According to the study, how many smokers said they preferred menthol cigarettes? [br]
It is estimated that over 400,000 Americans every year die of smoking related diseases. But kicking the habit is not so easy. A new study finds that smokers who smoke menthol cigarettes could have more trouble trying to quit compared to people who use non-menthol cigarettes. When a study began in 1985, 1,500 smokers had a medical exam and answered the questions about their smoking habits. 63% of the smokers said they preferred menthol cigarettes, and these smokers who preferred menthols were less likely to have quit smoking after 15 years. 69% of the menthol smokers were still smoking when researchers asked again about smoking habits in the year 2000. Among people who had originally preferred non-menthol cigarettes, 54% were still smoking in 2000. The researchers say that both menthol and non-menthol cigarettes are equally dangerous, but menthol cigarettes may actually be harder to quit.
The Capitol is certainly the center of American politics, but a new website from the Non- partisan Center for Responsive Politics shows that the Capitol is also a center of wealth. Ac- cording to data on the opensecrets.org website, more than a third of members of Congress are millionaires. That’s substantially more than the population at large where about 1% are worth seven figures. The data on the site is called from annual financial disclosures where congress- men and women report a range of assets and liabilities. Who’s the richest? Wisconsin senator Herb Kohl, elected to the Senate in 1988 and heir to the Kohl’s department store fortune, he tops the list. He’s worth at least 270 million dollars. Representative Jane Herman from California is the richest of representatives. Herman was first elected in 1992 and reports that she’s worth at least 168 million dollars. Her family co-founded a multi-billion-dollar audio equipment company. Treasury secretary Hank Paulson is the richest member of the executive branch, reporting a net worth of at least 190 million bucks. Money he made running the investment bank Golden Sachs.

此题比较难,因为它考的是细节问题。在文章中并没有着重地介绍那个名单中最富有的人,而只是非常简略地提了一下。因此,解题的技巧就在于考生在听之前要先审题,有准备地去听。
