When Susan Chen left high school, she want to go to university. Unfortunately, her father was quite poor,and a university education cost a lot of money.

    Take the entrance examination, she didn't score very high marks, but she scored enough, and was offered a place at the university.

    “I'm very proud of you, Susan,” her father said, “I must find the money for a university education for you somehow.”

“But how ,Dad?” Susan asked.

  “Well, I can sell my car and work a lot of overtime, I can even work at two jobs if necessary. One during the day and one at night.”

   “You're a generous father” Susan said.

“Your future is worth the sacrifice,”he told her.The next day he sold his car and asked his boss to give him three hours overtime every day.This meant walking to work and working 12 hours a day, seven days a week, but he didn't complain. His daughter's education was worth it.

A year passed, Susan took her first-year examination. When the results were announced, she ran home to tell her father the news. “Dad”she said, “I've got my examination results, you'll be pleased,”“You've passed”he exclaimed ,“guess what? I've got the third place and won the scholarship. You can have your car back and stop working so hard.”

    I had a summer camp with my classmates for a week last year.

    Early in the morning, we gathered(聚集) at the bus station. After saying goodbye to our parents, we got on the buses. It took us more than two hours to arrive at the campground.

    We got off the buses happily. Laughing and shouting, we jumped and ran all over the place. It was the first time for us to be away from the parents. Some of us started to feel homesick(想家). However, when the night party and dances began, we felt excited again.

    The next day, everybody rushed to the boating class, hoping to be at the head of the others. At first, my friends and I worked hard, but the boat wouldn't listen to us and kept going round and round. Then the teacher taught us how to work together. After many tries, we did much better.

     Swimming class was my favourite. It was about the hottest time of a day and the best time to stay in the cool water. The swimming teacher was a funny man, and during the class he often made us laugh happily. During the week I learned a lot of new things and made many new friends. I also learned how to take care of myself.

    My family lives very happily on a farm near a small town. My father always learns some information about weather through the TV, the Internet and newspapers.

    One evening, he asked us to meet at the table after dinner. "I have some bad news," he said. "The weather reports on the television warned(警告)that we would face a typhoon tomorrow."

    At 6:30 a.m. the next day, the winds started and the rain was falling heavily. There were new warnings that the sea level could go up as much as 5 meters.

    The winds were terribly strong and tree branches were flying everywhere. Trees were falling down and the rain kept coming down.

    Just after 10:30, the wind stopped suddenly-it was strangely calm and the sun was shining. Then the winds came howling(咆哮)again, but this time more rain fell. There were more flying things and the storm came in. Everything within 1 km of the coast was flooded-there was fish in the streets. Now the winds were dying down, but the rain was still falling.

    After another two hours, the wind came to a stop at last. My home was in a mess and my mum burnt her arm when the hot water from the stove hit her skin. We were all frightened, but we were all safe, including the cat.

    Mozart was born on January 27, 1756 and died on December 5, 1791. When he was three, he often had music lessons with his elder sister. His father took him through many different countries, where he played music for lots of people.

    But some people didn't believe a little boy could write such beautiful music. They asked him to stay in a room all by himself for a week and somebody watched the room all the time. In a week, he finished a new piece of music. After that, people believed that he could write beautiful music.

    Mozart died when he was still a young man. During his short life he studied music, taught music, played music and wrote music. Even by working so hard, he couldn't make much money. Often he had to borrow(借入) money from his friends. But his music made him happy and for more than two hundred years his music has made other people happy, too.

Einstein has to speak at an important science meeting.  On the way there, he tells his driver that looksa bit like him, "I'm sick of all these meetings. I always say the same thingsover and over!"

The driver agrees, "You're right. As your driver, I attendall of them, and even though I don't know anything about science, I could give thespeech in your place. "

"That's a great idea!" says Einstein. "Let's exchangeour places then!"

So they exchange clothes. As soon as they arrive, the driverdressed as Einstein goes on stage and starts giving the usual speech, while thereal Einstein, dressed as the car driver, attends it.

But in the crowd, there is one scientist who wants to show offand thinks of a very difficult question to ask Einstein, hoping he won't be ableto answer. So this guy stands up and cuts in the speech by raising his very difficultquestion. The whole room goes silent, holding their breath, waiting for the answer.

The driver looks at him, dead in the eye, and says, "Sir,your question is so easy that I'm going to let my driver answer it for me."
