Facsimile, often called fax, is a way of transmitting texts and pictures over telephone lines. News services
often use facsimile to send news, stories, and photographs to newspaper and television stations. Banks, law
firms, and other businesses use facsimile to send copies of documents to clients and other organizations.
A device called a facsimile machine is used for transmitting and receiving images. Facsimile machines
resemble small photocopiers. However, they are equipped with a telephone or are connected to one. To send
a document, the user inserts it into the machine and dials the telephone number of the receiving fax machine.
After the connection is made, an electronic scanner on the transmitting machine moves across the page and
converts the image into a set of electric signals. These signals travel over the telephone line to the receiving
fax machine. That machine converts the electric signals back into an image of the original document and then
prints a copy.
Some business people use small desktop fax machines or portable models at home or when they travel. A
personal computer can also be used to send and receive documents if it is equipped with a special electronic
circuit board called a fax board.

Cigarette smokers are said to have a good chance of getting various fatal diseases. But, I think that other
peoples tobacco smoke seems to increase the chances of non smokers getting a wide range of cancers.
First, although passive smokers inhale less tobacco smoke, the researchers point out that the smoke they
breathe in is richer in many toxic chemicals. There is, for example, three times as much as benzo-apyrene,
six times as much as toluene and more than 50 times as much as dimethyllnitrosamine. of course these
substance will harm our body in the long run.
Secondly, the recent research indicated that the risk of getting cancers not normally associated with smoking
also rose among passive smokers. The risk of leukemia rose 6 8 times and the risk of cervical cancer
increased 3-4 times.
Thirdly, past studies have found that the products of cigarette smoke such as nicotine and thiocyanate, turn
up in the blood, urine and saliva of non smoking adults, children and fetuses that have been exposed to
smokers. These substances are the main causes of various cancers.
In short, the effects of exposure to the cigarette smoking of others are greater than has been previously
suspected. That is why passive smokers have more chances of contracting cancer than people with no such
exposure.
39. The following statements are true based on the text, except
A. Toxic chemicals in cigarettes smoke are not the only causes of cancers.
B. Cigarette smokers have great possibility to get various fatal diseases.
C. Researchers said that passive smokers also have the risk of getting cancers.
D. The researchers have found the amount of people suffering from leukemia and cervical cancer increasing.
E. Passive smokers have little chances of getting deadly disease than the smokers
40. The following substances are included into the toxic chemicals in tobacco smoke, except
A. toluene
B. saliva
C. nicotine
D. thiocyanate
E. benzi-apyrene
