of one’s purpose and is __54__ strengthened by faith, it becomes an irresistible(不可抗拒的) force which poverty and temporary defeat can never __55__ .
