Jin Jing, a 27-year-old torchbearer(火炬手), is known as a “smiling angel in a
wheelchair(轮椅)”. Her right leg was cut off at the age of ten after a serious illness. She
became a disabled fencer (击剑手) in July , 2001.
On April 7, 2008, when Jin was to begin her part of the Beijing Olympic torch relay in
Paris along the Seine River at 12:30 pm local time, several “Tibet independence”
activists(藏独分子) rushed to her. A man tried to take the torch away from Jin before he was caught by French police. During the attack, Jin protected the torch with her body not to let go of it.
For her braveness, she became famous as the “most beautiful torchbearer” among the Chinese public almost immediately. But she said she didn’t do anything great and any Chinese and Olympic torchbearers would protect the torch in such a situation.
Recently she has received a late official(官方的) greeting from the French Government. The president of France even invited her to visit France again in the near future. In a telephone interview, she said she felt the sincerity(真诚) of French leaders.

There is an English saying :“laughter is best medicine .”Until recent ly ,few people took the saying seriously .Now however ,doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body .They have found that laughter really can improve people’s health .
Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body .People watched funny films while doctors checked their hearts ,blood pressure ,breathing and muscles .It was found that laughter had similar effects to physical exercise .It increases blood pressure ,the heart beating and breathing ; it also works several groups of muscles in the face ,the stomach ,and even the feet .If laughter exercises the body ,it must be beneficial .
Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body .In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programmes .The group that tolerated(忍耐)the pain for the longest time was the groups which listened to a funny programme .The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemicals in the brain which diminish both stress and pain .
As a result of these discoveries ,some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics ,in which they help to improve their patients’ condition by encouraging the m to laugh .They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing ,making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter .

Ban Smoking in public places?
Smoking bans can be seen in public places in many countries. Our class had a heated discussion on banning smoking in public places. Opinions fall into two.
Some students agree that smoking is dangerous, Not only does smoking harm smokers themselves but also harm the people around them. Bans in public places would also urge smokers to smoke less or give it up.
However, Others hold an opposite view. They believe that it’s legal to smoke and smokers should have the freedom and right to smoke in any place they like. Besides, bans on smoking in public places would drive many bars, pubs or clubs out of business. What’s worse, many people will be out of job because of this.。
