Reading comprehension
1. Read the text carefully. The stop-smoking ship
The most difficult thing in the world for someone to do when he is trying to give up smoking is to refuse a cigarette when a friend offers one. While people who smoke are near, the temptation to do the same is too strong. But how can someone who desperately wants to give up smoking get away from all his friends and their cigarettes?
An American doctor thinks he has found the answer at least to part of the question: sit on a ship in the middle of the Atlantic! On the ‘stop-smoking ship’ which left New York on the 21st November for a two-week cruise, there isn’t a tobacco shop in sight; there are no cigarette machines and all the passengers have only one idea – to give up smoking.
The cost alone would frighten some people into never wanting to see a cigarette again. The passengers pay $25 a day each for the pleasure of being shut up with one another’s bad temper. But giving up tobacco for good is not easy for those poor travelers who are not very strong-minded. One man even tried to smuggle a suitcase full of cigarettes onto the ship, hoping to get back some of his $25 a day in black market prices. Fortunately he was caught before he could infect the more weak-minded passengers.
Two weeks might not seem a long time for a holiday cruise but it must seem a lifetime to a smoker with nothing to smoke. However, how many of those brave passengers have now given up smoking permanently, is a big question.
