One day, four lawyers were riding their horses along a country road. There had been a rain. Water was dripping(µÎ) from the trees, and the grass was wet. They rode slowly, talking and laughing. Suddenly they heard some noises from the tree above them. ¡°What is the matter?¡± asked the first lawyer. ¡°Oh, it¡¯s only some old birds!¡± said the second lawyer. ¡°The storm made one of the babies fall out of the nest. It is too young to fly, and the mother bird is very worried.¡± ¡°What a pity! It¡¯ll die down there in the grass,¡± said the third lawyer. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. It¡¯s only a bird,¡± said the second lawyer. Then they rode on, talking and laughing as before. But the fourth lawyer, whose name was Abraham Lincoln, stopped. He got down from his horse and took the little one in his big warm hands.

¡°Never mind, my little fellow,¡± said Mr. Lincoln. ¡°I will put you back in your little nest.¡± He climbed up the tree and put the bird softly into their warm little home. A few minutes later, Mr. Lincoln joined them again. His shoes were covered with mud and he was wet. Then the other three laughed at him.

Within a few short years, girls in Europe have become heavier smokers than boys, for reasons experts still fail to understand, according to a British study presented last week to an international conference on smoking.

Anti-smoking£¨·´ÎüÑÌ£© activists at the second ¡°Tobacco or Health¡± conference in the Canary Islands pointed out that while adults were giving up smoking in ever growing numbers, more and more young people were taking up the habits, particularly girls.

One 15-year-old in four is a regular smoker, according to a study made in 27 countries in Europe and the United States, Canada and Israel ---by Edinburgh University together with the World Health Organization.

In Western Europe, girls were more likely than boys to smoke in Germany or in England. One third of the girls were smokers compared to one in four boys. In Eastern Europe, the girls ¡°still fall behind¡± those in the Western Europe but were ¡°catching up¡± quickly, said the study.

The study dealt with the behavior of 15-year-old in seven European countries over the four-year period.

The percentages of young women smoking went from 17 percent to 36 percent in Austria, from 17 percent to 28 percent in Norway, from 21 percent to 28 percent in Hungary£¨ÐÙÑÀÀû£©.

Keeping a Diary in English

Our teacher asks us to keep a diary in English. I 1 doing so because I think keeping a diary in English is one of the effective ways to 2 our English writing ability.

Compared with 3 forms of writing, it is shorter and 4 less time. It can help us to 5 the habit of thinking in English. 6 we persist in(¼á³Ö) this practice, gradually we¡¯ll learn how to express ourselves in English. In keeping a diary in English, 7 can use the important phrases and sentences we¡¯ve 8 in or out of English classes to describe our 9 , and this way we can master and use freely 10 we¡¯ve learned, which will do good 11 us in English learning. But 12 we certainly run up against many difficulties. In the first place, it often happens that we have 13 finding proper words and phrases to give expression to our mind. Secondly, there 14 many idiomatic (¹ßÓõÄ) ways of saying things in Chinese. And it is extremely hard 15 us to put them into English properly.

As far as I am concerned, my suggestion is that we 16 always have a notebook and a Chinese-English dictionary within easy reach. Whenever 17 beats(Äѵ¹) us, we can first put it down in our notebook and then look it up in our dictionary. We can also t
