A. READING COMPREHENSION
Read the following passage carefully and choose the best answer
Smoking causes lung cancer. Lung cancer is the number one cancer among men.
Ninety percent of the people who get lung cancer die. Smokers have six times as much
cancer of the mouth, tongue and throat as non-smokers. Smokers have twice as much
heart disease. Smoking gives people breathing problems. It harms the stomach. Smoking
causes one million early deaths every year.
Throughout the world, women live longer than men. Why ? Because men smoke
more. Non-smoking men live just as long as women.
Smokers pollute the air. They breathe out 100 times as much pollution as non-
smokers. They breathe it out on their children and on their wives or their husbands.
Children whose parents smoke have more breathing and lung problems than other
children. Among non-smoking women married to smokers, there are twice as many
deaths from lung cancer as there are among women married to non-smokers. Men have
the right to kill themselves if they want to. They do not have the right to kill their wives
and children by smoking.
Smokers are absent from work more. Factories and businesses lose millions of
dollars every year because of smokers. Smokers have higher medical bills.
All of these facts from research show that smoking is bad. So why do people
smoke ? Young people start smoking because everyone else is doing it. They feel grown
up and independent. It helps them relax. Then it becomes a habit.
It is difficult to stop smoking, but the chance of getting lung cancer decreases
only one year after you stop. After ten years the chance is almost the same as for non-
smokers. It is possible to quit smoking. Thirty million people in the United States have
quit because they believe the research. You or your friend can quit, too.
