One of the reasons why young people smoke is that they think it is cool. In real life some stars like Jackie Chan（成龙）think smoking is bad. Chan doesn’t think it is cool at all! And sports stars like Yao Ming don’t smoke cigarettes, but they are very cool. Sometimes people start smoking because their friends ask them to do so, or they see other people like their parents doing it and think that it’s OK. Some people think that smoking can stop stress（压力）. But there are better ways to beat stress.

●     Exercise is one way. Exercise relaxes your muscles（肌肉）and help you stop smoking if you have already started.

●     Go for a long walk without cigarettes, and breathe in the air around you. Maybe take some lunch and breathe in a park, and think about how much better you feel without a cigarette in your mouth.

●     Also think about the money you will save by not smoking. You can spend it on much more fun things like music, clothes or nice food.

●     To stay away from smoking, keep a list with you saying why smoking is bad.

●     Tell your friends and ask them to help you. If they’re your good friends, they will help you.

Millions of people have already given up smoking---it is not difficult if you try hard!

The best and the worst jobs

There are lots of jobs which we can do. Some are just ordinary (普通的) jobs and   56   are careers (职业), but each person likes something   57 .

My favorite job is that of a (n)   58  . You can make beautiful thing and you don't have to   59   to get to work. Also, you don't have to do what other people tell you. You can   60   what you are going to paint and then you just do it. The only   61  thing is that artists don't make very much money.
The worst job I can think of is a pilot's. You have to work for long hours and it's   62   tiring and boring. If you make a serious mistake,      63   will go wrong. It's too dangerous. The only good thing is that pilots are paid a lot of money,    64  money isn't the most important thing about a job.
In a word,   65   job has both good and bad things about it, but I think that artists have got the best jobs.

March 5 is “Lei Feng Day”. Fifty years ago on this day, Chairman Mao Zedong called on people to “learn from Lei Feng”. Now half a century has passed. Is the spirit of Lei Feng outdated? Some people have shown us that it’s not. But people have also changed the ways in which they help others.

Li Yulin, who works in a hospital in Hang Zhou, Zhejiang, has been a volunteer for 15 years. He still remembers his experience in an old people’s home several years ago. An old woman held his hand and said, “You don’t need to do anything for us. Seeing young people like you here is all we need.” Those words made Li think: in what ways can we help people better? “Every person does what they can, no matter how small it is, to give out positive energy. And before we lend a helping hand, we should find out what they want,” Li said to the Qianjiang Evening News.

As well as Li, other people have shown their understanding of the spirit of Lei Feng. A “noodle fever” swept Zhengzhou, Henan in January. It started with an online post. Li Gang, a 42-year-old local man, said in the post that he has got cancer. He needed a lot of money for an operation. He was not asking for donations, but hoped people would come to eat at his restaurant. Li’s post spread quickly. Soon his restaurant was filled with people every day. Li had an operation on Feb. 2 and now he is getting better.

“It is good to help Li and his family like this for it shows them respect and doesn’t hurt their pride,” Qianjiang Evening News said.

1. If the teacher asks a question, you should give an answer. If you do not understand the question, you should put up your hand and ask the teacher to repeat the question. If you don’t know the answer, it’s all right to tell the teacher that you don’t know. Then he or she knows what you need to learn.

2. There is no excuse for not doing your homework. If you can not go to school, you should call your teacher or your classmate and ask for the homework. It is your responsibility（责任）to find out what homework you have missed. It is not the teacher’s job to remind you of missed homework.

3. You must not be absent(缺席) on a test day. If you are badly ill, call and let the teacher know you will not be there for the test. If your teacher allows you to take a makeup, you should take the test within one or two days after you return to class. Bad illness is the only reason for missing a test.
