Smoking in your own home in Thailand may now be considered a crime , if the smoke is considered harmful to . other people in the house.

The new law , Family Protection and Development Promotion Act , was initiated(启动) by the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security and was announced in the Royal Gazette on May 22 ,2019.

The law aims at curbing smoking at home which might be hazardous for others" health residing under the same roof. In that case, it will be considered as “domestic violence". The new law came into force on August 20.

According to the center for research and knowledge management for tobacco control , at the Faculty of Medical Science of Mahidol University , there are about 4.9 million households where one or more family members smoke.

An average of 10. 3 million people have unwittingly (不知不觉地) become passive smokers because they"ve been breathing in smoke at home. Scientific studies show that passive smokers are al greater risk of being affected by cancer.

Of 75 child patients from houses where smoking is practiced ,76% of them were found to have nicotine traces in their urine , with 43% of them having nicotine content exceeding permissible levels.

Smoking at home also “may lead to physical or emotional violence” because of aggressiveness when there is a . lack of smoking, and might as well ruin relationships between smokers and non-smoker family members.

We know that reading is good for children. Now, a new study suggests that just being around books has its benefits. A team of researchers in Australia finds that growing up with a large library at home improves literacy( 读写能力) ,number-sense , and even technological skills in later life. It appeared in the journal Social Science Research.

The researchers were exploring the advantages of scholarly culture. They were interested in a curious observation that some call the “radiation effect".“Radiation effect is a situation where children grow up around books , but they don"t read books. But somehow books benefit them, even though they don"t read them as much as their parents wish them to,” said Joanna Sikora , a sociologist in Australia. Joanna and her colleagues analyzed data collected between 2011 and 2015 by the Organization for Economic Development. The survey assessed the literacy,numeracy(计算能力) , and technological competency of more than 160 , 000 adults from 31 countries. And it included a question about how many books participants had in their homes during adolescence.“What we were able to make clear was that people growing up around books had better literacy , numeracy and digital problem-solving skills than people who had fewer books growing up but had similar education levels , similar jobs ,and even similar adult habits in terms of reading or working at various numeracy-improving activities," she said.[来源:jzjy365.com]

In fact , teens who only made it through high school but were raised in a bookish environment did as well in adulthood as college graduates who grew up in a house without books. Now , how might mere exposure lead to intellectual improvement?“If we grow up in a house , in a home where parents enjoy books , where books are given as birthday presents and valued , this is something that becomes a part of our identity and gives us this lifelong urge to always come close to books and read more than we would.”

So keep shelves piled with books. Your kids will not only be grateful, they"ll be more likely to be able to spell “grateful" correctly as well.

32. What"s “radiation effect" according to the text?

A. The terrible effect of radiation on the persons and things.

B. The good influence of the bookish environment on adolescents.

C. The beneficial effect of reading books on adolescents.

D. The bad effect of the environment without books on adolescents.

33. How does the exposure to books improve intellect?

A. Books bring a sense of identity and eagerness to read more.

B. Books help to provide a chance to come close to society,

C. Books are always given to adolescents as valuable presents.

D. Books will offer the teens an urge to make great achievements.

34. What"s the author"s attitude towards bookish environment?

A. Opposed.          B. Neutral.      C. Indifferent.     D. Supportive.

35. What"s the best title for the text?

A. Reading More Helps Improve Children"s Abilities

B. Reading at Home Brings Children Many Advantages

C. Growing Up Around Books Benefits Children a Lot

D. Creating a Bookish Environment for Children Is of Much Importance
