He left home when he was twelve and worked on a nearby farm． After that he had a lot of different jobs and in 1930he became a service station manager in Corbin， Kentucky． He started cooking meals for hungry travelers who stopped at the service station， and soon people came only for the food． Harland moved to a 142﹣seat restaurant across the street where he could serve all his customers． Over the next nine years， he developed the secret chicken recipe（ 配方） that made him famous．
In the early 1950s， he closed the restaurant and decided to sell his recipe to other businesses． The first official（正式的） Kentucky fried chicken （ KFC） restaurant did not open until 1952． By 1964 ， there were more than 600KFCs in North America． That year Sanders sold the company （公司） for 2million dollars， but he continued to work as KFC' s public spokesman and visited restaurants all over the world． He travelled 250 ，000miles every year until died in 1980aged 90． Six years later， PepsiCo bought KFC for 480million dollars．

Can you always find what you want to find on the Internet？ These easy﹣to﹣remember ways will help you to become a safe and smart searcher!
Several keywords will help to find better results． Use more than one keyword when you are doing a search． If you want to find out about seagulls， for example， search for bird seagull and not just seagull because seagull might also be the name of just about anything else， from a hotel to a documentary film．
Exact information can help you find what you are looking for． If you are looking for an exact sentence， e． g． "seagulls are very clever"， type （打字） it between inverted commas （""）， and only exact matches will be shown． This is very useful when you want to find something that you've already seen but lost．
Avoid common words like "a" or "the" in a search． These aren't always helpful and usually unnecessary．
Add a minus symbol （﹣） if you don't want some of the results． For example， "seagull﹣hotel﹣film" will leave out all information of hotels and films in the result．
Check out your spelling． Make sure that you spell every word in the search box correctly． The smallest typing mistakes can bring unwanted results， especially when the mis﹣typed word appears．
Have a filter（过滤软件）． It's a good idea to filter your online searches， especially when you are searching pictures． Ask an adult to help you add a filter． There are many kinds of them available．
Try different search engines（ 搜索引擎） until you find the one that's best for you． Some search engines personalize（个性化） the results． So if you want to get different results， you'd better check out the search engines which don't do this．
62． Why can't we use one keyword to look for something on the Internet？
| A． |
It can guide us to find wrong information． |
| B． |
It can make the computer work more slowly． |
| C． |
It can mean nothing but itself on the Internet． |
| D． |

The health risks of smoking are well known， but kids and teens continue to smoke． Many young people pick up the habit every year﹣in fact， 90% of all adult smokers started when they were kids．
You might wonder why people smoke at all． Many people start smoking when they are kids or teens and they try it for many reasons． Maybe all of their friends were doing it or they grew up in a house where all the adults smoked． On the other hand， kids started smoking in order to look cool， act older， lose weight， or feel independent．
But no matter why they started， many smokers （ men， women， boys or girls） wish they could stop． Stopping smoking is hard， though， because there is nicotine （尼古丁） in cigarettes （烟）． Someone can get addicted to（沉溺于） nicotine within days of first using it． When something is addictive， your body and mind will tell you that you need it to feel OK． If you don't get it， you might feel sick， stressed out， or get angry．
Stopping smoking mostly has two steps． The first step is to deal with your dependence on nicotine and the other is to break the habit of smoking． When you stop smoking， you may have to wait a few days or even weeks before the nicotine finally leaves your body．
Most importantly， we must make sure kids and teens understand the dangers of smoking as early as possible．

I arrived at the 57 thSt． Subway Station in New York City at about 10p． m． one evening on my way home． The platform （站台） is long and there weren't many people around． I could hear the weak sound of a violin． As I listened， it appeared to be coming from the other end of the station and it sounded like Mendelsohn's violin concerto（协奏曲） without the orchestra （乐队）． I took a walk along the platform until I reached where the sounds came front． There was a young man playing the concerto and playing very well too． A small crowd had been there to listen and had become so interested in the music that they were letting trains go without getting on them． More people came to listen as a few passengers got off each train． At the end of the piece there was a stormy cheer from the listeners and we all left some money for him． I wanted to hear more， so I asked him to play the Bruch concerto， which he did while I let several more trains go without me． I finally went home， feeling the pleasure of such music．
