Why do people smoke One reason is that people become addicted (茂盛) to eigarettes. The addictive substance (物质) in cigarettes is nicotine (尼古丁). When people smoke, the nicotine goes right into the blood stream and makes people feel comfortable. A smoker’s body gets used to the nicotine, and if he stops smoking, he feels nervous. Many smokers try to stop smoking but because of the addiction to nicotine they feel so uncomfortable that they often find it too difficult to do so.
Another reason is that people simply enjoy smoking. Having a cigarette for many people means taking a break. For some people smoking becomes part of certain social rituals (礼仪), for example, sending the eigarette after dinner. Many people enjoy smoking because it gives them something to do with their hands. Reaching for a cigarette, lighting it and flicking (弹掉) the ashes are special comfort in a situation where they feel nervous.
Many people also like the taste of tar (焦油) in cigarettes. However, it is the tar that causes cancer. While governments and health experts have tried to get people to give up smoking completely, cigarette manufactures (生产商) have tried to keep selling them by producing cigarettes with less tar. Many people in western countries have welcomed these cigarettes since they found it hard to stop smoking and wanted to reduce the danger to their health.

When the air is polluted we wear masks to protect our lungs (肺). What about bees and butterflies They can’t wear masks.
New Scientist magazine recently reported findings from James Ryalls and his team at the University of Reading, UK. Their study found that air pollution is harmful to pollinators (传花粉者) like bees and butterflies. They can’t smell flowers because of the pollution.
Pollinators are important. They spread pollen (花粉) among plants with flowers. This helps the flower produce seed and fruit. Without pollinators, farms cannot make food.
To do their study, Ryalls’ team built eight areas. They piped (吹送) some harmful gases into six of these areas. The other two areas had normal air.
“The results were much more severe than we thought,” said Ryalls. The levels of pollution in their tests were similar to “normal road traffic”. In such conditions (环境条件), 70 percent few pollinators fly into the area. Once they were there, they didn’t hang around. Visits to flowers decreased by up to 90 percent.
Scientists explained that harmful gases can break down the scents (气味) of flowers. This makes it hard for pollinators to find their food. Shanno n Olsson, a scientist in the India, pointed out that the new “legal” and “safe” pollution levels keep pollinators away.
“Air pollution is another stress on pollinators,” said Ryalls. “That causes their number to decline (减少).”
11.Pollinators CANNOT be ________.
A.bees B.flowers C.butterflies D.bugs
12.What problem may air pollution cause to pollinators
A.They may have less food to eat.
B.They may have more fruit.
C.They can’t smell flowers, so they spread less pollen.
D.They may stop flowers giving out scents.
13.What happened to pollinators in the areas with harmful gases
A.They found food more easily. B.They could not find each other.
C.They hung out more often. D.They visited flowers less.
14.What does the underlined word “severe” in Paragraph 5 mean
A.Serious. B.Proud. C.Wonderful. D.Dangerous.
15.What can be the best title for the article
A.Pollinators are important.
B.Dirty air harms the pollinators and the farms.
C.Air pollution does no harm to pollinators.
D.Without pollinators, farms cannot make food.
D
