    Here are two stories from different parts of the world. They seem strange but, believe it or not, they re all true!
    John Lee was an Englishman who refused to be hanged! In 1884 the police said Lee had killed an old woman who he used to work with. There was nothing to show that Lee had killed the woman. Lee told the police he hadn't done it, but no one believed him and he was going to be hanged. On the day of the hanging, however, the door in the floor, through which Lee's body would fall, did not open. They tried three times but each time the door stayed closed, even though it had worked well the day before. In the end they sent Lee back to prison, where he lived for the next twenty-two years. At all times, John Lee said he hadn't killed the woman, and he believed it was the "hand of God" that had saved him from death by hanging.
    The police in Venezuela (委内瑞拉)in South America followed a man home one night. He was the thief they wanted to catch. However, half of his house was standing in Venezuela and the other half was standing in Colombia (哥伦比亚). Venezuela's neighbor. When the police entered the house, the man ran upstairs to his bedroom, which was in Colombia, and called his lawyer (律师).

Once a tortoise (乌龟) and two swans (天鹅)lived on a lake. They were very good friends. They spent many hours 1 together.

To their bad luck, there was no 2 that year. The lake became dry. So they had to leave the 3 in search of another one to live.

The two swans could fly easily, but for the tortoise it was 4 . The three of them began to think harder, not sure of what to do next.

At last, the two swans had an idea. They said to the tortoise, "We will place a stick (棍子) in your mouth. We will 5 the stick in our mouths on the sides. This will make us fly together. But remember, you must not open your mouth. If you do, you know what will happen to 6 ."

The tortoise was sad to leave the lake, 7 it agreed to the idea happily.

One fine morning, they were flying over a large town. The people of the town were 8 when they saw what was in the sky. They felt strange about it and started shouting excitedly.

The tortoise heard the noise and wanted to know what it was about. It 9 its promise and opened its mouth to ask, "Why is there ...? Ah ...!"

Sadly, the tortoise 10 , and died.

The swans had no chance to save it. They were sad to lose their best friend but had to fly away and start their new life.

I have been a writer for the school newspaper the Dagligtale, since my first day here at the University of Alberta. I probably won't work as a reporter after I finish university, but this doesn't mean my experience as a reporter has been useless. In fact, I have learned something important through this job.

I still remember my first news story. It was about the winning of the school baseball team. I came to the celebration and was told to do some interviews (采访). I was afraid. Talking to people I don't know was one of my worries. But I tried my best and did it. I talked to the students, the players and the team leader. It was something I had never dreamed of doing before. This experience made me believe in myself and helped me to improve my social skills (社交技能).

As a student reporter, I have learned to do research and to think carefully about what I read. Finding out the facts is important when you are writing for the school newspaper, but in the Information Age, this is also a useful skill in everyday life.

As a student reporter, I always know that I have a lot to learn. I'm never afraid of asking people for advice. I have learned how to use it to make improvements to myself.

To be a reporter is not easy, but I'm thankful that I have had the chance (机会) to try my hand at it. It has taught me to be a better storyteller, student and citizen. If you are ever given a chance to write for a school newspaper or magazine, take it and learn everything you can!
