Smoking, which may be a pleasure for some people, is a serious reason of discomfort for their fellows. Medical scientists have expressed their concern about the effect of smoking on the health not only of those who somke , but also of those who do not. In fact, nonsmokers who take in the air polluted by tobacco smoke suffer more than the smokers themselves.
A great number of students have joined in an effort to persuade the university to forbid smoking in classrooms. I believe they are completely right in their aim. However, I think it is more important to achieve this by calling on the smokers to use good judgement and to show concern for others.
Smoking is not allowed in theatres, cinemas, and other public places, therefore, smoking must be forbidden in our classrooms.

Every year there are hundreds of earthquakes in different parts of the world.In Sept.1923,Tokyo and Yokohama were both destroyed by an earthquake. They had to be completely rebuilt.One of the most serious earthquakes was in China's Shanxi Province in 1556.It killed almost one million people.
We measure an earthquake's strength on the Richter Scale. The Richter Scale was introduced in 1935 in Southern California in the USA. It measures earthquakes on a scale of one to ten. Any earthquake measuring five or more is usually serious.
The earth's crust(地壳) is made up of layers of rock called plates. As these plates move,they sometimes crash against each other, causing the crust to quake. In cities such as Tokyo, where small quakes occur quite often..
Earthquakes can also break up gas and oil pipes. This can cause fires to break out, which can do as much damage as the earthquake itself.
Another effect of earthquakes is Tsunamis(海啸). These are huge waves created by earthquakes beneath the sea. They can be many meters high and cause great damage to coastal towns and cities.
China,Japan,Russia and America have the highest occurrence of earthquakes in the world.

The famous director of a big and expensive movie planned to film a beautiful sunset over the ocean, so that the audiences could see his hero and heroine in front of it at the end of the film as they said goodbye to each other for ever. He sent his camera crew out one evening to film
the sunset for him.
The next morning he said to the men," Have you provided me with that sunset?" "No, sir." The
men answered. The director was angry, "Why not?" he asked."Well, sir," one of the men answered, "We're on the east coast here, and the sunsets in the west.We can get you a sunrise over the sea, if necessary, but not a sunset."
"But I want a sunset!" the director shouted, "Go to the airport, take the next flight to the west coast, and get one." But then a young secretary had an idea," Why don't you photograph sunrise?" She suggested,"And then play it backwards? Then it'll look like a sunset."
"That's a very good idea!" the director said. Then he turned to the camera crew and said,"Tomorrow morning I want you to get me a beautiful sunrise over the sea."
The camera crew went out early the next morning and filmed a bright sunrise over the beach in the middle of a beautiful bay. Then at nine o'clock they took it to the director ."Here it is,sir." they said, and gave it to him. He was very pleased.
They all went into the studio, "All right," the director explained, "Now our hero and heroine are
going to say goodbye. Run the film backwards so that we can see the 'sunset' behind them."

The Europeans who left their homeland in the 18th century and settled their homes in North
America are referred to as early settlers. Early settlers who came from the eastern parts of the present U.S.A. were used to having many trees around, so they found it rather hard to get used to living in a treeless place like the state of Nebraska. When they first settled down in Nebraska they needed large quantities of wood for building houses,making fires and doing many other things.Therefore, they started many tree-planting plans that went on for years and years. Finally in 1872,a newspaperman named J. Sterling Morton had an idea: why not have a special day set aside for planting trees? So Arbor Day was born on April 10th,1872, and the first Arbor Day was celebrated. The state government announced that it would give prizes to individuals(个人)and groups that planted the most trees. On that first day, more than 1,000,000 trees were planted in Nebraska. In this way Nebraska has been afforested, and it's green all the year around.
