     Although it's foolish to smoke, fifty million people in the United States still do that. Most of them
want to give up smoking, but smoking is a habit that is not easy to break. Luckily, thirty-five million
Americans have stopped it.
     Frank used to (过去常常) smoke a lot. He started to smoke when he was 16. Many of his friends
were doing it, and it made him feel like a grown-up. His parents told him that he was making a mistake,
but he didn't listen to them. When he joined the football team in the United States, he stopped smoking,
but then he started again.
     A month ago, he had a pain in his chest and stomach. "The pain isn't too bad. I'm sure it will go away
and I'll be fine. I probably eat too much," he told his wife, Helen. But it didn't go away and they both
began to worry. Frank called the doctor. The doctor told him that Helen should drive him to the hospital
right away. They examined his heart, took a chest X-ray, and kept him in the hospital overnight (一整夜).
      The next day his doctor read the X-ray report. He told Frank that he was okay, and that he could
be back to work after a few days' rest. But he advised him to stop smoking. Frank and Helen were very
happy. They were afraid that they were going to get bad news.
     Since Frank stopped smoking, he has been feeling better. He doesn't cough in the morning the way
he used to. His house and car don't have smell of smoke, and his wife and children are breathing cleaner
air.

你最好的朋友在哪些方面与过去有所不同?他/她是如何改变的?请仿照下文进行仿写
(字数50-70)。
     I used to be short and a little weak. As I often fell ill, I realized that I had to do something to change it.
So I began jogging, playing tennis with friends and doing other sports. Gradually I fell in love with sports
and my health condition has been improving all the time. Now I'm taller and stronger than most students in
my class and I'm on the school tennis team. So you see, people can surely change if they have the will and
the practice!

I usually get up at 5:00. I make coffee, go to my desk and work. When my boys get up, I’m theirs. I follow the min to the kitchen and make them breakfast. While they’re eating, I make their lunch, pick out their school clothes and get the little one dressed.
My wife takes them to school. I bring them home. I am not the only father at the school gate. The boys and I walk the 12 blocks home unless the weather is terrible. Then we take the subway. I remind them of looking out, like an animal looking after their babies.

I have made dinner. We sit down and eat together. After they do their homework, Karen takes them to bed. I listen to the noise of the boys’ and their mother’s voice.

The Greenest School in Britain
The pupils and teachers at Fairfield School think it's worth looking after the environment! This is what they've been doing:
Growing vegetables
Fairfield School pupils started their own vegetable garden. Both children and teachers plant and water the seeds ( 种子), then I hey pick the vegetables, which are used in school meals. Now they can all enjoy healthy food at lunchtime. "School dinners are tastier than ever before! " says one pupil.
Recycling
The Fairfield pupils don't just bring their books to school—they bring their rubbish too! There are recycling bins (回收箱 )in the playground for cans, plastic bottles, batteries and paper. The teachers give a prize every month to the pupil who's tried the hardest to recycle.
Planting trees
"This used to be one of the least beautiful areas of the city with no green areas, says the head teacher Lynne Johnson. "Now every child has planted their own tree, which he or she looks after during the week. They've made the view from the classroom more beautiful!
Finding cleaner ways to get around
Everyone walks or cycles to Fairfield School! "When the roads are busy, it’s faster to ride bikes than to go by car anyway,” says one pupil. Even the teachers don't use their cars. "We won't encourage our pupils to look after the environment if we don't do it ourselves! " says one teacher.
