Resuce platfom

In the aftermath of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, security are trying to develop new ways of rescuing people from burning skyscrapers.

The idea for the vertical take off platform was hatched more than ten years ago by a Russian aerospace engineer , David Metreveli ,who has since moved to Israel.

Helicopters are now used in some cases to get people out of burning buildings, So far ,Metreveli has bulita small-scale model of the Eagle to test his idea.

1.A rescue platform called the Eagle is capable of moving vertically but not sideways. B.Wrong

2.The four propellers are fitted horizontally to the Eagle. A.Right

3.With the help of jet engines , the Eagle can fly at a speed of 100miles an hour. C.Not mentioned

4.In the third paragraph,the word helicopter refers to the Eagle. B.Wrong

5.The more jet engines are fitted to the propellers ,the more people the platform can carry. C.Not mentioned

6.In the wake of September 11, Mr Metreveli has secured enough funding up a small-scale model of the Eagle to test hie idea. B.Wrong

7.Mr Metreveli is design for Israel a more advanced form of rescue platform than the Eagle or the Eagl

C.Not mentioned

Smoking

Since 1939,numerous studies have been conducted to determine whether smoking is a health hazard.

Cigarette smoking is believed by most research workers in this field to be an important factor in the development of cancer of the lungs of the throat and is believed to be related to cancer of some other organs of the body.

Apart from statistics ,it might be helpful to look at what smoking tobacco does to the human body. Filters and low tar tobacco are claimed to make smoking to some extent safer ,but they can only
