Some recent reports on the death penalty have brought some interesting responses from readers all over the country．Although I really don’t like to make fun of people who oppose the death penalty because they are so sincere, I wish they would come up with some new arguments to replace the worn-out ones．
For example, many said something like this: “Wouldn’t it be better to keep the killers alive so psychiatrists(精神科医生) can study them in order to find out what makes them the way they are?”
It takes the average psychiatrist about five years to figure why a guy wants to stop for two drinks after work and won’t quit smoking．So how long do you think it will take him to determine why somebody with an IQ of 92 decided to murder the little old lady who lives next door? Besides, we have a huge number of killers in our prisons—more than enough to keep all the nation’s psychiatrists busy for the next 20 years．
Another standard is: “The purpose of the law should be to protect society, not to give cruel punishment, such as the death penalty．”
In that case, we should tear down all the prisons and let all the criminals go because most people would consider a long period in prison to be cruel punishment—especially those who are locked up．Even 30 days in the Cook County Prison is no picnic．
And: “What gives society the right to take a life if an individual can’t?” The individuals who make up society give it that right．Societies perform many functions that individuals can’t．We can’t carry guns and shoot people, but we give that right to police．
Words can not explain the suffering the families of murder victims are left to live with．The families suffer a terrible loss, and they live with terrible memories．The knowledge that the killers are alive and will probably remain alive and cared for by society is extremely painful．Probably, people who oppose the death penalty should try explaining to these people how cruel it is to kill someone．

查看习题详情和答案>> Should ecigarettes (electronic cigarettes) be a new choice for the smokers trying to get rid
of the habit? Reactions from Americans are mixed．More than half of the people questioned in
a survey think ecigarettes should be controlled by the US Food and Drug Administration,but 47
percent believe the ecigarettes should be available to the smokers who want to quit．
"In the hunt for a safer cigarette,ecigarettes are becoming a popular choice among those either
trying to quit or looking to replace standard tobacco smoke with an alternative that manufacturers
claim to be safer," Zogby International,which conducted the survey,said in a statement．
About half of the 4,611 adults who took part in the survey had heard about ecigarettes,which
are batterypowered,or rechargeable cigarettes that vaporize a liquid nicotine solution．They do not
produce smoke but a water vapor without smell．Sold mostly on the Internet,ecigarettes were first
made in China．
Last year the World Health Organization (WHO) warned against using ecigarettes,saying there
was no evidence to prove they were safe or helped smokers break the habit．The WHO said people
who smoke ecigarettes breathe in a fine fog of nicotine into the lungs．
Nearly a third of people questioned in the survey think that ecigarettes should be allowed in places
where smok
ing is forbidden,because they don't produce smoke,but 46 percent disagree．Men who
were aware of the availability of ecigarettes were more likely than women to say they should be a choice
available to sm
okers who want to quit．Young people,aged 18－29,and singles were the groups most
open to trying ecigarettes．Smoking is the single largest cause of preventable death worldwide,according
to the WHO．
B．Americans have different opinions about ecigarettes．
C．Every kind of cigarettes should be forbidden in America．
D．Most of the Americans don't like ecigarettes．
B．are popular among people who want to quit smoking
C．will take the place of traditional cigarettes
D．are produced in a safer way by manufacturers
B．They are a good choice as there is no nicotine．
C．They produce a water vapor that can't be seen．
D．Most people buy them on the Inter
net．B．Suppor
tive．C．Doubtful．
D．Indifferent．
