Read the texts from a magazine article in which five persons talked about their attitude to helping the people in developing countries. For question 61 to 65, match the name of each person (61 to 65) to one of the statements given below, which is the summary of his or her speech. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.
Maurice Porter: I propose to ban tobacco. It would be done in three stages. First tobacco taxes should be sharply increased and tobacco goods would be banned. Then smoking in public places would be forbidden, and all the tobacco companies would be nationalized by the Government. Finally, all the factories would be closed and the sales of tobacco would be a crime. Banning of tobacco becomes an urgent task as the smokers are becoming younger and younger. I recently found that there were quite a few young girls smoking in the street, waiting for their buses or just getting around. We should be responsible for our people’s health problem. We should be responsible for our younger generation.
Peter Stone: Let’s look at this from an economic point of view. Mr. Potter’s plan to nationalize the tobacco companies would cost the Government a lot of money. If the factories were closed, all the money would be wasted. The Government would lose all their tobacco taxes, and what is more, thousands and thousands of people would lose their jobs. It would be very hard to relocate this workforce very quickly. It might turn out to become a big issue of unemployment in this city. That’s too high a price to pay for this.
Mary Jones: Smoking is a very bad habit. It should be brained. Thousands of people die of lung cancer while the big tobacco companies are spending a fortune on advertising. Money should be spent on improving the quality of people’s lives instead of mining them. And smokers are very selfish people. There’s a "no smoking" sign in our library but a lot of people ignore it. How can normal people enjoy reading in our reading room when their eyes are full of smoke? Besides, it does not do any good to their health either. They become the so-called second-hand smokers in this way and are forced to smoke while staying in such a room.
Joanna Wilson: I smoke about fifteen cigarettes a day. I’m not ashamed of it. In my job there is a lot of nervous tension. I face fierce competition every day. Smoking helps me relax and it also helps me concentrate on my work. People talk about cancer. Doctors say there is a direct link between smoking and cancer. They also say overeating causes heart disease and overwork causes stomach problems. Will the Government ban eating and working? Of course not! Life is full of risks. I might die in a car accident tomorrow. People must be free to make their own decisions and should enjoy the present instead of worrying about the future.
Richard Carr: I gave up smoking last year, lint it wasn’t easy. It seems I cannot refuse a cigarette without making some excuse. I have tried every possible way to stick to nurturing the new habit of not smoking. I used many substitutes at first, such as chewing gums or candies, doing more physical exercises, even taking some special medicine. It is one year now. I am now getting used to it and I am happy that I am finally rid of the bad habit of smoking. My wife gives me a lot of encouragement and my doctor gives me very useful advice. I hope I will be happier and healthier than ever before.
Now match each of the persons (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements.
Statements
[A] It doesn’t pay for banning of tobacco product.
[B] I should have my freedom to decide what I should do.
[C] Tobacco should be banned gradually, yet it is an urgent task to start right now.
[D] Doctors say there is a direct link between smoking and cancer.
[E] Money should not be wasted by the tobacco companies in their advertisement for their harmful products to ruin people’s lives.
[F] It is not easy to give up smoking.
[G] Smoking is bad for both smokers and nonsmokers.
