Should e­cigarettes (electronic cigarettes) be a new choice for the smokers trying to get rid of the habit? Reactions from Americans are mixed.More than half of the people questioned in a survey think e­cigarettes should be controlled by the US Food and Drug Administration,but 47 percent believe the e­cigarettes should be available to the smokers who want to quit.
“In the hunt for a safer cigarette,e­cigarettes are becoming a popular choice among those either trying to quit or looking to replace standard tobacco smoke with an alternative that manufacturers claim to be safer,” Zogby International,which conducted the survey,said in a statement.
About half of the 4,611 adults who took part in the survey had heard about e­cigarettes,which are battery­powered,or rechargeable cigarettes that vaporize a liquid nicotine solution.They do not produce smoke but a water vapor without smell.Sold mostly on the Internet,e­cigarettes were first made in China.
Last year the World Health Organization (WHO) warned against using e­cigarettes,saying there was no evidence to prove they were safe or helped smokers break the habit.The WHO said people who smoke e­cigarettes breathe in a fine fog of nicotine into the lungs.
Nearly a third of people questioned in the survey think that e­cigarettes should be allowed in places where smoking is forbidden,because they don’t produce smoke,but 46 percent disagree.Men who were aware of the availability of e­cigarettes were more likely than women to say they should be a choice available to smokers who want to quit.Young people,aged 18-29,and singles were the groups most open to trying e­cigarettes.Smoking is the single largest cause of preventable death worldwide,according to the WHO.
【小題1】What can we learn from Paragraph 1?

A.American smokers ought to try e­cigarettes.
B.Americans have different opinions about e­cigarettes.
C.Every kind of cigarettes should be forbidden in America.
D.Most of the Americans don’t like e­cigarettes.
【小題2】According to Zogby International,e­cigarettes ______.
A.a(chǎn)re much safer than common cigarettes
B.a(chǎn)re popular among people who want to quit smoking
C.will take the place of traditional cigarettes
D.a(chǎn)re produced in a safer way by manufacturers
【小題3】What do we know about e­cigarettes from the passage?
A.Most Americans are familiar with them.
B.They are a good choice as there is no nicotine.
C.They produce a water vapor that can’t be seen.
D.Most people buy them on the Internet.
【小題4】What’s the attitude of the WHO towards e­cigarettes?
A.NegativeB.SupportiveC.DoubtfulD.Indifferent


【小題1】B
【小題2】B
【小題3】D
【小題4】A
