The California lawmakers voted Thursday to raise the legal age to buy tobacco products from 18 to 21. The measure is part of a larger package of laws aimed at reducing tobacco use. If Governor Jerry Brown signs the bill, California will become the second state, after Hawaii, to raise the age limit for buying cigarettes and other tobacco products. More than 100 cities in the U.S., including New York and Boston have already raised the age limit.A week ago, the California Assembly approved the measure, which ----in addition to raising the age limit----treats electronic cigarettes the same as tobacco products, expands smoke-free areas, increases smoking bans and allow counties to collect higher taxes on cigarettes than the 87-cent per pack state tax. The Assembly’s vote came a few days after the city of San Francisco increased the age to buy tobacco products to 21.California lawmakers passed the bill despite lobbying(游说）from tobacco interests. The measure also faced opposition from many Republicans, who said the state should not be involved in policing people’s personal choices. “ I don’t smoke. I don’t encourage my children to,” said Republican Assemblyman Donald Wagner. “But they’re adults, and it’s our job to treat our citizens as adults.” But supporters of the bill say raising the age to 21 moves legally purchased to tobacco that much farther from younger kids. “This will save the medical system millions of dollars, “ said Democratic Assemblyman Jim Wood.”It will save thousands of lives.” A 2015 study by the Institute of Medicine “ found that if the minimum legal age to buy tobacco were raised to 21 nationwide, tobacco use would drop by 12 percent by the time today’s teens reached adulthood.In addition , there would be 223,000 fewer premature(过早的）deaths and 50, 000 fewer deaths from lung cancer.”Which of the following is the first state to raise smoking age to 21” The California law includes all the following measures EXCEPT（ ）.The word policing in Paragraph 3 probably means （ ）.Who is against the bill?Which of the following is appropriate title for the passage?

Jayden Hairston was very disappointed. More than anything in the world, he wanted to learn how to sing. His school in Yonkers–––– just north of New York City didn't offer the music instruction he needed. So he begged his parents to sign him for after-school lessons. Jayden's mother wanted to help her son follow his passion. But private lessons were too expensive. Jayden.then 6 years old, knew exactly what to do. He took out his iPad. Then he began searching after- school arts programs. He soon came across the website for Harlem School of the Arts (HSA), in New York City. There, he could take voice and dance lessons. It was a bit far fromYonkers. But he convinced his parents to take him for a visit.That was three years ago. Now Jayden is one of HSA'S most active students. He takes singing, dancing. or theater lessons almost every day after school. Last year, he performed in seven productions. Like Jayden. students in many communities across the United States have limited access (使用的机会和权力) to arts instruction in schools: HSA is one of many nonprofit groups that bridges this gap by offering affordable arts classes. Groups like HSA are funded by donations (捐赠) and state grants Many also receive money from the federal government's National Endowment (基金)for the Arts (NEA). The NEA was established in 1965. Its goal is to promote access to the arts for all Americans.Some people, however, believe it's not the responsibility of the federal government to provide arts funding. President Donald Thump's 2019 proposal calls on Congress to reduce NEA funding and eventually eliminate the agency, The Trump administration argues that private and other public sources already provide finding for the arts. Congress has yet to make a decision. Supporters of arts education say cutting the NEA is a bad idea. It could leave many children unable to participate in the arts. That's because 40% of the agency s grants go to high-poverty neighborhoodsWhich of the following is the b
