Why are parents often worried about the growth
of their children?
Nowadays it is natural for parents to worry
about the growth of their children. Take a
critical look at our society and you may find
it owes a lot for the healthy growth of
children. To cite an example, much of today’s
entertainment, whether directly or indirectly,
carries messages that are damaging to our

children’s outlooks on the world. Among them:
1) money answers almost everything; 2)
violence is an effective means of resolving
conflicts. Clearly pop culture has
overwhelmed parents’ influence and led more
and more children to sample the forbidden
fruit and abuse the power of money.
Book 2
New Horizon College English
Unit 5
How to help problem children get out of their
troubles?
The key to lifting the children out of their
troubles, in effect, is to find out what led
them into the troubles. For example, if a child
has been running downhill because of peer
influence, the effective solution to it is to keep
him away from the circle of his old friends
and then to encourage him to associate with
the peers of moral integrity.
Book 2
New Horizon College English

Besides, lines of communication must be
kept open between parents and the troubled
child. An exchange of ideas should be
conducted to a point where both parents and
child resolve to face up to and get rid of the
trouble with one heart.

Weeping for My Smoking Daughter
Para. 1a My daughter smokes. While she
is doing her homework, her feet on the
bench in front of her and her calculator
clicking out answers to her geometry
problems, I am looking at the half-empty
package of Camels tossed carelessly
close at hand. I pick them up, take them
into the kitchen, where the light is better,
and study them—they’re filtered, for
which I am grateful.
Book 2
New Horizon College English
Unit 5
Para. 1b My heart feels terrible. I want to
weep. In fact, I do weep a little, standing
there by the stove holding one of the
instruments, so white, so precisely rolled,
that could cause my daughter’s death.
When she smoked Marlboros and Players
I hardened myself against feeling so bad;
nobody I knew ever smoked
these brands.
Book 2
New Horizon College English
Unit 5
Para. 2a She doesn’t know this, but it
was Camels that my father, her
grandfather, smoked. But before he
smoked cigarettes made by
manufacturers—when he was very
young and very poor, with
glowing eyes—he smoked
Prince Albert tobacco in
cigarettes he rolled himself.
Book 2
New Horizon College English
Unit 5
Para. 2b I remember the
bright-red tobacco tin, with a
picture of Queen Victoria’s
partner, Prince Albert,
dressed in a black dress coat
and carrying a cane.
Book 2
New Horizon College English
Unit 5
Para. 3a By the late forties and early
fifties no one rolled his own anymore
(and few women smoked) in my
hometown of Eatonton, Georgia. The
tobacco industry, coupled with
Hollywood movies in which both male
and female heroes smoked like
chimneys, completely won over people
like my father, who were hopelessly
hooked by cigarettes.
Book 2
New Horizon College English
Unit 5
Para. 3b He never looked as
fashionable as Prince Albert, though;
he continued to look like a poor,
overweight, hard-working colored man
with too large a family, black,
with a very white
cigarette stuck in his
mouth.
Book 2
New Horizon College English
Unit 5
Para. 4 I do not remember when he started to
cough. Perhaps it was unnoticeable at first, a
little coughing in the morning as he lit his first
cigarette upon getting out of bed. By the time I
was sixteen, my daughter’s age, his breath
was a wheeze, embarrassing to hear; he could
not climb stairs without resting every third or
fourth step. 句型 It was not unusual for him to
cough for an hour.
Book 2
New Horizon College English
Unit 5
Para. 5a My father died from “the poor
man’s friend”, pneumonia, one hard
winter when his lung illnesses had left
him low. I doubt he had much lung left at
all, after coughing for so many years. He
had so little breath that, during his last
years, he was always leaning on
something.
Book 2
New Horizon College English
Unit 5
Para. 5b I remember once, at a family reunion,
when my daughter was two, that my father
picked her up for a minute—long enough for
me to photograph them—but the effort was
obvious. 句型 Near the very end of his life, and
largely because he had no more lungs, he quit
smoking. He gained a couple of pounds, but
by then he was so slim that no one noticed.

Para. 6c I read in the newspaper

effective insecticide.

Surely one such victory in my family, for

为女儿抽烟而哭泣
Para. 1a 我女儿抽烟。她做作业时，脚搁在前面的
长凳上，计算器嗒嗒地跳出几何题的答案。我看着

Summary
I read in the newspapers and magazines that
cigarette ends are so poisonous that if swallowed
by a baby, it is likely to die; and that water from a
bunch of boiled ends is an effective insecticide.
I feel a deep hurt, a feeling of uselessness as I
remember how carefully and patiently
I took
care of my daughter when she was little.
I view smoking as self-battering which also
batters those who helplessly watch . I think, to
lose one family member to the prosperous
tobacco companies is enough.
