From the fact that in some developed countries smoking is now more common among teenage girls than boys, we can predict that in the days to come，_____.

All of the following statements are the effects of smoking on women EXCEPT that

In the phrase"lethal stroke", the word"lethal" in Line 7 of Paragraph 2 most probably means

Passage 2

Despite these alarming statistics, the scale of the threat that smoking causes to women’s health has received surprisingly little attention. Smoking is still seen by many as a mainly male problem perhaps because men were the first to take up the habit and therefore the first to suffer the ill-effects,This is no longer the case. Women who smoke like men will die like men. The World Health Organization estimates that, in industrialized countries, smoking rates among men and women are very similar, at approximately 30 per cent; in a large number of developed countries, smoking is now more common among teenage girls than boys.As women took up smoking later than men, the full impact of smoking on their health has yet to been seen. But it’s clear from countries where women have smoked longest ,such as the United Kingdom and the United States, that smoking causes the same diseases in women as in men and the gap between their death rates is narrowing. On current trends, some 20 to 25 per cent of women who smoke will die from their habit. One in three of these deaths will be among women under 65 year of age.The US Surgeon General has estimated that, among these women, smoking is responsible for around 40 percent heart disease deaths, 55 percent of lethal strokes and, among women of all ages,80 percent of lung cancer deaths and 30 percent of all cancer deaths. Over the last 20 years, death rate in women from lung cancer have more than doubled in Japan, Norway, Poland, Sweden and United Kingdom; have increased by more than 200 percent in Australia, Denmark and New Zealand; and have increased by more than 300 percent in Canada and the United States.

The effect of smoking on women has not been paid enough attention because

Which one is the best title of this passage

What's the function of the cycle of the water?

Which statement about water is true?

Which statement about weather systems is not true

Passage 1

ECOSYSTEM refers to all the things that form the environment we live in and their relations. Itincludes the followings:AtmosphereThe atmosphere covers the Earth. It is a thin layer of mixed gases that make up the air webreathe. This thin layer also helps the Earth from becoming too hot or too cold, much like clothing does for us. Weather systems, such as clouds, rain, and winds, which develop in the lower atmosphere, are driven by heat from the sun, the rotation of the Earth, and variations in the Earth's surface.WaterThe biggest bodies of water on Earth are the oceans, covering about 70 percent of Earth's surface.Millions of living things live in the oceans. Fresh water, on the other hand, is very important for animals, plants and humanity on the land. Water on the Earth also plays an important role in adjusting the temperature. The atmosphere and ocean constantly exchange energy and matter during the cycle of the waters. For example, water evaporates(蒸发))from the oceans into the atmosphere. This moisture( 湿气)then falls back to the Earth as precipitation---rain, snow sleet, and even the morning dew(露水) on the grassLandLand covers 27 percent of Earth's surface. It is where we live and most of our food comes.
