Further medical authorities express their 31 about the effect of smoking 32 the health not only of those who smoke but also of those who do not.

Part 3 reading comprehension 50points Passage One
Some of the notebooks George Washington kept as a young man show what he was learning. He was learning Latin. He was very interested in the basics of good behavior in society and was reading English literature.
At school he seems to have been interested in mathematics. In fact his formal education was surprisingly brief and incomplete. For unlike other young men of good families, he did not go to the College of William and Mary in the Virginian capital. In terms of formal training then, Washington was different from some other early American Presidents such as John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. In later years, Washington probably regretted his lack of intellectual training. He never felt comfortable in a debate in Congress, or on any subject that had nothing to do with everyday practical matters. And because he never learned French and could not speak directly to the French leaders, he did not visit the country he admired so much. Thus, unlike Jefferson and Adams, he never reached Europe. 46. What reason does the author give for Washington not going to college? A. His family could not afford it. B. A college education was rather uncommon in his time. C. He didn’t like the young Virginian men of good families who went to college. D. The author doesn’t give any reason.
47. Washington felt uncomfortable in Congress debates because he _____. A. lacked practice in public speaking B. felt his education was not enough
C. didn’t like arguing and debating with people D. felt the others were being impractical
48. The reason why Washington didn’t visit France was probably that he ____. A. didn’t really care about going B. did not know the French leaders
