William Henry Harrison, the ninth President of the USA, was born in a small town. When he was a boy, he was very quiet and shy. Because he was so quiet, everyone thought that he wasn't bright. People in the town often put a nickel(五分镍币)and a dime(十分硬币)before him and asked him which to choose. He always chose the nickel and they laughed.

    One day a woman felt sorry for him. She asked, "Why do you never take a dime and always choose a nickel? Do you know a nickel is worth(值……钱) much less than a dime?"

    "Certainly I know it.” William answered slowly. "But if I choose the dime, they will not ask me to choose them any more.”

William grew up in a poor family in Africa. His family lived in a village with no 1 . At night, they used oil lamps for light. However, oil was too expensive for his parents to afford. 

William wanted to 2 life there but he had no idea how to realize it. One day, he read a book on how to turn wind into electricity with a windmill. 

"That is 3 !" Though he didn't know what a windmill was, he decided to give it a try. 

First he had to 4 all the materials. He dug through the rubbish with his cousin in the villages nearby and 5 his goal until he got what he wanted. 

Then he started to make the windmill. The moment his farm work finished in the fields, he threw himself on studying the materials, staying 6 till midnight. Finally, he made it after many 7 . He fixed the windmill on the top of a wood tower to catch wind. The villagers came to look. A long wire was used to connect to a bulb to the windmill. The wind blew and the windmill 8 . To their amazement, the bulb lit up. The villagers cheered. William threw his hands in the air and jumped 9 . To produce more energy, he built another windmill for his village. 

Bored into poverty, William didn't give up in the face of difficulties. He kept reading, taught himself and lit up the whole 10 .

Our New Year's Resolutions

My hometown Nanjing is in the eastern part of China.As the capital of Jiangsu，it is a modern and busy city.And it is one of the cities with the longest history in China.With the development of the economy（经济），it has changed a lot in the past few years.

For one thing, people took tramcars (有轨电车) to go out in the past. But now many people choose to take a subway because of its convenience (便捷). What's more, taking a taxi becomes very popular. It has an app on the phone, and some people use it to call a taxi. It may be much cheaper.

Besides，the building is different from the past.In the past，the tallest building in Nanjing was Jinling Hotel.It had 37 floors.At that time，the tallest building is Zifeng Tower.It has 78 floors.Different from the past，you can see tall buildings everywhere in Nanjing.

As for the environment，in the 1980s and before，Nanjing was full of trees，people paid little attention to the importance of plants and fresh air.Plants were cut down and the air got worse. Now, to improve the living place, people take all actions to grow plants and cut down pollution. The environment is getting better now.
