    　　When Boris left school, he could not find a job．He tried hard and pestered(纠缠)his relatives, but they had problems of their own．He answered advertisements until he could not afford to buy any more stamps．Boris grew annoyed, then depressed, then a little hardened．Still he went on trying and still he failed．He began to think that he had no future at all．

    　　“Why don't you start your own business?” one of his uncles told him．“The world is a money-locker．You'd better find a way of opening it．”

    　　“But what can I do?”

    　　“Get out and have a look round．” advised his uncle in a vague sort of way．“See what people want; then give it to them, and they will pay for it．”

    　　Boris began to cycle around the town and found a suitable piece of a waste ground in the end．Then he set up his business as a cycle repairer．He worked hard, made friends with his customers and gradually managed to build up his goodwill and profit．A few months later, he found that he had more work than he could deal with by himself．He found a number of empty shops but they were all no good：in the wrong position, too expensive or with some other snag(障碍)．But at long last, he managed to find an empty shop on a new estate where there were plenty of customers but no competition．

    　　Chinese cigarette packs will have skulls(骷髅),blackened teeth or diseased lungs printed on them in the latest effort to deal with smoking,but one expert said the images may actually attract younger people to take up the habit.

    　　The images would have to take up at least 30 percent of the pack's surface area under rrules that would come into force from January 2009.It was part of a plan that would also see tobacco advertising banned in China by 2011.Similar images are already printed on packs in countries including Singapore,Thailand and Canada.

    　　Chinese cigarettes are also among the cheapest in the world and a packet can cost as little as eight US. cents.

    　　The country needs to take effective measures to cut down smoking or the habit could end up killing 2.2 million Chinese a year by 2020,the World Health Organization said in May.
