People who smoke often develop or even die of different disease. Second, smoking polluted the air. People cannot work or study well in a room full of smoke.

Ways to be safe in school

Screen visitors
3. Give school visitors temporary badges(证章) to identify them. Install cameras at all entrances and restrict access as much as possible. Ask teachers and hall monitors to stop anyone in the halls without appropriate identification.
Panic buttons
Provide teachers with panic button in classroom so they can ask for help immediately. Provide clear and brief instructions about use and immediate response when started. 4.
Establish a hotline
Establish a hotline so students can report crimes and threats anonymously(匿名地). Post the number in obvious locations so students can see it on a regular basis. 5. Establish a student disciplinary committee, and develop peer counseling programs for newcomers and victims of bullying(欺负).
A. Teachers and students should be certain that immediate help will arrive.
B. Visitors are not allowed to enter schools.

It’s 3 o’clock and you’ve been hard at work. As you sit at your desk, a strong desire (欲望) for chocolate overcomes you. You try to busy yourself to make it go away. But it doesn’t. Here is another situation. Perhaps you are not feeling well. The only thing you want to eat is a big bowl of chicken soup, like your mom used to make when you were sick as a child. Food cravings are a strong desire for a specific type of food. And they are normal.
Scientists at the website How Stuff Works compare hunger and cravings this way. Hunger is a fairly simple connection between the stomach and the brain. They even call it simply “stomach hunger.” When our stomachs burn up all of the food we have eaten, a hormone (荷尔蒙) sends a message to one part of the brain for more food, which controls our most basic body functions such as thirst, hunger and sleep. The brain then produces a chemical to start the appetite (食欲) and you eat. Hunger is a function of survival.
A craving is more complex. It activates (刺激) brain areas related to emotion, memory and reward. These are the same areas of the brain activated during drug-craving studies. Because of this, some scientists call food cravings “mind hunger.” People often crave foods that are high in fat and sugar. Foods that are high in fat or high in sugar produce chemicals in the brain. These chemicals give us feelings of pleasure.
In a 2007 study, researchers at Cambridge University found that “dieting or controlled eating generally increases the possibility of food craving.” So, the more you refuse yourself a food that you want, the more you may crave it. However, fasting is a bit different. They found that eating no food at all for a short period of time reduced food cravings.
So, the next time you crave something very special, know that it’s the fault of your brain, instead of your stomach.

The world’s first “Sky Pool” has been uncoated — and it’ll give anyone a touch of dizziness, unless he or she is not bothered by heights.
Situated in the capital’s new riverside district beside Battersea Power Station, the glass pool, hanging 10 storeys, or 110 feet up as a bridge between two apartment buildings, is 25 meters long, 5 meters wide and 3 meters deep with a water depth of 1.2 meters. Swimmers will be able to look down 35 meters to the street below as they take a dip, with only 20 cm of glass between them and the outside world. It’s even got a bar, folding chairs and an orange garden.
The pool will be part of Embassy Gardens at Nine Elms, a huge £15 billion building project beside the new American Embassy in south-west London. The project is creating thousands of apartments, the smallest of which are expected to cost nearly $1 million, and the pool will only be open to the apartments’ owners.
Embassy Gardens takes design inspiration (灵感) from the Meatpacking District of New York with floor to ceiling windows and brick frontages. The Sky Pool’s transparent structure is the result of important development in technologies over the past ten years.
The experience of the pool will be truly unique (独特的) and it will feel like floating through the air in central London.
Those people lucky enough to swim there will have a perfect view of the Palace of Westminster and the London Eye. It will be a selling point for developers when the second stage of the development is released (投放) to market.
1.Who can swim in the Sky Pool?
A.Tourists to London. B.Anyone at Nine Elms.
C.People living in Embassy Gardens. D.Those who aren’t terrified of heights.
2.People lucky enough to swim in the Sky Pool can do the following EXCEPT ________.
A.floating through the air B.sitting in the garden
C.enjoying the scenery D.drinking with friends
3.Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.The pool lies in the centre of London.
B.The pool is 25 meters above the ground.
C.The pool was at the top of an apartment building.

4.We can infer from the text that ________.
A.the sky pool will be part of a building project
