One day after school Mr. Tillman found Philo Farnsworth making drawings on the blackboard in the school-room.
“What are you doing?” Mr. Tillman asked with interest. “ What are these drawings?”

“I want to invent things,” Philo answered, “and these are drawings of my first inventions.”
Mr. Tillman smiled to himself, “What is your invention?”
“I have an idea for a way of sending pictures through the air,” The boy answered. “Please just let me tell you about it. You are the only person who can understand what I have done.”
In 1922, even radio was new. The United States had fewer than 30 radio stations. But in 1922, a boy of 16 showed his teacher drawings for television!
In 1926, Philo worked as an office boy in Salt Lake City. Many important businessmen came into the office where he worked. One of these, George Everson , was from San Francisco. Like Mr. Tillman, Everson soon became interested in Philo. The shy, hard-working boy was like other office boys who Everson had known.
One evening Everson asked Philo to have dinner with him. After the meal, Philo began talking about his idea for Television. At first, Everson was not much interested in the invention. He listened only to be polite.
Many years later, Everson wrote a book telling about that evening with Philo. “As Farnsworth talked, he seemed to change,” Everson wrote, “His eyes lighted up , and he was no longer shy.” Talking freely about his invention, Philo Farnsworth was no longer an office boy--he was a scientist.
At the end of the evening, Everson was more interested than ever in Philo. And he was also interested in Philo's idea for television.
After talking with Philo , Everson returned to San Francisco. There he brought together a number of important businessmen . Philo told them about his invention. The men became so interested in the young inventor that they gave $25,000 to help him work on his idea. Philo was only 20 years old, but here was his chance.

    One day an American went to a small town in South America for his holidays. Few people went there because it was far away from the cities. He fell ill（生病） and wanted very much to see a doctor.

    The American went to find out how he could find a fine doctor there. A man told him, "That's very easy. If there is a patient（病人） that a doctor can't cure（治愈）, the doctor has to put a balloon over his clinic（诊所）. "

    The American thought, "The fewer balloons are, the finer the doctor is." He began to look for the finest doctor along the street. First he found a clinic. There were 20 balloons. After a few minutes he found another one-30 balloons. He thought neither doctor was fine.

    At last he found the third clinic. Only 5 balloons were there. He was very happy and went in.

    "Wait a minute," said the doctor. "I'm too busy, you know. This clinic opened only yesterday." The American was very much surprised（感到吃惊的） and said to himself, "Where can I find the finest doctor?"

One morning the Smiths all wanted to eat something, but there was only one piece of cake. Everyone thought (认为), "____".

Dad said Grandpa should (应该) eat it. He was old. He took the plate (盘子) to Grandpa.

Mum said Grandma should eat it. She did housework every day. She got the plate from Dad. Mia got the plate from Mum. She said that grandparents and parents should eat it. Her mother was very surprised (吃惊的), but then she was very happy.

Grandpa said Mia should eat it. He said she was very cute in the family. He took the plate to Mia.

Hearing what Grandpa said, they all thought Mia should eat it. But Mia couldn't eat it. She didn't want to take the plate.

Then the cake dropped (掉) on the floor. Bruno, a dog caught it in his mouth (嘴). He liked it a lot.

Then, Mia had an idea. The family went out, for ice cream, but they didn't take Bruno.

Classic books never go out of fashion. The Outsiders first came out in 1967. Even though the book is old, it is still worth reading. It is written by the US writer S. E. Hinton. 

The book tells the story of a 14-year-old boy called Ponyboy Curtis. He struggles with right and wrong in a society where he believes he is an outsider. The story took place in Oklahoma, the US, in the 1960s. 

In the book, the children are divided into two groups. One includes Curtis and Greasers, which is mostly made up of poor kids. They have longer hair and often smoke at a young age. The other group is called the Soes, which is made up of rich children. They wear expensive clothes and drive high-tech cars. Those two groups do not get along well. 

I was touched by the friendship among the boys. When any of them had a problem, the others would help. Although they are not well educated(教育), they are kind and brave. For example, when Johnny was hurt and in hospital, his friends visited him almost every day. They brought him food and told him interesting stories. I always dreamed of having kind and strong friendships like this. 

This book shows the beautiful personalities(人格) of those ordinary people. I advise that teenagers read this book and I hope they can enjoy it. 

When the host announced that my choir(合唱队) won the second place of the World Choir Game,I couldn't believe what I heard. All the1 that we made was worthwhile(值得的). Through this unforgotten experience,I 2 much.

 In the semi-finals(半决赛), we were supposed to sing 3 songs. When we played the third song, I suddenly heard an unexpected 4 —a girl in the alto(女低音) got quick. The other students in the alt o were 5 by the girl and were getting quicker and quicker. Our choir's leader, Mrs. Li noticed it and 6 used her hand to keep time, but she7 .

 After the song, the smile on Mrs. Li's face froze and some of our members turned and tried to find the person who first got 8 . My mind was blank (空白的), but quickly I realized the only. thing we could do was to9 the performance. Then with a smile, Mrs. Li became a conductor again, who seemed to have completely forgot10 we had done. We sang the last song as usual.

 After the competition I was11 . Just because of one person's fault(过错), the whole choir must afford the fact that we might lose the game. I cried, but then I found nothing would change no matter how hard 12 blame(谴责) the girl who played poorly. Therefore, I came to her, encouraged her, and practiced the whole melody with her. In the finals, we got the medal because of our13 performance.

 Never blame a person when she makes a mistake, but help her to14 the problem when you are struggling(奋斗) towards the same goal. No matter what you will experience with others in the future, successes or failures,15 or tears, these will surely become your treasure and memory.
