【解析】

试题分析：很多年轻的男孩子和女孩子有吸烟的习惯，尽管他们还只是高中生。他们认为吸烟是一种时尚，也能够让他们精神振作。但是众所周知，吸烟有害健康，会引起很多种疾病，其中最严重的是肺癌。此外吸烟还会造成火灾。

1.had改为 have 考查动词时态。Many young boys and girls had the habit of smoking, 本文讲述的是一种社会现象，应该用一般现在时，主语是复数名词boys，所以把had改为have。

2.student 改为 students 考查名词单复数。though they are middle school student. 主语和动词都用的是复数形式，所以学生应该是复数students。

3.do 改为 does 考查主谓一致。As we all know, smoking do harm to human beings. 动名词做主语时，谓语动词应该用单数形式，因为文章用的是一般现在时，所以把do改为does。

4.realized 后的that去掉 考查连接词。 More and more people have realized that how serious this problem is. Realized后面是宾语从句，从句是以how引导的感叹句 ，而that是引导陈述句做宾语从句，所以把that去掉。

5.boring 改为 bored 考查形容词。 But they are never boring with it. 。boring形容事物的特征，意思是“令人烦的，烦人的”，bored形容人的心理状态，意思是“感到厌烦的”。 本句主语是人，固定短语：be bored with “对….感到厌烦”，所以把boring改为bored。

6.other 改为 others 考查代词。and the other think smoking can refresh himself.根据上文语境可知此处指其他同学们，是复数的概念，而the other 指两者中的另一个，所以把other改为others。

7.himself 改为 themselves 考查代词。and the other think smoking can refresh himself.。 句中指的是学生们吸烟为了让他们自己消除疲劳，所以把himself改为themselves。

8.causing 改为 caused 考查非谓语动词。The most serious illness causing by smoking is lung cance。在句中causing by smoking 是后置定语，和被修饰名词illness之间是被动关系，所以用过去分词，把causing改为caused。

9.the waste of money 中the 改为 a 考查冠词。Meanwhile, smoking is the waste of money.固定短语：a waste of time /money 浪费时间、浪费金钱，所以把the改为a。

10.danger 改为 dangerous 考查形容词。 What’s worse, careless smokers may cause danger fires。Danger是名词“危险，带来危险的人或物”，修饰名词fires应该用形容词，把danger改为dangerous。

考点：考查短文改错。
