Cindy, Jerry and Mary are giving their opinions(意见) about what a good friend should be like.
Cindy：I think a good friend should be honest. That is more important than any other thing and is where a real friendship starts. If a friend isn’t honest, he may lose his friends’trust.
Jerry：I think a good friend should be generous(慷慨的). Here “generous” doesn’t mean he has to give his friends his money or his clothes. It means he should share(分享) his ideas and feelings with his friends. In fact, his friends can know him better in this way.
Mary：In my opinion, a good friend should understand his friends. When there’s something wrong between him and his friends, he must put himself in his friends’place and think more for his friends.

The health risks of smoking are well known， but kids and teens continue to smoke． Many young people pick up the habit every year﹣in fact， 90% of all adult smokers started when they were kids．
You might wonder why people smoke at all． Many people start smoking when they are kids or teens and they try it for many reasons． Maybe all of their friends were doing it or they grew up in a house where all the adults smoked． On the other hand， kids started smoking in order to look cool， act older， lose weight， or feel independent．
But no matter why they started， many smokers （ men， women， boys or girls） wish they could stop． Stopping smoking is hard， though， because there is nicotine （尼古丁） in cigarettes （烟）． Someone can get addicted to（沉溺于） nicotine within days of first using it． When something is addictive， your body and mind will tell you that you need it to feel OK． If you don't get it， you might feel sick， stressed out， or get angry．
Stopping smoking mostly has two steps． The first step is to deal with your dependence on nicotine and the other is to break the habit of smoking． When you stop smoking， you may have to wait a few days or even weeks before the nicotine finally leaves your body．
Most importantly， we must make sure kids and teens understand the dangers of smoking as early as possible．

I arrived at the 57 thSt． Subway Station in New York City at about 10p． m． one evening on my way home． The platform （站台） is long and there weren't many people around． I could hear the weak sound of a violin． As I listened， it appeared to be coming from the other end of the station and it sounded like Mendelsohn's violin concerto（协奏曲） without the orchestra （乐队）． I took a walk along the platform until I reached where the sounds came front． There was a young man playing the concerto and playing very well too． A small crowd had been there to listen and had become so interested in the music that they were letting trains go without getting on them． More people came to listen as a few passengers got off each train． At the end of the piece there was a stormy cheer from the listeners and we all left some money for him． I wanted to hear more， so I asked him to play the Bruch concerto， which he did while I let several more trains go without me． I finally went home， feeling the pleasure of such music．

Dear Dr． Know，
My brother is going to be 11and I am 14． My brother and I always get into fights． Whenever he does something wrong like hitting me， messing my room or taking my toys， he never gets in trouble． But when I do this kind of things， I'm always groundedand it's not fair．
I tried talking to my parents about this and all they said was that they would try harder． However since they said this it has never happened． I don't know what to do． I sometimes just try to get on the computer and there he goes． He starts saying he wants to use the computer even though we have 3computers in the house． But all that my dad says is to get off only for 30minutes． I keep telling him that he can use the computer downstairs but he complains（ 抱怨） that he is too scared．
I've talked to my friends about this and they don't know what to say． I've tried talking to him and being nice to him but it didn't work． He just doesn't stop． He's making my life terrible! My dream is to have an understanding brother． What should I do for that？

In Britain，Boxing Day is usually celebrated on December 26th（61） This means it's not a working day in the whole of Britain．When Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday，the following Monday is the public holiday．
（62） One of the thoughts is that during the Middle Ages，when great sailing ships were setting off to discover new land，a Christmas Box was placed by a priest（神父） on each ship．Those sailors who wanted a safe return would drop money into the box．（63）
One more thought is about the"Alms Box"placed in every church on Christmas Day．Worshippers （做礼拜的人）put gifts for the poor into it．These boxes were always opened the day after Christmas．（64） Today，many businesses，organizations and families try to keep the traditional spirit of Boxing Day alive by giving away money to Food Banks，providing gifts for the poor，or helping families in need． （65）
A．That is why that day became known as Boxing Day．
B．It was sealed up （密封） and kept on board until the ship came home safely．
C．Like Christmas Day，Boxing Day is a public holiday．
D．Besides，spending time with family and shopping are necessary activities on Boxing Day now．
E．The exact origin （起源） of the holiday is unclear．
