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!”

   Life today is much{#blank#}1{#/blank#} . However, there are new problems. One of the biggest ones is pollution. Water {#blank#}2{#/blank#} has made rivers dirty. It kills fish and {#blank#}3{#/blank#}  our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us speak {#blank#}4{#/blank#}  and become angry more {#blank#}5{#/blank#} . Air pollution is the {#blank#}6{#/blank#} serious kind of pollution. It's bad for all {#blank#}7{#/blank#}  things in the world.

    There were three old teachers at the railway s{#blank#}1{#/blank#}. They were talking happily. The train arrived, but they didn't notice. Then the conductor(列车长) shouted, “G{#blank#}2{#/blank#}  on the train and take the seats, please”

    The teachers heard the conductor and rushed for the train. T{#blank#}3{#/blank#} of them got on the train b{#blank#}4{#/blank#} it moved. The third one didn't get on the t{#blank#}5{#/blank#}. It was Mr. Green. He looked worried.  One of his students was at the station. He t{#blank#}6{#/blank#} to comfort(安慰) the teacher. It wasn't really b{#blank#}7{#/blank#}, sir,” said the student. “Two out of three c{#blank#}8{#/blank#} the train. That's quite good, you know.”   “I know, “the teacher said, “But it was m{#blank#}9{#/blank#} train. My friends only came to s{#blank#}10{#/blank#} goodbye to me”

    More and more people like bicycling and it is no surprise. It is amazing， healthy and good for the environment.

    I have lived in Beijing all my life. I will tell you about my life today and in the past. My family lived in a tiny house in the past. There {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (be) no electric lights, only candles. My father was a postman, and he often {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (work) twelve hours a day outside in the winter cold or in the summer heat. My mum was a farm girl before she met my father. She was a kind and loving mother. She {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(not go ) out to work. There were five {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (child) in my family and looking after us was more than a full-time job.

    I remember the family meals. The food was simple. We could only eat meat {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (one) or twice a year. I {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (not send) to school because my family couldn't afford it, and what's more, because I was a girl.

    Today, life {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (change). Families have got {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (small) than they were in the past. Most people only have one child! The role of women has changed too. My daughter is

    Really {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (luck) .She has a good education, and she goes to work even after getting {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (marry). I'm happy to see she's busy {#blank#}11{#/blank#} (work) every day, but sometimes I feel lonely because she can't come {#blank#}12{#/blank#} (see) me often.
