| One day, when I was in high school, I saw a kid named Kyle from my class walking home from school with all his books, I thought to myself, " 1 would anyone bring home all his books for the weekend? He must really be 2 ." As I was walking, I saw several kids running toward him. They ran at him, 3 all his books out of his arms and he fell down in the dirt. His glasses went 4 and landed in the grass. He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes. My 5 went out to him. So, I ran over to him. 6 I handed him his glasses, he looked at me and said, "Hey, thanks!" There was a big smile on his face. I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. As it 7 , he lived near me. We talked all the way home. I didn't see him before as he had gone to a private school. Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends. Kyle was the 8 student of our class, one of those guys that really found themselves during high school. Therefore he had the 9 to prepare a 10 speech. On the graduation day, I could see that he was 11 . So, I patted him on the back and said, "Hey, big guy, you'll be 12 !" He looked at me and smiled. He cleared his throat, and began. "Graduation is a time to 13 those who helped you make it through those 14 years. Your parents, your teachers… but mostly your friends. I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best 15 you can give him." I just looked at my friend with 16 as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to 17 himself over the weekend and was carrying his books home. "Thankfully, nothing happened. My friend 18 me from doing the unspeakable." Not until that moment did I realize that you should never underestimate (低估) the 19 of your actions. With one small gesture you can 20 a person's life. For better or for worse. | ||||

 The first newspapers were written by hand and put up on walls in public place. The earliest daily newspaper was started in Rome in 59 BC. In the 700's the world's first printed newspaper was published. Europe didn't have a regularly published newspaper until 1609, when one was started in Germany. The first regularly published newspaper in the English language was printed in Amsterdam in 1620. In 1621, an English newspaper was started in London and was published once a week. The first daily English newspaper was the Daily Courant (每日新闻). It came out in March 1702. In 1690, Benjamin Harris printed the first American newspaper in Boston. But not long after it was first published, the government stopped the paper. In 1704, John Campbell started The Boston Newsletter (波士顿 新闻通讯), the first newspaper published in the American colonies. By 1760, the colonies had more than thirty daily newspapers. There are now about 1,800 daily papers in the United States. Today, as a group, English language newspapers have the largest circulation (发行量) in the world. But the largest circulation for a newspaper is that of the Japanese newspaper Asahi Dhimbun (朝日新闻).

| Astronauts aboard the space station celebrated a space first on Wednesday by drinking water that had been recycled from their urine (尿), sweat and water got from air. They said "cheers" to NASA workers on the ground. The urine recycling system is needed for astronaut stations on the moon and Mars. It also will save NASA money because it won't have to ship up as much water to the station by space shuttle or cargo rocket. Besides, it's important as the space station is about to expand (扩大) from three people living on board to six. The recycling system had been brought up to the space station last November, but it couldn't be used until samples (样品) were tested back on earth. So when it came time to actually drink up, NASA made a big deal of it. The three-man crew stood holding their drinks and congratulated engineers in two NASA centers that worked on the system. "This is something that had been the stuff of science fiction," American astronaut Michael Barratt said before taking a small mouthful. The taste is worth trying. The new system takes the combined urine of the crew from the toilet and moves it to a big tank, where the water is boiled off, and the vapor is collected. The rest of the urine is thrown away. Then the water vapor is mixed with water from air, and then it goes through filters (过滤器). When six crew members are aboard, it can make about six gallons from urine in about six hours. "Some people may find the idea of drinking recycled urine distasteful, but it is also done on earth, but with a lot longer time between urine and the tap," said Marybeth Edeen, the space station's national lab manager. The technology NASA developed for this system has already been used for quick water purification (净化) after the 2004 Asian tsunami. |

| Smoking is one of the worst things kids can do to their bodies. Every single day, about 4,000 kids between the ages of 12 and 17 start smoking. Most junior school students don't smoke-only about 1 in 10 does. Most senior school students don't smoke either-about 1 in 4 does. But why do those who smoke ever begin? There's more than just one simple answer. Some kids may start smoking just because they're curious. Others may like the idea of doing something that grown-ups don't want them to do. Still others might think smoking is a way to act or smoking makes them look like an adult. Luckily, fewer people are starting to smoke than a few years ago. Maybe that's because more and more people have learned that smoking can cause cancer and heart disease. Sometimes kids don't worry about what future illness they might get. Nicotine and other poisonous (有毒的) chemicals in tobacco cause lots of diseases, like heart problems and some kinds of cancer. If kids smoke, it will hurt their lungs and hearts each time they light up. It can also make it more difficult for blood to flow in the body, so smokers may feel tired. The longer they smoke, the worse the damage becomes. The human body is smart, and it knows when it's being poisoned. When kids try smoking for the first time, they often cough a lot and feel pain or burnt in their throats and lungs. This is their lungs' way of trying to protect them. Also, many kids say that they feel sick to their stomachs or even throw up (呕吐). | ||||||||
