Simple tips on ROAD TRIP PREPARATION Preparing a road trip can be tiring. There are a few things you can do to make it a success. | |
①SERVICE YOUR CAR Keep your car running well by getting an oil change before you head out on the road. Check the tires (轮胎) too! You'll save yourself a headache later on. | ③TAKE THINGS TO DO While road trips are definitely (确定地) about the destination (目的地), make sure you pack things for your kids to do to kill the time. At least for an hour or two. It will stop them from complaining all the time. |
②DON'T FORGET THE SNACKS The only thing worse than "Are we there yet?" is "I'm hungry!" every 2 minutes. So pack snacks. Lots of snacks. | ④STOP FREQUENTLY Half of the road trip is getting there. There is nothing fun about getting to your destination completely exhausted (筋疲力尽的). Stop at cool places, get some fresh air and take a look around. |

Several months ago, New Zealand announced a plan. Under the plan, the country would make it illegal(非法的) for people born after 2008 to buy cigarettes(香烟). {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. And it won't make a difference to smokers now.
Starting in 2023, people under the age of 15 would be stopped from buying cigarettes. After that, the age limit(限制) for buying tobacco products would be raised every year. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. In short, the move will stop people born after 2008 from ever buying tobacco products.
Tobacco products contain something poisonous(有毒的) called nicotine(尼古丁). Though nicotine isa poison, when people have a little bit of it, it can give them an excited feeling. Over time, nicotine changes the body so people feel like they need more of it. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. Then people are unable to stop taking it. That's why it's so difficult for people to stop smoking.
{#blank#}4{#/blank#}. It's one of the leading causes of deaths around the world. In New Zealand, about 5,000 people die every year from illnesses connected with smoking.
No country has ever tried an age limit- raising smoking plan like New Zealand's before. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. We expect the plan to have important influences.
A. This may be a good try B. They may feel sick if they don't get more C. Smoking is very dangerous to human health D. People spend a lot of money in buying cigarettes every year E. The plan is made to prevent young people from ever starting to smoke F. By 2050, someone would have to be at least 42 years old to buy cigarettes |
