Answer 1

分析 本文提及很多人抽烟，以及学会抽烟的一些原因，并告诉抽烟所带来的一些危害．

解答 76．Teens should either stop or not/never start smoking．概括题．通过全文的叙述可知，抽烟对青少年的危害，所以建议青少年要么戒烟要么一开始就不要吸烟．
77．The fact that cigarette smoking is dangerous to your health is hardly new information．提供的这句话意思是众所周知，抽烟可能造成疾病．言下之意，抽烟有对健康是危害的．
78．for smokers to stop/（for people） to stop smoking  细节题．第二段将抽烟可以给人带来快乐，也可以起到抑制作用，所以对于抽烟人来说很难戒烟．
79．Smokers also get wrinkles at an earlier age and their clothes and hair get smelly．细节题，在第五段提到抽烟的另外一方面还出，Smokers also get wrinkles at an earlier age即在很早的时候就开始出现皱纹．
80．因为这个阶段会导致青少年上瘾，从而成为正式烟民，所以这是最危险的时期．
或者：这是最危险的时期，因为它是上瘾的前奏，青少年一旦上瘾，吸烟就成了习惯．翻译时要注意三个要点：the most dangerous stage最危险时期； lead to an addictive stage导致上瘾阶段； become regular smokers成为正式烟民．
