A young man is lying in hospital sadly. The 24-year-old lost his right leg. The doctor said that his long history of smoking was the reason. “I first smoked when I was 14. It made me feel like a man and I thought it looked cool. Now I know I was wrong,” said the young man.

It is a mistake many young people make. According to the survey, 40 million of China’s 130 million young people aged between 13 and 18 smoke. Fifteen million of them are addicted (上瘾的). The survey also found that about 68% of young smokers first smoked before the age of 13.

Many young people see people smoke in the movies, but in real life, stars like Jackie Chan think smoking is a bad thing and not cool at all.

Doctors say that if a person starts smoking very young, he or she may live 22 years less than those who don’t smoke. 51. How long did the young man smoke? A. For 10 years. B. For 13 years. C. For 14 years. D. For 18 years.

People began to make robots about several hundred years ago. In the past, some of the early ones looked like animals or humans. However, they couldn’t talk and were pretty dumb. They worked like clocks and did the same things over and over again.

In the future, robots will learn from their mistakes more than they do now. They will be smarter. It’s possible that we will have robot judges, robot household workers, and robot factory workers. Robots will help people to do more things. 56. How long is the history of robots? A. Hundreds of years. B. Several hundred years. C. Seven hundred years. D. A hundred year.
