Mike found a job in a bookstore after he finished middle school. He wouldn't do anything but wanted to get rich.   It was a cold morning. It snowed and there was thin ice on the streets. Few people went to buy books and the young man had nothing to do. He hated to read, so he watched the traffic. Suddenly he saw a bag fall off a truck and it landed by the other side of the street.

    “It is full of expensive things.” Mike said to himself. “I have to get it right now, or others will take it away.”He went out of the bookstore and ran across the street. A driver saw him and began to whistle (鸣笛), but he didn't hear it and went on running. The man drove to the side, hit a big tree and hurt himself in the accident. Two weeks later, Mike was taken to the court (法庭). A judge asked if he heard the whistle when he was running across the street. He said that something was wrong with his ears and he could hear nothing.“But you heard me this time,” said the judge.“Oh, I'm sorry. Now I can hear with one ear.”“Cover (盖住) the ear with your hand and listen to me with your deaf (聋的) one. Well, can you hear me?”“No, I can't , sir.”“You told a lie. There is nothing wrong with either of your ears,” the judge said.

    Like most of her friends, Georgie Sanderson has 24-houpa-day access(使用权) to technology through her mobile phone, iPod Touch and home computer. But the 15-year-old girl says she is too busy to spend her days on Facebook. She only uses it once or twice a day. "The 10th grade is busy, and I have to work hard. Even when I'm not studying, I have better things to do with my time, such as being outside or spending time with my friends," she says. Georgie has a part-time job. She watches TV for a while in the afternoon and she helps with the housework.

    Georgie's words prove the findings of a new report. According to the report, teenagers today are not completely dominated(支配) by technology, although they have been into a digital(数字) world. They spend most of their time on their homework, TV, part-time jobs, hobbies, sports, friendship or reading instead of playing or chatting on the computer. But the report also finds that mobile phones are important to teenagers. 95 percent of 18 year-olds have got one mobile phone, and 82 percent sleep with their mobile phones on and beside them all night.

    For Georgie, sleep is more important than texting others. Georgie is also careful about the use of IT. She says, "Social media is helpful, but it is so distracting(使人分心的). I only use it when I do need to use it."

When I was in the third grade，I watched a video that showed the discovery of King Tutankhamen's tomb（陵墓）.I remember Carter，going through a narrow hole in the tomb with a candle.A workman asked what he could see."Wonderful things!"Carter said.From that moment，I knew what I wanted to do with my life.

So I decided what I wanted to be at the age of nine，and I made it happen.Seems easy，right？Not quite!The road wasn't easy!I did my studies—university（博士）.But along the way I was told many things，"Shawki was too young and she had no experience.She should get married and have kids".I also needed money（申请补助金）.The first five replies I got said no.Six months later the last reply came and I was excited about it.Finally，I could start my own digging.

Today，I'm lucky to work as an archaeologist（考古学家）.I study the lives of people who lived in Egypt's Nile Delta（埃及的尼罗河三角洲）

For anyone thinking about a job，I would say：Never give up.If you want to do something.keep trying.If people tell you"no"，use that—it will push you.At the beginning

Second，focus on your goals.You don't have to follow people.If they say something has never been done，make it happen.You may be the first to do it!There are always challenges

Mingming is a lovely boy. He likes animals very much. His parents take him to Wuhan Zoo{#blank#}1{#/blank#} Sunday. There they can m{#blank#}2{#/blank#} many animals. And family outing is great f{#blank#}3{#/blank#} for them. They like different kinds of animals. Mingming {#blank#}4{#/blank#} ( think) monkeys are clever and he likes them best. His father likes tigers best. His mother's favourite animals are pandas. She thinks the black- and- white animals {#blank#}5{#/blank#}( be) very kind and cute. They also s{#blank#}6{#/blank#} penguins, giraffes, elephants and so on. And they take many {#blank#}7{#/blank#}( photo) there. It's r{#blank#}8{#/blank#} for them to do so.

At the end of the d{#blank#}9{#/blank#}, Mingming's parents even buy some souvenirs (纪念品) for{#blank#}10{#/blank#}( he). All of them are very happy in the zoo. Mingming really wants to visit the zoo again.

Last summer, Sam went to a river to catch fish with his friends near his home. They had great fun walking in cool running water to catch the small silver fish.

Before going to the river, Sam found a bag first. As soon as he reached the river with his friends, they took off their shoes and socks and put their feet into the running water. It was so cool. Walking carefully, Sam looked for the right place where the fish shone. Often Sam fished with his friend and it was easier. But this time Sam fished by himself because he wanted to have a try. Taking two corners(角) of the bag, he stood in the water and slowly put the bag down to the river. Little by little, he put it down to the bottom(河底) . Then he waited, not making any sound, or moving a bit. When the fish went above the bag, Sam moved the bag up quickly and carefully. He got it. The bag was full of little silver fish.

But the greatest fun was not just in catching the fish, but also in letting them go back into the river to go on their natural lives. Sam put down the bag into the river, and the small fish swam off. Other children would also do the same and let the fish go away.
