How often one hears children wishing they were grown-ups, and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains(痛苦), and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets(后悔).

Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities(责任) to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. What’s more, life is always giving new things to the child--- things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is repeatedly being told not do something or being punished for what he has wrongly done.

When a young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society(社会) as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he worked hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the greatest happiness of building up for himself his own position(地位) in society.

In other words, when we   8  in your smoke, it’s like we’re smoking ourselves.   9 , we can also get disease. Doctors are finding that more and more   10  are falling ill because of the others’ smoking.

I know that it’s very   11  to stop smoking, but you must give it up. Please see the doctor and ask him   12  help. We will do anything we can to help you. You must try to   13  your own life. We don’t want to  14  you because you are so important to us.  15  you, who can help me with my maths homework or mend my bike? Please don’t smoke!

Your daughter,

Meimei
