*Speech for Candidate of Student Union
#竞选学生会干部演讲词
Since I came to the college, I have been holding positions of class and youth league union. I also have done some pragmatic work for the university and our schoolmates. During the communication with our schoolmates, I feel it deep that the cohesion of a unit lies in a developing and advancing collective, while the strength for it comes from sincerity, understanding and contributions. As a leader of student, one should have a firm belief with sacrifice. As a leader of student, one should be willing to make up the gap between man and man, idea and reality with his fierce feelings. As a leader of student, one should not be selfish. What he seeks for is to work hard and give himself up to the service.
I, as one of the thousands of students of Economy College, am proud of it. I would be more willing to take up the duty belonging to me. This is my initial hope. This is why I am standing here today.
I remember one candidate himself said loudly, "Should I leave the position quietly or be bold to stay?" During the last competition for student union. As a result, he was bold to stay for the position. To day, I would like to let everyone know that I hope that I will be kept for the position. Even though I fail, I won't leave quietly and angrily out of spite because I am a member of Economy College, and because my roots are in the Mei Campus.
No mater where I go, Mei Campus always stays with me and my deep feelings to it always keeps in me. I would like to work heart and soul, for my love of Mei Campus. I earnestly hope to contribute my feelings and fervently hope to share the happiness and be concerned about the worries with every one of Mei campus.
进校以来，我一直担任班级团干部的职务，也做了一些实实在在的工作。在和同学们的交往中有一个深刻的感受，那就是：一个集体的腾飞，来源于其内在的凝聚力，而造就这种力量的基石是：真诚、理解与付出。作为学生会干部，就要有燃烧自己的信念，用炽热的情感去填平人与人、理解与现实之间的沟壑，不为谋求些什么，只求能够付出自己的一分热忱与努力......。 (来源：英语麦当劳－英语杂志 http://www.EnglishCN.com)
作为经院八百莘莘学子中的一员，我为自己是经院人而自豪，也更愿承担属于自己的那份责任，这，就是今天我站在这里的初衷。
记得上届学生会竞选的时候，有位候选人曾经响亮地问自己："我是该安静地走开，还是勇敢地留下来？"结果，他勇敢地留下来了。今天，我想告诉大家的是：我真诚地希望自己也能够留下来。即使面对失败的苦涩，也不会负气"安静地走开"，因为，我是经院人，我的根在梅园！
走遍山山水水，梅香依旧，深情依旧。为了曾经拥有过的一份眷恋，我愿洒一把热汗，溅一腔真诚，乐经院人之乐，忧经院人之忧！
*My Attitude towards Marks
#我的分数观
For our students, marks are above everything. Teachers will judge us from our marks. With marks we can be enrolled into junior middle schools. With marks, we can be enrolled into senior middle schools. With marks we can be enrolled into college. With marks we can be enrolled into postgraduate and doctor studies. Still with marks we can be graded and be allowed to go abroad for further studies. Our parents will be strict with us with the marks. Our society judges us from marks. However, sometimes we students compare one another with marks directly. We are completely controlled by marks. We like them and we feel sorry for them. But what attitude towards our marks should we take?
Truly, marks functions cannot be underestimated. In terms of test in our study, marks are fair and real. That is the reason why we say, "Everyone is equal before marks."
However, I didn't think marks are the sole standard to judge the success or failure of studtens in exams. Sometimes, marks more than ten or less than one or two in our exams comparing with others means not everything. The success or failure in exams will be influenced by experience on the spot and the examinee's health etc. Once in a while one cannot fail in exams. "Success or failure is common for military." I think everyone is familiar with the famous saying. Don't you think such will be the case with our study? In exams, one cannot be "never-defeated general". Even though one will be very good in everyday study, he cannot succeed in every exam sometimes. We can get proof from the fact that the very best one we call "Number One Scholar" in the entrance exams for college and ordinary middle school and specialized secondary school over the years is not eminent above all others nor top student in every study.
As a matter of fact, "high marks" and "ability" are not unified. Some time ago, a new phrase "high marks but poor competence" came into being. Once I happened to meet such a teacher as this. It is said that the teacher just graduated from a far-famed key university. But his teaching result is much less than that of the one who just graduated from a not-well-renowned college. When lecturing, the teacher only repeated what the textbook says, which was very dull, so the students' interest in learning was not aroused. His teaching was short of unity of teaching and learning. At present there is a fact that we know a few brilliant and top colleges graduates are not qualified for their posts. The reason for it may be lack of the ability to combine knowledge learnt from books with pragmatics in their work. Students of this kind will be successful in every exam but they won't be able to use freely their knowledge in their posts. Don't you think it waste training such persons for the country?
From the above, I can say marks are not absolutely authoritative for some. If we neglect training and developing the students' ability and competence and if we only seek for the high marks, we will be absolutely wrong. We should take an objective attitude towards the marks. Neither should we neglect them nor should we overvalue them like a God.
分数，对于我们学生来说，是至关重要的了。老师要用分数来衡量我们──上初中要分数；上高中要分数；上大学要分数；考研究生、博士要分数；出国、评职称还是要分数。家长用分数来要求我们，社会用分数来衡量我们，而我们自己也常常用分数在相互直接做着攀比。我们完全为分数所左右了，我们为它欢喜，我们为它丧气。那么，我们应该怎样对待分数呢？
的确，分数有它不可低估的作用。从检验学习的角度上来说，它具有一定的公平性和真实性，"分数面前人人平等"讲的就是这个道理。
然而，分数并不是估量一个学生得失成败的惟一标准。考试成绩偶尔低了一两分乃至十来分，并不一定说明什么问题。考试的成败有时也会受到诸如临场经验、健康状况等方面的影响。"胜败乃兵家常事"这句话大概不会有人不知道，而我们在学习上又何尝不如此？在考虑上很少有"常胜之师"，即使平时成绩再好的同学，也难免会有偶尔的失误。历届中考、高考"状元"并非就是平时出类拔萃的优等生的事实，便是明证。
事实上，"高分"与"能力"往往是不统一的。前段时间，社会上出现了一个新词"高分低能"。笔者就曾经碰见这样一位教师，据说他毕业于某赫赫有名的重点大学，但从教学效果上讲，却远远逊色于一些并非著名高等院校毕业的老师。其授课只是照本宣科而已，枯燥乏味，根本不能引起听课同学的学习兴趣，缺乏一种教与学之间的协调功能。目前不少大专院校的高材生，毕业后不能胜任他们的工作，原因就在于缺少将书本中的知识运用到实际工作中去的能力。这种人，尽管在学校中每每能考出高分，可无法在工作岗位上灵活自如地运用自己所学到的知识。国家培养出这样的"人才"，不也是一种浪费吗？
由此可见，分数并不如有些人想像的那么绝对和权威，忽视了对各方面才能的培养，只一味追求高分，是不行的。因此，我们应该客观地去看待分数，既不应轻视它，也没有必要把它看得过于神圣。
*Never Seeing through Your Colorful Life
#七彩人生莫看穿
Our life is like a polygon rhombus. Some are happy with their success; some are unhappy with their failure. We can not be successful without the experience of failure. Why do you lose heart once you meet with failure? Why do you think you yourself will see through the vanity of life since then? A young and inexperienced fellow will be doubtful about everything he sees in the society, because he feels that what he reads from the books and what he sees in the real world seem to be two extreme different worlds. He will say everything seems hypocritical to him. Form him, "truth, good-and-honest, virtue" and "self-sacrifice for justice" and "self-sacrifice for saving another" seem hypocritical. They are all like castles in the air. For him everyone in the world seems to dress himself in a mask as flowers that will be blooming soon. When he meets with all these in the world, he cannot help himself but to sign, "I would rather live in the leisure world alone in life." But actually, when one sees the world itself, he makes great progress, which means that he is experienced and knowledgeable. However, God enables us to reform the world, "why don't you seek for self-development" by "reform" the world, on the base of your experience and knowledge about the world?
"Seeing through your life," means ending your life. When you think every life is such, you will always complain and lose heart. When you act like this, you will lose your spirit, your belief and idea. On the contrary, all those who seek and struggle with their firm belief will say with smiles "How happy we are!" even though life may be cruel and hard on them.
现实生活是多棱的，有成功的喜悦，也有失败的痛苦。经不起败阵的考验，无以做成功的主人，一时一度的失意，何以从此悲观失望，自以为看破红尘呢？
一个初出茅庐的青年，他会怀疑社会上的一切，因为他感到现实与书本近乎两个极端。一切都是那么虚伪，什么"真、善、美"，什么"舍身取义"、"仗义救人"，都是空中楼阁似的虚无缥缈。人人都戴着面具，好像要把自己装扮成含苞欲放的花朵似的。于是不禁叹道：还是一生一世生活在那个虚幻的世界里好。事实上，认识了世界的真面目本身就是一大进步，这比那些只会称赞"七彩人生"的人有见识多了。然而，上帝赋予我们"改造"世界的权力，为什么不在体验、认识周围世界的基础上，通过"改造"世界，寻求"自身的发展"呢？......
"看穿人生"也等于生命的结束，因为一旦你自以为人生莫不如此，就会怨声载道，垂头丧气，也就丧失了人类的灵魂──信念与理想。相反，那些怀有坚定不移的信念和追求的人，即便人生对他苛刻得近乎残酷，他也会微笑着说："我仍然是一个无比幸福的人"。
*The Thinking Man's Choice
#有头脑的人的选择
Contact is made. Nerves order the heart to pump faster. Adrenalin surges to action. Nerves constrict the blood vessels in the extremities of the body. Skin temperature drops. Fingers and toes grow colder. Blood pressure jump. An alcoholic or a dope addict in the first stages of a "cure"? A man being catapulted into outer space? No! These effects stem from smoking just one cigarette.
The United States Public Health Service is issuing continual warnings to smokers. If they abstain completely from smoking, their chances of acquiring lung cancer will be one in 275. Their chances of dying of lung cancer will be one in 10 if they become heavy smokers─two or more packs a day. Lung cancer is fatal in 95 per cent of all cases.
But in spite of glaring evidence and frequent warnings, the public is smoking more and more. The Department of Agriculture estimates that this year's consumption of cigarettes will reach 180 packs per person fifteen years of age and over. How many cigarettes does this mean per person?─3600.
Why is smoking such an important problem? Because smoking is not a mere habit, as so many think it is. No, it is more serious than that. A habit can be broken easily enough, but an addiction cannot. Smokers lapse into helplessness! Daniel Schubert, of the University of Chicago, quizzed 226 students at a large Northwestern college about their smoking habits─why they started, what satisfaction they got, and if they wanted to stop. According to Schubert, they wanted to quit smoking; but they couldn't.
If one is addicted to cigarettes, he is dependent upon them physically, as well as psychologically. What is it, if it is not addiction, that motivates a man to go out in sub-zero weather to buy a pack of cigarettes? If necessary, he will drive ten miles late at night to find an open drugstore. What is it, if it is not addiction, that makes a moocher of an otherwise charming young girl?
I was talking to a professor not long ago who had just quit smoking. He told me what most of you already know─that once the habit is started, watch out! It is next to impossible to stop smoking. I asked him how he ever managed to quit when he had been smoking over a pack a day for ten years. Listen to his story.
"Well, I cut down to one-half pack a day for the first week.
I was touchy most of the time. The slightest irritation made my nerves jangle and my head want to explode. The next week I smoked five cigarettes a day and had an even worse case of nerves. Then the following week I chewed gum and sucked on mints, candy, and pipe stems. Frankly, I wasn't sure from one moment to the next if I could keep going. Somehow I made it."
Many of you know what this professor is talking about; you, too, have tried to break the addiction, but have failed. In the few minutes we have here today we can analyze the motives at the root of our smoking problem.
Perhaps we can assure those who do not smoke, (and I am happy I can still include myself in this group), to nip in the bud the urges of those who are about to begin smoking, and to encourage to cut-down those who are already confirmed smokers.
Let's begin with group pressures. We race to maturity, to grow up all at once. We want poise, selfconfidence, and lots of friends; we want to be accepted.
This need for acceptance reminds me of an incident that occurred in a campus sorority house during the "rushing period" last fall. A sorority member offered a rushee a cigarette. Eager to please and not to seem different, the girl blurted out a confident, "Oh, yes, I'd love one!" The active struck a match, was calmly extending it toward the rushee when the flustered freshman met the active half-way with cigarette in hand. The active was thunderstruck. You can imagine her mixed emotions while striving to stifle her amusement and at the same time to understand that the poor rushee had never smoked before. In the excitement of the moment she was only concerned with being accepted.
Then there is the girl who is seated in a group, not knowing what to do with her hands. First, she rolls and unrolls the curl behind her left ear; then she rummages in her purse for some article to wave as a prop. An inspiration flashes, and she remembers the package of Kents in her coat pocket. Why didn't she think of them before? She always did think women who smoked looked mature. What a convenient prop to have brought along. Convenient? Yes, sophisticated? No. Years ago, a woman was thought sophisticated if she knew how to smoke. Men were impressed. But today the picture is changing, as everyone knows how to smoke─age eleven or up. Perhaps now the novelty should be the nonsmoker?
Now I ask you. Is a woman charming if she can sit with her hands folded gracefully in her lap, or is she more charming while fidgeting with one cigarette after another? And you men specifically─which do you prefer─the lady who needs no props to have poise, or the lady who thinks a cigarette makes her more alluring to you? Take a good look at a woman sometime when she is inhaling. She drags hard, makes a puckering noise with her lips, tosses her head back drawing a deep breath─then bellows the smoke out like the gust from a rocket launching. She may even go so far as to blow smoke rings for you. Is she dainty? Is she feminine?
The power of suggestion is another strong motivating factor in our lives. Haven't you watched someone yawn and suddenly felt your own mouth gape open. You let the power of suggestion get the best of you; and before you realized it, you, too, were yawning. Now, couldn't this same power induce you to smoke? Why not, especially through the medium of advertising.
I am reminded of a "Mostly Malarky" cartoon that I recently clipped out of the Chicago Tribune. Malarky strolled into a drugstore. Standing before the counter, he scratched his head in silence. Finally, he muttered to the clerk, "I want the thinking man's cigarette, but I can't seem to think of the name." Poor Malarky. He only wanted a package of Viceroy as the "thinking man's cigarette." After all, if he is a thinking man, as he thinks he is, he should, by all means, smoke his own brand.
Advertisers are further toying with men's egos by appealing to their hidden desires to be energetic, vigorous, and potent. Marlboro, with its hairy-chested male smoker, has set the pace. The cigarette is made to project the image of a rugged, rough-and-ready guy. Doesn't this explain why many cigarette ads display great flexing of masculine muscles?
The woman, too, is a victim of advertising. Vogue cigarettes catch her eye. Why? Because they come in pastels. How perfectly exciting for the female world! Just think! She can now buy cigarettes to match her wardrobe; and what's more, she can purchase matching cigarette cases and lighters in any color of the rainbow, with jewels or without.
Yes, we are frequently victims of suggestive devices. Dr. Ernest Dichtter, head of the Institute for Motivational Research, has conducted a series of studies for ad agencies on the subject of smoking. He states, "People smoke, not because of the taste of cigarettes, but because smoking provides them with certain psychological satisfactions they can get in no other way." He adds that cigarettes are involved in a man's struggle for survival, stability, and security. I am afraid I cannot agree with Dr. Dichter, for I believe that a man can survive and can find security without cigarettes. He needs food, he needs shelter, he needs love and companionship; but can't he satisfy these needs in ways other than smoking?
Rationalization makes a strong impact on our lives. Are we cultivating rationalizations as an excuse to smoke? I am afraid we are. No doubt 50 per cent of us here have used as an excuse to continue smoking, this very common remark, "If I ever stopped smoking, I would gain ten pounds." Perhaps! A cigarette at 4p.m. does not contain the calories that a milkshake does. But the healthy way to lose excess pounds is to eat the right kind and the right amount of food.
We again rationalize when we buy filter tip cigarettes. We assure ourselves that the filter reduces any danger, but according to the July, 1957 edition of Reader's Digest, "The tar and nicotine reduction possible through a filter ranges from 7 to 17 per cent. These percentages are too small to be really protective." With a perfect filter no smoke could seep through─just hot air. So many people believe that filters are the solution that filter tips will account for about half of this year's output. Can't we admit that we are being duped to form a habit that is detrimental to mankind─a habit that leads to addiction?
So you begin to wonder if maybe you should quit smoking─that, after all, you are an individual. What would happen to you tomorrow if some conclusive proof should suddenly come forth─proof that cigarettes are a one-way ticket to death? What would you do? Who do not smoke, you've seen why others start the habit and the risks they are taking. Be on your guard. You, who have the urge to start smoking─you are perched on a fence and can jump to either side. Which will you choose? And you, who are already confirmed smokers, are now confronted with the hardest question of all. If you wanted to stop smoking, "Could you? Could you break the addiction?"
Jean Nicot, the Frenchman who gave his name to nicotine, believed that he had discovered a miracle drug. Today we try to filter out nicotine because of its harmful nature. The modern Jean Nicots believe that smoking makes the woman more attractive, more desirable─the man more masculine, more independent.
We say we are thinking men! Well, are we thinking? Cigarette, anyone?
到位了。神经命令心脏跳动加快。肾上腺激素开始涌动。神经促使人手脚处的血管开始收缩。皮肤的温度下降了，手指、脚趾渐渐变凉，血压升高了。这些症状是不是发生在一个酒鬼或一个吸毒成瘾者接受"治疗"的第一阶段？抑或是一个人正被弹射到外层太空？不！它们仅来自于吸了一支烟。
美国公共健康服务中心正不断地给烟民们发出警告。他们被告知：如果他们彻底戒烟的话，他们得肺癌的可能将是1/275。如果他们成了一天吸两包烟以上的瘾君子的话，那他们死于肺癌的比例将是1/10。同时必须指出，100个肺癌患者中有95人将最终死亡。
然而，尽管这些吸烟有害健康的证据毋容置疑，并不断向人们发出警告，但吸烟人数还在不断增多。农业部估计，今年的香烟消费量将达到人均180包（15岁以上者）。这将意味着每人吸多少支？3600支。
为什么吸烟是一个如此严峻的问题？因为它不是许多人所认为的只是一个习惯问题。不，它远比习惯来得厉害。一个习惯能轻易地改变，而吸烟一旦上了瘾，就难以自拔了。芝加哥大学的丹尼尔·舒尔伯格曾经对西北一所较大的大学的226名学生就吸烟习惯问题做过一次调查──是什么原因使他们开始吸烟的？他们从吸烟中获得了什么快感？他们是否有戒烟的打算？从舒尔伯格的调查结果来看，那些学生想戒烟，但是办不到。
如果一个人吸烟上了瘾，他即在生理上对香烟产生了依赖感。如果这不是一种瘾的话，那它是什么？是什么力量能促使一个人在零度以下的恶劣天气里出门去买烟？如果必要的话，他甚至会在深夜开十英里车去寻找一个仍在营业的杂货店。如果那不是一种瘾的话，它又会是什么？它怎么会使原先一个迷人的女孩变成一个无所事事、游手好闲的人？
不久前，我和一个刚刚戒烟的教授进行了一次谈话。他告诉我你们大多数人已知道的：一旦抽上香烟，当心！因为要戒烟几乎不大可能。于是，我问他，他是如何养成了一天吸一包烟以上的习惯并持续了十年之后，能成功地戒掉了烟瘾。让我们来听听他的故事吧！
"唔，我在一开始的第一个星期里减少了吸烟的数量，每天只抽半包。在那段时间里，我很容易发脾气。稍有点不如意，就会使我极度烦躁，脑袋也像要裂开似的。第二个星期开始，我每天抽五支烟，那时，我的精神状态更糟了。在接着的第三个星期里，我试着嚼口香糖和薄荷糖，当然还有烟斗杆。坦白地说，能不能坚持下去，我也不能肯定。可不知怎么的，我还是做到了。"
听了他的故事，你们中的许多人知道他在说什么了。因为你们也曾经尝试过戒烟，只是你失败了。现在，让我们花几分钟来分析一下吸烟的根本动机。
这样说，也许我们能够让那些不吸烟的人（我很高兴我自己属于这一类），在要吸烟时就打消这个念头，并鼓励那些已经上瘾的烟民减少吸烟数量。
让我们从外界压力影响这个角度开始分析。我们希望成熟，希望一下子能长大。我们需要平衡、自信和朋友，我们更期盼被人接受。
这种希望接受的愿望使我想到了一件事。那是去年秋天，在一所大学的女生联谊晚会里发生的事。那时，正在举行一个争取新会员的活动。一个联谊会成员给一位新生一支烟。这个新进大学的女孩急切地想取悦他人，不愿做得与众不同，于是，她自信地脱口而出："噢，好的，我很想来一支！"于是，那个递烟的人划了根火柴，平静地伸出手去给她点烟。与此同时，这个新生慌慌张张地拿着烟迎了上去。看着她的样子，递烟的人震惊了。你可想像那复杂的表情。一方面，她努力抑制着自己，不让自己笑出声来；另一方面，她又深深地理解这个可怜的新生──她以前从未吸过烟。而这个新来的女孩在这个激动的时刻，什么也不顾，只在意她是否被接受了。
让我们再来看一个例子。在一堆人中，坐着一个女孩，她不知道自己的手该怎么放。一开始，她用手反复地拨弄着左耳后的卷发，接着翻弄着钱袋，想找东西握在手里，这样可显得自然些。突然一个念头从她脑子里冒出来，她记起在外衣口袋里还有一包健牌烟。为什么她不早些想到它们呢？她一直认为吸烟的女人看上去更成熟一些。拿着香烟打发双手该有多方便啊！方便？是的。老练？不！在许多年前，一个女人要是知道如何吸烟，人们会认为她很老练，男人们也会被她吸引住的。但是现在，这种观念早就不存在了，因为，现在每个人都知道如何吸烟，甚至八岁的孩子也不例外。现在，不吸烟可能反而是件新鲜事了。
现在让我来问你，如果一个女人坐着，双手交叉着优雅地放在膝上，而另一个女人，双手一支接着一支地抽着烟，哪一个更有魅力？有一个女人不需要任何物体来平衡她的手脚，另一个女人却认为烟能使她对男人更具诱惑力。作为一个男人，具体地说──你喜欢哪一个？好好看看一个女人吸烟的样子，你会看到，她狠命地吸烟，撅起双唇发出一阵"嘶嘶"声，接着往后一仰，把烟深深地吸了进去然后就像火箭发射时喷出的尾气一样，大口地喷出烟雾。她甚至还会向你吐烟圈。这么一个女人，你能说她俊俏，你能说她有女人味？
在我们的生活中，暗示的力量是促使我们行动的另一个关键因素。你有没有这样的经历，当你看到别人打呵欠时，你也会不由自主地打起呵欠来？原来，这已影响了你，在你还没意识到你将干什么之前，你已经这么干了。那么，这种同样的暗示力量会不会也促使你去吸烟呢？怎么不会呢？尤其是广告媒体的影响。
我回想起最近我从《芝加哥论坛》上剪下来的一个名叫"莫斯特立·马拉基"的卡通画，内容讲的是马拉基逛进了一个杂货店，他站在柜台前一言不发，却使劲地抓脑袋，最后，他向售货员嘀咕道："我想买有头脑的人吸的烟，可是我好像想不起它的名字来了。"可怜的马拉基，他想要的仅仅是一包总督牌香烟，广告商却把它描绘成有头脑的人抽的香烟。毕竟，每个人都认为自己是一个有头脑的人，人都是这样认为自己的，他无论如何应该吸自己牌子的烟。
广告商们不断地玩弄男人的自我，即激发他们那种想要精力充沛，充满活力、健康力的内心愿望。万宝路，起了带头作用。它的烟盒上是一个长满胸毛的男子汉。于是，万宝路就有了一个粗犷的、豪放不羁的男人形象。这难道不正解释了为什么众多的香烟广告里，展示的往往都是男性肌肉的强有力的收缩吗？
女性，同样也是广告的受害者。时髦的香烟往往吸引了她们。为什么呢？因为那些烟往往以彩色粉笔状出现。女人的世界是多么令人激动啊！试想一下，她们能够买到与衣服相配的烟了。此外，她们还能够买到与烟匹配的五彩缤纷的或镶嵌着夺目的珠宝的烟盒及打火机。
的确，我们常常是带有诱导性物件的受害者。动机研究院的负责人欧内斯特·狄彻特博士，曾为广告公司在吸烟方面进行过一系列的研究。他指出："人们吸烟并不为了烟的味道，而是因为通过吸烟，他们能够获得一种通过其他方式难以得到的心理上的满足。"他补充道，香烟同一个人为了生存、稳定、安全而奋斗有很大的关系。我恐怕不能同意他的观点。我认为，一个人没有烟也能够找到安全感。一个人需要的是食物、住房、爱与友情。难道他不能通过吸烟以外的方式来满足他的这些需要吗？
自我辩解对我们的生活有很大的影响。我们是不是在把自我辩解用作吸烟的借口？恐怕是这样的。毫无疑问，我们中有一半的人把这类话作为一个借口来继续吸烟，"我一旦戒烟，我体重将增加10磅。"可能会这样！在下午4点吸的一支烟里不含有一杯牛奶所含有的热量。但是，健康的减肥方法不是通过吸烟，而是吃合适的和适量的食物。
当我们购买带过滤嘴的香烟时，我们又自己辩解、找理由，我们使自己相信这个过滤嘴能过滤掉任何有害物质。但根据1957年7月版的《读者文摘》上的一篇报道："通过一个过滤嘴，焦油和尼古丁含量可能会减少7％～17％。可这百分比太小，远远起不到真正的保护作用。"如搞出一个完美的过滤嘴，那就没有烟而只有热空气能够通过了。如此多的人相信这种过滤嘴是一个解决吸烟有害的好方法，以致于它的产量大约占今年卷烟总产量的50％。难道我们不承认我们正在受骗，慢慢养成一种对人类有害的习惯──一种会让人沉溺于其中，难以自拔的习惯？
因此，你开始怀疑你是否有可能戒烟──毕竟，人是一个独立的人。如果明天一些结论性的论据一下子成真，完全证明了香烟是通向死亡的单程票，那么，对你有什么影响？你会怎么做？你，不吸烟的人，亲眼目睹了为什么另一些人染上了吸烟的习惯，他们正冒着怎样巨大的风险。所以，当心！你，有想吸烟欲望的人，正坐在栏杆上，你随时可跳向任何一边。你会选择哪一边呢？嗨，你，一个已经吸烟成瘾的人，现在正面临着严峻的问题。如果你想戒烟的话，"你能吗？你能克制你的烟瘾吗？"
让·尼古丁，这个给尼古丁命名的法国人，相信他发现了一种神奇的药物。今天，我们试图把尼古丁过滤掉，因为它是有害的。而现代的让·尼古丁们却相信吸烟能使女人更有魅力，更令人向往，男人更男性化，更独立。
我们自认为是有头脑的人。那么，我们真的有头脑了吗？香烟，谁想来一支？ |
