22、 movies. Actors light up in more than 50 percent of youth-rated (G, PG, PG-13) movies, according to the American Legacy Foundation, which aims to put an end to smoking among young people.

24、 smoking scenes in movies than teens who are lightly exposed to smoking in movies.Several organizations are working to remove smoking in youthrated movies.

29、ls called plankton. Most of these plants and animals are too small for the human eye to see. They move about lazily with the currents, providing a basic food for many larger animals. Plankton has been described as the equivalent (相等的东西)of the grasses that grow on dry land, and the comparison is an a

30、ppropriate one. In potential food value, however, plankton far outweighs that of land grasses.
