Tang Ling often smoked cigarettes（香烟）in his school's washing room. He started smoking {#blank#}1{#/blank#} 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 {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（smoke）.Yao Ming was Tang's favorite star, {#blank#}3{#/blank#}his words meant a lot to him. He decided to give up smoking.

    According to the Chinese Association on Tobacco Control, about 350 million Chinese smoke. Among {#blank#}4{#/blank#}, 50 million are teenagers. Sun Jiangping of Beijing University said, "Teenagers can get cigarettes {#blank#}5{#/blank#}（easy）, especially when their parents smoke or shops sell cigarettes to them. It's very important {#blank#}6{#/blank#}.parents to help their children stop smoking."

    A 15-year-old boy {#blank#}7{#/blank#}（name） Li Kun from Beijing said his parents didn't smoke. Because they thought smoking could make people feel badly ill, they only allowed him to play with friends {#blank#}8{#/blank#}（with） smoking. Living in such a good family helped Li say "{#blank#}9{#/blank#}" to cigarettes. Some of his smoking classmates once told Li that smoking made boys look cool, but Li disagreed. He said, "{#blank#}10{#/blank#}（smoke） is unhealthy and it's not cool at all. Please stop smoking now!"

Dear Xiao Mei,

    How are you? I go to school {#blank#}1{#/blank#}Monday to Friday. We have six {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(class) a day. My favorite subject is math. It's difficult {#blank#}3{#/blank#}interesting. I don't like art because I can't draw(画画) {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(good).

    At school, I have {#blank#}5{#/blank#}good friends. They are Frank and Gina. We all like {#blank#}6{#/blank#}. I have a soccer ball, but Frank {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(not have) one. So he always plays soccer with me {#blank#}8{#/blank#}school. Gina loves sports, too. However(然而), she doesn't play {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(they). She only {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(watch) the games when(当……的时候) Frank and I play them.

Yours,

Li Wei
