It was one o'clock in the morning when I at last succeeded in creating life.

    As I looked at the lifeless human being, I saw one eye slowly open. Then he began to breathe and move his arms. At first, I thought he would be a fine-looking man. He had yellow skin, black hair and very white teeth. Unluckily, his eyes were watery, and his lips were thin and colorless. I soon realized that there was nothing beautiful about him. I ran out of the room, disgusted (恶心) by the creature I had created. I tried to sleep, but for hours I could not. Then, when I did get to sleep, I had bad dreams. When I awoke the next morning, I did not want to return to my laboratory and the monster I had created. I went for a long walk until I came to an inn. There, to my pleasure and surprise, I found my friend, Henry Clerval. "Tell me about my family," I asked him. "And Elizabeth, How is she?"

    "They are all well, Frankenstein," he said. "But you do not look well, my friend. Your eyes look as if you have not slept for many weeks."

    I knew this was true. "I have been so busy," I explained, "that I have been working without rest." Henry walked back with me to my department. I did not want him to, but I could not stop him. I was afraid that the creature i had left there might be alive and walking about. When we reached my apartment, I asked Henry to wait outside for a few minutes. I did not explain why. I slowly opened the door and entered the room. To my surprise, it was empty. The creature had gone. I was so overcome by the feeling that I fainted. I was ill for many months.

    During my illness, Henry was my only nurse. He heard me talking in my sleep about a monster. At first, he thought I was just having a bad dream, but then he realized that something very bad happened in my life. At last, I began to get better.

    Doctor Carl was a very busy man. He always worked hard. He often forgot his families' birthdays. Yesterday afternoon he remembered(记得) it was his wife's(妻子的)birthday. He loved his wife. He wanted to give her a present. On his way home from hospital, he bought some beautiful flowers in a shop. When doctor Carl got home, he gave his wife the flowers and said, "Happy birthday to you, dear!" "It's April 20th today. I remembered your birthday this year. " Mrs. Carl laughed and said, "My birthday was the day before yesterday, but thank you all the same. Better late than never!"

Zhao Shu，14.Hangzhou.Zhejiang （Girl）

I live in a dorm（寝室） during junior high school.In the beginning，it was a great challenge since I had never left my parents before that I had to do everything by myself.I learned to tidy my bed and get along with my roommates（家友），I feel comfortable living here and I feel proud of myself.

Yuan Longping, known as" the father of hybrid"(杂交) rice, created hybrid rice. It helps feed the world.

In the 1960s, many people didn't have enough food to eat. Yuan decided to work on a kind of hybrid rice as the thought this rice could feed more people.

At first, some other scientists didn't think hybrid rice was possible. But Yuan wanted to try anyway. He spent four years looking for a kind of wild rice that could be crossed with other kinds of rice. In 1964, he found it.

In 1973, he grew the world's first hybrid rice strain(品种). Compared with common ones, the strain has great advantages. It can produce 20% more rice per mu. Besides, farmers can grow it on many different kinds of land. And it can fight bad weather, too. This kind of hybrid rice has been grown all over China. It has helped China feed nearly one fifth of the world's population with only about 7% of the world's farmland.

Because of his great achievement (成就), Yuan won many prizes, including the Medal of the Republic, the highest honor(荣誉) in China. He will be remembered in everyone's heart.
