10、我写信给你的真正原因,我亲爱的孙子。你妈妈告诉我,你不久前开始吸烟了,而且现在你发现很难把它戒掉。相信我吧,我知道开始吸烟是多么容易而戒烟是多么困难。你知道,当我还是一个十几岁的孩子的时候,我也吸过烟,而且对烟还上了瘾。By the way, did you know that this is because you become addicted in three different ways? First, you can become physically addicted to nicotine, which is one of the hundreds of chemicals in
11、 cigarettes. This means that after a while your body becomes accustomed to having nicotine in it. So when the drug leaves your body, you get withdrawal symptoms. I remember feeling badtempered and sometimes even in pain. Secondly, you become addicted through habit. As you know, if you do the same th
12、ing over and over again, you begin to do it automatically. Lastly, you can become mentally addicted. I believed I was happier and more relaxed after having a cigarette, so I began to think that I could only feel good when I smoked. I was addicted in all three ways, so it was very difficult to quit.

14、动词,意为“确实;的确”,用于肯定句,起加强语气的作用,有人称和时态的变化。这儿我顺便问你一个问题,你知道上瘾有三个不同方面的原因吗?首先,你会在身体上对尼古丁有瘾,它是香烟里几百种化学物质之一。这就是说,过一段时间以后,你的身体习惯了香烟里的尼古丁。因此一旦你的体内没有这种麻醉剂了,你就会有脱瘾症状。我记得曾感到烦躁,有时甚至痛苦。其次,你也可能因为习惯而上瘾。你知道,如果你反反复复地做同一件事情,你就会开始自动地做它。最后,你可能在心理上上瘾。我那时认为,抽了一支烟后就会感到更轻松愉快,于是我就开始认为只有抽烟才能使自己感觉良好。我(之所以)上瘾共有三个方面的原因,因此,要戒烟就很难。但是
15、我最终还是戒掉了。When I was young, I didnt know much about the harmful effects of smoking. I didnt know, for example, that it could do terrible damage to your heart and lungs or that it was more difficult for smoking couples to become pregnant. I certainly didnt know their babies may have a smaller birth we

Decide on a day to quit. Dont choose a day that you know is going to be stressful, such as the day of an exam.

24、时候,要提醒自己你是一个不吸烟的人。把你早先所写的好处再读一遍。Break the habit. Instead of smoking a cigarette, do something else.

52、According to the poll, most people walk for exercise a few times a week. About a third say they walk every day.But are they kidding themselves to think a walk is really helping them? Should we all be running or jogging if we want to count that activity as good for us? Dr. Tim Church, who studies the

54、 73 minutes a week, the second 136 minutes a week and the third 190 minutes weekly.
