Lesson 81

A Heavy Price to Pay

Tom's father died of lung cancer. He

couldn't stop smoking. He tried quitting

several times. However, whenever he saw

use stopping one day and starting again the

next. He enjoyed smoking too much. He

certainly paid a heavy price, though.

Lesson 87

Society Is Changing Rapidly

Society is changing rapidly. As a result,

more and more people are suffering from

stress. Those who are stressed out are often

nervous, angry or ill. People must, therefore,

learn to deal with this "new" kind of problem.

Regular exercise is one way. The best way,

however, is to keep a good sense of humor.

社会正快速地变化

社会正快速地变化。因此，越来越乡的人正遭受压力之苦。
