In the USA, some health officials (官员) say that e-cigarettes can be a problem. More and more American people fall ill because of e-cigarettes. These officials say that they know about 450 people. They were all ill because of e-cigarettes. Five of these people even lost their lives.
These officials do not know what kind of chemical is in e-cigarettes. That is to say, they do not know what is making people ill. In the USA, some people buy e-cigarettes every day. These people don’t buy e-cigarettes from stores, and they buy them from the streets. The officials say that it is better to use products from stores, not from the streets.
Smoking is bad for our health, so we have to stay away from it. It can make our family unhealthy, too. So if people want them and their family to stay healthy, they must give up smoking. They should force themselves to stay away from cigarettes and e-cigarettes, because both of them do harm to people. Teachers should do something to tell their students about the harm of smoking. What’s more, someone advises people not to sell cigarettes and e-cigarettes.

4 . Think about a world without insects. It might sound nice at first. There would be no annoying bugs or flies in your room. But in fact, this could be really bad news.
The number of insects has dropped a lot in recent years, according to British biologist Dave Goulson. “In the 27 years from 1989 to 2016, the number of insects fell by 75 percent, ” Goulson wrote.
Scientists say the main reason for this is the use of pesticides(农药). They destroy the places that insects live in. What would happen without insects? It’s almost impossible to predict, but the results would be far-reaching. We need insects to pollinate(授粉) crops. They also break down dead plants and animals and turn them into new useful things. We need them to keep the soil healthy and do much more. Without insects, many animals would have nothing to eat. They would go hungry and die. The ecosystem would be not balance.
The first step to stop this is to let more people understand “the values of the natural world, both for what it does for us and for its own sake, ” Goulson said. “The best place to start is with our children. We should encourage environmental awareness from an early age.”

9 . In most of the Western countries, it is widely known that pink or purple is for girls while blue or brown is for boys. Why? The answer largely depends on cultural values as well as personal experiences. And people’s choices of colors are also influenced by their bodies’ reactions (反应) to them.
For example, green is usually said to be the most restful color among the family of color. Scientists believe it has the ability to lessen (减少) people’s pain and is able to relax people when they are tired. And people working in green environment have been found to have fewer stomachaches. Most Egyptians consider green as a color that stands for hope and joy of spring. So, don’t be surprised when you see too much green in Egypt.
Red has also been noted for thousands of years. It is a symbol of good luck or energy in many cultures for long. In China, during the Spring Festival, children are given money in a red envelope (信封) to bring luck in the coming year. Red can also cause a person’s appetite (胃口). Have you ever noticed that there are many different red things in the restaurant? For the same reason, many shopping websites will have a red “Buy Now” button because red is a color which easily catches a person’s eye and causes the interest in buying.
Blue, for many nations, means protection and belief. Greeks wear blue necklaces, hoping to protect them from bad things. And, opposite to red, blue is another calming color. Unlike red, blue is believed to cause people to lose appetite. So when you mean to eat less, maybe it helps to eat on blue plates.
