It was Sunday. The weather was very fine. The students of Class One went out for a {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. They went by {#blank#}2{#/blank#} with fruits, vegetables, meat, cookers and some {#blank#}3{#/blank#} things. At about half past ten, they {#blank#}4{#/blank#} at the foot of a hill. There was a big lake and many green trees there. Birds were singing and the air was very fresh. The students were {#blank#}5{#/blank#} preparing for the picnic. Some of them were getting {#blank#}6{#/blank#} from the lake, some were washing vegetables and fruits, and others were putting a big cloth {#blank#}7{#/blank#} the grass. At about twelve o'clock the lunch was ready.

    After lunch, they had a good time by singing, dancing, drinking and talking. At three o'clock, they began to {#blank#}8{#/blank#} the hill. The hill was quite {#blank#}9{#/blank#}, but they all tried to reach the {#blank#}10{#/blank#} of it. On the hill, they felt very excited and all cheered.

    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!"

    One Saturday afternoon, my daughter Alice asked me, "Are all people the same even {#blank#}1{#/blank#} they are different in color?" I thought for a minute and then I said, "I'll explain to you if we can make {#blank#}2{#/blank#}quick stop at the grocery store. I have something interesting to show you." At the grocery store, we {#blank#}3{#/blank#} some apples: red, green and yellow ones. Back home, I told Alice, "It's time to answer your question." I put one apple of each kind on the table. Then I looked at Alice, who had a strange look on her {#blank#}4{#/blank#}.

    People are like apples. They come in all different colors, shapes and sizes. Some of the apples may not even look like the others. As I was talking, Alice was examining each one {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. Then, I took each of the apples and peeled {#blank#}6{#/blank#} with a knife, placing them back on the table, but in a different place. "Okay, Alice, tell me which is which." She said, "That's {#blank#}7{#/blank#}. They all look the same now." "Take a bite of each one and taste. See if that {#blank#}8{#/blank#}you decide which one is which." Smile came across her face, "People are just like apples! They are all different, but once you take {#blank#}9{#/blank#}the outside, they're pretty much the same on the {#blank#}10{#/blank#}."

    She totally got it. I didn't need to say or do anything else.
