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, 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 non-smokers—or you wouldn’t be reading this.
And those three things make you incredibly important today.
Because they mean that it’s your 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 non-smoker 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 greatest members who know that walls are only temporary at best, and that over the long run, we can serve society’s interest 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.
It is evident that the author is not in favor of______.
选项
A、building a wall between smokers and non-smokers
B、doing scientific research at the expense of one’s health
C、bringing smokers and non-smokers together
D、proving accommodation for smokers
答案
A
解析
判断推理题。根据文章最后一段首句Whatever virtue walls may have,they can never move our society toward fundamental solutions(无论什么样的道德墙都未曾,也不能推动我们的社会去解决基本的问题)可知作者很反对这种墙的建立,因此A最为合适。
