1 Dear Editor:
I’m sick and tired of the traffic in this city! It is so bad
that I can never get anywhere on time. There are too many
4 cars on the road, and most of them have only one person in
them. Another problem is the buses. They are so old and slow
that nobody wants to take them. They are noisy and very dirty.
7 You can’t even see out the windows! Also, the taxi drivers are
rude. They never know where they are going, and they take a
long time to get someplace. Taxis are expensive, too. And the
10 subway is just too crowded and dangerous. What are we going
to do?

Learning to quit
Jodi Hall started smoking at age 9.
By the time she was 16, she was up to a pack a day – and she wanted to quit. A couple of reasons: one, her health; two, a guy named Mony. “He said that when he kissed me, it was like kissing an ashtray”, Jodi says.
Earlier this year, Jodi, along with 25 of her classmates at Johnson High School, in Savannah, GA, enrolled in the school’s first stop-smoking class. During the eight-week Tobacco Free Teen class, they learned what smoking can do to their body, their wallet and their grades (some kids end up cutting class to satisfy their nicotine cravings). But it wasn’t just about scare tactics. The goal is behavior modification, not punishment, so students are taught techniques for handling stress and resisting the urge to light up even when friends or parents do.
According to the American Lung Association (ALA), which sponsors the class, about half the adults who smoke were regular smokers by age 18. “Theses numbers are only going to get worse,” says Kristine Lewis of the ALA. “The tobacco industry is turning to teens.”
How did the students do? Jodi has been cigaretteless for three months. But she’s the only one. Her classmate Adam Cushman is slowly putting his way back to three packs a day. The 16-year-old says he wants to stop, “but the way things are going, I doubt I’ll be able to.”
Seventeen, June 1996.
The word goal in “The goal is behavior modification” can be replaced by:
