At midnight Mr. King coughed again. He got up and took some medicine. Before he lay down again, he smoked. And he couldn't go to sleep any longer. He found the medicine book and began to read it. He was afraid he had lung cancer. He seemed to see death was waiting for him. Tears(眼泪) ran down his face. He didn't see his wife was standing by him.
“What's wrong with you, dear?” asked the woman.
“Nothing,” the old man answered and covered his face with his hands.
The old woman opened the book and understood at once. She said, “You must stop smoking right now.”
“I began to smoke when I was nine, you know. How can't I do that?”
“But I think health is more important.”
Mr. King coughed again and his wife said, “Go to see a doctor tomorrow. He will be able to help you, I think.”
The doctor told Mr. King to have an Xray examination of his lungs. And then he looked at the Xray carefully for a long time.
“Tell me the truth, doctor.”said Mr.King, “Do you see any shadows(阴影)in my lungs?”
“No, I don't see anything.”
“Yes?” the old man said happily. “Really?”
“Yes. Your lungs are turning black. How can I see any shadows?”

    In the Charles E. Johnson Elementary School in New York, there is a special radio. It gives people warnings（警报）about bad weather.
One day, there came a sound from the radio. This sound brought the piece of news:a heavy storm was coming. William Tom, principal（校长）of the school, asked teachers to bring children indoors and put them in a safe place at once.
   Minutes later, the storm came. However, because of the warning of the radio and the quick work of the principal, no one was hurt.
“The radio really did work very well.             （我们对它的工作感到很高兴），”William Tom said. “The parents were as well.”
    The U.S. government hopes there will be more such success stories. It plans to give this kind of radios to all 97,000 public schools in the country.
    Every year, more than 10,000 big thunderstorms, 2,500 floods, 1,000 tornadoes（龙卷风）and some hurricanes（飓风）take place in the U.S., so the warning radios are very useful. They not only give people warnings about bad weather, but also give warnings about other dangerous things.

Ever since I was a child，my mouth has caused me trouble．I'm not a bad person；I have just had a hard time learning when to keep my mouth closed．

My mom has told me again and again，"Robert，your constant bad words are hurting me．If you continue to be this rude，you will get into big trouble．"

It's been a problem at school several times，too，when teachers have told me something I didn't want to hear．I used to feel it was my duty to stand up for myself and tell them ______ off．

One day in English class I began working on my homework until I heard a classmate talking behind me．It was Nathaniel，talking to himself as usual．

I said ever so nicely，"Nathaniel，would you be quiet?"

Nathaniel continued talking to himself．I quickly shouted，"Nathaniel，shut up!"

For the next five minutes，we threw hurtful words back and forth at each other．

"At least I don't have an ugly lazy eye like you!"I shouted．

I knew this would bother him deep inside．It would hurt his feelings and shut him up．

What I said filled him with anger．He tried to reach over my seat and grab me as he shouted．"That's it! That's it!"

Surprised at his reaction，I sat back in seat．Never had I seen Nathaniel act like this before．

Later on，we were taken to the principal's office．

There，the principal told US to discuss the matter．It wasn't until then that I finally found that when I hurt someone physically，the wounds(伤口)eventually heal．But when I hurt them with my words，sometimes the pain never goes away．

At the end of the discussion，I said sorry to Nathaniel．

When I headed back to my room，I spent some time praying． I began to think about how often what I said hurt others．But I believe that as I keep praying and asking God to help me，he'll tell me when to keep my mouth closed．
