me，please？I have tried to stop smoking several times.I am OK for two days and then I feel really sick and irritable and I have to start smoking again.I know smoking is a bad habit，but I just can't

I am sorry you have had so much trouble to stop smoking，but I am glad you are still trying.I hope the tips below will help you.‎ First of all，don't give up.The more often you try，the more likely you are to eventually succeed.When you feel irritable，don't automatically reach for a cigarette to make you feel better.Take a few moments to relax.Start by breathing deeply and lifting your arms out to the side and over your head.‎ It is a good idea to drink lots of water and eat lots of fruit when you are quitting smoking.This will help to remove the nicotine from your body faster and you won't

Regards，‎ Amy ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ One possible version：‎ Dear Amy，‎ Thank you for your letter.I am so glad to have a talk about your present situation with you.‎ People often miss their parents the first time they leave home.Most people do have to leave home for higher education or employment.You cannot live with your parents forever.I think you should realize that present separation will help your academic development and your improvement of personal ability.‎ You need to make friends in your school，sharing ideas with your classmates who are physically closest to you now.Maybe you will still miss your parents，but your new friends will bring happiness and joy to your new life.Also I suggest you enjoy yourself by taking an active part in different kinds of activities in school.You will get much pleasure from it.‎ Wish you happy every day.‎ Faithfully yours，‎ Editor Step 10　Reflection after teaching ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ What We Still Don't Know About AIDS？(艾滋病还有哪些未解之谜？)‎ In the 20 years since the first cases of AIDS were detected，scientists say they have learned more about this viral disease than any other.‎ Yet Peter Piot，who directs the United Nations AIDS program，and Stefano Vella of Rome，president of the International AIDS Society，and other experts say reviewing unanswered questions could prove useful as a measure of progress for AIDS and other diseases.‎ Among the important broader scientific questions that remain：‎ ‎1．Why does AIDS predispose infected persons to certain types of cancer and infections?‎ A long－standing belief is that cancer cells constantly develop and are held in check by a healthy immune system.But AIDS has challenged that belief.People with AIDS are much more prone to certain cancers like non－Hodgkins lymphomas and Kaposi's sarcoma，but not to breast，colon and lung，the most common cancers in the United States.This pattern suggests that an impaired immune system，at least the type that occurs in AIDS，does not allow common cancers to develop.‎ ‎2．What route does HIV take after it enters the body to destroy the immune system?‎ When HIV is transmitted sexually，the virus must cross a tissue barrier to enter the body.How that happens is still unclear.The virus might invade directly or be carried by a series of different kinds of cells.‎ ‎3．How does HIV subvert the immune system?‎ Although HIV kills the immune cells sent to kill the virus，there is widespread variation in the rate at which HIV infected people become ill with AIDS.So scientists ask：Can the elements of the immune system responsible for that variability be identified？If so，can they be used to stop progression to AIDS in infected individuals and possibly prevent infection in the first place?‎ ‎4．What is the most effective anti－HIV therapy?‎ In theory，early treatment should offer the best chance of preserving immune function.But the new drugs do not completely eliminate HIV from the body so the medicines，which can have dangerous side effects，will have to be taken for a lifetime and perhaps changed to combat resistance.The new policy is expected to recommend that treatment be deferred until there are signs the immune system is weakening.‎ ‎5．Is a vaccine possible?‎ There is little question that an effective vaccine is crucial to controlling the epidemic.Yet only one has reached the stage of full testing，and there is wide controversy over the degree of ‎ protection it will provide.HIV strains that are transmitted in various areas of the world differ genetically.It is not known whether a vaccine derived from one type of HIV will confer protection against other types.‎ ‎6．In the absence of a vaccine，how can HIV be stopped?‎ Without more incisive，focused behavioral research，prevention messages alone will not stop the global epidemic.‎
