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, 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(难以置信的) 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(转移) 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(卓越的) health organization, to cite(引证) but a single instance, now spends 28 cents of every publicly contributed dollar on "education" (much of it in antismoking propaganda)and only 2 cents on research.
There will always be some who want to build wails, 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 number who know that walls are only temporary(暂时的) 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 nonsmokers.
B、doing scientific research at the expense of one’s health.
C、bringing smokers and nonsmokers together.
D、proving accommodation for smokers.
答案
A
解析
文章的最后一段说Whatever virtue walls may have,they cart never move our society toward fundamental solutions.意为: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。可见作者很反对这种墙的建立。而只有A提到了wall,故选A。
