試題分析：文章通過(guò)自己很難戒煙的痛苦經(jīng)歷，告訴讀者戒煙很困難，最好就是從不開(kāi)始吸煙。
小題1:考查句意和上下文，上文講到以前家鄉(xiāng)人人都吸煙，所以戒煙比較困難，現(xiàn)在美國(guó)不是人人吸煙，所以戒煙要容易的多，與B內(nèi)容相符。
小題2:考查句意和上下文：根據(jù)They know it can cause cancer and heart disease可知，他們知道吸煙是有害健康的
小題3:考查句意和上下文：根據(jù)The nicotine makes him sick可知，第一次吸煙讓人感到難受，
小題4:考查句意和上下文：根據(jù)Many people who quit will soon smoke again可知，很多人吸煙后又開(kāi)始吸煙了，所以戒煙很難。
小題5:考查句意和上下文：根據(jù)前幾句可知，一旦開(kāi)始吸煙戒煙就很困難，所以最好的方法就是從不吸煙。
