　　Giving up smoking will most likely add seven years to one's life．While many people try to give up and fail, it is not an impossible task．Follow these five tips, and you will be well on your way to giving up smoking．

　　　　1　　

　　Success in all fields of life begins with firm determination．If you are weak in willpower, you can never do anything．However, if you make up your mind, once and for all, that you are giving up the habit, whenever you want a smoke, you will remember your promise and not give in．

　　　　2　　

　　If you sit around doing nothing there is a higher chance that you will light up a cigarette and relax．Fill your spare time with sports and energetic activities．Try to feel how good it is to get your blood circulating and to breathe in air deeply．If you are not the athletic type, then walking will have the same benefit as other kinds of sports．

　　　　3　　

　　If going to a bar means that you are going to have a drink and then light up, maybe it is better to avoid that place for the time being．Once you have truly stopped smoking and you feel how good it is, you can go anywhere and not be tempted．But while you are in the transition phase, it is better to carefully choose where you will spend your recreational time．

　　　　4　　

　　Whenever you get a desire to put a cigarette in you mouth, replace it with something that will help you rather than harm you．Drinking small amounts of water throughout the day is not only a good way to help you give up smoking, but it is also a great way to stay healthy．You should drink eight glasses of water per day, if you can．If you need to put something solid in your mouth, then eat a piece of fruit．

　　　　5　　

　　Tell them that you are giving up smoking for health reasons．Your true friends will support you and not offer you cigarettes．Your family and loved ones will similarly support your efforts and help you to avoid situations where you may feel you have to smoke because of social pressure．

If you are hungry, what do you do? Have your favorite meal and stay quiet after that? 　　1　　 But it never lets you know, because you keep it busy thinking about your friends or favorite stars．So it silently serves your needs and never lets itself grow．When mind loses its freedom to grow, creativity gets a full stop．This might be the reason why we all sometimes think "What happens next? ", "Why can't I think? "

　　2　　 Why reading but not watching TV? It is because reading has been the most educative tool used by us right from childhood．Since it develops other aspects of our life, we have to get help from reading．

This is nothing but creativity．　　4　　 Within no time you can start talking with your friends in English or any other language and never run out of the right words．

So guys, do give food for your thoughts by reading, reading and more reading．　　5　　 Go and get a book!

　　Hospital emergency rooms treat injured fingers all the time．Without treatment, a bad cut can lead to permanent damage．But how should a person know when a bleeding cut is serious enough to require medical attention?

　　Here are some tips from Dr．Martin Brown, chairman of the department of emergency at Inova Alexandria Hospital in Virginia．

　　1．Laceration(裂口)

　　The medical term for a cut or tear in the skin is a laceration．　　1　　 A long cut on a finger can likely be treated without a visit to a doctor if the wound is not very deep．However, if you have a short but deep laceration, you will need professional attention,

　　2．Fingertips cut off

　　Some injuries, like a fingertip that gets cut off, might even need surgery to repair．　　2　　 More often, cutting down the bone is what is done because reattaching a fingertip is often not successful．

　　3．Bleeding

　　　　3　　 Small cuts usually produce what is known as venous(静脉的)bleeding．This means the blood flows steadily from the injury．The bleeding will often stop when pressure is put on the wound．In most cases holding direct pressure with a clean cloth for four to five minutes would do．But if a cut appears to be pumping blood out with some force, this may be a sign of arterial(动脉的)bleeding．　　4　　

　　Finally, always keep this in mind：even a cut that does not require medical attention must be kept clean to prevent infection．Small cuts should be cleaned gently with clean water．　　5　　 Then cover it with a clean, dry bandage．

A．How a wound bleeds can be a sign of how serious it is．

B．That requires a specialist to either cut down the bone or reattach the fingertip．

C．This kind of injury should be treated by a medical professional as soon as possible

D．The first signs of this disease include difficulty opening the mouth．

E．Use a washcloth to clean the area if the wound is dirty．

F．With a cut finger, holding the hand above the heart can reduce the loss of blood．

G The length is usually not as important as the depth．
