The disagreements between the North and the South centered on the following five issues: slavery, tariffs, taxes, political power in the House of Representative, and political power in the Senate(30). People in the North had strong feelings about each of these issues. So did the people in the South. Each side had reasons for the way it felt.
Many people in the North did not believe in slavery. They thought the people of the South should not own slaves. Although some southerners opposed slavery, most felt they needed slaves to raise cotton and tobacco, which were the pillar economy. On the other hand, the North's economy was based on manufacturing industry not plantation agriculture. The northerners opposed slavery in the South since they had not enough people to work in their factories and wanted to get human resources (31). In the end the North won the war and the Union was saved.

A.In 1816.
B.In the middle of 1800s.

Recently Surgeon General Richard Carmona released the government's largest report ever on secondhand smoke. For example, it says nonsmokers increase their risk of lung cancer by up to thirty percent if they live with a smoker.
He noted the added dangers faced by children who have to breathe secondhand smoke. These children are at increased risk for sudden infant death syndrome, severe breathing problems and ear infections. The report says smoking by parents also slows lung growth in their children.
Scientists have estimated that secondhand smoke kills about fifty thousand adults in the United States each year.
The report says separating smokers from nonsmokers or trying to clean the air in buildings is not enough protection. Doctor Carmona noted the progress in establishing smoke-free public places in the United States. Blood tests show that Americans are being exposed to secondhand smoke in fewer numbers and at lower levels since the late 1980s.
What does the passage say about the secondhand smoke?
A.It threatens public health.
B.It gets more serious in the United States.
C.It is more dangerous than AIDS.
D.It is a topic of public debate.

You don't have to look very far to find out why the official reactions to medical findings have been so lukewarm. The answer is simply money. Tobacco is a wonderful commodity to tax. It's almost like a tax on our daily bread. In tax revenue alone, the government of Britain collects enough from smokers to pay for its entire educational facilities. So while the authorities point out ever so discreetly that smoking may, conceivable, be harmful, it doesn't do to shout too loudly about it.
This is surely the most short-sighted policy you could imagine. While money is eagerly collected in vast sums with one hand, it is paid out in increasingly vaster sums with the other. Enormous amounts are spent on cancer research and on efforts to cure people suffering from the disease. Countless valuable lives are lost. In the long run, there is no doubt that everybody would be much better-off if smoking were banned altogether.
Of course, we are not ready for such a drastic action. But if the governments of the world were honestly concerned about the welfare of their peoples, you'd think they'd conduct aggressive anti-smoking campaigns. Far from it! The tobacco industry is allowed to spend staggering sums on advertising. Its advertising is as insidious as it is dishonest. We are never shown pictures of real smokers coughing up their lungs early in the morning. That would never do. The advertisement always depict virile, clean-shaven young men. They suggest it is manly to smoke, even positively healthy! Smoking is associated with the great open-air life, with beautiful girls, true love and togetherness. What utter nonsense!
For a start, governments could begin by banning all cigarette and tobacco advertising and should then conduct anti-smoking advertising campaigns of their own. Smoking should be banned in all public places like theatres, cinemas and restaurants. Great efforts should be made to inform. young people especially of the dire consequences of taking up the habit. A horrific warning—say, a picture of a death's head—should be included in every packet of cigarettes that is sold. As individuals, we are certainly weak, but if governments acted honestly and courageously, they could protect us from ourselves.
Why do a few governments take timid measures toward smoking?
A.Because they are afraid of people.
B.Because diseases cost a lot.
C.Because they are afraid of the cutting down of their revenue.
D.Because they are afraid of manufacturers.

Pressure mounted on Britain on Monday to take action on (51) smoking with new research showing second - hand smoke (52) about one worker each week in the hospitality industry (服务行业) .
Professor Knorad Jamrozik, of Imperial (帝国的) College in London, told a conference on environmental tobacco that second – hand (53) kills 49 employees in pubs, bars, restaurants and hotels each year and contributes to 700 deaths from lung cancer, heart (54) and stroke across the total national work force.
"Exposure in the hospitality (55) at work outweighs (超过) the consequences of exposure of living (56) a smoker for those staff," Jamrozik said in an interview.
Other (57) have measured the levels of exposure to passive smoking but Jamrozik calculated how it would translate into avoidable deaths.
His findings are (58) on the number of people working in the hospitality industry in Britain, their exposure to second - hand smoke and their (59) of dying from it.
Jamrozik said the findings would apply to (60) countries in Europe because, to a greater or (61) extent, levels of smoking in the community are similar.
Professor Carol Black, president of the Royal College of Physicians, which sponsored the meeting, said the research is proof of the need for a ban on smoking in (62) places.
"Environmental tobacco smoke in pubs, bars, restaurants and other public places is (63) damaging to the health of employees as well as the general public," she said in a statement.
"Making these places smoke - free not only protects vulnerable (易受伤害的) staff and the public, it will (64) help over 300,000 people in Britain to stop smoking completely," she added.
Ireland recently became the first country to introduce a national ban on smoking in public (65) . New York and parts of Australia have taken similar measures.
