Ali is from a Middle Eastern country. He now stays in the USA. He smokes a lot of cigarettes (香烟) every
day. He has smoked for nine years. Ali says," I tried to quit (放弃) smoking in my hometown, but it was
impossible. My brothers smoke. All my friends smoke. At parties and at meetings, almost all the men smoke.
Here in the United States, not as many people smoke. It will be easier to change my habit here."
Many smokers are like Ali: they want to stop smoking. The smokers know that smoking is bad for their
health. They know it can cause cancer and heart disease. But it is difficult for them to give up smoking because cigarettes have a drug in them. The drug is nicotine (尼古丁). People who smoke a lot need nicotine.
When a person first begins to smoke, he usually feels terrible. The nicotine makes him sick. In a few days,
the smoker"s body is used to the nicotine, and he feels fine. Later, the smoker needs nicotine to keep feeling fine. Without nicotine, he feels bad.
It is very hard to quit smoking, and many people who quit will soon smoke again. At a party or at work they will decide to smoke "just one" cigarette. Then they will smoke another cigarette, and another. Soon they become smokers again. Maybe there is only one easy way to quit smoking: never start.

l exercise. Running, power walking, jogging and push-ups took their toll. When Jeremy got home an hour

school workers in writing about her son"s asthma.
The Gees live in Kentucky, which has passed laws allowing students to carry their asthma medication
(药物治疗)with them at school. Alexander"s mom makes sure he has his inhaler (人工呼吸器) with him
when he goes to school and that he keeps it on hand at all times. In Delaware, where Jeremy lives, kids are
allowed to carry their inhalers at school.

Nowadays air pollution is something that hardly question any more. However, I still can"t walk down the
street in any of the big cities without 8 that people are 9 from the air pollution. It is time for the
government departments of the world to introduce emission (废气排放) controls on all cars and 10 the
public transport system to encourage people to 11 their cars at home. A friend of mine takes flying lesson

| March 22nd every year has been the World Water Day since 1993. Everyone knows that over 70% of our planet is covered with water, but do you know that only 3% of the water is fresh and less than 1% of this fresh water is available for human use? Water shortage The World Bank reports that 80 countries now have water shortages, while 40% of the more than 2 billion people, have no access to clean water. Fresh water is such a life-or-death issue(问题) in many parts of the world that every eight seconds a child dies from drinking dirty water. How to save water Turn off the tap while you brush you teeth in the morning and before bedtime, and you can save up to 8 gallons of water! That adds up to more than 200 gallons a month, enough to fill a huge fish tank that holds 6 small sharks! Keep your shower under 5 minutes long. In fact, a 5-minute shower uses more water than a person living in poverty in a developing country uses in an entire day. Fix the leak. If your toilet has a leak, you could be wasting about 200 gallons of water every day. That would be like flushing your toilet more than 50 times for no reason! We each share responsibility for the sustainable management of our water resources, which means using less water at home, in the workplace, at school, on holidays, on the farm,… everyone, everywhere, every time. | |||

| Everyone who has eaten instant noodles (方便面) before knows how it looks like. It is very easy to cook it instantly by putting the noodles into the boiling water and add in those MSG (味精) packets, together with your other food like eggs or vegetables. However, have you ever wondered whether this is the correct way of cooking it? When you first took out the noodles from the packaging, you will notice that the noodles are joined together nicely as a piece. In order to make the noodles joined together nicely side by side it needs some form of wax coating (石蜡涂层) in order to show an attractive instant noodles in front of us. Many people who enjoy eating instant noodles frequently do not really think too much of it as it seems very normal to everyone to have it nicely shown in front of us. However, researches have shown that the wax coating on the noodles is quite harmful to our body and we should not eat it too frequently.
