But 37 fewer of those surveyed were aware of the 38 of third-hand smoke. Since the term is so new, the researchers asked people if they agreed with the statement that "breathing air in a room 39 where people smoked yesterday can harm the health of infants and children"。
Only 65 percent of nonsmokers and 43 percent of smokers agreed with that 40 , which researchers interpreted as acknowledgement of the risks of third-hand smoke.

I didn't cry when I learned I was the parent of a mentally(脑力地) disabled(残疾) child. I just sat still and didn't say anything while my husband and I were told that two-year-old Kristi was --- 36 we thought ---retarded（弱智的）.

The tallest boy in the line stepped 48 Kristi and placed his hands on her waist. Two other boys stood a little ahead of her. 49 the player in front of Kristi stepped from the sack, those two boys seized the sack and held it 50 while the tall boy lifted Kristi and 51 her neatly into it. A girl in front of Kristi took her hand and 52 her carefully until Kristi gained her balance. Then off she jumped, 53 and proud.
Among the 54 of teachers, schoolmates and pa
rents, I walked off by myself to thank God for the 55 , understanding people in life who make it possible for my disabled daughter to be like her fellow human beings.
Then I finally cried.
