HOW TO QUIT （GIVE UP） SMOKING
When thinking about quitting：
* List all the reasons why you want to quit. Every night before going to bed， repeat one of the reasons 10 times.
* Decide positively that you want to quit. Try to avoid negative thoughts about how difficult it might be. Develop strong personal reasons in addition to your health and responsibility for others. For example， think of all the time you waste taking cigarette breaks， rushing out to buy a pack， hunting for a lighter， etc. Set a date for quitting—perhaps a special day like your birthday or a holiday. If you smoke heavily at work， quit during your vacation. Take the date seriously， and don’t let anything change it. Begin to condition yourself physically； start a modest exercise； drink more water； get plenty of rest.
Immediately after quitting...
* The first few days after you quit， spend as much free time as possible in places where smoking is forbidden， e.g. libraries， museums， theatres， department stores， etc.
* Drink large quantities of water and fruit juice. Try to avoid wine， coffee and other drinks which remind you of cigarette smoking.
* Strike up a conversation with someone instead of a match for a cigarette.
* If you miss the sensation of having a cigarette in your hand， play with something else—a pencil， a pen or a ruler.
* If you miss having something in your mouth， try a toothpick or a fake cigarette.

American schools are looking for ways to save money on bus transportation because of high fuel prices. More children may have to walk， ride their bikes or find other ways to get to school.
But， as another effect of the high prices， they may not have to go to school as often. Some schools， especially in countryside areas， are changing to a four-day school week. That means longer days instead of the traditional Monday through Friday schedule.
Beginning in the fall， students in the Maccray School District in Minnesota will be in school Tuesday through Friday. Each school day will be 65 minutes longer.
Supervisor Greg Schmidt says the district expects to save about 65 thousand dollars a year in transportation costs. The district has about 700 students living in an area of 900 square kilometers.
State officials have supported the plan for three years. They may change their minds if learning suffers. In Custer， South Dakota， students have been going to school Monday through Thursday since 1993. Supervisor Tim Creal says the change has saved about one million dollars over just the past eight years.
He says that in the future， the growth of online classes could make it possible to require even fewer days at school. High fuel prices are driving college students to take more online classes. And in some states， high school students can take them， too.
A four-day school week sounds like a great idea for students and teachers. But working parents may have to pay for child care for that fifth day. In agricultural areas， it can mean an extra day of helping on the family farmland.
The Lake Arthur School District has just one hundred sixty students. Lake Arthur used a four-day schedule for twelve years. But a few years ago it went back to five days.
Michael Grossman heads the district. He says two studies there failed to show any real educational improvement using the four-day school week. And he says not much instruction was taking place during the last hour of school， because students were too tired.
