A recent study found that only 9% of teenagers in the United States smoke cigarettes．That's down from 23% in 2000．While this is good news for health，smoking is still a problem．
Cigarettes have been linked to cancer，lung disease，heart conditions，and high blood pressure．Although teenagers know these bad effects，they still smoke．Every day almost 3，900 children under 18 years of age try their first smokers．If it continues like this，5.8 million children alive today will die as a result of smoking．
The campaign（運動） is working to end teenagers smoking．It uses social media to spread information about the dangers of smoking． "If we all join force---smokers and non-smokers---we can end smoking once and for all，" the campaign leader says．The campaign encourages teenagers not to judge，but instead to learn the facts． "We're not here to comment your choices，or tell you not to smoke．We're here to arm everyone with the tools to make a change，" they say．
Anti-smoking campaigns may have a new problem to worry about．A 2013 report found that the use of electronic cigarettes is on the rise．High school students who reported ever using an electronic cigarette rose from 4.7% in 2011 to 10% in 2012． 'The increased use of e-cigarettes by teenagers is deeply troubling．Scientists are still researching exactly how harmful e-cigarettes are．
Harmful effects of smoking do not end with the smoker．About 88 million non-smoking Americans，including 54% of children between the ages of 3 and 11，are uncovered to second-hand smoke．Even brief exposure can be dangerous．
Anti-smoking campaigns have become more popular．Some colleges and other outdoor areas across the country haven't allowed smoking altogether．
As of October 27，21，615 children and teenagers have joined the Truth campaign and promised not to smoke．The group hopes that they can give young people the knowledge to be the generation（一代） that ends smoking．

1．How to prepare for the first time at everything？The following ways may help you.
Never try to be perfect.
It's true that you can hardly manage to do something perfectly the first time you do it.So when you do something for the first time，it is time to just have a try and never think about the result.Also，being perfect is just another excuse to do things later，so trying to be perfect is just a waste of time.
Forget what others think.
In order to make you feel less stressed about your first time，just forget what others are thinking of you.First，many people don't really care that much if you happen to fail at something.Second，remember that others have also started from "zero"as well.Third，focus on your own performance，not on others. .
The time you spend doesn't matter.
One common characteristic of doing something for the first time is that more time is spent.Just be slow and try to learn as much as possible.You will realize that the second time is much easier，since you already have some experience in your pocket.
Plan and prepare.
If possible，try to plan and prepare as much as possible before doing something new.You will gain more self-confidence in this way，and by planning and preparing，you actually may control things well.
Prepare for the second time.
Once you have gone through your "first time experience"，you'll have broken the biggest barrier of all.The excitement and fear is most likely gone and the next time won't be that scary anymore.So you just get ready for the second time.

2．Each of us has dreams and goals for our future.What makes us study and make progress each day is closely connected with our personal dream and goal.
But why do you have dreams and goals，you still end up with nothing？What separates successful people from the dreamers is their persistent（鍥而不舍的） action.When you learn your lessons at school，you must work hard and not give up.You will often find some of your lessons very hard.Try and keep trying，and you'll be sure to successfully deal with any difficulty you meet with.If we have a hard lesson today，let us try our best to learn it well and then we shall be prepared for a harder one tomorrow.
This is the famous formula（公式） for success：
Dream＞ Believe＞ Achieve
Most people have what they want（Dream） and think they can realize their dreams（Believe）.And then they do nothing.They just imagine their dreams can come true.When they get tired and lose a lot，they say angrily how terrible their life is.
I personally believe that if you really want to achieve your dreams and goals in life，you have to add one thing to your success formulas：
Dream＞ Believe＞ Act＞ Achieve
For me，act is the most important thing for success，and that's to take persistent action（Act）.If you say "I can't do it" and give up，you can never do anything valuable.However， "I'll try" creates wonders.Let's remember that there will be obstacles in our life.We must face them bravely and solve them.Success is not something that falls from the sky.Most successful people made their dreams come true because of their persistent action.
Please remember：Action is the bridge that connects our dreams and goals to reality.

3．A survey said the average Asian dad spent one minute a day with his children.I was shocked.I mean，a whole minute？Every day？Get real.Once a week maybe.The fact is，many Asian males are terrible at kid- related thjye.aigs.In fact，I am one of them.
Child- rearing° doesn't come naturally to guys.My mother knew the names of our teachers，best friends and crushes.My dad was only vaguely aware there were short people sharing the apartment.My mother bought healthy fresh food at the market every day.My dad would only go shopping when there was nothing in the fridge except a jar of butter.Then he'd buy beer.My mother always knew the right questions to ask our teachers.My dad would ask my English teacher if she could get us a discount on school fees.My mother served kid food to kids.My dad added chili sauce to everything，including our baby food.
The truth is，mothers have superpowers.My son fell off a wall once and hurt himself all over.I demanded someone bring me a computer so I could google what to do.My wife ignored me and did some sort of chanting phrase such as "Mummy kiss it better，" and cured 17 separate injuries in less than 15 seconds.
Yes，mothers are incredible people，but they are not always correct.Yet honesty forces me to record the fact that mothers only know best 99.99 percent of the time.Here are some famous slip-ups.
The mother of Bill Gates： "If you're going to drop out of college and hang out with your stupid friends，don't come running to me when you find yourself penniless." The mother of Albert Einstein： "When you grow up，you'll find that sitting around thinking about the nature of time and space won't pay the grocery bills. "The mother of George W.Bush： "You'll never be like your dad，who became President of the United States and started his own war."
