According to the American Medical Association, engineers contain
over 4000 chemicals. The three most deadly chemicals are carbon monoxide
(CO), nicotine and ( A ) . CO is a poisonous gas. ①People sometimes use it to kill themselves by breathing car exhaust fumes. Nicotine is also poison. A few drops (50 mg.) of liquid nicotine can kill
a human. The average cigarette contains about 20mg. of nicotine. Nicotine
is also addictive. Tar is a solid material in smoke. It contains many chemicals
that cause cancer.
②Tar is the main reason why a smoker's lungs stop working properly.
In a normally healthy human, when dirt enters the nose or mouth,
it is pushed out of the body by special cells called ③cilia. When we blow our nose or sneeze, the cilia work to push the dirt out of
our bodies. A smoker's cilia, however, are damaged by the tar and do not
work properly. When a smoker inhales smoke, the cilia do not try to push
it out of the body. Instead, the carbon monoxide, nicotine and tar accumulate
in the smoker's lungs. |

Gasoline and water look alike. Both are clear liquids. But you'd
be silly to try to run a car in water instead of gasoline.
①（ガソリンは車を走らせるのに適した燃料です）because it is a high-energy substance. Gasoline is made ( A ) hydrogen and carbon atoms, loosely bonded to each other. These bonds can
be broken very easily by the heat of an electric spark. Then the hydrogen
and carbon atoms are ready to form strong bonds ( B ) oxygen. ②（それらが酸素と結合すると多量の熱エネルギーを発生します）. In the engine, the heat energy is changed to mechanical energy.
Water is not a good fuel because it is a low-energy substance. That
is, water molecules cannot readily combine with oxygen ③give off energy. This is because they already contain oxygen atoms. These oxygen
atoms are strongly bonded to the hydrogen atoms. These bonds cannot easily
be ( C ). |
