Giving up smoking will most likely add seven years to one’s life.  While many people try to give up and fail, it is not an impossible task.  Follow these five tips, and you will be well on your way to giving up smoking. 

71   . Success in all fields of life begins with firm determination.  If you are weak in willpower, you can never do anything.  However, if you make up your mind,  once and for all,  that you are giving up the habit,  you have made the first step towards success.

72.    If you sit around doing nothing, there is a higher chance that you will light up a cigarette and relax.  Fill your spare time with sports and energetic activities.  Try to feel how good it is to get your blood circulating and to breathe in air deeply.  If you are not the athletic type,  then walking will have the same benefit as other kinds of sports.

73.  If going to a bar means that you are going to have a drink and then light up, maybe it is better to avoid that place for the time being.  Once you have truly stopped smoking and you feel how good it is,  you can go anywhere else  But while you are in the transition phase,  it is better to carefully choose where you will spend your spare time.

74.   Whenever you get a desire to put a cigarette in your mouth,  replace it with something that will help you rather than harm you.  Drinking small amounts of water throughout the day is not only a good way to help you give up smoking,  but it is also a great way to stay healthy.  You should drink eight glasses of water per day,  if you can.  If you need to put something solid in your mouth,  then have a piece of fruit in place

75.   Tell people around you that you are giving up smoking for health reasons.  They are likely to support you and not to offer you cigarettes.  Your family and loved ones will similarly support your efforts and help you to avoid situations where you may feel you have to smoke because of social pressure.

E. Get support from your friends and family

F. Promise not to smoke

G Drink more water instead of smoking a cigarette

Will it matter if you don’t take your breakfast?

Recently a test was given in the United States. Those tested included people of different ages, from 12 to 83. During the experiment, these people were given all kinds of breakfasts, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Special tests were set up to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten a certain kind of breakfast. The results show that if a person eats a proper breakfast, he or she will work with better effect than if he or she has no breakfast.

This fact appears to be especially true if a person works with his brains, if a student eats fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen with more attention in class. Opposite to what many people believe, if you don’t eat breakfast, you will not lose weight. This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch, and end up gaining weight instead of losing. You will probably lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.

1.The results of the test show that ______

2.According to the passage, many people think that if you don’t eat breakfast, you will____.

3.We can infer from the passage that _____

It was  Monday.  Mrs Smith’s dog was hungry, but there was not any meat in the house.Considering that there was no better way,  Mrs. Smith took a piece of paper,  and wrote the following words on it “Give my dog half a pound of meat. ” Then she gave the paper to her dog and said gently:“  Take this to the butcher and he’s going to give you your lunch today.”

Holding the piece of paper in its mouth, the dog ran to the butcher’s. It gave the paper to the butcher. The butcher read it carefully, recognized that it was really the lady’s handwriting and soon did it as he was asked to. The dog was very happy, and ate the meat up at once.

At sunset, the dog came to the shop again. It gave the butcher a piece of paper again. After reading it. he gave it half a pound of meat once more.

The next day, the dog came again exactly at noon. And as usual, it brought a piece of paper in the mouth. This time, the butcher did not take a look at paper, and gave the dog its meat, for he had regarded the dog as one of his regular customers .

　However, the dog came again at four o’clock. And the same thing happened once again. At six o’clock,, it came for more meat, and brought with it a third piece of paper. The butcher felt a bit puzzled. He said to himself, “This is a small dog. Why does Mrs Smith feed it with so much meat today?”

Looking at the piece of paper, he found that there was a piece of blank paper. He laughed and phoned Mrs Smith.

1.The little dog went to the butcher’s _____ during the period.

2.The butcher didn’t give any meat to the dog ________.

3.From the story, we can reach a conclusion(结论) that the dog was ____.

4.At the end of the story, you’ll find _______.

Basic Math introduces students to the basic things of mathematics, as well as some easy methods of learning it. These 30 fantastic courses are designed to provide students with understanding of arithmetic and to prepare them for Algebra (代数) and beyond.

　　The lessons in Basic Math cover every basic field of arithmetic. They also look into exponents (指数), the order of operations, and square roots. In addition to that, students also discover how a particular mathematical topic relates to other branches , and how they can be used practically.

　　Basic Math starts from easier concepts and gradually moves on to the more troublesome ones.  The lectures offer students the chance to understand of mathematical knowledge that may have seemed so frightening. They also help students prepare for college mathematics and develop confidence in this amazing field of study.

　　With the help of these lectures, they will be able to clear away the mystery (神秘性) of mathematics and face their studies with more confidence than they ever imagined. Besides, they will strengthen their ability to accept new and exciting mathematical challenges.

　　Professor H. Siegel, honored by Kentucky Educational Television as "the best math teacher in America, " is a devoted teacher and has a gift for explaining mathematical concepts in clear and interesting ways. From the basic ideas to the more difficult problems, he is a master in making math lectures learner-friendlier and less frightening

　　With a PhD in Mathematics Education form Georgia State University, Dr. Siegel now teaches mathematics at Central Arizona College.

　　If the course fails to provide complete satisfaction to you, you can easily exchange it for any other course that we offer. Or you can get your money back.
