12.Anyone who has ever tried to stop smoking knows how difficult it is to quit.There is no lack of information about how unhealthy smoking is for you-not to mention the unpleasant smell.So why would teens ever begin to smoke?(31)C Research shows that the majority of smokers lit up their first cigarette in their early or mid-teens,precisely at a time when children are beginning to establish their own identity apart from their parents.Smoking can be an act of rebellion(反抗) against parents or authority figures,as well as a way to fit in with others and feel accepted.
Here are some things that parents can do to help a child stay smoke-free.
Start talking to your teen about how bad smoking is for him early,well before his teens.Keep talking,too. (32)F
(33)DFor example,smoking makes your hair and clothing smell bad,stains the teeth,and reduces your lung power to play sports.
(34)BTalk about the addictive power of smoking and tell him while those few cigarettes are his choice,the addiction that occurs shortly afterwards makes him powerless to decide whether or not he wants to light up.
Work on self-esteem(自尊) and self-confident with your teen.Much of the attraction of smoking is to gain acceptance. (35)E

Every October for more than two decades,teams from the University of New South Wales in Australia counted birds from an airplane flown low over 130,000square miles of wetlands in the eastern third of the continent.Their (44)B showed a steady decline,beginning in the mid-1980s.By 2006the number of migratory shorebirds had dropped by 73percent and the number of Australia's resident of shorebirds had fallen by 81percent."The(45)F of the decline took us by surprise,"says evolutionary ecologist Silke Nebel of the University of Western Ontario in London,the lead author of the report.
The survey (46)A that inland wetlands were more important to both resident and migratory birds than had been (47)K,and that wetland loss from damming (筑坝) and the diversion (分散) of river water for irrigation was at least in part (48)C for the shorebird decline in Australia.But wetlands are becoming smaller in countries all along the major flyway that (49)I from eastern Siberia to New Zealand,the study's authors note,so protecting the 8million birds that use the corridor (50)G will require an international solution.

I've always been thankful for that 44,because it taught me that to (45)Ahappiness we must cultivate the happy side of life.
I have known (46)Bpeople who seemingly have had everything(47)Dthem happy,but they were unhappy.And I have known people who have had(48)Dof this world's good and yet are happy.The(49)Cis that the latter have a happy attitude(50)Bthe former,just the opposite.
