Common Problems, Common Solutions
The chances are that you made up your mind about smoking a long time ago—and decided it’s not for you.
The chances are equally good that you know a lot of smokers—there are, after all about 60 million of them, work with them, play with them, and get along with them very well.
And finally it’s a pretty safe bet that you’re open-minded and interested in all the various issues about smokers and nonsmokers—or you wouldn’t be reading this.
And those three things make you incredibly important today.
Because they mean that yours is the voice—not the smoker’s and not the anti-smoker’s — that will determine how much of society’s efforts should go into building walls that separate us and how much into the search for solutions that bring us together.
For one tragic result of the emphasis on building walls is the diversion of millions of dollars from scientific research on the causes and cures of diseases which, when all is said and done, still strike the nonsmoker as well as the smoker. One prominent health organization, to cite but a single instance, now spends 28 cents of every publicly-contributed dollar on "education" (much of it in anti-smoking propaganda) and only 2 cents on research.
There will always be some who want to build walls, who want to separate people from people, and up to a point, even these may serve society. The anti-smoking wall-builders have, to give them their due, helped to make us all more keenly-aware of choice.
But our guess, and certainly our hope, is that you are among the far greater number who know that walls are only temporary at best, and that over the long run, we can serve society’s interests better by working together in mutual accommodation.
Whatever virtue walls may have, they can never move our society toward fundamental solutions. People who work together on common problems, common solutions, can.
In paragraph "you" refers to______.
选项
A、smokers
B、nonsmokers
C、anti-smokers
D、smokers who have quitted smoking
答案
D
解析
第四段中的“you”是谁呢?可以从第一段中得知,是指那些早就决定不吸烟的人,因为这些人从前吸烟,但后来觉得吸烟不适合他们。所以在四个选项中D才是正确的。
