Like a]l little children, my seven-year-old daughter gets scared sometimes when she is trying to go to sleep．If the wind is howling, her 　 36　 can begin working overtime and she may see a (n) 　37 in the shadows laughing in the wind.

This past Monday was one such night. 　38 after I put her to bed, she came into my room crying that she was scared. She said she 　39 the sound of a bad guy laughing and she was extremely afraid that 　40 was going to get all of us. Her tears 　41 my heart, and I held my daughter in my arms and assured her that nothing would happen to her. I walked her back into her room and 　42 down beside her to continue to assure her that I would keep her safe.

“Yes, I know you will always 　43 me, Daddy, but what about when you go to sleep?” she asked.

“Sweetheart,” I comforted her, “there are great angels all around this house, and they 　44 sleep. They are here just to safeguard us. They can 　45 any bad guy from getting in here.”

“ 46 , Daddy, what about when the angels miss? I mean like when kids are kidnapped (绑架)or robbers 　47 people’s houses – what about those 　48 ?”

Her question struck m e – when did I start 　49 questions like this? When did I begin not to consider the most obvious problems of our 　50 ? I mean, I 　51 problems every day but I am still very surprised by this 　52 question.

I considered her question and realized there is no perfect 　53 . And I drew my 　54 and simply sated, “I don’t know, sweetheart.” I held her a little 　55 , and I went back to my original answer, “I am with you.”

　　When thinking about quitting…

　　List all the reasons why you want to quit. Every night before going to bed, repeat one of the reasons 10 times.

　　Decide positively that you want to quit. Try to avoid negative (消极的) thoughts about how difficult it might be. Develop strong personal reasons in addition to your health and obligations (责任) to others. For example, think of all the time you waste taking cigarette breaks, rushing out to buy a pack, hunting a light, etc. Set a date for quitting—perhaps a special day like your birthday, a holiday. If you smoke heavily at work, quit during your vacation. Make the date sacred seriously, and don't let anything change it. Begin to condition yourself physically, start a modest(适度的)exercise; drink more water, get plenty of rest.

　　Immediately after quitting…

　　The first few days after you quit, spend as much free time as possible in places where smoking is prohibited (forbidden), e.g. libraries, museums, theatres, department stores, etc.

　　Drink large quantities of water and fruit juice. Try to avoid wine, coffee, and other drinks which remind you of cigarette smoking.

　　Strike up a conversation with someone instead of a match for a cigarette.

　　If you miss the sensations (感觉) of having a cigarette in your hand, play with something else—a pencil, a pen, a ruler.

　　If you miss having something in your mouth, try toothpicks or a fake(仿制的) cigarette.
