I have worked in Shenyang for two months. I seldom meet Westerners in the street. But on TV, I see many foreigners in Shenyang. I am a little lonely and I really hope to make friends with English speakers. Although I study Chinese hard, my Chinese is poor and I can't communicate in Chinese very well.
However, Chinese people usually smile and wave to me on the bus and at any other places. In the street, the most common conversation goes like this: A Chinese person, “Hello.”
I, “Hello.”
The Chinese，“Where are you from?”
“England.”
“Oh, I see!” and then if his vocabulary is exhausted(耗尽的), “Bye-bye”. This can happen five or six times on any trip around town. How I hope to see a Westerner at that time.

Alfred Nobel, the great Swedish inventor and industrialist, was born in Stockholm on October 21,1833,but moved to Russia with his parents in 1842, where his father ,Immanuel, made a strong position for himself in the engineering industry. Immanuel Nobel invented landmine and made a lot of money from the government during the Crimean War, but went bankrupt soon after. Then , the family returned to Sweden in 1859, where Alfred began his own study of explosives in his father's lab. He had never been to school or university but had taught himself, and by the time he was twenty, he became a skillful chemist and excellent linguist, speaking Swedish, Russian, German, French and English. He built up over 80 companies in 20 different countries. He was always searching for a meaning to life. He spent much time and money working on how to end the wars, and keep the peace between nations, until his death in Italy in 1896. His famous last will, in which he left money to provide prizes for outstanding work in physics, chemistry, physiology, medicine, literature and peace, is a memorial to his interests and ideas. And so, the man is remembered and respected long after his death.

The clock struck(敲) eleven at night. The whole house was quiet. Everyone was in bed except me. Under the strong light, I looked sadly at a huge pile（堆） of those trouble things
—books.
I was going to have my exam the next day. “When can I go to bed?” I asked myself. I didn't answer. And I could not. The clock struck twelve. “Oh, dear! Ten more books to read before I go to bed!” We students are the most wretched ones in the world. Dad does not agree with me on this. He did not have to work so hard when he was a boy.
The clock struck one. I was quite hopeless now. I forgot all I did learn. I was too tired to go on. I did the only thing I could. I prayed（祈祷）, “My god, please let me pass the exam tomorrow. I will work hard next time, Amen.” My eyes were so heavy that I could hardly open them. A few minutes later, with my head on the books, I fell asleep.

After a hard campaign, Barack Obama won the US president election on November 4. He will become the 44th President of the United States—the first African-American in the country's history.
On the election eve, Obama's grandmother died—only a few days before seeing her grandson's victory. Tears ran down the face of Obama as he spoke about his grandmother. “She taught me about hard work.She was the one who put off buying a new car or a new dress for herself so that I could have a better life. She poured everything she had into me.”
In his first speech as the president, Obama declared to tens of thousands of cheering supporters, “…The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year, or even one term, but America—I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there. I promise you: We as a people will get there…” The crowd broke out into the same chant(咏唱，吟诵), “Yes, we can!”Those three short words have become the defining phrase of Obama's campaign.
Forty-five years ago, Martin Luther King had a dream of an America where men and women would be judged not by the colour of their skin but by the content of their character. Today the dream has come true.

The class teachers thought that hobbies were important to children. So she encouraged all her students to have one, and sometimes she arranged hobby shows for their parents to see.

One morning, the teacher told the class to have a holiday and get their hobby things to school before 5 pm. A hobby show would be held the following afternoon.

So in the afternoon, the students with nothing to show did their lessons at school as usual, while the lucky ones had a holiday to go home for their hobby works.

When the afternoon lessons began, the teacher was surprised to see that Tommy was not there. "I don't believe Tommy has a hobby, "she thought. However, at a quarter to five, Tommy arrived with a beautiful collection of butterflies（蝴蝶）in glass cases. The teacher liked the samples（标本）very much and put them on a desk in the classroom. But, to her surprise, Tommy picked them up again and began to leave.

"What are you doing, Tommy?" she asked. "Those things must stay here until tomorrow afternoon. That's when the parents are coming to see them. "

"I know that, "answered Tommy, "and I will bring them back tomorrow, but my big brother doesn't want them to be out of our house at night. ""

But, aren't the butterflies yours?" asked the teacher.

"No, "answered Tommy." They are my brother's."

"But Tommy, you should show your own hobby here, not somebody else's!"

"I know that, "answered Tommy. What surprises her most was the answer. "My hobby is watching my brother collecting butterflies."

Chris Rock was born in the state of South Carolina in the United States. When he was a child, his family moved, and he grew up in a poor area in Brooklyn, New York.

As a teenager, Rock left high school and started telling jokes in comedy clubs in New York City. Even at age 18, Chris Rock was very funny. He told jokes about his family (his parents were very strict), and about growing up in Brooklyn in the 1980s. Many of his jokes were also about high school, which Rock says was terrible.

Famous comedians(喜剧演员) went to see Rock's performances. One comedian (Eddie Murphy) helped him get work on television and in the movies. Chris Rock still acts in movies, but he does not want to be a serious actor. For him, comedy is more important. It makes people laugh, but it can also make people think.
