US President Barack Obama may have just made life more difficult for cigarette smokers, but he still
smokes every now and then in secret.
Obama, who has publicly struggled to quit smoking, said he still hasn"t completely kicked the habit
even after signing a law this week that will set tough new rules for the tobacco industry.
"As a former smoker I constantly struggle with it. Have I fallen off the wagon sometimes? Yes. Am
I a daily smoker, a constant smoker? No," Obama said at a news conference.
" I don"t do it in front of my kids, I don"t do it in front of my family. I would say that I am 95 percent
cured, but there are times where I mess up," he said.
The new law gives the US Food and Drug Administration the power to strictly limit the making and
marketing of tobacco products.
At a White House signing ceremony Monday, Obama said he was among the nearly 90 percent of
smokers who took up the habit before their 18th birthday.
" Once you go down this path it"s something you continually struggle with, which is exactly why the
law we signed is so important because what we don"t want is kids going down that path in the first place," he said at the news conference.
Nearly 20 percent of Americans smoke and tobacco use kills about 440,000 people a year in the
United States due to cancer, heart disease, and other serious diseases.

for his perfect eight-for-eight record in predicting the results of matches.
The two-year-old octopus with possible supernatural powers turned into a worldwide celebrity for
accurately predicting the German team"s five World Cup wins as well as their two defeats. Paul also
tipped Spain to beat Netherlands in the final.
"We have had a lot of offers for Paul but he will definitely be staying with us and returning to his usual
job-making children smile," Sea Life spokeswoman Tanja Munzig in Oberhausen said after presenting
Pual with the World Cup replica.
There"s no rational(合理的)reasons why Paul always got it right. Bettors around the world made small
fortunes based on Paul"s guess, said Graham Sharpe, media relations director at William Hill in London. "I"ve seen a lot of things in my lifetime but this is the first time I"ve ever seen people making their picks
based on what an octopus tells them. We had people coming in saying they didn"t know how to place a
bet but heard about this German octopus and wanted to bet with him. It"s funny. But he kept getting it
right." said Sharpe.
Sharpe said that anyone who had placed a 10-pound accumulator bet(累计下注)on Paul"s prediction
from the start of the World Cup would have won 3,000 pounds($4,500)by the end of the tournament.
Paul"s home at Sea Life aquarium(水族馆)in Oberhausen has been crowded with visitors and media
from across Europe. Many networks broadcast his predicting live. Many networks broadcast his picks
live. Hundreds were on hand to watch the World Cup replica lowered into his tank on Monday, 12 July,
2010.

Sneakers of some kind are used by 6 who play tennis, basketball, and other sports. New design
has been made 7 for people who run slowly. But perhaps sneakers are 8 used by children in the
United States. In fact American children of 9 ages would much rather play in s
neakers than anything else, except perhaps 10 at all.
New York City once held a poetry contest (诗歌比赛) for children. The subject was only "sneaker".
Thousands of children sent in their 11 and praised the sneakers they love. One prize winner called

| Happiness is for everyone. You don"t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads in their free time. In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get a success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you. Happiness doesn"t mean money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something that can"t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋转的)door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you  get, you can be a happy and lucky person.1. When you do something wrong , people around you will . A. quarrel with you B. help you correct it C. do something wrong like you D. laugh at you 2. What will your friends say when you make great progress? A. Oh, so do I B. Congratulations! C. Good luck! D. Just so-so 3. The passage mainly tells us . A. parents always care for our life and health B. we"re not happy if we meet with difficulties  C. happiness is always around usD. life is colorful |
