Did you know that 11,000 people die every day from smoking? Did you know that people die every day from breathing smoke1other people's cigarettes?
Tobacco smoke has 43 ingredients that may2cancer. If smokers had learned these 3when they were young, they probably would never have started smoking.
Most smokers try4first cigarette when they are teenagers. Often, they start smoking because they think that it makes them look more5. Sometimes they start smoking because their friends tell them that it's cool. If teenagers are told that half of them will die before the age of 65 from smoking cigarettes, how can they still think it's cool to smoke?
One of the biggest problems is cigarette advertisements. Tobacco companies6tell the truth to teenagers about cigarettes. After watching the advertisements on TV or looking at the posters in which people ride horses or play in a rock band, young people often think that smoking7be cool.
Sadly, cigarettes are very difficult to8once a person has started smoking. Most teenagers start smoking9they are influenced by friends or cigarettes advertisements. And often, the teenagers regret the decision to start smoking later in life.
Teenagers need to know10bad cigarettes are for their health. If they are told that cigarettes kill more people than guns do, they probably will never start smoking.
To get rid of (摆脱) "holiday fat" is not that easy. The followings may give you some help.
Stay Active. One of the main reasons of being fat during the holidays is lack of (缺乏) exercise. Time is spent doing holiday activities such as having a big meal, watching TV and so on. These make us more tired.
Don't Starve (使挨饿) Yourself. Many people think that before taking part in a new year dinner, they should go hungry all day so that they won't get too many calories (卡路里) later on. The fact is you may be so hungry that you will eat much more.
Choose Healthy Food. For the cooks of the family, you really need to think about the ingredients (材料) that you often use and then think about how you can make the dish healthier.
Sleep. Lack of sleep not only leads to stress, it can also lead to weight gain (体重增加). Enough sleep can help you lose weight in some way. So try to have a good night's sleep.
Anyone who has had a long-term illness knows that recovering at home can be boring. This can be especially true for children. They may feel cut off from their friends and classmates. Now, these children may have a high-tech friend to help feel less lonely. That friend is a robot.
The robot is called Avatarl (AV1). It takes their place at school. Through the robot, the children can hear their teachers and friends. They can also take part in classes from wherever they are recovering. And the children's school friends must help. They carry the robot between classes and place the robot in the classroom.
A Norwegian(挪威的) company called “No Isolation” created the robot. There are another two co-founders, Karen Dolva and Marious Aabel. Dolva explains how the robot works. She says from home the child uses an iPad or a phone to start it, control the robot's movements with touch and talk through it. The child can take part in classroom activities. The robot is equipped with speakers, microphones and cameras that make communication easy. So it's the eyes, the ears and the voice of the child at school. Inside AV1 there is a small computer connected to a 4G network.
AV1 is designed to be tough. It won't allow water to pass through it and can take a fall from a desk without damage. AV1 is large and looks like a human for a reason. Dolva says it can't be just a tiny camera because the other kids can't pick it up and take it with them. This is important because the robot is supposed to be a friend to the children. Hopefully AV1 will help some children feel less lonely while they were absent from class.

One sheep, two sheep，632 sheep…still awake.
People always believe that counting sheep (be) helpful to their sleep. But does it (real) work?
Scientists at Oxford University tested it. Two sleep researchers looked at the people who had (difficult) in sleeping. They divided them different groups. Then they asked them to try all kinds of ways to help (they) fall asleep quickly.
Surprisingly, it (take) those who were asked to count sheep more time to fall asleep than those who weren't. But when they were asked to imagine a relaxing picture-- a beach, for e , they fell asleep about twenty minutes(soon) than before, according to a report in The New York Times.
“Sometimes, counting tasks are OK, b they are thought as stressful by many people,” Dr. Richards told ABC News.
“As result, it may be a good way to try imagining colored fish slowly swimming in a river to help you sleep at night,” suggested Richards.
With the rapid development of science and technology, communication methods of people have changed a lot in the past years.
As we all know, in ancient times, people communicated with people who were far from them only by letters, which took a very long time to get the message.
In the 19th century, telegraph was invented, but it was not widely used, letter is still the main method at that time. In1836, John Coker invented the first electromagnetic telegraph(电磁电报机) in the world, then telegraph appeared and was popular, which was much faster than letter, bringing great convenience to people.
As time goes by, telephones become increasingly widely used. Now, the phone has been developed as mobile phone, fixed telephone, Internet telephone and other kinds, being an essential communication tool in the modern information society.
In addition, network communication is popular as well. It is especially widely welcomed by the youths. A great number of people communicate with others on the Internet by using software, such as email, QQ, WeChat, bbs, MSN and so on. Using software is easy. A computer which is connected to the network is enough. In China, WeChat has become the most popular communication software nowadays. WeChat, known as Weixin in Chinese, is a mobile phone text and voice messaging communication software which is developed by Tencent. People can make video calls that not only can hear the sound, but also can see the people you talk to.
