We meet smokers everywhere： in the streets， on college campuses and in shops.There are 5.8 billion people in the world， and the smokers are about 1.1billion， which makes up 20 percent of the world's total population.
Smoking is very harmful. I think there are two main aspects to the damage.First， smoking consumes a great deal of money. As is shown in the pictorialgraph， smoking wastes 200 billion dollars each year in the world. Second，smoking does harm to the health of smokers， and it is the main cause of lungcancer. About 3 million people die because of the relevant diseases derived fromsmoking every year.
Because more and more people are aware of the great harm of smoking to humans，the amount of tobacco consumption is on the decrease. From the following figures we can clearly see the tendency. The total amount of world tobacco productionadded up to 14.364 billion pounds in 1994， but it dropped to 14.2 billion poundsin 1995. At the same time， many countries call on people to give up smoking. Soit is certain that the number of smokers is to decrease.
參考譯文
我們在街上、大學校園裏和商場裏到處都可以見到吸煙者。世界上有58億人口，而煙民大約有11億，占世界總人口的20%。
吸煙非常有害。我認為其危害主要有兩個方麵。首先，吸煙浪費很多錢。表所示，世界上每年因吸煙浪費2000億美元。其次，吸煙對煙民的健康有害，它是導致肺癌的主要原因。每年有300萬人死於與吸煙相關的疾病。
由於越來越多的人意識到吸煙對人類的巨大危害，煙草消費量開始呈下降趨勢。從下麵的數字中，我們可以清楚地看出這個趨勢。1994年世界煙草總產量為143.64億磅，但在1995年下降到了142億磅。同時，很多國家呼籲人們戒煙。因此煙民的數量必將下降。

The past several years have witnessed a phenomenon that a variety of promiseshave been arising from all walks of life. Regrettably， quite a lot of promisesare sheer nonsense， just as the hen in the given cartoon commits herself to layeggs which are round without any angles and corners and have shells， egg whitesand yolks.
Odds and funny as they sound， such false promises can be seen and heardeverywhere in our country. Administration departments assure to perform theirtasks effectively and fairly without taking any bribes; manufacturing unitsguarantee to turn out products of good quality; commercial enterprises swear toprovide genuine commodities and polite and enthusiastic services. Can you findanything new and substantial other than their obligations， duties and jobs inthese so called promises? I guess your answer will be negative. As a matter offact， their intention to make such commitments is nothing but to put oncivilized outer clothing to please or deceive the public.
I dare say that your society is suffering corruption and cheat which are causingdamage to society both materially and morally. But the hen and her like shouldknow that by dishonest words no one can survive the intense competition undermarket economy system. They should remember the old saying， "Honesty is the bestpolicy."
