________1．Hadley

If you smoke and you still don’t believe that there’s a definite link between smoking and bronchial troubles, heart disease and lung cancer, then you are certainly deceiving yourself．Just have a look at those people in hospital with these diseases and count how many of them do not smoke, you may be surprised at the number．Even these few people might be passive smokers without realising it．

________2．Randy

Tobacco is a wonderful commodity to tax．It’s almost like a tax on our daily bread．In tax revenue alone, the government of Britain collects enough from smokers to pay for its entire educational facilities．So while the authorities point out ever so carefully that smoking may be harmful, it doesn’t need to shout too loudly about it．

________3．Sampson

The advertising of tobacco is one of the problems．We are never shown pictures of real smokers coughing up their lungs early in the morning．That would never do．The advertisements always depict handsome, clean-shaven young men．They suggest it is manly to smoke, even positively healthy!Smoking is associated with the great open air life, with beautiful girls, true love and togetherness．

What utter nonsense!

________4．Rowley

Of course tobacco can help government to raise money．However, while money is eagerly collected in vast sums with one hand, it is paid out in increasingly vaster sums with the other．Enormous amounts are spent on cancer research and on efforts to cure people suffering from the disease．Countless valuable lives are lost．In the long run, there is no doubt that everybody would be much better off if smoking were banned altogether．

________5．Bernice

Smoking can provide constant consolation．When I feel worried or nervous, I just get a cigarette and everything seem to get right．After a day’s hard work, the thing I want to do most is smoking．It can be even better with a cup of coffee．It’s so enjoyable and relaxing that it relieves stresses of every day life．So why bother to ban it and take the pleasure from us．

Statements

A．Smoking brings many psychological benefits．

B．Tobacco is an important source of income to the government．

C．Smoking is sure to cause diseases．

D．It’s a short-sighted policy to depend on tobacco for money．

E．The advertisement for it is dishonest and harmful．

F．The tobacco industry makes high-quality advertisement for smoking．

　　What does it mean to be on a team? This issue has come up recently because I played my first round of sport 　　1　　 Saturday morning．

　　A “　　2　　” is a funny thing．Whether you are playing sports or completing a project, teams and teamwork are usually essential 　　3　　 success．There is a phrase in English that says, “There is no ‘I ’ in team．” It means that there are 　　4　　 individuals on a team; 　　5　　 there is the team(it does this by explaining that the letter ‘ I’ is not in the word “team”)．This is 　　6　　 our coach said to us on Saturday, 　　7　　(suggest)that we all work together to win．

　　“I runned, I swinged and I slided” is how a four-year-old boy might explain his day in the park．The mistakes he makes show he is on his way to knowing the rules of his language．He already knows that you add “ed” to words when you talk about something you did in the past．What he doesn’t know is that the rules do not apply to all verbs．

　　In another year, these childhood language mistakes will disappear．By the age of five, most children can express their thoughts in words．Their thinking may go faster than their mouths at times! This will make them stop and start, repeat what they say, and pause between sentences．

　　Adults change the way they speak when they talk to small children．They use the words the child uses．They also react to what children mean, not what they say．For example, a child may say, “I want to carry you” in stead of “________．”The parent will often respond by correcting the mistake and saying, “You want me to carry you．”The child knows the parent understands and at the same time is told the correct way to say the sentence．Parents can help children learn language．They can ask children what they are doing or thinking．They can help children with the names of things and tell them what words mean．It does not help to make children repeat what they said in the correct way as children will not see that a mistake has been made．It is better for you to repeat the sentence using the correct words．
