A
A recent survey showed that only 9 percent of teens in the United States smoke cigarettes. That’s down from 23 percent in 2000.While this is good news for the US's overall health, tobacco(烟草)use is still a problem.
Cigarettes can cause many diseases, such as cancer, lung diseases and heart problems. Although they know about the health problems, teenagers still smoke. So the campaign of the US Anti-smoking Organization is working to end teenage smoking. Their latest activity uses social media to remind teenagers of the dangers of smoking. And the activity also encourages teens to learn the facts and become the generation that ends smoking.
However, anti-smoking campaigns may have a new problem to worry about. According to a 2013 report, the use of electronic cigarettes is on the rise. American high school students who reported having used an electronic cigarette rose from 4.7 percent in 2011 to 10 percent in 2012. The increased use of e-cigarettes by teens is deeply troubling. It may become lifelong addicted(上瘾). Besides, we still don’t yet understand the long-term effects(作用)of e-cigarettes.

When he was small, Hill was a famous bad boy.
At the age of 9, his father married his stepmother. At that time they lived poor in the countryside while his stepmother was from a wealthy family.
His father introduced Hill to his stepmother as he said, “Dear, I hope you notice this is the worst boy, who has made me have no other way. Maybe before tomorrow morning he will throw a stone at you, or do a bad thing you will never imagine.”
To Hill's surprise, his stepmother went up to him with a smile, held up his head and looked at him carefully. She then turned around to tell her husband, “You’re wrong. He is not the worst boy, but the cleverest and creative boy. Only he doesn’t find a place to show himself. ”
His stepmother’s words warmed his heart, his eyes full of tears. With this, he started building friendship with his stepmother. And this became the drive of his life, making him create 28 successful golden rules, which helped tens of thousands of ordinary people walk on the road to success.
Before his stepmother came, no one praised him smart, and his father and neighbors considered him as a bad boy. However, his stepmother’s words changed his life.

The strength from his stepmother made him a rich man and famous writer in the United States and one of the most important persons in the 20th century.
