1) Teenage smoking is on the rise. According to the chart, in the last twenty years the rate of teenage smoking has almost tripled: It rose from 7 percent in 1980 to 20 percent in 2000.  At the same time, the age of the smokers has dropped: they began to smoke at an earlier age--some as young as 9 years old.(这个引言段是通过对图1表数据的描写把青少年吸烟这个问题提了出来)

2) The factors for a great rise in the teenage smoking are complex.

(这一句是文章的中心思想句,说明要解释的原因相当复杂，暗示既有客观原因,也有主观原因) Some attribute it to the increased standard of living which enables kids to have more pocket money for cigarettes. Others place the blame on the neglectful parents who either fail to set a good example or don't discipline children enough. Whatever the causes, only particular external circumstances have been examined. (通过some attribute, others 引出客观方面的原因:生活水平的提高，家长教育不严等。最后一句不仅总结了本段而且引出了下段)

3) The factors, actually, 'are psychological as well as social. (这句是过渡句:不仅有社会方面的原因,还有青少年自身心理上的原因。因此它在客观和主观原因之间起到了承上启下的作用)

It should be recognized that there is a strong desire to be like adults among the modern teenagers. Apart from dress and manner, one thing which a teenager perceives as "very adult" is smoking cigarettes. To him, the cigarette is a symbol of the mysterious adult world. To experience the grown-up pleasure, he comes to "MarlboroCountry". (主观原因1:模仿成人的心理)

4) There is also a subconscious fecling on the part of teenagers that smoking will give them a more positive view of themselves, making them feel mature and tough and sophisticated. When they light up a cigarette, they are under the illusion that they are admired and attracted by their peers. The discovery of the value of smoking as a sign of maturity and toughness contributes to the rise in teenage smoking.(主观原因2:要求成熟和强悍的心理)

5) Adolescence is a crucial age for a man to be a nonsmoker. It is important that a sustained anti-smoking campaign should be conducted both on campus and in the community to make young people aware of the dreadful consequences of taking up the habit. (结尾段提出解决这个问题的一些建议)
