A single cigarette sold on a street corner may not cost a lot: however, the overall costs of smoking are huge. First, consider the cost of human life. The World Health Organization says about 10 people die of tobacco-linked diseases every minute. That rate adds up to almost six million people dying from such diseases every year.
The majority of these preventable deaths happen in low-income and middle-income countries. The World Bank says each of these countries has a gross national income of less than $12,746.
For most people, stopping smoking is hard Many began smoking as teenagers. They are used to it. Also, tobacco contains the powerful drug nicotine.
Studies show people who want to stop smoking can do so with different treatments. Some get help from electronic cigarettes, medicine or nicotine patches that reduce one’s desire for the drug.
Dr. Nancy Rigotti works at Massachusetts General Hospital in the United States. She says she finds that medicine and counseling services together work best of all.
Other experts and former smokers offer even more effective advice: if you are considering starting smoking, don’t.
In fact, smoking costs more than the life of an individual. It can affect the health of an entire country.
The World Health Organization says low-income countries depend heavily on taxes from cigarettes. They use the money, in part, to pay the costs of health care for tobacco-related diseases.
But the illegal trade in tobacco products is further testing the economies of low-income countries. WHO officials say the illegal trade earns about $31 billion every year.
Douglas Bettcher is the director of the WHO’s Department for the Prevention of Non-Communicable Diseases. He calls the illegal trade a monster with many heads. He says the trade enables young people to buy cigarettes at low prices, become addicted to tobacco and suffer serious health problems. It also increases crime and reduces tax revenue.’
The World Health Organization is urging the United Nations member states to sign a treaty to end the illegal trade in tobacco products. Eight countries have approved the treaty. But the approval of 32 other countries is needed for it to become international law. If the treaty succeeds, governments could put people who trade illegal tobacco products in jail—another cost to countries’ budgets.
23. What do we learn about smoking from the lecture?
24. What is the best way to stop smoking according to Dr. Nancy Rigotti?
25. What does the WHO urge UN member states to do about illegal tobacco trade?
选项
A、To turn to electronic cigarettes.
B、To use medicine or nicotine patches.
C、To take medicine and counseling services.
D、. To stop thinking about smoking.
答案
C
解析
选项均是与戒烟相关的行为描述,可预测题目可能询问戒烟的具体措施。Dr.Nancy Rigotti发现药物和咨询服务结合在一起(medicine and counseling services together)是最好的戒烟方法。因此C项为正确答案。讲座提到人们可以通过不同的方法戒烟,例如使用电子香烟,药物或尼古丁贴片以减少对尼古丁的欲望,但这不是Dr.Nancy Rigotti发现的最好的戒烟方法,因此A项“使用电子香烟”和B项“使用药物或尼古丁贴片”均可排除。录音中还提到,其他专家和成功戒烟者提供了更有效的建议:如果你正在考虑开始吸烟,立刻停止想法,但这也不是Dr.Nancy Rigotti提出的,故排除D项“停止吸烟的想法”。
