根据短文内容回答下列问题。

    James Watt was an English boy. He liked asking questions and was always thinking hard.

    One day he was sitting in the kitchen with his grandmother. There he saw a kettle (壶) on the fire. Some steam began to come out of the kettle. The lid (盖子) was shaking. "Grandma, what's in the kettle?" he asked. "Water, my child… nothing, but water." "But I know there is something else. It pushes the lid up. How did the steam get under the lid?" "It comes from the hot water."

    The boy said to himself, "The steam must be very strong. It can push things. If there is more water, the steam will be much stronger."

    Many years later James Watt tried to make steam work for people. He gave the world the first engine.

                                                                Classic Is Never Gone

    Every year hundreds of films areproduced, yet how many are forgotten after six months? Movies come and go, as throw away as popcorn bags left on the floor of a cinema. But of those few films that people do remember, there is one that is truly “evergreen”(常青).

Whether you are young or old, or where you are in the world, the 1939 classic Gone with the Wind never seems to become unpopular. Last year the film celebrated its 75th birthday.

    The movie comes from a best-selling book of the same name by US writer Margaret Mitchell. Hollywood was soon interested in turning the novel into a movie.

    The story is set in the periods before, during and after the American Civil War (1861-1865). It is about relationships between members of high-class families living in the south of America.

    The Civil War period piece highly rewarded the time and effort of the film makers who worked on it. Over twenty years, nostudio went beyond it in making the most money of any film ever made. It's the kind of movie that every studio dreams of making.

Lei Feng Spirit Carrying on

    On December 18, 1940, Lei Feng was born in a poor peasant family in a little mountain village of Hunan Province. He didn't go to school till 1950. At the age of 18, he worked as a steel worker. He was often praised for his good job. On January 8, 1960, he joined the army. In the same year, he joined the Communist Party. He loved the Party and the people, and constantly did good for others. “It's my duty,” Lei Feng always said when he was thanked by those. He became a model soldier one year later. Lei died in an accident in 1962.

    After his death, Chairman Mao called on the people to “Learn from Comrade Lei Feng”. And 5 March has become the official “Learn from Lei Feng Day” since 1963. People got to know more about him after LeiFeng'sDiary was first presented to the public. Now the term “Living Lei Feng”has become a noun for anyone who is selfless, anyone who has deep love for his country, anyone who works hard, or anyone who is always ready to help others...

    The whole nation are moved by Lei Feng's deeds. And Lei Feng's spirit will live in our heart forever and we surely will practice his spirit in life as he did.
