It rose from 8 percent in 1982 to 24 percent in 1995. The statistics look quite disturbing and cause people to ask why.The factors for a great rise in teenage smoking are complex. Some attribute it to the increased standard of living which enables kids to have more pocket money, and others place the blame on cigarette advertising and the import of cigarettes, which give them easy access to Marlboros. Whatever the causes, only particular external circumstances have been examined. The factors, actually, are psychological as well as social. Most young people begin to smoke just out of curiosity, they have a strong desire to experience the pleasure of smoking which is forbidden to them. They also have a subconscious feeling that smoking will make them mature and tough and sophisticated. When they light up a cigarette, and produce puffs of smoke carelessly, they are under the illusion that they are grown-ups instead of kids and that they are admired rather than rejected by society.To help them get rid of such foolish ideas is the first step towards the effort to prevent children from starting to smoke, and then we may conduct a more extensive campaign to make them aware of the dreadful consequences of taking up the habit.2.

City Life and Suburban LifeIn recent years more and more homes are being pushed outwards as the activities of business, government and pleasure tend to be concentrated in the centers of the cities. Although most people are reluctant to move to the outskirts of the cities, I feel like living in the suburbs.It is true that the city can provide much convenience and entertainment, the very reason people can’t bear to part with city life. But the cost for the privilege of living in the city is also high.Just think of the places where we live, full of petrol fumes and toxic gases, torn by the roar of buses and lorries day and night, and thronged ceaselessly by great crowds. Besides, as the housing problem in the city get more serious, people have to pay high rents for very tiny flats whichI would certainly disdain to live in.In contrast,living near the countryside one can enjoy the clean atmosphere, the closeness to nature and the quiet, peaceful surroundings --- the essentials of a healthy life. Nothing can be compared, as the pace of modern lifeis getting quicker, with the first cock crow, the twittering of birds at dawn, and sight of the rising sun glinting on the trees and green fields. Although living in the suburbs you may suffer a little discomfort brought about by the necessity of traveling miles to work every day, it means nearly nothing when you think of the constant threat under which the city-dwellers live as the crime rate in most cities is higher.The new suburban life is fast becoming a predominant pattern of living in most cities; and with the improvement of traffic and the perfection of services, it will prove to hold great superiority over city life.4. A Five-Day WeekFor the first time in history, a five-day week was officially adopted across China in May, 1995. It has found an immediate welcome and much popularity ever since.Indeed, there are many obvious advantages to a five-day week. First, it contributes to the nation’s economy, Since many Chinese factories are overequipped and overstaffed, with more workers idle, two days off a week will greatly reduce inefficiency and waste. Second, the two-day weekend provides an individual with time and leisure for personality development. With it, he is able to pursue his intellectual interests and other personal hobbies, a thing he has long desired but found impossible in the past when he only had one day off in a week and had barely enough time to arrange the household. Third, families like a longer weekend. Parents can have more time to be together with their children, and families can travel far to some vacation spots.A five-day week benefits more than individually and economically, andwith the passage of time, it will show more profound significance.。
