以下是有关吸烟问题的观点：

E. However, smokers may feel a certain amount of pressure. On the one hand, they might feel guilty about the amount of money they spend on cigarettes each month, which could have been put to much better use, but on the other hand, they may also feel non-smokers should be more tolerant of them.

F.    Smoking can provide constant consolation. When people feel worried or nervous, they just get a cigarette and everything seems to get right After a day's hard work, what they want to do most is smoking. It can be even better than drinking a cup of coffee.

以下是个人对吸烟的认识，请匹配个人的认识与相应的观点。

56．Christopher: As a matter of fact, smokers are under a great deal of pressure, not only because they spend so much money on cigarettes but also because they don' t think people around them are tolerant enough of them.

57．Amanda: If you smoke and you still don't believe that there's a definite link between smoking and bronchial(支气管的) troubles, heart disease and lung cancer, you are certainly deceiving your­self.

58．Harrison: Smoking brings some psychological benefits. Most smokers feel it's enjoyable and that it can relieve daily stress. So why must we ban it and take away a lot of people' s pleasure?

59．Brandon: Forbidden fruits always taste sweetest. That is to say, the stricter the laws against smoking are, the more people want to smoke. What worries me is that more young people are beginning to smoke.

60．Douglas: If there were some ways to stop a smoker from affecting others, I wouldn't object to smoking! Secondhand smoke does great harm to non-smokers, especially to children, who are much more sensitive than adults.

I don’t ever want to talk about being a woman scientist again. There was a time in my life when people asked constantly for stories about what it’s like to work in a field dominated (控制) by men. I was never very good at telling those stories because truthfully I never found them interesting. What I do find interesting is the origin of the universe, the shape of space-time and the nature of black holes.
At 19, when I began studying astrophysics, it did not bother me in the least to be the only woman in the classroom. But while earning my PhD at MIT and then as a post-doctor doing space research, the issue started to bother me. My every achievement --- jobs, research papers, awards --- was viewed through the lens of gender (性别) politics. So were my failures.
Then one day a few years ago, out of my mouth came a sentence that would eventually become my reply to any and all annoyance. I don’t talk about that any more. It took me 10 years to get back the confidence I had at 19 and to realize that I didn’t want to deal with gender issues. After all, I don’t study sociology or political theory.
Today I research and teach at Bamard, a women’s college in New York City. Recently, someone asked me how many of the 45 students in my class were women. You cannot imagine my satisfaction at being able to answer 45. I know some of my students worry how they will manage their scientific research and a desire for children. And I don’t dismiss those concerns. Instead, I have given them this: the visual of their physics professor heavily pregnant doing physics experiments. And in turn they have given me the image of 45 women driven by a love of science. And that’s a sight worth talking about.

Can you remember a morning when you’ve woken up to the ring of your alarm clock and wished you could stay in bed? You haven’t slept well, your hair is a mess. Worse, you can’t stop yawning. Yawning is universal to humans and many animals. Cats, dogs and fish yawn just like humans do! Yawning is an involuntary(无意识的,不自觉的) action during which you open your mouth and breathe deeply. The average duration of a yawn is about 6 seconds.
The purpose and cause of yawning are still a mystery. Scientists are not sure what causes a yawn. People yawn when they are tired or bored, but they also yawn when they aren’t. There are many ideas explaining why we yawn.
One idea is that yawning is a way for the body to become more alert by taking in more oxygen. A yawn increases the heart rate, forces carbon dioxide out of the lungs and blood stream, and brings oxygen to the brain. But one study showed that volunteers given a lot of oxygen did not yawn any less than before, while those given a lot of carbon dioxide did not yawn more.
Another idea is that early humans used yawning as a form of communication. If one decided it was time to sleep, they would tell the others by yawning and they would do it in return to show they agreed.
A third explanation comes from psychology professor Gordon Gallup of University at Albany in New York. He said that as people yawn, they cool off their brains. “Brains are like computers.” he said. “They only operate efficiently and effectively when they’re cool. Many things connected to yawning, like being tired, make the brain hot, and yawning can reduce the heat.”
Scientists have sent people into space, and created terrible nuclear weapons, but there are lots of seemingly simple things, such as why we yawn, or hiccup（打嗝）, that they can’t figure out. Next time you are in class in the morning, let out a big yawn and watch to see how many of your classmates yawn in response!
