2.ABC News anchor (節(jié)目主持人) Peter Jennings died on Aug.7,2005at home in New York after a brief battle with lung cancer.ABC News anchors said they hope if anything good can be taken from Jennings'death,it is a great awareness of the dangers of smoking.
"I want to give a message,"Barbara Walters said."If you have kids who are smoking,tell them that we lost Peter."
Lung cancer is the worst killer in America,taking more lives each year than any other cancer,according to the America Cancer Society.About 160,440Americans die each year of cancer,making up 28percent of all cancer deaths.More than 87percent of lung cancers are smoking related.
Dr.Derek Raghavan,director of the Cleveland Clinic's Taussing Cancer Center(陶西格癌癥中心),said that once a person stops smoking,he starts getting better.Three to five years after quitting,the possibility of getting lung cancer is reduced by half.
Warning signs of lung cancer can also be mixed with symptoms connected with long-term smoking.The three main warning signs are an increase of coughing that doesn't clear up,coughing up blood and sharp chest pains.
People with those symptoms should see a doctor.Raghavan said there have been promising developments in the treatment of lung cancer,including uses of radiation and surgery and drugs."But the fact is that stopping smoking is the most important thing we can do,"Raghavan said."There is no treatment that even comes close."

12.What can you do when you are unhappy?If you want to let out your anger or pressure by breaking things,you just do.Now a school in Nanjing has built a"stress wall"to help students who feel unhappy due to heavy schoolwork or for other reasons.
The leader of the school said the idea of a stress wall started when footprints were found on some newly painted walls and some school windows were broken.
"These things happen because some students feel lots of pressure from their studies or because they don't get along well with other students.When under stress,the body gets ready to either run or fight and becomes very nervous.Hitting the wall can help relax the body and take away stress,"he said.
"Tests and homework make me sad,"said a junior girl,"I can't wait to hit the wall.It will help me a lot with my problems."However,another girl student who wouldn't give her name said,"The wall won't help because it can't talk,"and she added,"I need to talk to someone when I'm sad."

13.Each year,more than 30,000 elephants are poached(偷獵)for their ivory.But recently,china-the world's largest market for ivory products-promised to end its sale of ivory.
"Ending legal sales of ivory in China is the greatest step to reduce elephant poaching in African,"says Peter Knights,CEO of the conservation group Wild-Aid."We praise China for its leadership."
   Chinese leaders say that the nation will gradually reduce its amount to zero.They are also encouraging other countries to follow China's lead by taking action against the illegal ivory trade.
   Africa once had as many as 3.5 million elephants.Today,only about 500,000 remain.Conservation experts say elephants could someday disappear entirely if the illegal ivory trade does not end.
   The international trade of ivory was banned in 1989.However,China has still allowed ivory to be sold.In addition,the US-the second-largest market for ivory-still allows the trade of ivory acquired before the ban.Europeans still support the ivory market by selling ivory from long ago.Many poachers are taking advantages of these rules.They are still illegally hunting elephants for ivory,but selling the ivory in legal markets.
  Last week,the US destroyed more than a ton of ivory in New York City's Time Square to show its commitment to ending the illegal ivory trade.China held a similar ivory-crushing event last month,and other countries have done the same in recent years.
  Some wildlife supporters say destroying ivory will reduce the supply of ivory,leading to more poaching.But organizers say the events will raise awareness of the illegal ivory trade and increase support for ending it.
"China,the US and the other major ivory-consuming countries hold the key to saving Africa's elephants,"says Ginette Hemley,senior vice president of Wildlife Conservation at the World Wildlife Fund.

11.Rene Laennec was a French doctor who learned to tap on people's chests to find out illness from an Austrian doctor named Leopold Auenbrugger.As a boy,Leopold used to tap wine(41)containers(contain) in his father's inn to see how much wine they held.A full one made(42)a  different sound from an empty one.When he became a doctor,he(43)tapped (tap)people's chests to see how much liquid was in their lungs.Laennec did the same and learned to tell by tapping carefully on a chest(44)whetherit was diseased or not.But he was even more interested(45)in diseases of the heart,and he wished that he could hear heartbeats clearly.In those days,a doctor would place his head on a patient's chest to listen,but if the patient was(46)extremely(extreme) fat it was impossible to hear any heartbeat at all.
One day when Laennec(47)was walking(walk) in the park,he saw some girls playing with a see-saw(蹺蹺板).One of them scratched the end of the board while the others placed their ears against the other end.On walking up,the doctor was asked why the sounds travelled along the wood."The sounds are magnified(放大),girls,er…"Suddenly he turned and rushed back to the hospital.Quickly(48)taking(take) some thick paper,he rolled it up like a tube and began listening to patients'chests.He heard the heartbeats and(49)their(they) breathing clearly.Laennec soon made a better instrument of wood,one he called a stethoscope(聽診器).Later,they(50)were made (make) of steel and rubber.
