27、ng to Professor William Weis, a smoking employee costs his or her employer about $5, 700 more a year than a never-smoker. These costs include medical care, lost earnings and insurance. And absence due to smoking breaks is one of the productivity problems, yet it accounts for a great deal of employer

28、 costs. When the issue of smoking at the workplace is discussed, perhaps the most important problem is the health risk that smoking causes to both smokers and never-smokers. It has long been proven that smoking is linked to lung cancer. Now many health experts warn that passive smoking can cause lun

29、g cancer and other illnesses in healthy never-smokers. Passive smoking can be defined as exposure to secondhand tobacco smoke in enclosed areas. Anyone who has been with smokers indeed knows that their smoke can cause eye irritation (刺激), coughing, headaches and throat soreness. While eye irritation

30、 may seem a small thing to some smokers, it nevertheless is a problem that occurs every workday in offices and break rooms and can lead to greater health problems. Employees who do not smoke should not be subjected(遭受) to the risks of passive smoking and need to be able to work in a safe environment

31、 Surgeon General Koop states that the right of the smoker stops at the point where his or her smoking increases the disease risk of those occupying the same environment.（分数：10.00）(1).All the following cases are on-the-job smoking except that _.（分数：2.00）A.an employer smokes while working in the offi

32、ceB.a taxi driver smokes while driving the carC.a worker smokes while working in the workshopD.a worker smokes while reading in the train(2).According to the passage, on-the-job smoking affects an employee“s performance in the office in that _.（分数：2.00）A.he can“t concentrate on what he is doing whil

Around the holidays, many families don“t consid

37、er taking proper measures to prevent their homes from suffering holiday thefts. With just a few simple steps, you can better make sure of the safety of your home during all of the holiday celebrations. Here are a few tips for making it difficult to tell you are away from home. Either have a trusted

38、neighbor pick up your mail and newspapers, or tell your mailperson to hold your mail until you return. Nothing says “Hey, we are not home!“ like when your postbox is filled with all kinds of mails and you have many different newspapers in your driveway. Set several different lights in your house on

39、random timers(随机定时器). Don“t leave your outdoor lights on all the time. Instead, put your outside lights on timers to be on during the nights. If an outdoor light remains on for days at a time it means that nobody is home to turn it off. If you have pets that you are not taking with you on vacation,

40、leave them with a friend, rather than having someone come into your house every day to take care of them. When thefts see a neighbor or friend entering your house every day, they will know you are not home. Close all your curtains when you leave town. This is effective to deter possible thefts, as n

41、o one can see what is in your house. If they don“t know what is inside, then they are less likely to run the risk of breaking in. This article just has suggested a few tips to help you keep your house safe while you are on holiday. Nothing can truly protect your home unless you have it monitored by

46、he first half of the twentieth century. Today, a large number of families in Great Britain buy furniture, household goods and cars by installments. In the US, the figure is much higher than in Great Britain, and people there spend over 10 percent of their income on the installment plan. The price of

47、 an article bought on installments is always higher than the price that would be paid by cash. There is a charge for interest. The buyer pays one quarter or one third of the price as a down payment when the goods are delivered to him. He then makes regular payments, weekly or monthly, until the full

48、 price is paid up. The legal ownership of the goods remains with the seller until the final payment has been made. Installment buying has advantages and disadvantages. It can help couples with small incomes to furnish their homes and start housekeeping. It increases the demand for goods, and in this

49、 way helps business and employment. There is, however, the danger that when business is bad, installment buying may end suddenly, making business much worse.

If great numbers of people are not able to pay their installment debts, there is a possibility that businessmen
