The measure is part of a larger pa
10、ckage of laws aimed at reducing tobacco use. If Governor Jerry Brown signs the bill, California will become the second state, after Hawaii, to raise the age limit for buying cigarettes and other tobacco products. More than 100 cities in the U. S., including New York and Boston, have already raised t
11、he age limit. A week ago, the California Assembly approved the measure, whichin addition to raising the age limittreats electronic cigarettes the same as tobacco products, expands smoke-free areas, increases smoking bans and allows counties to collect higher taxes on cigarettes than the 87-cent per
12、pack state tax. The Assemblys vote came a few days after the city of San Francisco increased the age to buy tobacco products to 21. California lawmakers passed the bill despite lobbying (游说 ) from tobacco interests. The measure also faced opposition from many Republicans, who said the state should n
13、ot be involved in policing peoples personal choices. “I dont smoke. I dont encourage my children to,“ said Republican Assemblyman Donald Wagner. “But theyre adults, and its our job to treat our citizens as adults.“ But supporters of the bill say raising the age to 21 moves legally purchased tobacco
14、that much farther from younger kids. “This will save the medical system millions of dollars,“ said Democratic Assemblyman Jim Wood. “It will save thousands of lives.“ A 2015 study by the Institute of Medicine “found that if the minimum legal age to buy tobacco were raised to 21 nationwide, tobacco u

19、go to medical school. When she was growing up, women could not go to medical school. So how did she become a doctor? She simply pretended that she was a man. No one knows Dr. Barrys real name, her birth date, or her familys background. Some records show that she was born in 1795 in London. Some peop
20、le say she was the daughter of a rich man or a royal prince. One fact we know is that in 1810, James Barry became a medical student at the University of Edinburgh. James Barrys classmates made fun of her because she didnt have a beard and she was only five feet tall. But no one thought she was a gir
21、l. At the age of 20, James Barry graduated from the University of Edinburgh as a Doctor of Medicine. She was one of the youngest students to complete her studies.

23、ent a lot of time in foreign countries. She travelled to India, Corfu, Malta, and Jamaica. In 1856 she went to South Africa, and she was soon known as the best doctor and surgeon in the colony.

28、 ). The eighth-grader was inspired to kick off his mission on a recent morning, when his mother was driving him to school. Their car was damaged as it went over a huge pothole in the middle of the street in their hometown of Jackson, Mississippi. “I decided I was going to do something about the poth
29、ole problem in my city,“ Chokwe says. His solution: an app (手机应用 ) that warns drivers when there is a pothole ahead. Chokwe developed the app with his friends Rodriguez Ratliff and Emmanuel Brooks. “When the app detects a pothole, it is highlighted (突出显示 ) in red,“ Chokwe says. “And if you get close
30、 to the pothole, your phone will warn you. “ Drivers can also use the app to report any potholes they encounter, and to look for other routes they can take to avoid roads that have them. The app relies on current available information about the streets of Jackson. “It works by using the citys 311 ca
31、ll system, so it uses information already stored in a database,“ Chokwe says. Through the call system, citizens dial 3-1-1 to report non-emergency problemswhich include potholes. Chokwe and his friends determined that focusing on the 10 busiest streets in Jackson would give them a large enough sampl
32、e size to test the prototype (原型 ). Although the app isnt yet available for sale, Chokwe is already looking for ways to improve it. The prototype remains limited to 10 streets in Jackson, but he hopes to add more, so that it includes every street in the city. And then he wants to go even farther. “I

36、d has made extraordinary progress in reducing poverty in recent decades. The research suggests that the pace of economic progress has been rapid and continued for decades, built on the foundations of relative political stability, rising trade, and economic liberalization after two world wars. One ne
37、w study, published recently by the Institute for International Economics in Washington, find that the proportion of the 6.1 billion people in the world who live on $ 1 a day or less shrank from 63 percent in 1950 to 35 percent in 1955 and 12 percent in 1999. By some other measures, the progress has
38、been more modest. Still, economists agree that poverty has plunged in key nations such as India and especially China, thanks to slowing population growth as well as economic freedom. “This is a huge success for the world as a whole,“ says Harvard University economist Richard Cooper. “We are doing so
39、mething right.“ The news comes as the World Bank is about to open its annual meeting in Washingtonan event that has been troubled in recent years by protests that the Bank and its sister Institution, the International Monetary Fund (IMF 国际货币组织 ) , have done too little for the world s poor. The new e
40、conomic research will not put an end to that dispute. Vast populations remain poor, and many still question the wisdom of World Bank policies. Nonetheless, the research findings are helpful to understand what policies should be followed by those institutions and hundreds of other development groups
41、working very hard to hasten the pace of world economic progress. If dramatic gains are under way, the present policies-calling for open markets, free business activities, and tight monetary controlare working and correct. But critics of IMF and World Bank policies maintain that such economic success
42、 stories as Japan, China, South Korea and Singapore are rooted in more than just “free“ markets. These nations have managed to grow rapidly, and thereby reduce poverty, by limiting imports when their domestic industries were young, pushing exports to rich nations, and putting controls on purely inte
43、rnational financial flows. They have been open to foreign-owned factories but have often insisted that those investors share the knowledge and skill on modern technologies. 26 The word “plunged“ in the first paragraph means_. （ A） decreased （ B） climbed （ C） increased （ D） dropped into water 27 From
