Scientists at the Oregon Department of Health documented for the first time an hourly buildup of a cancercausing pound from cigarette smoke in the blood of nonsmokers working in bars and restaurants in the state.Reporting in the American Journal of Public Health, the researchers found that waitstaff and bartenders working a typical night shift gradually accumulated higher levels of NNK, a carcinogen in cigarette smoke, at the rate of 6% each hour they worked. NNK is known to be involved in inducing lung cancer in both lab rats and smokers.We were somewhat surprised by the immediacy of the effect and the fact that we could measure the average hourly increase, says Michael Stark, the lead author of the study and a principal investigator at the Mulmomah County Health Department in Oregon.The authors are confident that the increases in NNK in the workers they tested most likely came from their exposure to smokethe study included a control group of similar subjects in restaurants where no smoking was allowed. There is experimental evidence from studies where you put nonsmokers in a room, blow smoke into the room and measure their artery function, that you see the platelets get sticky, which can cause clots and lead to a heart attack, and the ability of the arteries to dilate decreases very rapidly, says Dr. Matthew McKenna, director of the office on smoking and public health for the Centers for Disease Control.All of which could mean more time loitering outside buildings and in alleyways for smokers intent on grabbing a puff. Thirteen states now prohibit smoking in restaurants altogether (most of these include bars as well) , and while 11 states still put no restrictions on lighting up, individual cities within those statessuch as Austin in Texas, for examplehave passed legislation banning smoking in eating establishments and other public areas.It39。t feel any progress in learning.(B) A flat and smooth spot in your study where you make fewer mistakes.(C) A longterm struggle which does not bring you any tangible rewards.(D) An educational research on language learning that is unusual and advanced.16.(A) Try another approach.(B) Give yourself some time for sleeping.(C) Keep on learning and practicing.(D) Reward yourself from time to time.17.(A) A foreign language is very useful in getting a job with decent pay.(B) We use a foreign language to municate freely with a native speaker.(C) It may be of help in negotiating a business contract with a foreign firm.(D) We can travel around different countries in a less expensive way.18.(A) Some cash.(B) Language skills.(C) A stained certificate.(D) A business contract.Questions 192219.(A) Five years.(B) Fifteen years.(C) Fifty years.(D) A hundred years.20.(A) To study a subject or to join in a cultural activity.(B) To bee a member of the government appointed by the parliament.(C) To demand more financial support from the government.(D) To upgrade their knowledge at school.21.(A) 200,000.(B) 350,000.(C) 2,500,000.(D) 15,000,000.22.(A) To raise funds for the disadvantaged.(B) To further individuals39。 means you have help ________ (4), the student services staff at regional centres, and centralised areas such as ________ (5).
