A.
Do you think the Chinese education system is in balance with the needs of modern
China? I believe that it is, and that it goes on producing a new generation of gifted and
educated citizens(公民) to lead China forward in this changing world.
In fact, we can easily find that both the arts and sciences are important in today’s
complex society. And each field of study contributes(贡献) to the advancement of society. For
example, medical research helps the mankind healthier. However, the arts make people all over
the world happier. Now in modern China students are encouraged to follow the educational
path that they are best suited for.
The aim of education is to raise students who have wide range both in science and art. So I
believe that it is best when students develop their skills to their highest potential( 潜力). I also
believe that science majors should have an appreciation for the artistic side of life, and artists
are more versatile(多才多艺) when they know the scientific basis for life.
In China, many very bright and talented students try their best to become skilled doctors,
engineers and scientists, while others enjoy writing, music, arts or perhaps the world of
business. I give you all my best wishes as you following your talents and dreams. At the same
time, I would encourage each of you to become well-rounded( 全 面 发 展 的 ) in your
understanding of being an educated person. Use a Chinese Yin-Yang thoughts to build a
harmonious(和谐的) experiences to best serve your own needs and those of society.

When your father comes home from work, you can easily tell if he smoked a lot 
during the day even though he doesn’t have a cigarette in his hand. Why is that? It’s 
because of something known as “third-hand smoke”. 
You might know about the term “second-hand smoke” but do you know what “
third-hand smoke” is? 
When someone has finished smoking, toxic （ 有 毒 的 ）   chemicals （ 化 学 物 质 ）  
stick to their hair, clothes, cars or furniture. These chemicals can hang around long after
second-hand smoke has been cleared from a room and can still be found by the nose, 
according to The New York Times. 
“Your nose isn’t lying”, said Professor Jonathan at Harvard Medical School.“The 
stuff is so toxic that your brain is telling you: ‘Get away.’ ”
However, few people think about the risks of third-hand smoke. They don’t 
think that breathing air in a room today where people smoked yesterday can harm your
health. But it is dangerous, especially for children. 
Scientists say that developing brains can be harmed easily even by a small number
of toxins （ 毒 素 ）   in the air. For example, among the 250 toxic chemicals found in 
cigarette smoke, one of them is lead( 铅 ), and the study shows contact to a tiny 
amount of lead in the air can lower your IQ. 
“Simply closing the kitchen door to smoke is not protecting kids enough,”  said 
Philip, head of the Children’s Environmental Health Center in New York. He 
suggested that parents should always smoke outside to keep their children away from 
third-hand smoke. 
( ) 6. According to the passage, “third-hand smoke” is that _______________.
        A. the smoke coming from the cigarette in the smoker’s hand.         
 B. the smoke that hang around in a room after smoking. 
        C. toxic chemicals left over on people’s hair, clothes, cars or furniture. 
D. toxic chemicals found in the cigarette smokers dropped. 
( ) 7. The underline word “harmed” means “ __________________” in Chinese.
A. 有益  B. 危害   C. 促进    D. 帮助
( ) 8. The example of lead in Paragraph 6 is used to tell us____________.     
      A. even a small number of toxins in the air can harm developing brains        

4
  B.  lead is one of the major toxic chemical in cigarette smoke
C. .lead is the worst among all of the 250 toxic chemicals. 
        D. people with low IQ must have experienced too many toxins
( ) 9. The study shows that contact to ___________ in the air can lower your IQ.
A. a tiny-amount of lead B. a large number of lead
C. a kind of cigarette D. a second-hand smoke
( ) 10. What is the text mainly about? 
A. Smoking is bad for smokers’ health.
B. We should keep kids away from cigarettes. 
        C. Toxic chemicals are found in second-hand smoke.    
D. Third-hand smoke can harm people’s health.
