我希望大家再接再厉，学英语就贵在坚持，坚持到底，你会在不知不觉中发现自己进步了！
半途而废的话，那么最多你只是做了个热身，因为所有教材都是由浅入深的。

Sally and her husband Jack have both been driving for three years.
Jack has always driven very carefully.
He has never been in an accident.
Sally, however, has never been a good driver.
She has already gotten into 4 accidents this year.
Each time she has had an accident, she has claimed that it was not her fault.
Yesterday, Sally drove into a tree.

alcohol and cigarettes are the two greatest killers in the world.
hundreds of thousands of people have died because of these two social evils.
as a result, some governments are trying to control the use of these drugs.
for example, in many countries, the legal age for drinking has been raised from 18 to 21.
some countries have even banned smoking in public places.
people can help each other live longer by simply discouraging these bad habits.
