It’s not easy to be an astronaut’s son．Everybody expects you to be special or perfect．I

often wonder how my father ever had a son like me．I mean he’s so special and so good at

everything he does．Even in middle school he was class president and captain of the football

team．

    Well，to be honest，I often dream about being some kind of hero or doing something

special—like saving a child from a burning building or discovering a new star．I was daydreaming at school one morning when my teacher said there would be a Father’s Day writing competition for the whole sch001．“I hope we have a winner right here in my class．”

    When I got home，I started to think about what to write．My father is an astronaut．N0，I

wouldn’t start like that．That was the way others saw him．How did I see my father? Hmm．

    I saw him sitting with me in the dark when I had a terrible dream．I remembered how he

hugged me for hours when my dog Spotty was killed by a car．Yes，these were the things I

 was going to write．To me，he wasn’t just a world—famous astronaut．He was my dad．

    My parents and l went to school Thursday night．There were so many people in the big[来源:Z,xx,k.Com]

hall! My dad looked at me，and I shrugged(耸肩)．

    The third prize was announced and it was not me．1 was relieved(释然)and disappointed at the same time．The second prize was announced．It was me．

    1 went up to the stage and read what I had written，“My father’s son”．When I finished，the people stood up and cheered．I saw my father blowing his nose．Tears were running down my mother's face．Dad cleared his throat and put his hand on my shoulder．“Son，this

is the proudest moment of my life．’’

    It was the proudest moment of my life，too．Maybe I’ll never be a great hero or win a

Nobel Prize，but it was enough just to be my father’s son．

Students Begin to Smoke at a Younger Age
SHANGHAI---- Almost one in four students aged between 12 and 14 have tried smoking, according to the results of a survey from the CATC(中国抗癌协会).
“ Quite a number of boy students in my class smoke outside the school yard during lunch break,” said Li Xiaolan, an English teacher from a high school in Shanghai.
The survey also found that 39 percent of students took their first cigarette from their classmates.
“ It was quite common to smoke with my classmates at school,”said Zhou Guangrong,a 22- year–old university student from Guiyang, Guizhou province,who started smoking at the age of 12.
Most of the student smokers buy cigarettes themselves.” My middle and high schools were surrounded by cigarette shops when I was a student,” said Liu Minghui who used to smoke two cigarettes per day in primary school and two packs per week in middle and high school.
“ We’re keen to show that more teenagers are starting smoking much younger than before,and that we need to minimize(降低) the number of young smokers,” said Duan Jiali, an officer in CATC. He added that teachers and parents should set a good example for teenagers by not smoking in front of them at school or at home, which is the best way of stopping teenagers from smoking.
【小题1】According to the survey,in a middle school if a class has 40 students, about _____ smoke.
