The tobacco used to make cigarettes was grown in what is now part of the United States. Christopher Columbus, who discovered America, saw the Indians smoking, and soon the dried leaves were transported to Europe where smoking began to catch on. In the late 1800s, the Turk(土耳其人) made cigarettes even popular.Cigarettes smoke contains at least two harmful substances, tar and nicotine. Tar, which forms as the tobacco burns, damages the lungs and therefore affects breathing. Nicotine, which is found in the leaves, causes the heart to beat faster and increases breathing rate.Smoking cigarettes is dangerous. The U.S. Public Health Service stated that cigarette smoking is the cause of lung cancers and several other deadly diseases. The U.S. government now requires that each package of cigarettes bear（带有）a special warning about the danger of smoking.41.

King, the family dog, was trying to pull her out of bed.Then she smelled smoke and heard the sound of fire from her parents room. Pearls screams awaked her mother， Fern and father, Howard, who had recently been in hospital for lung disease. Helping Howard to a first-floor window, Fern told him to climb out, then ran to her daughter. Still inside, King appeared at Pearls window, making squeaking (短促尖叫) sounds. When running toward Pearls bedroom, Fern realized her husband hadnt yet escaped. She made her way back through the smoke and flames, following Kings sound to where Howard lay semiconscious (半昏迷) on the floor. Fern helped him get outside. King came out only after both were safe. As day dawned, the Carlsons saw that Kings paws were badly burned, and his entire body was burned too. His chain collar had gotten so hot that it burned his throat, making it impossible for him to bark (叫) normally. Only after the seven-year-old dog refused food did they find pieces of wood in his mouth and realize that King, who slept outside, had bitten through a wood door to warn his family.45.

Most dont fully see this truth. Instead, they plain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that their difficulties stand for a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or upon their family, their class, or even their nation. What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is painful. Problems, depending on their nature, cause us sadness, loneliness, regret, anger or fear. These are unfortable feelings , often as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes an endless series of problems , life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy. Yet, it is in this whole of solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are the serious test that tells success from failure .When we desire to encourage the growth of the human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems just as in school we set problems for our children to solve. It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. As Benjamin Franklin said,“Those things that hurt, instruct(teach).” It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to wele the pain of problems.49.

Proverbs are popular around the world. Many proverbs give advice on how to live. Some proverbs are hundreds of years old, but they are still used today.For example, my son is just like his father in many ways. We often say the two of them prove the proverb that the apple does not fall far from the tree.My daughter is very short. She would like to be taller. But I tell her that good things e in small packages. Some valuable things are very small, like diamonds and other jewels. But I also tell my children that all that glitters is not gold. Something may look valuable, but may not really be valuable. Also, I tell them do not judge a book by its cover. You should not judge something only by its appearance.Sometimes I tell my children to cooperate to solve a problem. After all, two heads are better than one. But another proverb says too many cooks spoil （弄坏） the soup. If too many people try to do something, then the job will not be done well.I also tell my children that two wrongs do not make a right. You should not do something bad just because someone did the same to you.Some people are pessimists while other people are optimists（乐观派）. Pessimists always think about how bad things are or will be; optimists might say that every cloud has a silver lining（衬里） and they always look on the bright side. Other people are both pessimists and optimists. They hope for the best and prepare for the worst.来源:高&考%资(源#网.Some people often worry about what they will do in a situation that might happen in the future. We could tell them do not cross that bridge until you e to it.It is usually much better to prevent a problem from happening than to find ways to solve it. So we say an ounce（盎司） of prevention is worth a pound of cure.57. The author often forts（安慰） her daughter with the proverb that _.A. The apple doesnt fall far from the tree.B.
