      Miss Gogers taught physicsin a New York school. Last month she explained to one of her classes
about sound, and she decided to test them to see how successful she had been in her explanation. She
said to them, "Now I have a brother in Los Angeles. If I was calling him on the phone and at the same
time you were 75 feet away, listening to me from across the street, which of you would hear what I said
earlier, my brother or you and for what reason?"
     Tom at once answered, "Your brother. Because electricity travels faster than sound waves." "That's
every good," Miss Gogers answered; but then one of the girls raised her hand, and Miss Gogers said.
"Yes, Kate."
     "I disagree," Kate said. "Your brother would hear you earlier because when it's 11 o'clock here it's
only 8 o'clock in Los Angeles."

　　Mis. Harris, an old patient in a nursing home, sat all day in a chair. She did nothing else. She needed complete physical care, even feeding. No one seemed to realize that, as a matter of fact, she was only half deaf and blind. One day, a young doctor saw cataracts (白內(nèi)障) in both her eyes. He discovered that if he spoke close in her ear, she seemed to respond. One eye of hers was operated on, and when it was first uncovered, the old woman cried with joy. Her sight was getting well a- gain quickly and she soon became quite independent. She started feeding herself and began smiling and talking to others. The change in her attitude towards life was wonderful. Not only did she need less nursing care, but she was also able to help other patients. She was again able to see and with this to get some hearing back .

　　“Smoking is bad for the nation’s health．”The plain truth, proved by ever-increasing medical truth, repeated by health authorities, and printed on cigarette packages, has failed to prevent our innocent youth from smoking．

　　Many young smokers light up their first cigarette in the mistaken belief that puffing away(吹出氣)at a cigarette is cool．

　　Anti-smoking supporters here in China must envy their counterparts(極相似的人)in France．To help implement a nationwide smoking ban coming into force there on Thursday, 175 000 special inspectors(巡視員)and members of the police force will be sent to patrol public places．

　　When people foolishly believe smoking is cool, it is of little use telling them to stop．What the French did, just like what has been done in our Special Administrative Region of Hong Kong, is a good way to drive home the message that smoking kills．The forceful bans in both Hong Kong and France actually make smoking in public impolite．

　　We cannot expect the same to happen here anytime soon．Not until our country gives up the high profits from tobacco．
