Should e-cigarettes (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 e-cigarettes should be controlled by the US Food and Drug Administration，but 47 percent believe the e-cigarettes should be available to the smokers who want to quit.

“In the hunt for a safer cigarette，e-cigarettes 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 e-cigarettes，which are battery-powered，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，e-cigarettes were first made in China.

Last year the World Health Organization (WHO) warned against using e-cigarettes，saying there was no evidence to prove they were safe or helped smokers break the habit. The WHO said people who smoke e-cigarettes breathe in a fine fog of nicotine into the lungs.

Nearly a third of people questioned in the survey think that e-cigarettes 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 e-cigarettes 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 e-cigarettes. Smoking is the single largest cause of preventable death worldwide，according to the WHO.

25. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?

A．Americans have different opinions about e-cigarettes.

B．American smokers ought to try e-cigarettes.

C．Every kind of cigarettes should be forbidden in America.

D．Most of the Americans don’t like e-cigarettes.

26．According to Zogby International，e-cigarettes ________.

A．are much safer than common cigarettes

B．are popular among people who want to quit smoking

C．will take the place of traditional cigarettes

D．are produced in a safer way by manufacturers

27．What’s the attitude of the WHO towards e-cigarettes?

A．Negative. B．Supportive.

C．Doubtful. D．Indifferent.

28．What can we conclude from the last paragraph?

A．People can smoke e-cigarettes in places where smoking is forbidden.

B．Most women agree that e-cigarettes should be available to smokers.

C．Young adults and singles are the main groups who agree to try e-cigarettes.

D．The problem of smoking is becoming worse around the world.

It’s good to make mistakes, and here is why.

First of all, mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things. It’s always good to try new things because when you are trying new things you are growing. If you never try anything new, how can you improve? How can you expand? The simple answer is “You can’t”. Look around you. With very few exceptions, either everything you see in your physical world or every single detail of every single thing is the result of someone trying something new．

Another good thing about mistakes is this: When you are making mistakes, you are learning. Consider this: Edison failed 10,000 times before he perfected the light bulb. When asked how it felt to fail that many times, he said that he hadn’t failed 10,000 times, but rather had learned 10,000 things that didn’t work．

Finally, when you make a mistake you are much closer to success. Why?

Because when all is said and done, you will have tried some number of things before you succeeded. Every time you make a mistake you eliminate one of those things and are one step closer.

But this all doesn’t mean that you should go ahead without considering the consequences of a mistake. Quite the contrary, when you try something new you have to be willing to set some reasonable limits so that in the event that it doesn’t work out the way you want it to, you will be in a position to try again.

We all have limited resources in the form of time and money, so don’t blow them all on one approach to a problem. Realize that it probably won’t be perfect the first time and allocate（分配）these resources appropriately so you can learn, make corrections, and try it again. Only by accepting and using your mistakes in this way can you make significant advances in your business and your career.

There is an old saying that goes, “If you’re not making mistakes, you’re not trying hard enough.”

So go forth and make mistakes. And learn. And grow. And prosper（成功）.

29．From the second paragraph, we can conclude that _______．

A. mistakes are unnecessary for development B. we are afraid of trying new things

C. mistakes are better than not trying D. it’s common for people to make mistakes

30．The underlined word “eliminate” means _______.

A. avoid B. solve C. accept D. remove

31．According to the article, one thing you should pay attention to about making mistakes is_______ .

A. avoiding making the same mistakes B. taking consequences into account

C. accepting the punishme
