    Sometimes good things come in pairs. Perhaps no one knows it better than Shin Lim. After winning season 13 of America's Got Talent last September, the Canadian-Chinese magician won America's Got Talent: The Champions again not long ago. Fifty winners from past seasons around the world took part in The Champions, Lim became the final winner with his amazing card tricks.

    Lim was born in Vancouver, Canada in 1991. When he was 11. his family moved to Massachusetts, USA and he grew up there. The boy was interested in music and started piano training at 9 and didn't begin doing card tricks until he was 16. When watching his brother do card tricks, young Lim fell in love with it, a late start for a future professional. He taught himself from You Tube, a popular video-sharing website and later began giving performances there from time to time.

    In college Lim studied the piano. Unluckily, an illness led him to decide between music and magic. Finally, he chose to stick with his passion in magic. He spent all the time practicing card tricks. To make card magic more artistic he brought music to nearly all his tricks while he stayed silent during his show. His hard work paid off. Before winning AGT, he won many international prizes." He's incredible," the host Terry Crews said. "I was trying to catch what he was doing. I was watching cards disappear in his hands and I was like what in the world You know it's a trick, but he was fooling me every time."

I always think my daughter Kendall is the best. When she was only three, she 1  for the people, like a little angel.

When Kendall was five, we noticed that she 2  had a tic(抽搐). When the problem got worse, we took her from doctor to doctor. During the treatment(治疗), Kendall kept on singing. 3  , her tics disappeared when she sang.

When Kendall was sixteen, we thought she would be cured (治愈) soon. However, a(n) 4  thing happened.

At a party, Kendall jumped on Jim for a piggyback ride. But he bent lower than she thought and she jumped higher than 5  thought. Kendall flew over his back and landed on the floor—on her neck. People sent her to 6  immediately, and she became paralysed (使瘫痪) from the neck down. She couldn't 7  . But to my daughter, the biggest 8  wasn't whether(是否) she would walk again, but was whether she could take part 9  a famous show.

As the days went on, feeling on her left side 10  , but she was still paralysed on the right side of the body. One day, a friend 11  with a microphone(麦克风) and put it on her bed. Every day, Kendall tried hard to pick it up. It was more 12  for her to pick up that microphone than a spoon or a fork.

Sometimes she had to bite a toothbrush to take her mind off the 13  . We all cried because of the pain we saw. But on the day —only three months after her accident — we cried with joy when she sang, 14  she didn't enter the Top of the show.

When she was a little girl, she asked," 15  me?" My heart hurt, but I told her,"Kendall, you have a pure heart, a fantastic voice and a strong mind. You're everything to me."

Dogs are my father's favorite animal. He likes to watch the movies about dogs, and he also enjoys reading {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (小说) about them. 

He used to keep a pet dog for over five years. Unluckily, the dog was {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(死的) in an accident in order to save him. It was a big shock to my father. Whenever the word "dog" was {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(提到), his face turned pale. He became so silent. I was worried and wondered how to cheer him up.

Have you ever read the cartoon books The Adventures of Tintin? There are many stories in the books. Each is about an exciting trip of a young reporter named Tintin. When Tintin is on the road, his best friend, a dog named Snowy, is always by his side. Sometimes the two travel around the world. Sometimes they go with their friends.

Tintin, Snowy and their friends aren't real. But thanks to the writer, Georges Prosper Remi, they look quite real.

 Born on 22 May 1907, Georges Prosper Remi was a famous cartoon writer and an artist from Belgium.From an early age, he liked to draw pictures very much. Later he created a new name for himself. It was Herge. From then on, he always signed his works not with his real name—Georges Prosper Remi, but with this new name—Herge.

The series first came out in French on 10 January 1929. Herge thanked French illustrator(插图画家) Alain Gree so much. Once Herge travelled to Paris to meet Alain Gree and asked for some advice. Then the two became good friends.

In 1979, Herge got a serious illness. Later his illness became more and more serious. Herge died on 3 March —1983. His death received front— page coverage in many newspapers. Although Herge passed away, his works are still loved by people from all over the world.
