Passage2If you come to Australia,leave your naughty habits at the door. If you live here,get back in your box.The Australian government announced in the Federal Budget on Tuesday that it will be slogging smokers top dollar for a pack of ciggies.Right now,they cost on average A$25($18.91)to A$30 for a packet of 20 or 25 cigarettes,which would already seem like highway robbery to anyone living in any other country on earth. Now,the government will be increasing the cost of cigarettes by 12.5%annually for four years. The increase will smack smokers in September each year.If you work off a packet costing AS25 today,by 2020 it will set you back a hefty AS40.So unless you are living in a life of luxury,it is probably going to break the bank. Must be time to read the How to stop smoking book your old neighbor Dave recommended in 2012.If you think you'll just bring the cigarettes in through the duty free back door,think again. The government is reducing the amount of cigarettes you can bring into the county from 50 cigarettes to 25 cigarettes. Not 25 packs,25 individual cigarettes. That's one packet.This price hike will earn the government A$4.7 billion and it will take the tax excise on cigarettes to almost 69% of the average price of a cigarette currently. This is in line with recommendations from the World Health Organization, which advised governments to increase tax by 70% so that it becomes unaffordable.These changes will improve the health of Australians by reducing their exposure to tobacco products and will ensure that tobacco products consumed domestically are fully taxed and comply with Australian regulations. the government noted in the budget papers.This increase will see Australia remaining easily the most expensive place in the world for smokers. In 2015, cigarettes in the city of Melbourne cost 142% more than in New York. Cigarettes in Sydney were 130% more, according to a Deutsche Bank report.Australia already has plain packaging laws, which see cigarettes wrapped in generic mould green color and slapped with a photograph of a dying baby.No more sneaky ciggies for you, casual smoker!What does the naughty habits in the first paragraph refer to?
A

Slogging smokers top dollar for a pack of ciggies.

B

Taking tax excise on cigarettes.

C

Smoking cigarettes.

D

Reducing the amount of cigarettes.

Dear Mr. Wang,

I very much regret I was unable to attend your English class next Friday.

As you may know, we senior students have been busy looking for jobs since the beginning of this semester. Luckily, I have got an opportunity to be interviewed by a well-known large public company, which I have longed to enter. Unfortunately, the interview is scheduled for next Friday. I really don’t want to miss this valuable chance, so I have to ask for leave. I know mid-term exam is approaching, and next Friday’s class is important. In order to make up for it, I will ask a classmate to copy your PPT and take notes for me. I will study them carefully and hand in all the homework on time.

I shall be very much obliged if you can approve my application. Sorry for any inconvenience caused by my absence.

Yours sincerely,

Li Ming
