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!”

    There was a small village near a mountain. People there loved their village very much and they grew many {#blank#}1{#/blank#} on the mountain. Water in the rivers was very clear and the {#blank#}2{#/blank#} was clean. People lived a poor life, but they were very {#blank#}3{#/blank#} . After a few years, some people in the village started to cut down trees to {#blank#}4{#/blank#} for money. There were some people from cities {#blank#}5{#/blank#} to visit the village. People began to kill some wild animals as {#blank#}6{#/blank#} to treat (招待) the visitors. Of course, they made lots of money. But {#blank#}7{#/blank#} knew what the village would be like in the future. As time went on, there were fewer plants and animals and the water became {#blank#}8{#/blank#}. The visitors became fewer and fewer. Several years later, people there knew they must stop destroying (破坏) {#blank#}9{#/blank#} . They would like to live a happy life as before, so they began to {#blank#}10{#/blank#} new plants. They hoped the village would become as beautiful as before.

    I was studying in Los Angeles , the USA . It is a big city with {#blank#}1{#/blank#} people living in it than in my whole country . I come from Singapore . It is one of the smallest {#blank#}2{#/blank#} in the world . We rented（租）a flat in a community near a favela（贫民窟）.

    For several months I did not have a car , so three times a week I used public transportation（交通）to go to the city centre . During these trip . I would ride with the people who took the {#blank#}3{#/blank#} bus from the favela to work .

    When I got on the bus , all the seats were already taken . But when people saw that my bag was very heavy , they offered to hold it on their lap（范围）to{#blank#}4{#/blank#} me feel lighter（轻松）. At first , I was{#blank#}5{#/blank#}. Then I realize that these people did not want to steal（偷盗）from me they only wanted to help me .

    Once , on my way back , I had to wait {#blank#}6{#/blank#} a long time at a bus stop . I was alone , expect for a woman who was very poor . She carried a small paper bag of popcom and nothing else . While we were waiting , she walked over and gave me some popcom . I thank her , but did not want to help{#blank#}7{#/blank#} to it . She then insisted（要求）that I should take some from what was evidently（明显地）her only food .

I wonder {#blank#}8{#/blank#} it is true that the more you have, the more difficulties you will have to share anything with others .

    I have a good {#blank#}1{#/blank#} at school. She is a girl. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} name is Lucy. We are in the same grade. But we are not in the same class. Lucy's brother is a student, {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} name is Tom. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} is a good boy. He is fifteen.
