American doctors say that mothers who smoke cigarettes before their babies are born may slow the growth of their babies’ lungs. They say that reduced lung growth could cause the babies to suffer breathing problems and lung disease later in life. Doctors in Boston, Massachusetts studied 1,000 children. The mothers of some of the children smoked, the other mothers did not. Doctors found that the lungs of the children whose mothers smoked were 8% less developed than the lungs of the children whose mothers did not smoke, and that the children whose mothers smoked developed 20% more cold and breathing diseases than other children later in life.

    Another recent study found that children had a greater chance of developing lung cancer if their mothers smoked. The study also showed that the danger of lung cancer increased only for sons and not for daughters, and that the father’s smoking did not affect(影響) a child’s chance of developing lung cancer.

In the early days, many people in San Francisco came from China. Some worked as labors in the gold fields, and others on railroads. These were poor people when they first came to America. They worked very hard to save money.

When the Chinese could afford to, they built houses much like their homes in China. Some opened stores to sell products from China to other Chinese. Others opened restaurants to serve Chinese foods. These people enjoyed the things they were used to having in their homeland.

Today, Grand Avenue is the main street to the very large Chinese-American community called Chinatown. Children who live in this area go to the San Francisco City School. Some also go to Chinese language schools to learn how to read and write Chinese.

People from different places enjoy visiting Chinatown. They may buy beautiful carvings or silks in the Chinese shops. They like to eat the different foods served in the Chinese restaurants.

Visitors to Chinatown also enjoy hearing the sounds of China. The music seems strange because it sounds so different from American music.
