【推荐1】Have you ever smoked? Do you think it's good to smoke for kids? These kids made the right choice, and we should learn from their stories.

Kids around the world face the problem of smoking every day. Here are some stories of Chinese kids who made the right choice. Maybe we can learn something from them.

A 14-year-old boy named Wang Lin, in Taiyuan, Shanxi said, "I tried a cigarette once with a few friends. We all did it together only because we wanted to know what will smoking be like. We didn't want it to become a habit, we just wanted to see why everyone wanted to do it so much. I'm happy I tried it, because it killed my curiosity(好奇心) right away. I coughed a lot, my throat(喉咙) burned, and I felt dizzy (眩晕). I hated every part of it, and I knew it was something I should never do again."

"I never thought about smoking before. None of my friends smoke. And I thought no one in my family smoked, either." said Li Yang, a 11-year-old boy from Shenzhen. "But I smoked once, it was just a lesson from my father. One day, he opened a pack of cigarettes and gave me one. He asked if I had ever thought about smoking. I told him yes. He asked me why. I said something about how smoking is cool. He lit(点燃) the cigarette and told me to smoke it. I tried and began to cough right away. He put his hand on my back and told me if I ever smoked again. I would smell bad, my teeth would be ugly and I would cough. And if I was with my friends, they would think I was stupid. I never forgot that day, and I never wanted to smoke again."

Zhao Bing who is two years older than Li Yang and lived in Shijiazhuang said, "I hate smoking! Because my father died of smoking. He smoked too much that he got the lung cancer. He passed away when he was only fifty-four years. My mother was so sad that she told me never to smoke. And I said yes to her! I know, I will keep my words all my life."

【推荐2】No one knows exactly how many disabled people there are in the world, but estimates （估计）suggest the figure is over 450 million. The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada.

In the United Kingdom, about one in ten people have some disability. Disability is not just something that happens to other people: as we get older, many of us will become less mobile, hard of hearing or have falling eyesight.

Disablement can take many forms and occur at any time of life. Some people are born with disabilities. Many others become disabled as they get older. There are many progressive disabling diseases. The longer time goes on, the worse they become. Some people are disabled in accidents. Many others may have a period of disability in the form of a mental illness. All are affected by people's attitude towards them.

Disabled people face many physical problems. Next time you go shopping or to work or to visit friends, imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps, or onto buses and trains. How would you cope if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic? But there are other problems: prejudice (偏见) can be even harder to break down and ignorance is undoubtedly the greatest problems of all. It is almost impossible for the normal people to fully appreciate what the severely（严重） disabled go through, so it is important to draw attention to these problems and show that it is the individual person and their ability that count, not their disability.

【推荐3】To encourage reading, a Chinese company placed over 10,000 books around the underground, in taxis and on planes in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. The activity got the support of many Chinese stars. The “book-dropping movement,” however, won little praise. Instead, the movement caused much criticism(批评).

Some books were left untouched. Around the underground, passengers thought the books were left there to save the seats. Some books were taken away by cleaners. People also complained that they couldn’t get to the books—the trains and buses were too crowded.

The movement led to a hot debate.

Most people thought it could do little to encourage reading. “I think the best result is that people take photos when they pick up the books and write a post in WeChat. After that, they will just bring the books back home and place them on their bookshelves,” wrote one Weibo user.

Some pointed out that, the Chinese stars who supported the movement didn’t seem to be reading much. Isn’t it embarrassing(尴尬) that the movement is supported by stars who don’t read a lot?

Murong Xuecun is a famous Chinese writer. He thought the book-sharing movement was not at all a bad thing. “In the past years, the Chinese economy(经济) has been developing rapidly. Everybody is busy with work. They don’t have time for reading,” said Murong. “However, just because Chinese people don’t read often, it doesn’t mean we should do nothing to encourage reading,” Murong added.

【推荐2】Taking away city's rubbish is big job. Every day trucks (卡车) come into a city to collect it. Most rubbish is made up of things we can't eat or use. If we keep these things, we would soon have a mountain of rubbish.

In some cities, the rubbish is collected and taken out of city to a dump (垃圾场). Often the city dump is placed where the ground is low or there is big hole. The kitchen rubbish is broken into small pieces and sent into the sewage system. The sewage system takes away the used water from washroom, bathtubs (浴缸) and other places.

To keep mice and flies away, some earth is used to cover the newly dumped rubbish. Later, grass may be planted on the rubbish-filled land. Finally, a house or a school may be built there, and then you'd never know that this had once been an old rubbish dump.

In other cities the rubbish is burnt in special places. The fire burns everything except the metal. Sometimes the metal can be used again in factories where things are made of metal. The food parts of rubbish are put in special piles where they slowly change into something called humus (腐殖质), which looks like black earth. It's rich with the kinds of things that feed plants and help them grow.
