从去年起在华东的安徽省至少有8个婴儿已经死亡。因饮用假奶粉他们患上了严重的营养缺乏症，从而导致了他们的死亡。
在阜阳另外还有100多个年龄多数在3 至5 个月之间的婴儿，在喝过由华北内蒙古自治区，中国东北黑龙江省和北京生产的不同种类的廉价奶粉之后，仍处于不良的营养状态。
这些婴儿受害者生下来时本是健康的，但是他们在喝过喂给他们的假奶粉之后变得越来越瘦，并且患上了大头病。
“我的女孩---我的第一个孩子，只有4 个月大的她，在喝过‘好宝贝’假奶粉之后，就死了，”阜阳王庄村的一名32岁的村民张林伟说。
张在半个月以前发现女儿不再想要喝奶粉之后，就生病了。
“在那之前，我原以为女儿的脸变得越来越胖，是因为她被喂得好，长得快的原因，”婴儿的父亲说。
这个女孩在被送到医院9 天之后死了，家里所有的积蓄都被花在她的药物治疗上了。
“这简直就像一场恶梦。 我做梦也没想到我的孩子会像这样去世，”他说。
张说他曾试图按照包装袋上提供的地址给奶粉生产商打电话喝写信，但是都未成功过。
“假奶粉只有5％-6％的蛋白质，最低的只有1％。 对婴儿来说，喝这样的假奶粉无异于饮水，”阜阳人民医院的一位医学专家张方均说。
“这样的所谓奶粉完全不能提供婴儿生长所需的任何营养，”张说。

Passage 2

 
Qiao is a sixth-grader at Yuhui Primary School. He is only 12 years old but has been smoking for three years. Liu, 15, is a Junior 2 student at Chicheng No 2 Middle School. He began smoking four years ago. "Smoking is part of my life," Liu said. Qiao and Liu are not those boys ' real names. But their problem, smoking, is a very real problem. In many countries, smoking is becoming a bigger problem for young people. Most smokers start in their teens (years of  a person's age from 13 to 19) or earlier.
A study of 8,000 Beijing students last May told us that smoking is a problem for many Chinese kids. More than 21% of middle school students and 6 % of primary school pupils said they smoked.
"If young people start smoking early, they will probably get addicted to nicotine .And it will be very hard to give up later on," said a professor.
Every year, about four million people die because of smoking. And if people keep smoking, that number will go up to about 10 million a year by 2030, the World Health Organization (WHO) says. So we have to learn and tell others about the dangers of smoking.

Translation                                                                    
乔是余晖小学的一名六年级的学生。他虽然只有12岁，但是吸烟却有3 年了。赤城2中15岁的刘，是一名初中二年级的学生。 他4 年以前就开始吸烟。 “吸烟是我的生活的一部分，”刘说。乔和刘都不是那些男孩的‘真实姓名’。但是他们的吸烟问题，却是一个非常真实的问题。 在很多国家，吸烟对于年轻人来说正成为一个更大的问题。大多数吸烟者在他们十几岁(从13岁到19岁的年龄)或者早就开始吸烟了。
去年5月一项对北京8，000个学生的调查显示吸烟是很多中国孩子的一个问题。21%以上的中学生和6％的小学生说他们吸烟。
“如果年轻人很早就开始吸烟，他们可能会对尼古丁上瘾，而且今后戒烟比较困难，”一位教授说。
每年大约有400万人因为吸烟而死亡。世界卫生组织说，如果人们一直吸烟，到2030年为止每年因为吸烟而死亡的人数将会上升到大约1000万。 因此我们必须了解并把吸烟的危险告诉其他人。
