Once, Einstein gave a lecture in a university. After his speech, the audience started asking questions.

    A girl asked, "Do you think you're a giant of science？" Einstein said with a smile, "A giant is a person who is tall in height. You see I'm so small, how can I be a giant? Maybe I see a bit farther, only because I stand higher！"

    Then a boy asked, "You mentioned you stand higher than the others. It reminds me that you had a talk with a lady on the top of the Alps (阿尔卑斯山).I don't want to ask what you talked, but I want to know whether you realised you have been a top in the history of science when you stood on the top."

    Looking at the boy carefully, Einstein replied, "Well, my height cannot become a top. And there is no top that no one can get to, so we don't want to be a top, but we want to be a person to climb the top！"

    Then he took up a piece of chalk and wrote on the blackboard, "Standing on the top, you are not tall, but even smaller！"

    Then he said, "Though I stand tall, in the eyes of the world I'm still small! Finally, I can tell you a sentence, which was the last one I told the lady on the top of the Alps, 'Any top can be reached, for there is no giant in the world but the one who stands higher！'A storm of applause(掌声) sounded. The lady who listened to Einstein's instruction on the Alps that year was no other than Madam Curie!

    In many children's stories, a girl meets a prince and falls in love. They get married and live happily ever after. As a child, Meghan Markle may never have imagined marrying a prince. But that is exactly what happened on May 19th!

    Who is this young lady who just married into Britain's royal family (王室)？ Meghan Markle was born in Los Angeles, California, in 1981. Her mother, Doria, was a doctor, and her father, Tom, was a television lighting director. For 10 years after school each day, young. Meghan spent time at the studio where her father worked. This experience allowed her to become very comfortable with the acting business. For that reason, she knew she wanted to become an actress from a very early age. As a child, she felt strong about something else, too: People should be treated fairly. This passion (热情) to help others is still a big part of her life today.

    Her acting career (生涯) began in 2002 when she made her first appearance on TV. Other small parts on TV and in a few films followed. Nine years later, Markle got her big break. She won a lead role in the popular TV series Suits.

    For most people, summer holidays mean sun, sea and sand, {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. She had a holiday full of ice and snow. She and her family travelled across Greenland! Starting just above the Arctic Circle (北极圈), Sarah's family used dogsleds with kites to cross the world's biggest island.

    Sarah says {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. "There is only snow, ice, and more snow. " The family travelled 15 miles a day for 22 days, moving faster when strong winds pushed along their kites.

    Then the weather became a bit hot for the dogs to pull sleds during the day, {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. The Landrys lived in tents, ate dried food, and took baths with heated water. When they weren't travelling, they played with kites and made snowmen. Using their mobile phones, the family could send and get emails even from Greenland's ice cap! The road to the top was icy and dangerous.

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. "Icebergs (冰山) were so bright, just like the rising sun." said Sarah. Now she and her family have returned home, {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. Next holiday, they are going to the South Pole.

Sam and his friend, Bob, both entered a painting competition. Bob won the {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(one)prize!

When Sam got home, he told Papa, "I worked hard on my picture. I wanted to win." "You did," said Papa. "And {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(you) is a fine picture." Mama hugged Sam and said, "I hope you congratulated Bob." Sam {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(shake) his head, "Bob was too busy getting his photo taken." Then he went to his room. He felt like doing nothing. He got very bored soon. He wondered {#blank#}4{#/blank#} Bob was doing. He remembered the fun they had together. He decided to do something. He took out his painting tools {#blank#}5{#/blank#} some paper. He painted a picture with a ship in it. Under the ship, he printed in big {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(letter):C-O-N-G-R-A-T-U-L-A-T-I-O-N-S! That was the {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(big) word he knew.

Sam gave the picture {#blank#}8{#/blank#} Bob. "Thanks," said Bob. "I love ships. What is {#blank#}9{#/blank#} big word?" " Congratulations," said Sam.

"Wow!" said Bob {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(happy). "This is much better than getting my photo taken."

Friendship is much better than winning, isn't it?
