Nagasaki University（N.U.）in Japan will no longer accept teachers who smoke. It wants to create a healthier environment for workers and students. The university’s president S. Kono said, “Our job is to look after our staff（职员）. We think we have to discourage them from smoking.” He added, “There will be no smoking anywhere in the university from August 2022.What’s more, staff and students can’t take cigarettes into any areas of the university from next year.”

Dogs can be good helpers to humans and what about monkeys？ They can do a great job，too． Monkeys can help disabled （有残疾的） people live a better life just as dogs do．
Like dogs，monkeys need lots of training to be human helpers． One difference is that monkeys live larger than does do． This means that a monkey's " childhood" is also longer than a dog's．So it may take them four to six years before they are ready to begin training．It's said that it is almost as much work a raising a young child!
After monkeys begin training，they usually take about a year to learn enough tasks to be good helper． One important thing that they need to learn is how to follow commands（命令）．
For example， if a person wants to have the lights turned on， he or she might give the command "sun"．As the monkeys get better at completing their tasks，they learn new and more difficult ones． Some monkeys can even learn how to use a computer!

When spring is in the air， everyone looks forward to seeing the beautiful and eye﹣pleasing flowers and plants． The following flowers and plants might not be so eye﹣pleasing， but are certainly eye﹣catching!
Lady's Slipper
This flower is amazing． It looks like a shoe． To be more exact， it is like a lady's slipper．That's how it gets its name． Although it was once found across Europe and the UK， now Lancashire in England is the only place where this plant can be found． The flower was so unusual that people picked almost all of them． Besides， it is one of the most difficult plants to grow． Fortunately， strict rules have been made to protect this endangered plant．
Hot Lips
When you see a plant like this， don't get shocked! No， they are not a woman's lips （唇）! You can find these plants in countries with tropical （热带的） rain forests， such as Colombia， Costa Rica and Panama． Because of the cutting down of trees， these unusual plants have become endangered．
Black Bat Flower
The black bat flower is an unusual flower that grows in the wild and tropical forests of Yunnan Province in China．It is famous for its bat﹣shaped black flowers．It needs special environmental conditions to grow．This is the reason why it is an endangered plant．

"Keep your eyes on your own paper" is one of the rules that Mrs． Archer has taught us． It is a simple rule， but it's not a rule everybody chooses to follow．
This morning， I had an experience with a "rule breaker" during an English exam． I felt somebody was watching me a little too closely． I turned my head quickly and saw James， who sat right behind me． My eyes caught his and he said in a low voice． "I hope you studied for this test!" I gave him a smile， not sure whether he was joking or not， and returned to my test． This time I leaned （倾身） a little more closely towards my paper， "I can't see!" James said．
"What am I going to do？" I thought to myself． Cheating （欺骗） went against my beliefs． I curled my arm around my answers．
"He's your friend，and what are friends for？"
"You know it's wrong．"
I tapped （轻敲，轻拍） the top of my desk， hoping for an easy way out of this matter． No easy answer came． I just knew I had to do what I felt was right， even if it made James mad． So I guarded my paper so that he couldn't see my answers．
When the exam ended， I stood there for a moment， searching for the right words to say to James． "Sorry， James， but you know me well enough to understand how I feel about cheating，" I said slowly and softly． "But maybe I could help you study before the next test．" "OK， Brian，" he smiled． "It might not be easy， but I'll give it a try．"

Hey， guys! I have a lot of things I don't need， so I'm thinking about having a yard sale． What do you think？

Thank you!

Having a yard sale is not easy． You have to collect things， put prices on them， put them out on tables and then wait for people to come． And usually you have to sell things at VERY low prices． For all that time and work， you make very little money． Why not just sell your things online for higher prices？ |
Debby's right． But I think it'd be even better to just give your things to people who need them． I just sent out a lot of things last week． |
Hey， I love yard sales! It's a great chance to make big money if you choose the right day． In my experience， Saturday is the best．
