I. Read the following passage carefully and choose the best answers for
each sentence from 1 to 5
Smoking is not as common in American as in many other countries.
Generally, Americans smoke less than Europeans and much less than Asians. It is
a practice that is becoming less and less socially acceptable. Smoking is
prohibited in many places. It is not allowed in any public buildings, on any public
transportation (including airplane flights within the United State), in shops, in
movies theaters, schools, and office buildings. The general rule is if you are
indoors, then you probably are not allowed to smoke. The exceptions are bars,
nightclubs, and some restaurants. If a restaurant does allow smoking, it will only
be in an area that is designated for smokers. If you are with someone, even
outdoors, it is polite to ask if they mind before you start smoking. The legal
smoking age in American is 18. If you are buying cigarettes (or another tobacco
product) and you look young, the store clerk is required by law to ask you for
proof of legal age. You should be prepared to provide identification.
