阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A，B，C和D）中选出最佳选项。
In the developing countries of Asia, Africa and South America, both women and men connect the smoking of cigarettes with wealth, leisure, development , and Western values . Advertising in many of these countries is not limited by the health conscious codes(准则) , laws and controls that trouble the North American and European tobacco advertisers. As a result, unaware of the long-term health costs, the developing countries' most wealthy citizens take up smoking as a sign of material success.
The transnational tobacco companies are currently engaged in aggressive development of the only market left—the developing countries. It is recognized that the market in developed countries is full, and in many areas decreasing, while the market in developing countries is increasing markedly. The British American Tobacco Company, for instance, reported in 1979 a drop of 1.2% in the North American market but an increase in size of 2.1% in the developing world. The tobacco industry is not dying, rather, its challenge, which is being met, is to move both the growth, production, and marketing to the developing countries. It is proved possible to create tobacco dependency in increasing numbers of women and men through clever advertising in countries yet to develop regulatory(调整的) codes on the advertising, sales, and production of cigarettes.
Since the richer people require the smoking habit fist, more men than women at present smoke in the developing countries. However, the irony (讽刺意味的) of“progress”for women is clear as most of the women liberated from unfair cultural and religious customs and beliefs in the developing countries are also those most likely to smoke.
1．The passage mainly tells us ________.
[ ]
A．tobacco marketing techniques in developing countries
B．about the drop in the North American tobacco market
C．a growing tobacco market in the developing countries
D．the proportion(比例) of men and women smoking in developing countries
2．The passage implies that the tobacco market is going down in North America and Europe because of ________.
[ ]
A．the religious and cultural beliefs
B．improper advertising
C．the decreasing of population
D．the health conscious codes, laws and controls
3．The irony of“progress”for women in developing countries refers to the fact that ________.
[ ]
A．many people in South America smoke
B．the liberated women are the most likely to smoke
C．the more wealthy women will get used to smoking first
D．through advertising, tobacco dependency is increased
4．From the passage we learn that, in the opinion of the writer, ________.
[ ]
A．smoking must be forbidden by governments
B．the tobacco companies of the western countries are kind and clever
C．cigarette smoking shows one's material success
D．smoking is stupidly wrong no matter where it is

Recent weeks have seen a wave of new books, stamps, movies, television programmes, newspaper articles, songs and performances, all celebrating the 100th anniversary of the birth of Deng Xiaoping, on August 22. To Chinese people, he was no doubt one of China’s greatest leaders.
Many Westerners remember Deng as “a little man with great ideas”. He was famous for his practical and direct manner, shown in famous slogans such as “No matter if it is a white cat or a black cat; a cat that can catch rats is a good cat” and “Poverty is not socialism”.
In 1979, as the first top Chinese communist leader to set foot in the United States, he was regarded as a symbol of friendship when he wore a cowboy that in Houston, Texas, and rode around in a stage coach.
“His straightforward manner earned the trust of the American people. He changed the American people’s traditional view of Chinese leaders and China,” said David Lampton, a well-known American expert on China. “He succeeded in strengthening Chinese diplomatic relations.” Lampton said that Deng opened China up to the rest of the world and helped develop more friendly relations with the West.
“Deng’s reform increased the world’s understanding of China and today Americans are no longer afraid of China,” said Mike Wallace, an American journalist who interviewed Deng in 1986. At that time, he said, China was still mysterious in the eyes of Westerners.
Talking of his impression of Deng, Wallace said he was very honest and clever. He recalled a conversation at the beginning of the interview. “I started the interview by saying ‘reporters don’t normally get to meet you’. Deng answered, ‘Because I am an ordinary person’. Then I asked, ‘Why did you decide to have the interview with us at this time?’ He replied, ‘Because I want to know American people and that they can know China better; by American people I also mean American leaders’.”
Though he interviewed many international leaders, Wallace thought Deng was very different form them all. Maybe the fact that Deng was selected twice as “Person of the Year” by the world-famous American Time magazine tell it all.
