Read the passage and answer the questions that followed, from 16 to 20 : (10ps)
People have smoked for a long time now. The tobacco which is used to make cigarettes was
first grown in what is now part of the United States. Christopher Columbus, who discovered
America, saw the Indians smoking. Soon the dried leaves were transported to Europe where
smoking began to catch on. In the late 1800s, the Turk made cigarettes popular.
Cigarette smoke contains at least two harmful substances, tar and nicotine. Tar, which forms as
the tobacco burns, damages the lungs and therefore affects breathing. Nicotine, which is found in
the leaves, causes the heart to beat faster and increases the breathing rate.
Smoking cigarettes is dangerous. The US Public Health Service stated that cigarette smoking
is the cause of lung cancer and several other deadly diseases. The US government now requires
that each package of cigarettes bears a special warning about the danger of smoking.

People have smoked for a long time now. The tobacco which is used to make cigarettes was
first grown in what is now part of the United States. Christopher Columbus, who discovered
America, saw the Indians smoking. Soon the dried leaves were transported to Europe where
smoking began to catch on. In the late 1800s, the Turk made cigarettes popular.
Cigarette smoke contains at least two harmful substances, tar and nicotine. Tar, which forms
as the tobacco burns, damages the lungs and therefore affects breathing. Nicotine, which is
found in the leaves, causes the heart to beat faster and increases the breathing rate.
Smoking cigarettes is dangerous. The US Public Health Service stated that cigarette smoking
is the cause of lung cancer and several other deadly diseases. The US government now requires
that each package of cigarettes bears a special warning about the danger of smoking.

Read the passage and answer the questions that followed, from 46 to 50 (10ps)
People have smoked for a long time now. The tobacco which is used to make cigarettes was
first grown in what is now part of the United States. Christopher Columbus, who discovered
America, saw the Indians smoking. Soon the dried leaves were transported to Europe where
smoking began to catch on. In the late 1800s, the Turk made cigarettes popular.
Cigarette smoke contains at least two harmful substances, tar and nicotine. Tar, which forms
as the tobacco burns, damages the lungs and therefore affects breathing. Nicotine, which is
found in the leaves, causes the heart to beat faster and increases the breathing rate.
Smoking cigarettes is dangerous. The US Public Health Service stated that cigarette smoking
is the cause of lung cancer and several other deadly diseases. The US government now requires
that each package of cigarettes bears a special warning about the danger of smoking.

Read the passage and answer the questions that followed, from 56 to 60 (10ps)
People have smoked for a long time now. The tobacco which is used to make cigarettes was
first grown in what is now part of the United States. Christopher Columbus, who discovered
America, saw the Indians smoking. Soon the dried leaves were transported to Europe where
smoking began to catch on. In the late 1800s, the Turk made cigarettes popular.
Cigarette smoke contains at least two harmful substances, tar and nicotine. Tar, which forms
as the tobacco burns, damages the lungs and therefore affects breathing. Nicotine, which is
found in the leaves, causes the heart to beat faster and increases the breathing rate.
Smoking cigarettes is dangerous. The US Public Health Service stated that cigarette smoking
is the cause of lung cancer and several other deadly diseases. The US government now requires
that each package of cigarettes bears a special warning about the danger of smoking.
