AHA Scientific Position found cigarette smoking by children and teenagers in theUnited Statesis a major public health problem.

If not controlled,later in life it will become a major risk factor for coronary heart disease (冠心病) ,which leads to heart attack. Among young men and women— who are otherwise at very low risk of developing coronary heart disease—cigarette smoking may cause as many as 75 per cent of the cases of coronary heart disease. The longer a person smokes,the higher the risk of coronary heart disease. More than 80,000 people die each year from coronary heart disease caused by smoking.

Most adult smokers started when they were teenagers;smoking habits in youth seem to determine lifetime cigarette consumption (消費) .丁here’s also evidence that those who begin smoking before they’re 20 have the highest incidence and earliest onset of coronary heart disease and high blood pressure. Autopsy (尸體解剖) studies of smokers have raised questions about the effects of smoking in childhood and ado-lescence(青春期) on the development of fatty build-ups in arteries in adulthood.

What about passive (被動的) or second-hand smoking? About 59 per cent of American children aged between 4 and 11 are suffering from second-hand smoke at home. Studies have shown that children (especially infants) of parents who smoke have more lung illnesses,such as bronchitis(支氣管炎) and pneumonia,and can develop asthma(哮喘) . And because smoking parents are more likely to cough and spread germs,their children are more likely to develop chest illnesses. Exposure to tobacco smoke also increases the risk of heart disease.

1. What’s the best title of the passage?

   A. Passive or second-hand smoking

   B.  Cigarette smoking and children

   C.  Cigarette smoking and disease

   D.  Smoking habits

2. If parents smoke,their children can get illnesses EXCEPT        .

   A. bronchitis   B. pneumonia

   C.  asthma   D. lung cancer

3. The underlined sentence in the third paragraph means that        .

   A. if the children get into the habit of smoking, they must smoke all their lives

   B.  when the children are into the habit of smoking,they perhaps can smoke all their lives

   C.  all adult smokers can smoke all their lives

   D.  all children who get into the habit of smoking can smoke all their lives

4. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

   A. Cigarette smoking by the youth in theUnited Statesis a major public health problem.

   B.  The longer you smoke,the higher the risk of heart attack.

   C.  If the children have second-hand smoking,they have the risk for many illnesses.

   D.  The harm of smoking in children and in adults is the same.
