【推荐1】Hundreds of thousands of puppies are born in puppy factories each year. Because the main purpose of the puppy factory is to make money, puppy factory owners don’t spend enough money on the dogs. To save money, they keep dogs in packed cages. The animals almost never get exercise or attention. Their cages are often dirty, with little protection from sun, wind or cold.
Many puppies born in puppy factories are taken away from their mothers before they are ready. Then they are shipped cross-country to be sold in pet shops. The moms left behind are then bred (繁殖) again to produce more puppies.
Many of the dogs born in puppy factories have serious health problems. Although the puppies may seem healthy, these problems can show up when they’re fully grown sometimes even sooner. Some of the puppies die within days or weeks of purchase (购买).
Kind kids and their families can help. In the future, don’t buy puppies from pet stores. Even if a pet store says that they don’t sell dogs from puppy factories, chances are they really do. And don’t trust newspaper or website ads made by people who sell puppies.
If your family is ready for a dog, your best choice is to adopt (收养) one from an animal shelter (收容所). Animal shelters have different kinds of dogs just waiting for homes. By doing this, you’re in the business of helping pets!

TV shows are like books or films. A child can learn both bad things and good things from them. Some programs help children better understand the world. Others introduce them to people and places from other countries or other times (时代) in history. With TV, a child does not have to go to the zoo to see animals or to the ocean to see a ship. Boys and girls can watch plays, concerts or sports games at home.
Television brings many places and events into our homes. Some programs show crimes (犯罪) and other things that children shouldn’t watch, so parents need to help their kids find other interesting things to do.

【推荐3】Smoking is a bad habit. It can cause serious health problems. My father used to be a heavy smoker. I was worried about his health very much, so I wanted him to give up smoking. I didn’t know what to do to help him. My uncle is a doctor and he gave me some suggestions.
Firstly, know the danger of smoking. I shared some harmful sides of smoking with my father. I told him how smoking could harm his health.
Secondly, be supportive (支持的). I let my father know that I was there for him and would help him give up smoking. I told him to take small steps to keep away from the bad habit.
Thirdly, give some choices. I asked my father to do something else when he wanted to smoke. For example, he could take a walk or have chewing gum (口香糖). I also told him that I would do these activities with him.
Finally, be patient (有耐心的). Giving up smoking is not easy and it needs time and a strong will. I tried to be patient with my father.
