13．Each year，more than 30，000 elephants are poached（偷猎）for their ivory．But recently，china-the world's largest market for ivory products-promised to end its sale of ivory．
"Ending legal sales of ivory in China is the greatest step to reduce elephant poaching in African，"says Peter Knights，CEO of the conservation group Wild-Aid．"We praise China for its leadership．"
   Chinese leaders say that the nation will gradually reduce its amount to zero．They are also encouraging other countries to follow China's lead by taking action against the illegal ivory trade．
   Africa once had as many as 3.5 million elephants．Today，only about 500，000 remain．Conservation experts say elephants could someday disappear entirely if the illegal ivory trade does not end．
   The international trade of ivory was banned in 1989．However，China has still allowed ivory to be sold．In addition，the US-the second-largest market for ivory-still allows the trade of ivory acquired before the ban．Europeans still support the ivory market by selling ivory from long ago．Many poachers are taking advantages of these rules．They are still illegally hunting elephants for ivory，but selling the ivory in legal markets．
  Last week，the US destroyed more than a ton of ivory in New York City's Time Square to show its commitment to ending the illegal ivory trade．China held a similar ivory-crushing event last month，and other countries have done the same in recent years．
  Some wildlife supporters say destroying ivory will reduce the supply of ivory，leading to more poaching．But organizers say the events will raise awareness of the illegal ivory trade and increase support for ending it．
"China，the US and the other major ivory-consuming countries hold the key to saving Africa's elephants，"says Ginette Hemley，senior vice president of Wildlife Conservation at the World Wildlife Fund．

3． Empathy
        Last year，researchers from the University of Michigan reported that empathy，the ability to understand other people，among college students had dropped sharply over the past 10 years．That could be because so many people have replaced face time with screen time，the researchers said．（36）BJennifer Freed，a codirector of a teen program，has another explanation．Turn on the TV，and you're showered with news and reality shows full of people fighting，competing，and generally treating one another with no respect．（37）DThere are good reasons not to follow those bad examples．Humans are socially related by nature．Having relationships with other people is an important part of being human-and having empathy is decisive to those relationships．Researchers have also found that empathetic teenagers are more likely to have high selfrespect．（38）GEmpathy is also an indication of a good leader．In fact，Freed says，many top companies report that empathy is one of the most important things they look for in new managers．（39）F"Academics are important．But if you don't have emotional （情感的） intelligence，you won't be as successful in work or in your love life，"she says．
        What's the best way to up your EQ （情商）？For starters，let down your guard and really listen to others．（40）C   To really develop empathy，you'd better volunteer at a nursing home or a hospital，join a club or a team that has a diverse membership，have a"sharing circle"with your family，or spend time caring for pets at an animal shelter．

5．Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day is named after Saint Valentine，an early Christian churchman who reportedly helped young lovers．Valentine was killed for his Christian beliefs on February 14more than 1700years ago，but the day that had his name is even earlier than that．More than 2，000years ago，the ancient Romans celebrated a holiday for lovers．As part of the celebration，girls wrote their names on pieces of paper and put them in a large container．Boys reached into the container and pulled one out．The girl whose name was written on the paper became his lover or sweet heart for a year．
Lovers still put their names on pieces of paper and they send each other Valentine's Day cards that tell of their love．Sometimes they also send gifts，like flowers or chocolate candy．Americans usually send these gifts and cards through the mail system．But some use another way to send this message．They have it printed in a newspaper．The cost is usually a few dollars．Some of the messages are simple and short，"Jane，I love you very much"．Others say more，for example，"Dan，Roses are red．Violets（紫罗兰） are blue．I hope you love me as much as I love you．Forever，Mary．"
Most of the newspapers that print such messages are local，but USA Today is sold throughout the United States and 90other countries as well．This means someone can send a Valentine message to a lover in a faraway city or town almost anywhere in the world．These messages cost 80dollars or more．An employee of USA Today says readers can have a small heart or rose printed along with their messages this year．Will this kind of Valentine's Day message reach the one you love？Well，just make sure he or she reads the newspaper．

2．ABC News anchor （节目主持人） Peter Jennings died on Aug.7，2005at home in New York after a brief battle with lung cancer．ABC News anchors said they hope if anything good can be taken from Jennings'death，it is a great awareness of the dangers of smoking．
"I want to give a message，"Barbara Walters said．"If you have kids who are smoking，tell them that we lost Peter．"
Lung cancer is the worst killer in America，taking more lives each year than any other cancer，according to the America Cancer Society．About 160，440Americans die each year of cancer，making up 28percent of all cancer deaths．More than 87percent of lung cancers are smoking related．
Dr．Derek Raghavan，director of the Cleveland Clinic's Taussing Cancer Center（陶西格癌症中心），said that once a person stops smoking，he starts getting better．Three to five years after quitting，the possibility of getting lung cancer is reduced by half．
Warning signs of lung cancer can also be mixed with symptoms connected with long-term smoking．The three main warning signs are an increase of coughing that doesn't clear up，coughing up blood and sharp chest pains．
People with those symptoms should see a doctor．Raghavan said there have been promising developments in the treatment of lung cancer，including uses of radiation and surgery and drugs．"But the fact is that stopping smoking is the most important thing we can do，"Raghavan said．"There is no treatment that even comes close．"
