All forms of tobacco — cigarettes, pipes, cigars, and smokeless tobacco — are dangerous. It doesn't help to substitute products that seem like they're better for you than regular cigarettes,such as filtered or low-tar cigarettes.
The only thing that really helps a person avoid the problems associated with smoking is staying smoke free. This isn't always easy, especially if everyone around you is smoking and offering you cigarettes. It may help to have your reasons for not smoking ready for times you may feel the pressure, such as “I just don't like it” or “I want to stay in shape for soccer (or football, basketball or other sport)”.
The good news for people who don't smoke or who want to quit is that studies show that the number of teens who smoke has dropped evidently. Today, about 23% of high school students smoke.
If you do smoke and want to quit, you have lots of information and support available. Different approaches to quitting work for different people. For some, quitting cold turkey is best. Others find that a slower approach is the way to go. Some people find that it helps to go to a support group especially for teens. These are sometimes sponsored by local hospitals or organizations like the American Cancer Society. The Internet offers a number of good resources to help people quit smoking.
When quitting, it can be helpful to realize that the first few days are the hardest. So don't give up. Some people find they have a few setbacks before they manage to quit for good.
Staying smoke free will give you a whole lot more of everything — more energy, better performance, better looks, more money in your pocket, and, in the long run, more life to live!

Feeling depressed Try laughing more. Some researchers think laughter just might be the best medicine, helping you feel better and putting that spring back in your step.
“I believe that if people can get more laughter in their lives, they are a lot better off,” says Steve Wilson, MA, CSP, a psychologist and laugh therapist(临床医学家). “They might be healthier too.”
We change physiologically when we laugh. We stretch muscles throughout our face and body, our pulse and blood pressure go up,and we breathe faster,sending more oxygen to our tissues.
People who believe in the benefits of laughter say it can be like a mild workout—and may offer some of the same advantages as a workout. “The effects of laughter and exercise are very similar,” says Wilson. “Combining laughter and movement, like waving your arms,is a great way to promote(提升) your heart rate.”
And laughter appears to burn calories, too. Maciej Buchowski,a researcher from Vanderbilt University, conducted a small study. It turned out that 10~15 minutes of laughter burned 50 calories.
While the results are interesting, don't be too hurried in carrying them out. One piece of chocolate has about 50 calories; at the rate of 50 calories per hour, losing one pound would require about 12 hours of concentrated laughter!
Yet researchers aren't sure if it's actually the act of laughing that makes people feel better. A good sense of humor, a positive attitude,and the support of friends and family might play a role, too.
“The definitive research into the potential (潜在的) health benefits of laughter just hasn't been done yet,”says Robert R. Provine, professor of psychology and neuro science at the University of Maryland.
But while we don't know for sure that laughter helps people feel better,it certainly isn't hurting.

A.Steve Wilson.
B.Maciej Buchowski.
C.Robert R. Provine.
D.Steve Wilson and Robert R. Provine.

A.job B.exercise
C.rest D.treatment
9.According to the passage, losing one pound means burning ________calories.
A.50 B.150
C.600 D.2,500

A.Waving your arms and laughing can promote your heart rate.
B.10~15 minutes of laughter has the same effect as eating a piece of chocolate.
C.A harmonious family might be good for your health too.
D.We know for sure that laughter does no harm to one's health.
