China has made big progress in running competitions! The young 1 Su Bingtian made history on Sunday by becoming the 2 Asian athlete to appear in the men's 100m final at the world athletics championships.

    As the 3 man in China, Su was born in a 4 family in Guangdong in 1989. His parents were both farmers and had a lot of work to do on the farm every day. So Su often helped them with housework at home. Though his study was not very good, he was 5at running than many other boys in his class. He6 this kind of sport very much, so he practised running as often as possible. In 2004, Su started to take part in different competitions and has won many prizes since then. And this year, he managed* to finish 100 metres in 9.99 7. That was the best result in Asia. His dream8! When he heard the news, he could not believe 9 ears.

    Though Su is famous now, he never behaves arrogantly*. Instead, he still works hard 10 he wants to have a better chance of winning! I believe there is a lesson there.

Leonardo da Vinci was a famous artist who was born in Italy. He was also a great inventor. Many of his inventions have become important in modern life. Although Leonardo hated war. he invented many different machines used for war. His most special invention was the machine gun, which was produced and used in war. Besides, Leonardo spent days thinking about how to save time. He developed ideas for something like cutting machines.

Leonardo was a strange man. He never ate meat. That was very unusual in those times. He never published(发表) discoveries about science. He usually used mirror writing, which looks like usual writing in a mirror, starting from the right side of the page and moving to the left side。

Only a few of his paintings are left today. Many paintings were not finished because he thought they were not perfect.

Leonardo was talented and creative. He was regarded as one of the most intelligent men in the world.

The Incredibles is a cartoon movie about superheroes with huge power. However, it still feels like a film about ordinary people. The movie is about a superhero called Mr Incredible. He is very strong, and he can save people from danger.

However, 15 years later, Mr Incredible and other superheroes have to give up their"Hero work" and live a common life. Then Mr Incredible becomes " Bob Parr" and starts working for a company.

Just before he becomes "Bob Parr", Mr Incredible marries another superhero "Elastigirl", and later she becomes " Helen Parr". Together they create a family and have three children—Violet(daughter), Dash(son)and Jack(baby). They also have super power. The parents ask their children not to use their super power.

Bob finds it very difficult to live the life of common person. He misses being a superhero and helping other people. One day a secret government department asks him to do some hero work. Bob is happy to do so. Unluckily, Bob soon finds himself in deep trouble. However, with the help of his superhero wife and children, he is able to fight back and again, the good beats the bad.

Father's Day is coming. Our teacher tells us to ask our dads questions to know them more. I can't remember seeing my dad cry, 1 I ask him :"Do I make you cry before?"

"Yes, there's once,"he says.

He tells me that when I was one year old, he put a pen, a piece of paper money, and a toy 2 me. He wants to see which one I will choose. It's a tradition that a lot of Chinese people do on their kids' 3 birthdays. According to this tradition, it shows 4 the kids will value* most when they grow up. For example, if the kid takes the 5 , it means he or she will be an intelligent*person in the future. If the kid takes the money, it means he or she will value money more than others and will become rich. If the kid takes the toy, it means he or she will like fun things and 6 a lot.

My father is just doing it out of curiosity*. It is 7 for him to see which one I will choose anyway.

He says that I just sit there and look at the three things. He sits across from me and waits to see what will happen.

I move to him and push* 8 away. I go right into his arms and laugh 9 . He doesn't know that he is one of the choices.

And that is the first and only time I make him 10 .
