Some people are never right. They never have good luck. They usually do the wrong thing and say the wrong thing. And even though what they say and do is OK, they say it or do it at the wrong time. So these people always have problems. They often break glasses. They sometimes miss buses or trains.
Mr Neff is different. He is always right. He is never wrong. He usually has good luck. He hardly has problems. He never misses buses and trains. Even though he really misses them, it is always the fault of the buses and the trains.

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.
