The area in frnt f Janet and Jeffrey Cruch’s huse in Clumbia, Maryland, des nt lk usual fr their neighburhd. That is because the Cruches d nt have a grass lawn(草坪). Instead, they have sme small trees and many native plants.
In recent years, supprt fr replacing lawns with native plants has been increasing in the US. It can be cstly t keep a lawn lking gd and green. But the Cruches had t spend much mre mney fr the right nt t have ne.
Peple living in a huse next t them cmplained t their hmewner’s assciatin, r HOA. HOAs can make rules abut the plants that hmewners in a neighburhd are permitted t grw. Many HOAs require grass lawns. The HOA rdered the Cruches t pull ut their native plants and put in grass. Hwever, they refused. “We knew we were ding things that were beneficial fr the envirnment, ” said Janet Cruch.
Lawns are called envirnmental dead znes in part because they prvide n fd r shelter fr wildlife. They als d nt supprt pllinatrs like birds, bees, and butterflies. Bee ppulatins have been getting smaller in Nrth America and may be getting smaller arund the wrld.
There are ther reasns that lawns are bad fr the envirnment. They require a lt f water and chemicals. Large amunts f water can remve nutrients frm the sil. After the water remves the nutrients, peple buy even mre chemicals t put n their lawns. Scientists say sme f these chemicals might cause cancer and ther health prblems. There are ver 16millin hectares f grass lawns in the US. That means lawns use mre water than any ther irrigated(灌溉)crp in the cuntry.

With the weight f its tall buildings, streets and peple, New Yrk City is sinking at an average rate f 1 t 2 millimetres each year, a new study says.
The sinking is called “subsidence”. That natural prcess happens everywhere as grund is cmpressed (压紧). But the study sught t estimate hw the huge weight f the city itself is hurrying things alng.
Over 1 millin buildings are spread acrss five brughs (自治区). The research team fund that all thse structures add up t 1. 5 trillin metric tns f cncrete, metal and glass, equal t the mass f 4, 700 Empire State buildings pressing dwn n the Earth.
The rate f cmpressin is different thrughut the city. Midtwn Manhattan’s skyscrapers are largely built n rck which cmpresses very little. But sme parts f Brklyn, Queens and dwntwn Manhattan are n lser sil and sinking faster, the study said.
While the prcess is slw, parts f the city will eventually be under water. Researchers reached cnclusins using satellite imaging, data mdeling and mathematical calculatins. It will take hundreds f years befre New Yrk becmes Venice, which is famusly sinking int the Adriatic Sea. But parts f New Yrk are mre at risk. A researcher said Manhattan is at risk because f the brugh’s large weight.
The cean is rising at a similar rate that the land is sinking. S the Earth’s changing climate culd speed up the prcess fr parts f the city t g under water. Already, New Yrk City is at risk f flding because f large strms. Strms like Sandy in 2012 caused the cean t expand inland and flded neighburhds after a lt f rain.
New Yrk City is nt the nly place sinking. San Francisc, Califrnia, is als at risk because f pressure n the grund and the area’s active earthquakes. In Indnesia, the gvernment is preparing fr a mve frm Jakarta, which is sinking int the Java Sea. The gvernment is building a new capital being cnstructed n the higher grund f an entirely different island.
8. What is the main reasn fr the different cmpressin rates in New Yrk?
A. Different measurement methds.B. Different gelgical(地质的)cnditins.
C. Different building materials and styles.D. Different climate changes and impacts.
9. What is the basic reasn fr Manhattan t be Venice?
A. Its huge weight.B. Its distance t the sea.
C. Its similar psitin.D. Varius frequent natural disasters.
10. What is the purpse f the last paragraph?
A. T keep the reader’s attentin.
B. T imprve the atmsphere.
C. T shw the issue is cmmn.
D. T pint ut the negative effect f sinking.
11. What is a suitable title fr the text?
A. New Yrk City Is Slwly SinkingB. The Flavur f New Yrk City
C. Here Cmes a Future VeniceD. The Prblems Caused by Drpping

A cuntry is “smke-free” if less than five percent f the ppulatin smkes daily.
Only 6. 4 percent f Swedes ver the age f 15 were daily smkers in 2019. That was the lwest percentage in the EU. The Eurstat statistics agency says that acrss the 27 cuntries f the EU, the average was 18. 5 percent. Data frm the Public Health Agency f Sweden shw that the smking rate has cntinued t fall, reaching 5. 6 percent in 2022.
“We like a healthy way t live, I think that’s the reasn,” said Carina Astrssn, wh lives in Stckhlm. Smking never interested her, she added, because “I dn’t like the smell; I want t take care f my bdy.” Sweden says its anti-smking actins imprve health in several ways, including a lwer rate f lung cancer. Sweden was early t limit smking in public places such as schl playgrunds. Later, the cuntry added smking bans(禁令) fr utdr restaurants and bus statins. The cuntry als increased taxes n cigarettes and changed rules n hw they can be sld.
Hwever, ther frms f tbacc remain ppular in Sweden. Snus (鼻烟) is a wet tbacc pwder placed in the muth next t the teeth. Snus makers say their prducts help reduce cigarette smking. But health fficials say snus is anther prduct that makes peple addicted t nictine, the main drug in tbacc. Snus is such a ppular part f Swedish culture that the cuntry demanded exemptin frm the EU’s ban n smkeless tbacc when it jined the EU in 1995.
If snus and similar prducts are included, the Wrld Health Organizatin (WHO) ntes that mre than 20 percent f adults in Sweden use tbacc. This brings Sweden clse t the wrld average. “Switching frm ne harmful prduct t anther is nt a slutin,” the WHO said in an email.
A researcher at Stckhlm University’s Department f Public Health Sciences said Sweden’s anti-smking rules have pushed smkers away frm public spaces. “We are sending signals t the smkers that this is nt accepted by sciety,” she said.
The WHO has designated May 31st as “Wrld N Tbacc Day” every year.
12. What is Paragraph 3 mainly abut?
A. Swedes’ healthy lifestyle.
B. The gd effect Sweden’s smking ban has.
C. Specific smking ban measures in Sweden.
D. Peple’s attitudes twards anti-smking measures.
13. What des the underlined “exemptin” prbably mean?
A. Recgnitin.B. Explanatin.
C. Annuncement.D. Freedm.
14. What can be inferred frm Paragraph 5?
A. Sweden plays an imprtant rle in the WHO.
B Sweden is clse t becming a smke-free cuntry.
C. Sweden’s smking ban experience is wrth prmting.
D. Sweden’s smking ban actually has a lng way t g.
15. Which sectin f a magazine is the text prbably taken frm?
A. Travel.B. Health.C. Culture.D. Educatin.

The area in frnt f Janet and Jeffrey Cruch’s huse in Clumbia, Maryland, des nt lk usual fr their neighburhd. That is because the Cruches d nt have a grass lawn(草坪). Instead, they have sme small trees and many native plants.
In recent years, supprt fr replacing lawns with native plants has been increasing in the US. It can be cstly t keep a lawn lking gd and green. But the Cruches had t spend much mre mney fr the right nt t have ne.
Peple living in a huse next t them cmplained t their hmewner’s assciatin, r HOA. HOAs can make rules abut the plants that hmewners in a neighburhd are permitted t grw. Many HOAs require grass lawns. The HOA rdered the Cruches t pull ut their native plants and put in grass. Hwever, they refused. “We knew we were ding things that were beneficial fr the envirnment, ” said Janet Cruch.
Lawns are called envirnmental dead znes in part because they prvide n fd r shelter fr wildlife. They als d nt supprt pllinatrs like birds, bees, and butterflies. Bee ppulatins have been getting smaller in Nrth America and may be getting smaller arund the wrld.
There are ther reasns that lawns are bad fr the envirnment. They require a lt f water and chemicals. Large amunts f water can remve nutrients frm the sil. After the water remves the nutrients, peple buy even mre chemicals t put n their lawns. Scientists say sme f these chemicals might cause cancer and ther health prblems. There are ver 16millin hectares f grass lawns in the US. That means lawns use mre water than any ther irrigated(灌溉)crp in the cuntry.

With the weight f its tall buildings, streets and peple, New Yrk City is sinking at an average rate f 1 t 2 millimetres each year, a new study says.
The sinking is called “subsidence”. That natural prcess happens everywhere as grund is cmpressed (压紧). But the study sught t estimate hw the huge weight f the city itself is hurrying things alng.
Over 1 millin buildings are spread acrss five brughs (自治区). The research team fund that all thse structures add up t 1. 5 trillin metric tns f cncrete, metal and glass, equal t the mass f 4, 700 Empire State buildings pressing dwn n the Earth.
The rate f cmpressin is different thrughut the city. Midtwn Manhattan’s skyscrapers are largely built n rck which cmpresses very little. But sme parts f Brklyn, Queens and dwntwn Manhattan are n lser sil and sinking faster, the study said.
While the prcess is slw, parts f the city will eventually be under water. Researchers reached cnclusins using satellite imaging, data mdeling and mathematical calculatins. It will take hundreds f years befre New Yrk becmes Venice, which is famusly sinking int the Adriatic Sea. But parts f New Yrk are mre at risk. A researcher said Manhattan is at risk because f the brugh’s large weight.
The cean is rising at a similar rate that the land is sinking. S the Earth’s changing climate culd speed up the prcess fr parts f the city t g under water. Already, New Yrk City is at risk f flding because f large strms. Strms like Sandy in 2012 caused the cean t expand inland and flded neighburhds after a lt f rain.
New Yrk City is nt the nly place sinking. San Francisc, Califrnia, is als at risk because f pressure n the grund and the area’s active earthquakes. In Indnesia, the gvernment is preparing fr a mve frm Jakarta, which is sinking int the Java Sea. The gvernment is building a new capital being cnstructed n the higher grund f an entirely different island.
8. What is the main reasn fr the different cmpressin rates in New Yrk?
A. Different measurement methds.B. Different gelgical(地质的)cnditins.
C. Different building materials and styles.D. Different climate changes and impacts.
9. What is the basic reasn fr Manhattan t be Venice?
A. Its huge weight.B. Its distance t the sea.
C. Its similar psitin.D. Varius frequent natural disasters.
10. What is the purpse f the last paragraph?
A. T keep the reader’s attentin.
B. T imprve the atmsphere.
C. T shw the issue is cmmn.
D. T pint ut the negative effect f sinking.
11. What is a suitable title fr the text?
A. New Yrk City Is Slwly SinkingB. The Flavur f New Yrk City
C. Here Cmes a Future VeniceD. The Prblems Caused by Drpping

A cuntry is “smke-free” if less than five percent f the ppulatin smkes daily.
Only 6. 4 percent f Swedes ver the age f 15 were daily smkers in 2019. That was the lwest percentage in the EU. The Eurstat statistics agency says that acrss the 27 cuntries f the EU, the average was 18. 5 percent. Data frm the Public Health Agency f Sweden shw that the smking rate has cntinued t fall, reaching 5. 6 percent in 2022.
“We like a healthy way t live, I think that’s the reasn,” said Carina Astrssn, wh lives in Stckhlm. Smking never interested her, she added, because “I dn’t like the smell; I want t take care f my bdy.” Sweden says its anti-smking actins imprve health in several ways, including a lwer rate f lung cancer. Sweden was early t limit smking in public places such as schl playgrunds. Later, the cuntry added smking bans(禁令) fr utdr restaurants and bus statins. The cuntry als increased taxes n cigarettes and changed rules n hw they can be sld.
Hwever, ther frms f tbacc remain ppular in Sweden. Snus (鼻烟) is a wet tbacc pwder placed in the muth next t the teeth. Snus makers say their prducts help reduce cigarette smking. But health fficials say snus is anther prduct that makes peple addicted t nictine, the main drug in tbacc. Snus is such a ppular part f Swedish culture that the cuntry demanded exemptin frm the EU’s ban n smkeless tbacc when it jined the EU in 1995.
If snus and similar prducts are included, the Wrld Health Organizatin (WHO) ntes that mre than 20 percent f adults in Sweden use tbacc. This brings Sweden clse t the wrld average. “Switching frm ne harmful prduct t anther is nt a slutin,” the WHO said in an email.
A researcher at Stckhlm University’s Department f Public Health Sciences said Sweden’s anti-smking rules have pushed smkers away frm public spaces. “We are sending signals t the smkers that this is nt accepted by sciety,” she said.
The WHO has designated May 31st as “Wrld N Tbacc Day” every year.
12. What is Paragraph 3 mainly abut?
A. Swedes’ healthy lifestyle.
B. The gd effect Sweden’s smking ban has.
C. Specific smking ban measures in Sweden.
D. Peple’s attitudes twards anti-smking measures.
13. What des the underlined “exemptin” prbably mean?
A. Recgnitin.B. Explanatin.
C. Annuncement.D. Freedm.
14. What can be inferred frm Paragraph 5?
A. Sweden plays an imprtant rle in the WHO.
B Sweden is clse t becming a smke-free cuntry.
C. Sweden’s smking ban experience is wrth prmting.
D. Sweden’s smking ban actually has a lng way t g.
15. Which sectin f a magazine is the text prbably taken frm?
A. Travel.B. Health.C. Culture.D. Educatin.
