這是一段A和B之間的對話，內(nèi)容是關(guān)于吸煙對健康的危害。

根據(jù)下文When I got my first job, I was very young可知，B已經(jīng)抽了很多年的煙。根據(jù)句意及句子結(jié)構(gòu)，空格處應(yīng)填入意為“多年的”名詞所有格，故答案為years’。

【2】

句意：你無法想象我是多么無助，然后我開始抽煙，因為我覺得工作壓力很大。

根據(jù)上文When I got my first job, I was very young. I couldn’t finish the tasks in time and even made many mistakes可知，B剛開始工作時經(jīng)常無法按時完成工作，并且經(jīng)常犯錯，于是他感到壓力很大，然后開始抽起了煙。空格處應(yīng)填入意為“然后”的副詞，故答案為then。

【5】

句意：它不能降低壓力，但只會對自己和周圍人的健康造成傷害。

結(jié)合前后文It cannot lower the pressure和only to do harm both to own health and to that of people around you可知，從句意上兩者為轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，故應(yīng)填入表轉(zhuǎn)折的連詞，故答案為but。

【6】

句意：煙霧中微小而危險的東西很容易進入人體，導(dǎo)致生病的幾率增加。

根據(jù)句中things from the smoke提示，煙霧中的一些物質(zhì)通常是很微小的�？崭裉帒�(yīng)填入意為“微小的”形容詞，故答案為tiny。

【8】

句意：人們總是說孩子喜歡模仿父母。

根據(jù)下文Yes, children like to follow the examples of their parents in many ways可知，此處B說的是人們總是說孩子喜歡模仿父母。空格處應(yīng)填入意為“模仿”的動詞copy，且位于like to do結(jié)構(gòu)中，故答案為copy。

【9】

句意：此外，吸煙也是引起火災(zāi)的主要原因之一。

根據(jù)上文It cannot lower the pressure but only to do harm both to own health and to that of people around you可知，說到了吸煙的一個缺點，即對健康的危害，此處A說的是此外，吸煙也是引起火災(zāi)的主要原因之一。空格處應(yīng)填入意為“除……之外”的副詞besides和also，且位于句首首字母應(yīng)大寫，故答案為Besides/ Also。
