  One day, when I was working as a psychologist in England,an adolescent boy showed up in my office.It was David.He kept walking up and down restlessly, his face pale, and his hands shaking slightly.His head teacher had referred him to me."This boy has lost his family," he wrote."He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others, and I'm very worried about him.Can you help?”

  I looked at David and showed him to a chair.How could I help him? There are problems psychology doesn't have the answer to, and which no words can describe.Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically

  The first two times we met, David didn't say a word.He sat there, only looking up to look at the children's drawings on the wall behind me.I suggested we play a game of chess.He nodded.After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon-in complete silence and without looking at me.It's not easy to cheat in chess, but I admit I made sure David won once or twice.

  Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed.took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down.It seemed as if he enjoyed my company.But why did he never look at me?

  "Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with," I thought."Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering.”Some months later, when we were playing chess, he looked up at me suddenly.

  "Ifs your turn," he said.

  After that day, David started talking.He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club.He wrote to me a few times.about his biking with some friends, and about his plan to get into university.Now he had really started to live his own life.

  Maybe I gave David something.But I also learned that one-without any words-can reach out to another person.All it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch, and an ear that listens.

  You’re in a department store and you see a couple of attractive young women looking at a sweater.You listen to their conversation:

  “I can’t believe it-a Lorenzo Bertolla!They are almost impossible to find.Isn’t it beautiful?And it’s a lot cheaper than the one Sara bought in Rome.”

  They leave and you go over to see this incredible sweater.It’s nice and the price is right You’ve never heard of Lorenzo Bertolla, but those girls looked really stylish.They must know.So, you buy it.You never realize that those young women are employees of an advertising agency.They are actually paid to go from store to store, talking loudly about Lorenzo Bertolla clothes.

  Every day we notice what people are wearing, driving and eating.If the person looks cool, the product seems cool, too.This is the secret of undercover marketing.Companies from Ford to Nike are starting to use it.

  Undercover marketing is important because it reaches people that don’t pay attention to traditional advertising.This is particularly true of the MTV generation-consumers between the age of 18 and 34.it is a golden group.They have a lot of money to spend, but they don’t trust ads.

  So advertising agencies hire。young actors to“perform”in bars and other places where young adults go.Some people might call, his practice deceptive(骗人的), but marketing executive Jonathan Ressler calls it creative.“Look at traditional advertising.Its effectiveness is decreasing.”

  However, one might ask what exactly is“real”about of young women pretending to be enthusiastic about a sweater?Advertising executives would say ifs no less real than ad.The difference is that you know an ad is trying to persuade you to buy something.You don’t know when a conversation you overhear is just a performance.

  I think cigarette smoking is highly addictive (上瘾) and very expensive. Especially when you're 14 and get a $ 9 weekly allowance. I'm in ninth grade and started smoking in sixth.

  The first cigarette I ever had was in fifth grade. My mom was walking our dogs and found an unopened pack that she brought home to use as an insecticide (杀虫剂) in the garden. A friend had told her that tobacco stops ants from attacking plants. Of course, when I found the pack, I took the cigarettes to my bedroom and being the little rebel I was, lit one with matches I stole from Dad.

  I didn't get a buzz, because I didn't inhale (吸气) but just the fact I was actually smoking made me think I was cool. But my friend Donna didn't think so. She just looked at me like I was the stupidest thing on earth. Which I probably was, because still smoke to this day.

  I've tried to quit, but it's very bard since most of my friends smoke too. When I started smoking regularly at the beginning of sixth grade, not that many students smoked; by the end of the year, a lot were smoking. It was pretty bad.Some kids grades get down, including mine, from skipping closes to get nicotine (尼古丁) into their systems. Now, in ninth grade, I'm still smoking.

  About five months after I started cigarettes, I began smoking marijuana (大麻). There's no doubt in my mind that cigarettes are a gateway drug. Almost everyone I know started smoking before doing drugs. That has to tell you something.

  Since I've smoked, I can smoke. I can hardly run around the block without getting out of breath. My mom quit smoking 18 years ago, and my dad stopped 14 years ago. My morn now has cancer, and my dad had bad three heart attacks. My grandma quit nine years ago, and she has emphysema (肺气肿). Not only that ---- my two grandfathers died from the results of smoking. After all this, you'd think I'd know better than continue.

  Kids of teenagers who think smoking is cool or who want to try it: don't! It might make you feel calmer when you're really worked up, but 20 years from now you could find yourself really calmed down. You, too, could get emphysema, lung cancer, mouth cancer and much more.

  I have told my parents that I will try to stop smoking as a present to them. But I hate the thought of never having another cigarette. You see-- no ifs, ands, or buts---- I'm really hooked.

(1)The writer's purpose in writing the article is ________.

[  ]

A.to warn to the adult not to smoke

B.to advise the youth not to smoke

C.to force parents to stop smoking

D.to ask the school to forbid smoking

(2)The writer began to smoke when she was only ________.

[  ]

A.fourteen
B.eight
C.eleven
D.thirteen

(3)Which of the following statements is true in the article?

[  ]

A.No one is able to give up smoking when he is young.

B.Everyone who does drugs has to learn to smoke.

C.Smoking costs money as well as people's health.

D.The writer's parents both failed in quitting smoking.

(4)When she says “I'm really hooked” the writer means ________.

[  ]

A.I am so addictive that I hardly give up smoking

B.No one is able to make me smoke again unless I die

C.I believe my parents will understand me if I go on smoking

D.I feel sorry that I have no money to buy a present for my parents
