Do you think there is a ghost(鬼) in the world? More than 20 years ago, a student jumped from the top of the clock tower in the University of Birmingham. He did this only because he failed his final exam.

   After his death, a superstition(迷信)began: Anyone who walks under the clock tower will have bad luck in his exam. Years later, students there still remembered the story of the tower. Although Birmingham is the second largest city in Britain, the university is green and quiet. The grass around the tower has been worn away by the feet of students who refuse to pass underneath the tower.

   The university had to pave(铺)extra paths, so students could walk to their classrooms without passing under the most terrible area. But, one day just before an important exam, a top student in the university walked under the clock tower because he was lost in thought.

However, he got high marks in the exam the next day. Quickly students all knew about it. Then they realized that the most important thing is working hard. 

   Whenever I go under the clock tower, I will tell myself, “Working hard is the key to success.”

    If you need to call your parents but your smartphone(智能手机) is not with you, can you remember their numbers? To remember 11 numbers is not difficult. _______, many of us can't because of the smartphone. What's more, people are not good at giving directions and face-to-face talks because of smartphones. Even when friends are having a meal together, it's common to play with their phones. Smartphones weaken（削弱） our skills in many ways.

    According to a study, Chinese people spend about 170 minutes on their smart phones every day. For students, spending much time on smartphones isn't good for their study. The study shows children who spend more than four hours a day on their phones get much worse grades in school tests than those who play with their phones for 30 minutes.

    It's true that the smartphone makes our lives easier. But many people also think spending too much time on it is bad for their study or work. People are trying to change that.

    People make a new game called Forest. It lets users plant a seed that grows into a tree over the next 30 minutes. During it, users can't use their phones, or the tree will die.

    There is a restaurant in the USA. It gives people a discount(折扣) if they don't play with their smartphones during a meal. Owner Mark Gold said that he hoped it gave people a way to enjoy their meal and talk with friends and family.

    On Sept 4 and 5 this year, the 11^th G20 Leaders Summit (峰会) was held in Hangzhou, capital of Zhejiang Province in east China. It was a big success.

    G20 is made up of the world's most important 20 economies (经济体)—the European Union and 19 countries. Both developed countries like the US and Germany, and developing countries like Brazil and China are members of it. Every year, the G20 members get together and talk about the world economic events. For example, after the financial crisis (金融危机) in 2008, they agreed that the International Monetary Fund (IMF, 国际货币基金组织) could give money to countries in need. Other events also included making sure poorer areas have enough food and good development.

    It was the first ever G20 summit to be hosted in China. The logo of the summit looks like a bridge. "I got the idea from the old bridges at the West Lake," said the designer Yuan Youmin. "Bridges bring people and places together in many different ways, just as the G20 makes east and west get together."

    Chinese food also pleased many foreign guests with its culture. At the welcome dinner to the member leaders there was one famous dish—Dongpo Rou. Song Dynasty poet Su Dongpo made the dish first. Su once lived in Hangzhou.

    One main topic of the summit this year is to develop goals and plans of creative growth for G20 members. China itself is developing its creative ability in recent years. It is not easy to host such a summit, butChina has made a great contribution (贡献) to the G20 by bringing out a new future.
