At one station, a kind lady told me that big stations wouldn't want an inexperienced person and suggested that I try my luck at smaller stations. Following her 4 I went back to Dixon, where I had grown up. There were no radio-announcing jobs in Dixon, and my father said a newly-opened store wanted a local athlete to work for it. I asked for the job, but I was 5again.
“Everything happens for the best,”Mom 6 me. Dad offered me the car to look for a job. I tried WOC Radio in Davenport, Iowa. The program director, Peter MacArthur, said they had hired an announcer.
As I left his office, my frustration (挫败感) boiled over.“How can I become a sports announcer 7 I can't get a job in a radio station?”I asked aloud.
While I was waiting for the lift, I heard someone 8my name. It was MacArthur.“What was that you said about sports? Do you know anything about football?”Then he asked me to broadcast (广播) an imaginary game.9 with my performance, he offered me a chance to work there.

In China and even in the world, Huawei is a wonder. Although it started producing mobile phones not many years ago, it has become one of the most famous phone companies.
Now Huawei has got third place at the mobile market, just following Apple and Samsung. After seeing more of its smartphones were sold last year, Huawei appears to be more confident in its bigger goals.
“We hope that in three years our market share can be the top two and in five years our market share can be the top one, ” Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei's Consumer(消费者) Business Group, said in a recent TV interview.
The company sold 108 million smartphones in 2015, compared with 2014, the number increased by 44 percent, though it was much smaller than Apple's 231. 5 million iPhones and Samsung's 317. 2 million smartphones.
“The number of our smartphones is still growing, ” Yu said, “and our company is expecting an increase of 30% in smartphone shipments(出货量). It'll be a great success.”
Although Huawei's smartphones sold well in Western Europe and China, the market in the US is another example. Yu said that the company was “so late” to the US. However, we are trying hard to raise our market share there in the next few years.

Some of her favorite Chinese cartoons are Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, Big Head Son and Small Head Dad, which are very popular in China.
Isabelle studies at the Confucius Institute (孔子学院) near her home, the William & Mary Confucius Institute. “It is just the beginning of a fantastic ongoing adventure, all thanks to the Confucius Institute,” she said.
The WMCI offers courses on many aspects (方面) of Chinese culture, from travel tips to calligraphy(书法), to tai chi, cooking and music. The first course that Isabelle took was a cooking class. She then tried tai chi and kung fu through the WMCI.

Zhang Zhouchen, a sixth grader, has published two novels in English.“Most people often read to learn English, but my secret is to write ”he said. "Reading is a way of taking in. But only when you use it for writing can you master it completely. “

Stephen Hawking was born in Oxford, England on 8th January, 1942. He went to school in St Allbans, a small city near London. ⑴尽管他做得很好,但是拿不到第一名。
After leaving school, Hawking went first to Oxford University where he studied physics and then went to Cambridge University where he studied cosmology(宇宙学). As he himself admits, he didn't work hard. He was a very lazy student, and did very little work. However, he still got high marks.
⑵ 在他20岁的时候,他的身体出毛病了。 He started to knock into things. When he visited his family at Christmas time, his mother was so worried that she made him see a doctor. Hawking was sent to hospital for tests. Finally, the result came back. Hawking had motor neuron disease(运动神经元病). ⑶The illness would make him unable to speak, breathe or move without the help of a machine. Doctors said they had no way to help him. He would die before 23.
At first, Hawking became very sad. After a while, though, he began to see his life in a different way. As he later wrote, “Before my illness was diagnosed(诊断), I had been very bored with life. There had not seemed to be anything worth doing. But shortly after I came out of hospital, ⑷I suddenly realized that there were a lot of valuable things I could do.” Then Hawking got married and found a job at Cambridge University as a professor. ⑸He strongly believes that his story shows that nobody should lose hope, no matter how bad their situation is. “Life is not fair.” He once said. “You just have to do the best you can in your own situation.”
