问题     Smoking is a harmful habit and makes one addicted once they start doing it. However, what are the reasons why people still continue to smoke? These people know the harmful and if long term, even life threatening effects of smoking but it seems nobody heeds(注意)the warning.
    The number of teenagers smoking today has increased. Teenagers experience a feeling of isolation. It is the time that they art: confused which role to take in society. Most of them usually have identity crisis at this age and smoking makes them feel better. Once they start smoking, they soon love the feeling of contentment it brings them.
    Peer(同龄人)pressure is also a great factor. At this stage, teenagers feel their parents don’t understand them. Those who are non-smokers are often convinced by smokers to engage in this activity. Teenagers feel that if they won’t join the group, they would lose their friends and will be left alone in which they don’t want to happen. This is the reason why they continue smoking to be accepted by them.
    There are also some people who smoke because of the nature of their jobs. Those who work in a very cold area or at sea. smoke to keep their bodies warm. At this time, smoking brings them good benefits. Call center agents and those who work at night love drinking their favorite cup of coffee and smoking at the same time while waiting for their shift at work. This is to keep them awake and attentive to answering their clients and finishing their assigned task.
    Smokers are also those who are experiencing feelings of depression. They find it hard to face the challenges life brings. They feel that what can make them feel better is by smoking and drinking. It is true that smoking could make them feel better but it is just a temporary feeling of relief.
In which of the following situation is it unacceptable to smoke?
选项 A、People want to feel better when they are experiencing depression.
B、People want to keep warm if they work at sea or a cold place.
C、People want to keep awake when they have to work at night.
D、People want to be attentive when they work as a call center agent.
答案A
解析 解答此题需要结合全文。作者提到多种情况下吸烟都是有害的，只有第四段是例外。该段提到，那些在很冷的地方或者在海上工作的人通过抽烟来保持身体温暖。在这个时候，抽烟能给他们带来好处。呼叫中心服务人员和在夜间上班的人喜欢在等待换班的同时喝杯他们最爱的咖啡，并抽支烟，这是为了让自己保持清醒和精神集中，以便应对客户的电话以及完成指定的任务。从这里可以看出，作者认为在以上情况下是可以抽烟的。再结合第五段来看，在A)中出现的情况下，作者是不赞同吸烟的。
