根据短文内容， 从下框的A-F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项，并将答案填在答题栏内。选项中有一项为多余项。

Make a list.

Change your diet.

Keep your hands and mouth busy

Five tips to help you stop smoking

16.

Make a promise, set a date and stick to it. Don’t be put off by a wedding, party or other time when you normally smoke.

17.

Is your after-dinner cigarette your favorite? A new American study has showed that some foods including meat make cigarettes more satisfying. Others including cheese, fruit and vegetables make cigarettes taste terrible. So swap your usual steak or burger for a veggie pizza instead.

18.

The same study looked at drinks. Fizzy(泡沫腾涌的)drinks, alcohol, cola, tea and coffee all make cigarettes taste better. So when you’re out, drink more water and juice. Some people find that simply changing their drink (for example, switching from wine to a vodka and tomato juice ) affects their need to reach for a cigarette.

19.

If your friends or family members want to give up too, suggest to them that you should give up together. Also, there are your local NHS stop-smoking services and the NHS Smoking Helpline, available on 0800 0224332 ( 7 am to 11 pm daily).

20.

Keep reminding yourself of why you give up smoking. Make a list of the reasons and read it when you need support. Ex- smokers Chris, 28, says, “ I used to take a picture of my baby daughter with me when I went out. If I was tempted (引诱) , I’d look at that.”

Dear Sally,

Now I’d like to tell you something about my part-time job this summer vacation, of which I worked like a guide in a travel agency. The work was interesting but tired. I think it was helpful to work this holiday. It was the first time that I have earned money on my own. I’ve come to understand how hard my parents work to support for the family. I used to keep on ask them for money, but now I’ll never waste money and learn to share worry with my parent. I've learnt how to get along well with others. What's worse, I've gained some working and social experience and I have learnt something can’t be learnt from textbooks. All these will be good for my future. In the word, I had the wonderful and valuable summer vacation.

Yours,
