A new weapon (武器) 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 that it had chosen 42 photos that showed the damage cigarettes could do to the body, calling 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 (当前) 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 deaths in the EU. Every year more than 650,000 smokers die, more than one person a minute.

By saying “a new weapon is on the way”, the writer means the EU is going to have _____ .

   A. the true face of smoking shown everywhere                     

   B. shocking photos printed on cigarette packets      

   C. written warnings printed on the cigarette packs                      

D. pictures put up where cigarettes are sold                            

The pictures chosen by the EU are supposed to mainly work on _____ .

   A. young smokers                  B. smokers in Ireland and Belgium

C. male smokers                   D. young smokers’ friends

What can we learn from the passage?

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

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

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

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

Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

   A. Smoking Is Cool And Sexy.        B. A New Weapon to Fight Smoking.

   C. Young Smokers in The EU.        D. Deaths from Smoking.

Both students and parents appreciate the great importance schools have _____  to eyesight protection.

In spite of the uncertainty of the economy, the movie industry has been stricken by a box-office outburst. Suddenly it seems as if everyone is going to the movies, with ticket sales this year up 17.5 percent, to $1.7 billion.

And it is not just because ticket prices are higher. Attendance has also jumped, by nearly 16 percent. If that pace continues through the year, it would amount to the biggest box-office increase in at least two decades.

Americans, for the moment, just want to hide in a very dark place. People want to forget their troubles, and they want to be with other people. Helping feed the outburst is the mix of movies, which have been more audience-friendly in recent months as the studios have tried to adjust after the discouraging sales of more serious films.

As she stood in line at the 18-screen Bridge theater complex here on Thursday to buy weekend tickets for “Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience,” Angel Hernandez was not thinking much about escaping reality. Instead, Ms. Hernandez, a Los Angeles parking lot attendant and mother of four young girls, was focused on one very specific reality: her wallet.

    “Spending hundreds of dollars to take them to Disneyland is ridiculous right now,” she said. “For $60 and some candy money I can still be a good mom and give them a little fun.”

A lot of parents may have been thinking the same thing Friday, as “Jonas Brothers” sold out more than 800 theaters, and was expected to sell a powerful $25 million or more in tickets.

The film industry appears to have had a hand in its recent good luck. Over the last year or two, studios have released movies that are happier, scarier or just less

depressing than what came before. After poor results for a rush of serious dramas built around the Middle East, Hollywood got back to comedies.

Which of the following is not a reason for the improvement of the movie industry?

A. A growing number of people are going to the cinema.

B. People are richer with the development of economy.

C. More comedies are made than serious films.

D. People have to pay more to watch a movie.   

Ms. Hernandez purchased the movie tickets because ________.

A. she tried to escape reality                           B. she was a crazy movie fan

C. she was fond of Disneyland                        D. she wanted to please her kids

．According to the text, which of the following number is not used to describe the shooting up of the movie industry?

A.17.5%              B. $1.7 billion                C. $60                 D. $25 million

The passage is developed mainly by ________.

A. presenting the effect and analyzing the causes       

B. following the order of time

C. describing problems and drawing a conclusion             

D. making comparison of ideas
