Wang Bing’s father began smoking when he was in college. His friend passed him his first cigarette(香烟). He has now been smoking for more than 30 years. It’s an example of how young people are introduced to cigarettes,except that nowadays smokers develop their habit at an even younger age. It has become a main worry in China that many teenagers begin to smoke. A showed that 22. 5 % of the middle school students questioned had tried smoking and 15. 8% of them smoked regularly(经常). For many teenagers, smoking is a symbol of being an adult,maturity (成熟) and attractiveness because the images who they love best often smoke on screen.
The social environment also plays an important role in attracting(吸引)teenagers, to smoking. They are used to seeing their elders, especially male (男性)family members, smoking at home. Many of them imitate adult behavior and become new smokers.
To increase the price of cigarettes is a useful way to reduce the number of young smokers, as teenagers have no enough money to spend on them.
Another way is to teach the teenagers to refuse cigarettes. A survey shows that 92. 5% of the students know smoking will be bad for their health. If we tell them, in a proper way, most of them may give up smoking.
All in all, the society, the government, the school and the family should join together to take the responsibility(责任)for an anti-smoking(禁烟)act aimed at teenagers,not just to put empty words and warnings on cigarette packs.The writer uses the first paragraph to _______.

文。并按信息表的项目要求填写信息。
Dear Li Ming, How is everything going with you? Now let me tell you something about three meals in our country. We know people here are different from people of many other countries. English breakfast is usually a very big meal of fried eggs, bread, cakes, tomatoes, tea, coffee and fruit. But we often eat a quick lunch only sandwiches and a cup of coffee. Children at school can have a hot meal of meat or fish. We usually have our dinner of beef or fish with vegetables from 7 p.m. To 9 p.m., and if we have dinner with friends, it can last very late at night. On weekends, we like to have meals with all the family members. We always begin with soup or snacks, then we eat chicken, beef, with potatoes, vegetables and many other things such as salad and fruit. We also like food from other countries, especially food from France, China, Italy and India. What about your eating habits? Could you tell me something about what you eat in your country? And tell me some table manners. I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon. Yours, Kate |
