     Each year, a half-million people die from smoking in China which in 1990 overtook the United States
in the number of such deaths. And by the year 2025, 2 million Chinese will die each year from smoking
and related diseases, Professor Wang said when he talked about a report from the World Health
Organization.
     With westerners increasingly (日益)dropping the habit, the smoking population in China is on a
constant increase. "In 1964 the smoking population in America was 54 percent, which dropped to 26
percent by the year 1996," Wang said smoking has become a popular game, especially among young
people and women. Wang pointed out that women are more and more the targets (目標(biāo)) of tobacco
selling. "As China sees repaid changes in women's role (角色), smoking among women is increasing,
with most new smokers being educated women."
     Wang said that in countries such as the United States and Britain where female smoking was popular
long ago, there were more lung cancers caused by smoking than breast cancers (乳腺癌), becoming the
largest cancer-killer of women.
     "At present only some 8 percent of Chinese women smoke, which has kept the total smoking
population below 40 percent. If women in China insist on demanding the same rights as men, the figure
will at least double in the present one." Wang said.

        Different weather makes people feel different. It influences (影響) health, intelligence (智力) and
feelings.      
         In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there have heart trouble
and other kinds of health problems during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at
some times and very cold at other times. People in these states have more heart trouble after the weather
changes in February or March.
         The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 1983 report by scientists, IQ (智商) of a
group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10%
lower. The wind can help people have more intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year (July
and August).Weather also has a strong influence on people's feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people.
They usually feel cold during these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But fat people may
have a hard time in hot summer. At about 18℃, people become stronger.
          Low air pressure (氣壓) may make people forgetful. People leave more bags on buses and in shops on
low-pressure days. People feel best at a temperature of about 18℃.
          Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful, or unhappy today? It may be the weather's problem.
