  Teens and young people-those folks who take the car without asking and pretend not to hear when you ask them to turn down the music-seem to be more likely to stop smoking if they think their smoke could harm those around them.

  “The kids were mere concerned about the harmful effects of secondhand smoke than they were concerned about themselves,” says Stanton Glandz, a professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco.

  The belief that secondhand smoke harmed people around them mere doubled the chances that the young smokers were planning to stop their habit in 30 days or already had given up.

  However, the same wasn't true when the young people were asked whether they were worried about their own health risks because of smoking. Glantz says the responses were not statistically (从统计上) important as a sign to show that concern would lead them to give up smoking.

  The research studies 300 smokers and 300 non-smokers between 14 and 22 years of age.

  Previous studies have found that the ill effects of second-hand smoke are enough to cause adult smokers to give up or at least consider it, but Glantz says this is the first proof that teens also are affected by these concerns.

  “Like adults, kids are concerned about the effect of smoking on others,” he says. “One of the big mistakes that anti-smoking people have made is that they've treated kids differently from adults.”

  The tobacco companies treat kids like adults, and that's part of the attraction, Glantz says. Those trying to get kids to stop smoking should do the same, he says.

  About 4 million teenagers smoke, according to the American Heart Association (学会), and more than 3000 teens under the age of 18 become daily smokers every day. If these continue, about 5 million of those teens will die of some disease caused by smoking, the association estimates (估计).

  Previous studies of how anti-tobacco advertising affects people have shown that worry about secondhand smoke, information about the addictive qualities of tobacco and reports about the tobacco industry's dishonest behavior are the three most highly effective messages that affect people to stop smoking. Glantz says.

  “People who design tobacco control programs for teens should be putting more emphasis on cleaning indoor air and secondhand smoke,” he says.

1.In Stanton Glautz's opinion, young people in America give up smoking because they consider ________.

[  ]

A.non-smoker's health

B.their own health

C.their parents' worry

D.the merchants' dishonesty

2.Glantz suggests anti-smoking people pay more attention to ________.

[  ]

A.the increasing number of teenage smokers

B.the effects of smoking on teenagers

C.the similarity between young people and adults

D.the difference between young people and adults

3.The “Addictive qualifies of tobacco” make people ________.

  This is not the world we know.The World is controlled by computers.Men and women can be seen, but they are following the orders given to them by machines.The machines were designed by mad scientists.but at some point even the mad scientists were taken by their super inventions.

  Does this scenario sound familiar?You have probably read something like it in magazines or science fiction books, or seen it in a science fiction film.Why is the film so popular?One of the reasons is undoubtedly that it reflects the fears of many people; fear of the unknown, fear of what is not understood or, at least, fear of something that is only partially comprehended.This fear is perhaps not very different from the way witches and black cats were feared in the Middle Ages.

  The fact is that every day it seems that computers take control of another area of our lives.Some factory jobs fire now done by robots and the robots are controlled by computers.Our bank accounts are managed by computers.At the airport.our tickets are issued and our seats fire assigned by a computer.Certainly, many of these operations are made more efficient by computers, but our admiration is sometimes combined with feelings of insecurity.And this insecurity is caused by the fact that we do not know how computers do these things, and we really don't know what they might do next.

  But we can find out how computers work and once we understand them, we can use computers instead of worrying about being used by them.Today, especially in the United States, there is a new generation of computer geniuses who know exactly how computers get things done.These young men and women, usually university students, are happy to sit for hours, sometimes for days, designing programs, not eating, not sleeping, but discovering what can be done by the wonderful slaves which they have learned to dominate.These computer geniuses, or“hackers”as they call themselves, have learnt to exploit me computer and constantly search for new tasks for their machines.

  Hackers are in no danger of being taken over by a supercomputer which they may invent.They already have their computers under control.One computer program which was designed by a hacker became honorary member of the United States Chess Federation.Another ex-hacker, Steven Jobs, former owner of Apple Computer Company, used his computers to make him a millionaire before he was thirty.With such knowledge on the human side.It seems we have little to fear from machines.
