Smoking is very popular among Chinese people. Nowadays, the number of smokers during teenagers is increasing. Some treat smoking as fashion and follow such bad behavior. Though many people have been educated the danger of smoking, they still do not fear it.
It is known to all that cancer has been the NO.1 killer and the researches found that smoking for a long time will be easy to get cancer. I remembered my hometown, where people smoked a lot, especially the old generation, and they formed this bad act when they were young. Then for a time, many people died of cancer. People started to worry and they found that these people were heavy smokers.
The sad thing is that many teenagers smoke at their young age, and they feel cool to do it. Some adults smoke to relieve their pressure. No matter what kind of reasons, the fact is that smoking not only hurt themselves, but also hurt other people, because we know that second hand smoke is harmful, too. For everybody’s health and to live a better life, smoking should be stopped.
It is a commonplace among moralists that you cannot get happiness by pursuing it。 This is only true if you pursue it unwisely。 Gamblers at Monte Carlo are pursuing money， and most of them lose it instead， but there are other ways of pursuing money， which often succeed。 So it is with happiness。 If you pursue it by means of drink， you are forgetting the hang-over。 Epicurus pursued it by living only in congenial society and eating only dry bread， supplemented by a little cheese on feast days。 His method proved successful in his case， but he was a valetudinarian， and most people would need something more vigorous。 For most people， the pursuit of happiness， unless supplemented in various ways， is too abstract and theoretical to be adequate as a personal rule of life。 But I think that whatever personal rule of life you may choose it should not， except in rare and heroic cases， be incompatible with happiness。
There are a great many people who have all the material conditions of happiness， i。e。 health and a sufficient income， and who， nevertheless， are profoundly unhappy。 In such cases it would seem as if the fault must lie with a wrong theory as to how to live。 In one sense， we may say that any theory as to how to live is wrong。 We imagine ourselves more different from the animals than we are。 Animals live on impulse， and are happy as long as external conditions are favorable。 If you have a cat it will enjoy life if it has food and warmth and opportunities for an occasional night on the tiles。 Your needs are more complex than those of your cat， but they still have their basis in instinct。 In civilized societies， especially in English-speaking societies， this is too apt to be forgotten。 People propose to themselves some one paramount objective， and restrain all impulses that do not minister to it。 A businessman may be so anxious to grow rich that to this end he sacrifices health and private affections。 When at last he has become rich， no pleasure remains to him except harrying other people by exhortations to imitate his noble example。 Many rich ladies， although nature has not endowed them with any spontaneous pleasure in literature or art， decide to be thought cultured， and spend boring hours learning the right thing to say about fashionable new books that are written to give delight， not to afford opportunities for dusty snobbism。
If you look around at the men and women whom you can call happy， you will see that they all have certain things in common。 The most important of these things is an activity which at most gradually builds up something that you are glad to see coming into existence。 Women who take an instinctive pleasure in their children can get this kind of satisfaction out of bringing up a family。 Artists and authors and men of science get happiness in this way if their own work seems good to them。 But there are many humbler forms of the same kind of pleasure。 Many men who spend their working life in the city devote their weekends to voluntary and unremunerated toil in their gardens， and when the spring comes， they experience all the joys of having created beauty。
it was army day. our class visited a signal company of the donghai sea the morning we started out very early. as soon as we got there, we were warmly received. then the commander showed us around the barracks. how surprised we were to see everything was clean and tidy! then we were led into a playground,where the soldiers had already been waiting for us.
we had a get-together there singing and dancing and playing games, and so pleased were we that we almost forgot the time. it was very late when we had lunch. after that we had to say goodbye to the soldiers. i would never forget that day.

I am a teenager myself at school and it is convenient for me to come into contact with others at the same age, for we are alway studying, playing and entertaining ourselves together.

Happiness islike a pebble dropped into a pool to set in motion an ever-widening circle ofripples. As Stevenson has said being happy is a duty.
There is noexact definition of the word happiness. Happy people are happy for all sorts ofreasons. The key is not wealth or physical well-being since we find beggarsinvalids and so-called failures who are extremely happy.
Being happy is asort of unexpected dividend. But staying happy is an accomplishment a triumphof soul and character. It is not selfish to strive for it. It is indeed aduty to ourselves and others.
Being unhappy islike an infectious disease. It causes people to shrink away from the soon finds himself alone miserable and embittered. There is however acure so simple as to seem at first glance ridiculous; if you don’t feelhappy pretend to be!
It works. Beforelong you will find that instead of repelling people you attract them. Youdiscover how deeply rewarding it is to be the center of wider and wider circlesof good will.
Then themake-believe becomes a reality. You possess the secret of peace of mind andcan forget yourself in being of service to others.
Being happyonce it is realized as a duty and established as a habit opens doors intounimaginable gardens thronged with grateful friends.
