Smoking in indoor public places including public working places, public transport has been banned(禁止)in China since January 2011.Let’s look at the following advantages of banning smoking.
First, banning smoking will not only help in saving smokers from health problems and diseases, but also be good for passive(被动)smokers. When the smoker is smoking in a restaurant, the people around him are sure to breathe in the smoke and suffer from the diseases . If smoking is banned, spread(传播) of these diseases can be controlled.
Next, banning smoking will put stress on smokers to give up. Since a smoker is prevented from smoking, he will learn how to live without smoking for long hours. When a smoker doesn’t smell or see anybody around him smoking, it might reduce his wish to smoke too. As a result, people have to give up smoking.
In public places ,smoking influences non-smokers to start smoking, especially adolescents. When teenagers see people around them smoking, they will follow them easily. So a lot of teen smokers will in crease(增加). Also asthma(哮喘)and other problems are often seen in children living around smokers. So if it is banned, these places will become safe for children and teenagers.
Smoking should be banned to increase work productivity(生产率).Workers who smoke usually have a break to smoke while working. So the number of their working hours is smaller.
Smoking should be banned beecause it causes air pollution. If it is banned, it will help keep the environment from getting worse.________ doesn’t belong to a non-smoking place.

阅读下面语言材料，根据要求作答。根据短文内容，判断文后句子的正确(T)与错误（F）
“How are you?” is a nice question. It’s a friendly way that people in the U.S.A greet each other. But “How are you?” is also a very unusual question. It’s a question that often doesn’t need an answer. The person who asks“ How are you?” hopes to hear the answer “Fine”, even if the person’s friend isn’t fine. The reason is that “How are you?” isn’t really a question and “Fine” isn’t really an answer. They are simply other ways of saying “Hello” or “Hi”.
Sometimes, people also don’t say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone Asks “Do you agree?”, the other person might think, “No, I disagree. I think you’re Wrong...”But it isn’t very polite to disagree so strongly, so the other person might say “I’m not sure.” It’s a nicer way to say that you don’t agree with someone.
People also don’t say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking with other people. For example, many talks over the phone finish when one person say “I’ve to go now.” Often, the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse: “Someone’s at the door.”“Something is burning on the stove.” The excuses might be real, or not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn’t want to talk any more, but it isn’t polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesn’t hurt the other person.
Whether they are greeting each other, talking about an idea, or finishing a talk, people don’t say exactly that they are thinking. It’s an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and it’s part of the game of language.“How are you?” is another way of saying "Hello." or" Hi."
It is polite to say" No. I disagree I think you are wrong, "if you don’t agree with others.
When someone says "I have to go now "On the phone.it means he wants to go on talking.
"Someone is at the door." may be an excuse for finishing a phone.
Sometimes people don’t say exactly what they are thinking about just because they try to be nice to each other.
