2. Read the following the article.
Although we have scientific evidence that women should not smoke when they are pregnant,
many future mothers ignore this danger. These mothers endanger the physical health of their
babies. Also, they could be contributing to even more problems in the future. In addition to
the known problems, recent studies have linked mothers’ smoking during their pregnancy
with sons who go on to become criminals. Researchers in Finland followed over 5000 males
and their mothers from the time the mothers were six months pregnant until the young men
were 28 years old. Compared to sons whose mothers did not smoke during pregnancy, those
young men whose birth mothers did smoke were more than twice as likely to commit
criminal acts. The researchers theorized that smoking during pregnancy may alter the
chemical balance in the baby’s brain. This recent information, added to the body of evidence
available for years, should be a warning to pregnant women to give up smoking.

a. What are the effects of smoking during pregnancy?

Smoking during pregnancy can have numerous detrimental effects on both the
mother and the developing baby. It endangers the physical health of the babies.
Recent studies have linked mothers’ smoking during their pregnancy with sons
who go on to become criminals.
b. What is the researcher theorized based on the article above?
Based on the article above, researchers theorized that smoking during
pregnancy may alter the chemical balance in the baby’s brain. This could lead
to behavioral issues in the child later in life. The study in Finland found that
sons whose mothers smoked during pregnancy were more than twice likely to
commit criminal acts. This suggests a potential link between smoking during
pregnancy and an increase risk of criminal behaviour in the child.
3. Look the schedule and answer the question

a. What time does the last train of the day get to Stock River?
The last train gets to Stock River at 6.45 p.m.
b. How much money do you pay if you go on Friday with two children?
You have to pay 105$. Because it costs 45$ for adult and 30$ / child on weekdays.
Since you go on Friday ( a weekday ) with 2 children so it’s 45$ + 30$ + 30$ =
105$.
c. What time does the first train from Lv. Martinsville?
The first train from Lv. Martinsville departs at 7.45 a.m.
