Now, lots of parents take their children from activity to activity. So, many {#blank#}1{#/blank#}  are under too much pressure. Teachers also complain about {#blank#}2{#/blank#}  tired kids in the classroom. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}  parents are nothing new, but now parents seem to push their children a lot {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. In some families, competition {#blank#}5{#/blank#}  from a very young age. Parents see other children {#blank#}6{#/blank#}  a lot of things, and they feel their own children should do the same. Children say their parents are always comparing {#blank#}7{#/blank#}  with other children. They think parents shouldn't push them so {#blank#}8{#/blank#}. They may find it hard {#blank#}9{#/blank#}  for themselves when they are older. So please give children more {#blank#}10{#/blank#}  to relax.

Tang Ling often smoked cigarettes(香烟) in his school's washing room. He {#blank#}1{#/blank#} smoking at the age of 14. One day he learnt that the NBA star Yao Ming, an ambassador(大使) to the Chinese Association on Tobacco Control (中国控烟协会), asked people not to smoke. Yao Ming was Tang's favorite star, and his words meant a lot to him. He decided to give up {#blank#}2{#/blank#} .
According to the Chinese Association on Tobacco Control, about 350 million Chinese smoke. Among them, 50 million are teenagers. Sun Jiangping of Beijing University said, “ Teenagers can get cigarettes {#blank#}3{#/blank#} , especially when their parents smoke or shops sell cigarettes to them. It's very important for parents to help their children {#blank#}4{#/blank#} smoking.”
A 15-year-old boy {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Li Kun from Beijing said his parents didn't smoke. Because they {#blank#}6{#/blank#} smoking could make people feel {#blank#}7{#/blank#} ill, they only {#blank#}8{#/blank#} him to play with friends without smoking. {#blank#}9{#/blank#} in such a good family helped Li say no to cigarettes. Some of his smoking classmates once told Li that smoking made boys look cool, but Li disagreed. He said, “Smoking is {#blank#}10{#/blank#} and it's not cool at all. Please stop smoking now!”

    An education program in Chengdu teaches children in cities about pandas and other {#blank#}1{#/blank#} animals. They send people to schools to tell children about the {#blank#}2{#/blank#} of saving these animals. The children sing songs or make artwork about pandas and other wild animals. Teaching children is one {#blank#}3{#/blank#} to help save pandas. The Chinese government is also trying {#blank#}4{#/blank#} to help save the pandas. Scientists are doing research to better understand the habits of pandas. We all hope that {#blank#}5{#/blank#} there will be a lot more pandas than now.
