When my parents were alive，they were not very rich．Yet they helped their two older time after time．When Daddy passed away，his notebook showed debts from several of his children．I was not among them．I borrowed money and when I did，I set a repayment plan and to it．It was a matter of with me．I couldn’t stand owing my parents-or anyone else-mmoney because I watched them to help out my older sisters when they were in financial difficulties themselves．
These days，after the death of my parents，I am one of those people who can be to for help when they need it．Just as I can’t stand other people money，I can’t stand saying no to whoever needs help．I don’t helping others，but I would be more than glad if they would make a(n) to handle things themselves，perhaps by doing some planning-like planning not to speend money they don’t have!
Being ready to help others is a ，but sometimes the result will be to what you expect．I remember as a child what my father always said， “If at first you don’t succeed，try，try again!” Helping my children too often has them from learning to keep trying．Use your ：who among my children will to walk if I supply the money to buy a car? Helped often，my children lost gradually the ability to problems themselves．
In most ，when people find you can help，they will ask you more and more．That's human，you know．

Men as a group smoke more than women. Among both men and women， the age group with the highest proportion(比例) of smokers is the age group 24~44.
Income, education and occupation(职业) play a part in determining a person's smoking habits. City people smoke more than people living on farms. Well-educated men with high incomes are less likely to smoke cigarettes than men with fewer years of schooling and lower incomes. On the other hand, if a well-educated man with a higher income smoke at all, he is likely to smoke more packs of cigarettes every day.
The situation is somewhat different for women. There are slightly more smokers among women with higher family incomes and higher education than among the lower income and lower educational groups. These more highly educated women tend to smoke more heavily.
Among teenagers(青少年) the picture is similar. There are fewer teenage smokers from upper-in-society, well-educated families, and from families living in farm areas. High school students who are preparing for college are less likely to smoke than those who do not plan to continue their education after school. Children are most likely to start smoking if one or both of their parents smoke.

countries, choice is a luxury , something wonderful but hard to get, not a right. And for those who think
th ey are exercising their right to make choices , the whole system is merely an illusion , a false idea
created by companies and advertisers hoping to sell their products.
The endless choice gives birth to anxiety in people's lives. Buying something as basic as a coffee pot
is not exactly simple. Easy access to a wide range of everyday goods leads to a sense of powerlessness
in many people, ending in the shopper giving up and walking away, or just buying an unsuitable item
(商品) that is not really wanted. Recent studies in England have shown that many electrical goods bought
in almost every family are not really needed. More difficult decision-making is then either avoided or
trusted into the hands of the professionals ,lifestyle instructors , or advisors.
It is not just the availability of the goods that is the problem, but the speed with which new types of
products come on the market. Advances in design and production help quicken the process. Products
also need to have a short lifespan so that the public can be persuaded to replace them within a short time. The typical example is computers , which are almost out-of-date once they are bought. This indeed makes selection a problem. Gone are the days when one could just walk with ease into a shop and buy one thing: no choice, no anxiety.
B. The practice of choice is difficult.
C. The right of choice is given but at a price.
D. Choice and right exist at the same time.
B. People are likely to find themselves overcome by business persuasion.
C. Shoppers may find themselves lost in the broad range of items.
D. Companies and advertisers are often misleading about the range of choice.
B. products of the latest design flood the market
C. competitions are fierce in high-tech industry
D. everyday goods need to be replaced often
B. The opinions on people's right in different countries.
C. The problems about the availability of everyday goods.
D. The helplessness in purchasing decisions.
