Answer 1

分析 本文提及很多人抽煙，以及學會抽煙的一些原因，并告訴抽煙所帶來的一些危害．

解答 76．Teens should either stop or not/never start smoking．概括題．通過全文的敘述可知，抽煙對青少年的危害，所以建議青少年要么戒煙要么一開始就不要吸煙．
77．The fact that cigarette smoking is dangerous to your health is hardly new information．提供的這句話意思是眾所周知，抽煙可能造成疾病．言下之意，抽煙有對健康是危害的．
78．for smokers to stop/（for people） to stop smoking  細節(jié)題．第二段將抽煙可以給人帶來快樂，也可以起到抑制作用，所以對于抽煙人來說很難戒煙．
79．Smokers also get wrinkles at an earlier age and their clothes and hair get smelly．細節(jié)題，在第五段提到抽煙的另外一方面還出，Smokers also get wrinkles at an earlier age即在很早的時候就開始出現(xiàn)皺紋．
80．因為這個階段會導致青少年上癮，從而成為正式煙民，所以這是最危險的時期．
或者：這是最危險的時期，因為它是上癮的前奏，青少年一旦上癮，吸煙就成了習慣．翻譯時要注意三個要點：the most dangerous stage最危險時期； lead to an addictive stage導致上癮階段； become regular smokers成為正式煙民．
