         What would you do if a stranger gave you some medicine and it would keep you slim or help you do
    well in exams? Would you take it?
         Students at Shenzhen Luohu Foreign Language Middle School have learned to keep themselves safe
    by saying"no". In fact, what those strangers want to give them are drugs (毒品). Drugs are dangerous to
    your health!
         "Because teens don't know much about drugs, they might want to try them," said Zhang Dongsheng,
    the director of Shenzhen Drug Control Office.
         Now, many schools arrange courses or organize some activities to help students know about drugs.
         Liang, 16, was a good student before trying drugs. One day, some old friends told him it would be fun.
    After taking drugs only once, he found it very hard to stop. Liang began to spend all his time and money
    on drugs. Soon, he stopped going to school and started stealing. In the end, he was put in prison.
          In China, taking drugs is becoming a big problem for teens. According to a survey, about one million
    people in China were using illegal drugs last year, and 72% of them were young people. Worse still, there
    are about10,000 drug users under 16 now.
         Zhang has some good advice on staying clean. He said, "Drugs are dangerous. Never try them, even
    if you're curious! It is the most important for you to keep safe and healthy."

         In Britain, some people say they will do anything if a famous person they love asks them to. One in three
    people in Britain have a new kind of disease-they love a famous person too much.
         Some people love famous stars like Britney Spears, David Beckham or even Tony Blair. It is not just the
    young; grown-ups have the same problem. One in four people are so interested in their heroes that it affects
    their life.
         There are two ways of worshipping (崇拜) famous people. One way is just to follow them or talk about
    them with friends for fun. The other is a more serious way. People have very strong feelings for them and
    think they are their friends. People who do so for fun are found to be happier. But those who have strong
    feeling for a famous person are perhaps to feel more lonely and worried.
         "Worshipping famous people is not certainly a bad thing," Dr. John, an expert (专家) said,"But like many
    things, overdoing it may not always be good for you."
