Should Americans be forced to Public Transportation? First, let me define what the question is and isn’t asking. It isn’t asking if we should we all abandon cars right now, nor is it asking if we should abandon them completely, nor is it asking if every American should do so. It is asking whether some Americans should have to take public transit some of the time, and I would say yes.Oil use and pollution aside, in some cities like Los Angeles and New York there just isn’t room for any more roads, so in order for large cities to grow, they need more people to take public transit or risk permanent traffic jam. One bus can safely hold 40 people so even at half capacity that’s nearly 20 cars’ worth of space in traffic cleared up, and nearly 20 parking spaces that don’t need to built.There are a lot of people that can take with transit little inconvenience but simply don’t because they never have in the past. If residents in areas with plenty of transit had to buy transit passes as part of their property taxes then they would have little excuse not to bus occasionally. QA number of universities already bundle a ‘U-Pass’ with their tuition feeds, forcing their students to take the bus. When given the change the majority of those students have voted to keep these programs.A similar system in apartments where a portion of the tenants are not issued parking spaces in exchange for a discount on their rent would also be community car to several apartment tenants that arrange a schedule for the car, and this program gets many positive reviews.So yes, I would say that Americans should be forced to use public transit, as Americans whom are already forced to do so find that it works well for them.Taken from: www.helium.com 1.What does the writer suggest?
- A.

Faster Planes and Cheaper Flights Faster planes and cheaper flights are making it easier than ever before for people to travel. In the most 'developed' societies, visiting exotic places is a sought-after status symbol. The tourism industries of both developed and developing countries have recognised this fact and are learning to take advantage of it.There are, however, some problems associated with this new industry. Firstly, there is the increasing crime rate. Some local's tourists as an easy prey because, not only are they in unfamiliar territory and therefore less able to take care of themselves, but also they carry visible items of wealth, such as cameras and jewelery which can be disposed of quickly for profit.Another major problem is health. With greater mobility comes greater danger of spreading contagious diseases around the world. One carrier returning home could easily start an epidemic before their illness was diagnosed. Moreover, the emergence of many diseases which resist antibiotics is causing scientists to be increasingly concerned about this issue.Also to be considered is the natural environment, which can be seriously threatened by too many visitors. Australia's Great Barrier Reef, for example, is in danger of being destroyed by tourists and there are plans to restrict visitors to some of the more delicate coral cays.These are just three of the reasons why any country should be wary of committing itself to an extensive tourism development program.

- E.

Correct Answer
B. It can be destroyed by too many visitorsExplanation
The natural environment becomes a serious problem associated with faster planes and cheaper flights because it can be destroyed by too many visitors. As travel becomes more accessible and affordable, there is an increase in the number of tourists visiting natural attractions. This influx of visitors can lead to over-tourism, causing damage to delicate ecosystems and natural resources. For example, the Great Barrier Reef in Australia is at risk of being destroyed by tourists. Therefore, the natural environment becoming threatened is a significant concern when considering the impact of increased tourism.Rate this question:

- D.

- E.
The tourists come by plane.
Correct Answer
A. Some tourists carry visible items of wealth.Explanation
The crime rate is increasing due to the new industry because some tourists carry visible items of wealth. This makes them an easy target for criminals who see them as an opportunity to quickly profit from valuable items such as cameras and jewelry. The tourists, being in unfamiliar territory, are less able to take care of themselves and are therefore more vulnerable to crime.Rate this question:

Anybody who is over the age of six knows that there is nowhere safe for skateboarders to skate. This prevents young people from enjoying an active, energetic and adventurous pastime.Just watch a local street for a short while and note the steady stream of skaters speeding up and down the footpaths. Toddlers can be trampled on and old ladies can be knocked down as they struggle home carrying their cat food from supermarkets.Skateboarding is a serious sport that improves young people’s health. It increases fitness, improves balance and strengthens the joints in knees and ankles. Although it appears to be a solo sport, when groups practice together and compete to perform stunts or runs they form firm friendships.Young people should be prevented from becoming overweight couch potatoes. If they are actively involved in skating, they do not smoke, take drugs or break laws for fun.Kids will always seek thrills and excitement. They need to practice their 180s, 360s and Olliea’s free from restrictions. We must build skate parks in the suburbs so that streets are safe for small children and senior citizens and skaters have spaces where they can race, chase, speed, and soar towards the sun. Where do the kids usually ride their skateboard?
- A.
At their home
- B.
At the playground
- C.
At the public places
- D.
In the main roads and foot paths
Correct Answer
D. In the main roads and foot pathsExplanation

It also mentions a steady stream of skaters speeding up and down the footpaths, indicating that this is a common location for them to ride their skateboards.Rate this question:

NEVER TRY SMOKING A lot of people, especially teenagers, who do not smoke, always want to try smoking. They know it is bad for them and all, but it is just something they want to try. So they ask one of their smoker friends for a cigarette. Admittedly, they firstly can not light it on their own so they ask his friend to do it. Then they inhale that cigarette and smoke occasionally. Apparently that makes them the born smokers. Now they do smoke fairly regularly. They can not avoid smoking and they enjoy too. They have smoker friends. Everyday they bring a pack in their pocket. For them, a pack of cigarette is as important as a wallet for their money. Suddenly, for certain reason, they realize the fact that tobacco is the cause of a long list of nasty diseases. It is not only heart disease, stroke, and chronic lung disease but also bladder, lung, and pancreatic cancer. Even it was reported that around 400,000 Americans died each year. It was one every 80 seconds from tobacco-related illnesses. Then they decide it is stupid to harm selves. They want to quit smoking. Unfortunately, they find that quitting smoking is so difficult. “Why can't I stop smoking? I really want to stop it”. It is hard to quit because nicotine is powerfully addictive. Cigarette is one of the most efficient drug-delivery devices ever devised. As result, when people try to quit smoking, they often experience classic nicotine withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety, irritability, headache, depression, and restlessness. Why is it hard for smokers to quit smoking?

It is hard for smokers to quit smoking because cigarettes contain nicotine. Nicotine is a highly addictive substance that is found in tobacco products. When people try to quit smoking, they often experience withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety, irritability, headache, depression, and restlessness. This is because their bodies have become dependent on nicotine, and quitting causes a physical and psychological craving for the substance. Therefore, the presence of nicotine in cigarettes makes it difficult for smokers to quit.Rate this question:

They have smoker friends. Everyday they bring a pack in their pocket. For them, a pack of cigarette is as important as a wallet for their money. Suddenly, for certain reason, they realize the fact that tobacco is the cause of a long list of nasty diseases. It is not only heart disease, stroke, and chronic lung disease but also bladder, lung, and pancreatic cancer. Even it was reported that around 400,000 Americans died each year. It was one every 80 seconds from tobacco-related illnesses. Then they decide it is stupid to harm selves. They want to quit smoking.

Correct Answer
B. Weak HeartExplanation
The negative effect of smoking is a weak heart. Smoking is known to increase the risk of heart disease, including heart attacks and strokes. The chemicals in tobacco smoke can damage the heart and blood vessels, leading to the buildup of plaque and narrowing of the arteries. This can result in reduced blood flow to the heart, causing it to work harder and become weaker over time. Smoking also increases blood pressure and heart rate, further straining the heart. Ultimately, smoking can greatly increase the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases and can have a detrimental effect on heart health.Rate this question:
