She said to them, “Now I have a brother in Los Angeles. If I was calling him on the phone and at the same time you were 75 feet away, listening to me from across the street, which of you would hear wha t I said earlier, my brother or you and for what reason?” Tom at once answered, “Your brother. Because electricity travels faster than sound waves.” “That’s very good,” Miss Gorgers answered; but then one of the girls raised her hand, and Miss Gorgers said. “Yes, Kate.” “I disagree,” Kate said. “Your brother would hear you earlier because when it’s 11 o’clock here it’s only 8 o’clock in Los Angeles.”1.

For more than five years we’ve worked to stop our children from smoking before they start, launching a nationwide campaign（战役） to educate them about the dangers of smoking, to reduce their access to tobacco products, and to severely restrict（限制）tobacco companies from advertising to young people. If we do these, we’ll cut teen smoking by almost half ove r the next five years .That means if we act now, we have it in our power to stop 3 million children from smoking and to save a million lives as a result.9.

My grandparents were coming by plane to hear me play. Even my busy Aunt Dianne, who is on TV every night reading the news, was coming.But one thing was for sure. I would never win an award for my piano playing. And that’s just because the more I practiced, the more nervous I got. So there I was, on stage, in my beautiful dress, and I sat down at the piano. But when I started to play, I hit a wrong note. I told myself t o start over. But then I hit the wrong note again. It was as if I hadn’t practiced at all.Finally the disaster was over. I ran off the stage. I couldn’t understand why people were applauding (鼓掌). But they were. My mom and dad had flowers for me, and we were all supposed to go out for a nice dinner, but I couldn’t. I just wanted to go home and cry and never go anywhereagain. After we went back home, Aunt Dianne just came in and sat down on the side of my bed.“It was my first night on the air，”she said. “I had never been on television before, and I made a mistake. I mispronounced my name and the name of the news show. And you know what? No one even noticed but me. Just like tonight, no onenoticed－just you.” Aunt Dianne was right.I think we are harder on ourselves than anyone else is. Maybe I will leave my room. And maybe, I’ll play the piano again.12.
