John Smith is an old porter. He works at the railway station. Every day he is busy carrying heavy things for passengers（乘客）. He is kind to everyone and always ready to help others.

    One morning, John stood in the station. A train was coming. He was waiting for it. Just then he saw a man running in the station with a big bag in his hand.

    “No train is starting. Why is he in such a hurry?” the old man thought to himself.

    John went up to the man and asked, “May I help you?”

    As soon as the man saw the old porter, he stopped running.

    “Can I catch the 10:35 train to London?” the man asked. He looked worried.

    John looked at him for a few seconds and said, “Well, sir. I'd like to help you, but I can't answer your question because I don't know how fast you can run.” Then he continued, “The 10:35 train to London left five minutes ago. Can you run fast enough to catch it?”

    Steve Jobs, who was as famous as Bill Gates in the world, was one of the fathers of the personal computing time and the founder of the computer company, “Apple”. He was also one of the greatest giants of the information age. The following are some of his greatest achievements.

    One afternoon, Mrs. Smith decided to visit her friend Mrs. Green. Mrs. Green lived in a nice house with a large garden in the countryside. Mrs. Smith took her dog with her. While the women were having coffee outside the house, the dog was running around in the garden. The two friends were surprised when the dog appeared with a dead rabbit in his mouth. Mrs. Green began to feel sick because she knew that her neighbor kept rabbits in a hutch (兔窝) in his garden. As the dog and the rabbit were both covered with dirt, the woman took the rabbit and carefully cleaned it in the bathroom. When it got dark, they went quietly into the neighbor's garden and put the dead rabbit into the hutch.

    The next afternoon, Mrs. Green's neighbor found her in the garden with the dead rabbit. She walked to the neighbor and she felt very afraid. Because she knew she did something wrong. “You know what?” her neighbor said. “Yesterday morning I found one of my rabbits dead in the hutch. So I put it in the ground in the garden and this morning, it's back to the hutch! I'm going to take it to a right pet cemetery (墓地).” he said secretly.

    If you love reading books, you must know about the book The Little Prince. It's a famous novel written by a French writer. As one of the best-selling books in history, it has been sold as many as 200 million copies in 253 languages and dialects(方言). Now, around seventy years after the birth of the book, an American director has found a way to make it into a 3-D animated film.

    The book tells the story of a pilot, called The Aviator, who crashes into the desert and meets a young prince there. However, in the film, the story starts years after the crash when The Aviator is much older. He has got a new neighbor called The Little Girl, whose mother wants her to get ready to enter the grown-up world. Slowly, The Aviator shares his story with The Little Girl by writing it down and sending her a page at a time. The pages are complete with the pictures in the book, speaking about his time in the desert and taking The Little Girl to an amazing world where anything is possible.

    China is the first country in the world to see the film in two versions(版本)—in Chinese and English. The film shows The Little Girl's life and tells The Little Prince's story at the same time in a beautiful way.

    Huang Lei, a famous Chinese actor, says the film is like a childhood dream which is lost by most adults in this stressed-out society.

    "The most touching(感人的) part is that every one of us was a good-natured kid like The Little Prince, and it's a pity that this good characteristic(品质) goes away as time flies," he says.

    I heard that Lijiang was a very famous place for its beautiful sightseeing. When I was young. So I travelled there with my parents during the last winter holiday.

    We went there by plane. I saw there were many mountains when I got out of the plane. The air was fresh. On the first day, we went to the old of lie bought some interesting things and had a good meal there. On the second day, we went to Yulong Snow Mountain. It was beautiful, and the land was covered by the white snow. It was my first time to see snow. I played with the snow happily. My father told me that it was a famous place in China. Many people came here every year. I seldom go travelling, but this time I was very happy during this trip. I also met some foreigners here, and I even tried to talk with them. Though it was not easy for me to talk in English fluently (流利地), I was still glad to make a try. We took many beautiful photos about the scenery and my family.
