The American screen has long been a smoky place, at least since 1942’s, Now, Voyager, in which Bette Davis and Paul Henreid showed how to make a romantic deal over a pair of cigarettes. Today cigarettes are the most common onscreen: 75% of Hollywood films show tobacco use, according to a recent survey by the University of California, San Francisco.
Audiences, especially kids, are taking notice. Recent studies have found that among children as young as 10, those exposed to the most screen smoking are up to 2.7 times as likely as others to pick up the habit. Worse, it’ s the ones from nonsmoking homes who are hit the hardest.
Now the Harvard School of Public Health(HSPH)—the folks behind the designated-driver campaign—are pushing to get the smokes off the screen. "We’re in the business of preventing disease, and cigarettes are the No. 1 preventable cause," says Barry Bloom, HSPH’s dean. "A possible way to do it is to expose them to enough good examples." That’s why the designated-driver concept caught on in the 1980s, when Harvard and the ad agencies persuaded TV networks to slip the idea into their shows. "The idea appeared in 160 prime-time episodes over four years and drunk-driving fatalities fell 25% over the next three years."
Harvard long believed that getting cigarettes out of movies could have as powerful an effect, but it wouldn’t be easy. Cigarette makers had a history of striking product-placement deals with Hollywood, and while the 1998 tobacco settlement prevents that, nothing stops directors from plugging smoking into scenes on their own.
In 1999 Harvard began holding one-on-one meetings with studio executives trying to change that. Harvard’s advice was clear: Get the butts entirely out, or at least make smoking unappealing. A few films provide a glimpse of what a no-smoking—or low-smoking—Hollywood would be like. Such movies are hardly the rule, but the pressure is growing. Like smokers, studios may conclude that quitting the habit is not just a lot healthier but also a lot smarter.
The second paragraph is written to______.
选项
A、analyze the data related to on-air smoking
B、explain why smoke-based movies are popular
C、display how screen smoking affects children
D、show kids above 10 are the most likely to smoke
答案
C
解析
推断题。第二段第一句指出观众,尤其是小孩,开始注意到这些。接下来的第二句指出最近的研究发现,10岁儿童中,经常看吸烟镜头的孩子吸烟的几率是那些不看这类镜头孩子的2.7倍,更糟糕的是,这些吸烟的孩子大多是来自父母都不吸烟的家庭。由此可知正确答案为C,作者写第二段的目的是为了显示吸烟镜头对孩子们的影响。
