More than one third of young people between the ages of 10 and 14 who tried smoking a cigarette did so as a direct result of exposure to movie smoking. The study led by James Sargent, a doctor at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Centre in Hanover, New Hampshire, in the United States came out in Pediatrics.They selected a representative US sample of 6, 522 youngsters. Overall, 10 percent of them had tried smoking. The youths were divided into four groups, based on the amount of movie smoking to which they had been exposed.The findings indicated no clear factor of race or geographical location with regard to the results. But it discovered that as the amount of exposure to smoking in movies increased, the rate of smoking also increased. That was “suggesting that exposure to movie smoking is the primary independent risk factor for starting to smoke in US teens in this age group,” the studys authors said, Limiting exposure of young people to movie smoking could have important public health implications (密切关系).This is the first national study to indicate that young people have a higher risk of lighting up as their exposure to movie smoking increases, said the American Legacy Foundation.“Dr Sargent has once again provided scientific evidence about the effect of popular culture on the smoking habits of our youth, and all of us especially parents must play a role in keeping an eye on what our children see on the big screen,” said Cheryl Healdton, foundation president.“We might already consider how language, violence or sexual content in movies affects children, but we must also think about how seeing smoking influences them, since it directly affects their health in such a negative way,” she said in a statement. 61. “Pediatrics” underlined in the first paragraph probably is the name of _.A. a journal B. a textbook C. a programme D. an article62.

I pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom saying that we were leaving for Christmas shopping for him when I came across a message on my phone that I had locked. The message was from my father. My eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in Wyoming, and underneath a poem by William Blake. The flower, a lone dandelion standing against the bright blue sky, inspired me. My dad had been reciting those words to me since I was a kid. That may even be the reason why I love writing.
