Smoking remains a common scene in some public places. 要求: (1)就此材料发表你的看法； (2)紧扣材料，有明确的观点； (3)词数不少于60； (4)在答题卡上作答。 参考答案： As is mentioned in the material, we are confronted with a problem that there are still many people smoking in public places in China.    From my perspective, smoking in public places should be banned.

Remember everybody is responsible for it. 三、 阅读理解 18. Mom was a teacher most of her life.
