　　Ali is from a Middle Eastern country．He now stays in the USA．He smokes a lot of cigarettes(香煙)every day．He has smoked for nine years．Ali says, “ I tried to quit(放棄)smoking in my hometown, but it was impossible．My brothers smoke．All my friends smoke．At parties and at meetings, almost all the men smoke．Here in the United States, not as many people smoke．It will be easier to change my habit here．”

　　Many smokers are like Ali：they want to stop smoking．The smokers know that smoking is bad for their health．They know it can cause cancer and heart disease．But it is difficult for them to give up smoking because cigarettes have a drug in them．The drug is nicotine(尼古丁)．People who smoke a lot need nicotine．

　　When a person first begins to smoke, he usually feels terrible．The nicotine makes him sick．In a few days, the smoker's body is used to the nicotine, and he feels fine．Later, the smoker needs nicotine to keep feeling fine．Without nicotine, he feels bad．

　　It is very hard to quit smoking, and many people who quit will soon smoke again．At a party or at work they will decide to smoke “just one” cigarette．Then they will smoke another cigarette, and another．Soon they become smokers again．Maybe there is only one easy way to quit smoking：never start．

    Ali runs a school in India．In Ali’s school the children are asked to learn everything by heart．If a child studies several years in that school, he will have to recite everything he learns there for years on end．Ali is clever in many ways．He knows how to deal with the teachers in his school and he knows how to make children obey him．But we cannot expect him to be a good teacher himself．The main cause is that he never pays any attention to teaching methods．Besides, he is not a good speaker．He often falters（結巴地講話）in his speech．But this is not always the case with Ali．When he discovers that any child in his school can’t recite a text in full, he will squint（斜著眼看）at the child, for Ali is shortsighted, and then proceed to scold the child．Ali never falters when he scolds the children．Only on such occasions is his talent in speech revealed．And very often the parents of the victim(child)turn up in Ali’s office the next day．

    If anybody writes a short play based on the school run by Ali, I’m sure the play will run for years on end．But the trouble is I don’t think there’ll be anybody who is willing to be cast（派角色）in the role of Ali．

　　Teofilo Stevenson was born in 1952 and grew up in a small town in Cuba．He started boxing as a teenager and, when he was 13, went to Havana to train at the national sports complex．"I lost 14 of my first 20 fights," said Stevenson．"I hated getting hit．What happened was that I decided I hated losing even more．"

　　When he was just 20, Teofilo went to the Olympic Games in Germany and won a gold medal．He was tall and powerful with a long "reach"．His long arms could hit opponents(對手)before they could hit him．At the Games in Canada in 1976 he won the gold again．In the ring, boxers were afraid of Teofilo, they tried to stay away from him and not get too close to his powerful punches(拳)．He won another gold medal in Moscow in 1980．Only two of the fights he had at the Olympic Games lasted for the full three rounds．That means he either knocked his opponents to the floor and they were counted out or the referee stopped the fight because it was dangerous for the other boxer．

　　Stevenson was such a good boxer that people wanted him to turn professional．After he had won his first gold medal, managers and famous promoters started to offer him money to fight around the world．Teofilo turned them all down．He wanted to stay in Cuba and didn't want to fight for money or fame．

　　Lots of people think that Teofilo Stevenson was as good as the famous boxer Muhammad Ali, but the two fighters never fought each other．They did meet outside the ring and the two men are now friends．Teofilo thinks "it would have been a draw" if they had fought．
