But what if one or both of your parents smoke? You cant order your parents to stop smoking, but you can encourage them to quit. Here are some good reasons: smoking is bad for their health; smoking causes second-hand smoke which can damage every familys health; smoking will cause other troubles in the family. You can show articles about smoking to your parents and encourage them to find out more information about smoking. But what if your parents get angry with you because of the topic of smoking? People dont like to be reminded that they are doing something bad, so its possible your parentswill be angry. Remember to be kind, respect and understand your parents.

What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle. It needs exercise. Mental exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists (心理学家) think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to bee dull and unintelligent.Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children. According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive (helpful) things to their children, such as “That was a very clever thing you did.” or “You are such a smart child.”8. According to the context we can guess that a genius is _ while an idiot is _.A. a normal person; a funny personB. a strong person; a weak personC. a highly intelligent person; a foolish or weak-minded personD. a famous person; an ordinary person9. A person _ is more likely to bee a genius.A. whose parents are cleverB. often thinking about difficult problemsC. often helped by his parents and teachersD. born with a good brain and putting it into active use10. It is better for parents _.A. to praise and encourage their children more oftenB. to be hard on their childrenC. to leave their children alone with nothing to doD. to give their children as much help as possible11. Which of the following is NOT true according to the article?A. Parents play an important part in their childrens growth.B. The less you use your mind the duller you may bee.C. Intelligence is obviously the result of where and how you live.D. What makes a person bright or stupid is still under discussion.(D)Researcherscarriedoutaseriesofstudieswhichshowedthosewhocountedmoneybefore taking partinan experimentwheretheywouldacceptlowlevelsofpain felt lessdisfortthanthosewhodidnot.Handlingahandofcashmaybebetteratkillingpainthanaspirin,theirstudy suggests.Thestudyshowedthatcountingnotesandcoinshelpsto reducepainby improving feelingsofself-worthandself-satisfaction.Previous studies have shown those with a greater sense of self-worth may be more likely to bear pain. Britain spends at least 500 million a year on over-the-counter(非处方) painkilling pills and the figure is increasing every year. But scientists remain puzzled by why some people seem to feel pain more easily than others. In the latest study, a group of students were asked to count out a hand of cash consisting of 80 one-hundred dollar bills, or just 80 pieces of blank paper. They had been told that researchers were simply testing their dexterity(熟练) in handling the notes. Each volunteer was then asked to dip their hands into a bowl of very hot water, to see how painful they found it and how long they could last. The results, published in a recent edition of the journal Psychological Science, showed those who had counted money reported less pain and lasted longer. The results support other studies about how the brain can be used to reduce pain without the use of pills.AUniversityofLosAngelesteamofscientistsfoundjustlookingataphotographofalovedonecanalsobeapowerfulformofpainrelief.Theyremendedanyonevisitinghospitalfor painfultestsorexaminationsshouldbringapicturetohelpthemcope.Andpatientswhohavehadabigoperation,suchasakneeorehipreplacement,canreducehalftheamountofpainkillingmedicinetheyneedsimplybytouchingapet,accordingtotestsatLoyolaUniversityinChicago.12.
