smoking, which may be a pleasure for some people, is a serious source of discomfort for their fellows. medical authorities express their 1 about the effect of smoking on the health not only 2 those who smoke but also of those who do not. in fact, nonsmokers who must involuntarily inhale the air polluted by the tobacco smoke may 3 more than the smokers themselves.
as you are doubtless aware, a considerable number of our students have 4 an effort to 5 the university to ban smoking in the classrooms. i believe they are entirely right in their aim. 6 , i would hope that it is possible to achieve this by 7 on the smokers to use good judgment and show concern for others rather than 8 regulation.

use. an average american teenager probably recognizes the meanings of about 100,000 words of english. however, this is but a fraction of the total 9 of information which the teenager has stored. consider, for example, the number of facts and places that the teenager can recognize on sight. the use of words is the basis of the advanced problem-solving intelligence of human beings. a large part of a person's memory is in terms of words and 10 of words.
