The English writer, Richard Savage, once lived a very poor life in London. In order to make a little money, he wrote the story of his life. But the book did not sell well in the shops. Savage was living from hand to mouth. Because he didn't have enough food to eat, he became very ill. Luckily, a doctor came and looked after him. A few days later, after taking some medicine, he got well again.

    After a week or two, the doctor sent a bill to Savage for his visits, but poor Savage didn't have any money and couldn't pay it. The doctor waited for another month and sent the bill again. But still no money came. After several weeks, he sent it to him again asking for his money. In the end he came to Savage's house and asked him for the payment, saying to Savage, "You know I saved your life and I'm waiting for something from you."

    "I agree," said Savage," that you saved me, and to prove that I don't forget anything work. I will give my life to you. With these words, he handed him one of his books. The life of Richard Savage.

    Jane Goodall is a famous scientist. For more than 40 years, Goodall lived mostly in Tanzania in East Africa, studying chimpanzees(黑猩猩).

    As a young child, Jane Goodall was interested in animals. She grew up in the English countryside and was always climbing trees or riding horses.

    When Jane was 23, she got a chance to go to Africa. Even though she had never been to college, she got a job with a famous scientist named Louis Leakey.

    One day Louis Leakey said he needed a volunteer. He needed someone to go to a lake in Tanzania to study a kind of chimpanzees. Jane was excited.

    On July 16, 1960, she began her exploration(探索).At first, the chimpanzees ran away from Jane. But with the passing of time, they got used to her being around.

    Every day, Jane would follow the chimpanzees, taking notes on their behaviour. She learned many new things about chimpanzees. She watched how a chimpanzee made a tool. She learned how some chimpanzees became good leaders. She watched animals get angry and get upset. She wrote everything down so others would understand animals as she did. She learned that if you pay really close attention to animals, you will understand what they are "saying".

    Mary is an American girl. She is now in Beijing with her parents. Mary doesn't know much Chinese, but she is studying it. She often speaks Chinese with her Chinese friends. Sometimes they can't understand her, because she can't speak Chinese very well.

    It's Saturday morning. She goes out. She is walking in the street. She wants to go to the zoo to see the elephants and monkeys, but she doesn't know how to get there. She asks a Chinese boy the way. The boy can't understand her. Then she takes out a pen and a piece of paper. She draws an elephant on it, and shows the picture to the boy. The boy understands, and shows her the way to the zoo.

Dear Sir/Madam, 

My name is

Thank you very much! 

I didn't have any confidence（信心） in myself when I was young. That was because I was the strongest girl in my class but I had never been the{#blank#}1{#/blank#} kid among the classmates. But one thing changed me later.

 It was the first day of {#blank#}2{#/blank#} new school and I didn't know anyone. In the math class, the teacher explained a couple of problems to us and showed us how to deal with the similar problems. After solving the {#blank#}3{#/blank#} problem, she asked us to solve a problem by ourselves and write our answers on the whiteboards（白板） she gave us. Then we were {#blank#}4{#/blank#} to hold up our boards so that the teacher could see the answers. It seemed that everybody had the same answer except me. I could not {#blank#}5{#/blank#} crying because I was afraid that my classmates would laugh at me. The teacher came up to see{#blank#}6{#/blank#} was wrong. After looking at my answer{#blank#}7{#/blank#}, she said with a smile, "You are the {#blank#}8{#/blank#} one in the whole class that got the right answer." The moment I heard that, I started to smile. When the math class was {#blank#}9{#/blank#}, it was time for lunch. Everyone in the lunchroom was discussing how smart I was.

{#blank#}10{#/blank#}then, I have stopped doubting myself. I have also learned to believe in myself and feel sure of my abilities.
