Question

阅读理解

　　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．
