     Each year, a half-million people die from smoking in China which in 1990 overtook the United States
in the number of such deaths. And by the year 2025, 2 million Chinese will die each year from smoking
and related diseases, Professor Wang said when he talked about a report from the World Health
Organization.
     With westerners increasingly (日益)dropping the habit, the smoking population in China is on a
constant increase. "In 1964 the smoking population in America was 54 percent, which dropped to 26
percent by the year 1996," Wang said smoking has become a popular game, especially among young
people and women. Wang pointed out that women are more and more the targets (目标) of tobacco
selling. "As China sees repaid changes in women's role (角色), smoking among women is increasing,
with most new smokers being educated women."
     Wang said that in countries such as the United States and Britain where female smoking was popular
long ago, there were more lung cancers caused by smoking than breast cancers (乳腺癌), becoming the
largest cancer-killer of women.
     "At present only some 8 percent of Chinese women smoke, which has kept the total smoking
population below 40 percent. If women in China insist on demanding the same rights as men, the figure
will at least double in the present one." Wang said.

Dear Reader,
Imagine an 11-year old girl whose days are often spent washing clothes, looking after a baby, working hard in the field.
Imagine a little girl who knows there will not be enough food for dinner, who can’t fill her stomach with water because it’s polluted, and who has watched life slip away from her father, little brother and sister because the family is too poor to see a doctor.
Is it hard to believe? For Maria Pastora, these are the real life.
Maria would gladly walk miles to school, but her mother, now alone, needs her badly at home. If Maria grows up without any schooling, what will be her future?
But for just 52 pennies a day, you can sponsor a child like Maria. Through “Save the Children”, you can help Maria’s mother get the tools and ways she needs to turn their poor food into a good dinner and the money she needs to buy clothes and school things for Maria.
To help Maria most, your money is put together with that of other sponsors, so hard-working people can help themselves. Build a school, a hospital…bring in clean water. This is what “Save the Children” has been about since 1932.
For you there are many rewards. Have the chance to write to or hear from your sponsored child. Receive photos or progress reports. Know you are reaching out to another person. Not with a handout(施舍物), but a “handup”. That’s how “Save the Children” works. But without you, it can’t work. Please take a moment now to fill in and post the form below to help a child like Maria and her village.
