America’s First Black President

    Ten-year-old Barack Obama was one of the only three black students at his school in Hawaii．the US．He is different from most of the other students．White girls wanted to touch his hair．A white boy asked him whether his father was people．

    ”I lied to them that my father was a Kenyan prince（王子）．But I kept asking myself who I was，”said Obama．

37 years later，to everyone’s surprise，the boy became well-known．On November 4th，2008，Obama became the first black president in US history．

    Obama was born to an African father and a white American woman from a small town in the US in 1961．He grew up in Indonesia and Hawaii．This unusual background（背景） made him wonder who he was．He even wanted to forget this question．

    With the help of his friends．Obama finally turned his life around in the university．After leaving from Columbia University in l983，he had a great idea——working hard to bring change to the world．So he moved from New York to Chicago in 1985 and worked in a poor African—American area for three years．After that，he studied laws in Harvard University and graduated in l991．Later．he became the third black senator（参议员）in US history．

During his race to the highest post in the US，Obama talked about his background．He called for a United States of America，rather than a white America or a black America.

（4）奥巴马的成功使马丁·路德·金（Martin Luther King）的梦想变成了现实．That is：（5）A man should not be judged by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character．”He said at the speech in Chicago after he was elected．

One of the reasons why young people smoke is that they think it is cool. In real life some stars like Jackie Chan（成龙）think smoking is bad. Chan doesn’t think it is cool at all! And sports stars like Yao Ming don’t smoke cigarettes, but they are very cool. Sometimes people start smoking because their friends ask them to do so, or they see other people like their parents doing it and think that it’s OK. Some people think that smoking can stop stress（压力）. But there are better ways to beat stress.

●     Exercise is one way. Exercise relaxes your muscles（肌肉）and help you stop smoking if you have already started.

●     Go for a long walk without cigarettes, and breathe in the air around you. Maybe take some lunch and breathe in a park, and think about how much better you feel without a cigarette in your mouth.

●     Also think about the money you will save by not smoking. You can spend it on much more fun things like music, clothes or nice food.

●     To stay away from smoking, keep a list with you saying why smoking is bad.

●     Tell your friends and ask them to help you. If they’re your good friends, they will help you.

Millions of people have already given up smoking---it is not difficult if you try hard!
