答案Examiner:Thank you. Now here is a list of bad aspects of smoking what do you think? I’d like each of you to choose three from the list and tell each other why. If you hold different opinions ,you may argue. You may also add your own ideas that are not listed here. All right. Would you begin now? Key Points: 1. The World Health Organization estimates that more than four million people die each year from the effects of cigarette smoke. The number is increasing. 2. Smoking not only leads to lung cancer but many other diseases such as heart attacks, sore throats, headaches, chronic bronchitis, etc. 3. Doctors say that you will probably live longer if you stop smoking. You will feel better and look better. You will also protect the health of family members who breathe in your smoke. 4. The World Health Organization claims that diseases linked to smoking are responsible for at least 2, 500, 000 deaths in every year. 5. An American scientist estimated that smokers who average a packet a day for 20 years will lose about eight years of their lives. 6. Pregnant women who smoke run the risk of having deformed babies. 7. Children exposed to parental cigarette smoking are put at a higher risk of developing lung diseases later in their lives. 8. Nicotine can have a tranquilizing effect in highly emotional situations, therefore helping to calm people down, and wipe out their fatigue. 9. Most research workers in this field believe that cigarette smoke is an important factor in the development of cancer of the lungs and cancer of the throat. It is also believed to be related to cancer of the bladder and the oral cavity. 10. Male cigarette smokers have a higher death rate from heart disease than men who do not smoke. Female smokers are thought to be less affected because they do not breathe in the smoke so deeply. 11.Smoking is considered a’health hazard because tobacco smoke contains nicotine, a poi-sonous alkaloid, and other harmful substances such as carbon monoxide, acrolein, ammonia, prussic acid, and a number of aldehydes and tars. 12.Smokers have a significantly greater chance of contracting lung cancer than nonsmok-ers, the rate varying according to factors such as the number of cigarettes smoked per day, the number of years the subject smoked, and the time in the person’s life when he or she began smoking. 13. Cigarette smoke was also found to be an important cause of cancers of the oesophagus, nasopharynx, mouth, larynx, kidney, and bladder as well as a cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, emphysema, heart disease, strokes, and other cardiovascular diseases. 14.Nowadays, smoking is popular. There are a large number of smokers all over the world. Even some teenagers smoke. If you ask them, "Why do you smoke?" They might answer, "Don’t you know? It is cool. " But it is really a cool thing to do? I’m afraid I can’t agree to this. 15.Smoking is not only harmful to the smokers themselves, but also results in the deaths of nonsmokers. 16.Statistics show that passive smoking is causing 3000 to 5000 lung cancer deaths a year among American nonsmokers. 17.Smoking makes the indoor environment far more polluted than the outdoor environment. 18.Smoking not only pollutes the air but also makes the streets dirty, for some smokers flick the ash off their cigarettes and throw their cigarette butts on the ground. 19.In this way smoking spoils the beauty of our countryside and is bad for our environment. 20.Smoking is an expensive habit, a smoker who consumes a packet of cigarettes a day will have to spend at least 100 yuan each month------more than one third of the average salary in China. 21.Buying tobacco is a waste of money. Normally, it costs a smoker 3 to 5 yuan a day for his cigarettes. That is about a hundred yuan a month, or about one thousand yuan a year. We have so many better ways to use this money, why do we spend it on something that is harmful to our health? 22.Smoking consumes a great deal of money. Smoking wastes 200 billion dollars each year around the world. Smoking harms the health of smokers and is the main cause of lung cancer. About three billion people die from diseases related to smoking every year. 23.More and more people are aware of how harmful smoking is. Tobacco consumption is on the decrease. This tendency is made clear by the following figures: in 1994 the amount of tobacco produced worldwide totalled 14. 364 billion pounds. This figure dropped to 14. 2 billion pounds in 1995. At the same time, many countries called people to give up smoking. The number of smokers is certainly on the decrease, but how to solve the other problems mentioned above?
