Londoners are great readers.They buy vast numbers of newspapers and magazines and of books-especially paperbacks,which are still comparatively cheap in spite of ever?increasing rises in the costs of printing.They still continue to buy “proper”books,too,printed on good paper and bound(裝訂)between hard covers.

There are many streets in London containing shops which specialize in book?selling.Perhaps the best known of these is Charring Cross Road in the very heart of London.Here bookshops of all sorts and sizes are to be found,from the celebrated one which boasts of being “the biggest bookshop in the world”to the tiny,dusty little places which seem to have been left over from Dickens' time.Some of these shops stock,or will obtain,any kind of books,but many of them specialize in second?hand books,in art books,in foreign books,in books on philosophy,politics or any other of the countless subjects about which books may be written.One shop in this area specializes only in books about ballet!

Although it may be the most convenient place for Londoners to buy books,Charring Cross Road is not the cheapest.For the really cheap second?hand books,the collector must venture off the beaten track,to Farringdon Road,for example,in the East Central district of London.Here there is nothing so impressive as bookshops.The booksellers come along each morning and pour out their sacks of books onto small handcarts.And the collectors,some professionals and some amateurs,have been waiting for them.In places like this they can still,occasionally,pick up for a few pence an old one that may be worth many pounds.

Millions of teenagers are in danger of putting their health at risk by getting hooked on e-cigarettes, experts warn. Leading health researchers say they are “very concerned” by the growing number of youngsters trying the devices.

E?cigarettes have been marketed as a healthier alternative to smoking conventional cigarettes. But previous research shows e?cigarettes generate poisonous chemicals similar to those found in tobacco and may harm the lungs and immune system.

Worryingly, researchers at Liverpool University discovered 16% of teenagers who have used e?cigarettes had never previously smoked. The experts also found e?cigarettes were “strongly related” to drinking among teenagers. Study author Prof. Mark Bellis said, “Our research suggests that we should be very concerned about teenagers accessing e?cigarettes. While debate on e?cigarettes has focused largely on whether or not they act as a gateway to tobacco cigarette use, e?cigarettes themselves contain a highly addictive drug that may have more serious and longer lasting impacts on children because their brains are still developing.”

Researchers surveyed 16,000 students aged 14 to 17 in the North West of England and asked them about their alcohol and tobacco use. They found that one in five answered yes to the question: “Have you ever bought or tried electronic cigarettes?” More males than females said they had.

Of the teenagers that had accessed e?cigarettes, 16% had never smoked, 23% had tried smoking, 12% only smoked when drinking, and 14% were ex?smokers. The research also found teenagers who drank alcohol were significantly more likely to have accessed e?cigarettes than non?drinkers.

Among those who had never smoked, it was found that those who regularly have excessive(過多的)drinking were four times more likely to access e?cigarettes than those who never drink. In all of those that drink, regardless of smoking status, e?cigarette access was associated with excessive drinking and involvement with violence after drinking. The researchers said their findings suggest that teenagers who use e?cigarettes are most susceptible to other forms of substance use and risk?taking behaviors.

1.How have e?cigarettes been promoted in the market?

A. As a healthier substitute for traditional cigarettes.

B. As a device meeting the mental needs of smokers.

C. As a product preventing smokers from using tobacco products.

D. As a new device promoted among youngsters.

2.What do we learn from the survey made in the North West of England?

A. E-cigarettes are now widely available and heavily promoted.

B. E?cigarette access is linked to excessive drinking and violence after it.

C. Teenagers are very knowledgeable about alcohol and tobacco use.

D. The number of adult cigarette smokers is dropping at present.

3.Which of the following can replace the underlined words “susceptible to” in the last paragraph?

A. greatly interested in

B. commonly accustomed to

C. deeply disappointed at

D. easily influenced by

4.What's the main idea of the passage?

A. Experts are concerned about excessive drinking in teenagers.

B. The harm of the e?cigarettes is greater than that of alcohol.

C. Teenagers are in danger of risking their health on e?cigarettes.

D. Researchers are aware of smoke?related health harm.
