2．你如何解释你昨天没上学呢？
How do youaccountfor your absence from school yesterday？

1．SOME teenagers take up smoking during the holidays either because they become"rich"enough to afford a pack of cigarettes or they think they look"cool"．Everyone knows that"smoking is bad for you"，but do smokers really know what the health warnings mean to them？
Smoking，the world's second leading cause of preventable death，kills 4.9million people a year，the United Nations said on February 27．The world has about l.2billion smokers and World Health Organization surveys show that about 20per cent of them are children aged between 13and 15years old．
On the same day，a global treaty（公约） aimed at encouraging children not to smoke and help people kick the habit came into force．This is the first worldwide agreement on a public health issue．It will see strong warnings added to cigarette packets and a ban on all tobacco advertising．
Young smokers may think little of the health effects of smoking．But smoking can stop them from making friends，as most non-smokers don't like being around smokers．
"I feel sick when I see people of my age smoke．Smokers make themselves look less educated，"said Shi Qingyu，a Senior 3student at Luanxian No 1High School in Hebei Province．Once while on a bus，he asked a girl who was smoking next to him to put out her cigarette．
For Wang Gezhu，a Senior l  girl from Wuxi Furen High School in Jiangsu Province，boys who smoke are less attractive．
"Boys that smoke may think they are cool or impressive，but I think they look weird（怪异的） compared to other ordinary students in my eyes．They only do what others won't risk doing，"Wang said．
Every one wants to impress others，but there are ways to show off other than smoking．
On February 26，around 200students from across the country gathered in Beijing to be awarded for their outstanding performance in the 2004"Sunflower Cup"．The programme included several contests in writing，calligraphy （书法），drawing and painting．It aimed to encourage students to take part in meaningful activities so that they could spend their free time developing healthy habits and hobbies．
"Teenagers are energetic and quick to learn，both good and bad things．For the sake of their own health，teenagers should learn to say no to their first cigarette because life as a smoker is a life of addiction．You can't quit，"said Wang Zhengqi，deputy  secretary-general （副秘书长） of the Chinese Association on Smoking and Health．

13．You're in a department store and you see a couple of attractive young women looking at a sweater．You listen to their conversation：
"I can't believe it--a Lorenzo Bertolla!They are almost impossible to find．Isn't it beautiful？And it's a lot cheaper than the one Sara bought in Rome．"
They leave and you go over to see this incredible sweater．It's nice and the price is right．You've never heard of Lorenzo Bertolla，but those girls looked really stylish．They must know．So，you buy it．You never realize that those young women are employees of an advertising agency．They are actually paid to go from store to store，talking loudly about Lorenzo Bertolla clothes．
Every day we notice what people are wearing，driving and eating．If the person looks cool，the product seems cool，too．This is the secret of undercover marketing．Companies from Ford to Nike are starting to use it．
Undercover marketing is important because it reaches people that don't pay attention to traditional advertising．This is particularly true of the MTV generation----consumers between the age of 18and 34．It is a golden group．They have a lot of money to spend，but they don't trust ads．
So advertising agencies hire young actors to"perform"in bars and other places where young adults go．Some people might call this practice deceptive（骗人的），but marketing executive Jonathan Ressler calls it creative．"Look at traditional advertising．Its effectiveness is decreasing．"
However，one might ask what exactly is"real"about of young women pretending to be enthusiastic about a sweater？Advertising executives would say it's no less real than an ad．The difference is that you know an ad is trying to persuade you to buy something．You don't know when a conversation you overhear is just a performance．
