D Cigarette pack warning that remind smokers of the fatal consequences of their habit may actually make them smoke more for they know death cannot be eventually avoided, according to researchers. A small study by psychologists from the US, Switzerland and Germany showed that warnings unrelated to death, such as “smoking makes you unattractive or“ smoking brings you and the people around you severe damage , were more effective in changing smokers attitudes toward their habit. This was especially the case in people who smoked to boost their self-esteem, such as youth who took up the habit to impress or fit in with their peersand others who thought smoking increased their social value, the researchers said. “In general, when smokers are faced with death-related anti-smoking messages on cigarette packs, they produce contrary reactions as reflected in their willingness to continue the risky smoking behavior, the study said.“To succeed with anti-smoking messages on cigarette packs one has to take into consideration that death warnings may make people smoke. Published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, the study was based on 39 psychology students, aged between 17 and 41, who said they were smokers. On the one hand, death-related warnings were not effective and even ironically caused more positive smoking attitudes among smokers who based their self-esteem on smoking, according to the study. On the other hand, warning messages that were unrelated to death effectively reduced the smoking attitude that smokers can base their self-esteem on smoking. The researchers said this finding can be explained by the fact that warnings such as“ smoking makes you unattractive may be particularly threatening to people who believe that smoking makes them feel valued by others or improves their self-image. 68.The underlined word “boost in Paragraph 2 can be best replaced by“ A. compare B. examine C .damage D. improve 69. As for cigarette pack warnings, the study probably agreed that they---. A. shouldn’t include death warnings B. should be made known to the public C. should help smokers improve their self-image D. should stress the risk of smoking behavior 70 According to the passage, certain smokers tend to mind A. how their smoking habit impresses others B. how harmful cigarettes are to their health C. what they can do to give up smoking D. what researchers may suggest to them 71.The best title of this passage is likely to be“ .
