I lived in a village ten years ago．There were no buildings．There were no cars．There was a small school near my village．I went to school on foot．People couldn't use the Internet．We often climbed mountains and went fishing．Now there are many new buildings．There is a new school near the village．Children go to school by bus．People often play computer games at home．

    My name is Xiaoming. I get up at half past six. I have breakfast at seven o'clock. I go to school at eight o'clock. I have lunch at twelve o'clock. I go home at four o'clock. I have dinner at five o'clock. I watch TV at half past six. I do my homework at seven o'clock. I go to bed at nine o'clock.

    It is 4:30 in the afternoon. School is over. Some children are in the playground. Look! Lily and Jenny are talking under the tree. Sam, Bob and Amy are playing a game. Frank and Jill want to join them. Sam says," OK. Please take turns." Look at the girl near the garden. She is Kate. She is reading a book quietly.

Air Jordan

    Michael Jordan (1963- ) is one of the most famous basketball players in the world. He was born in Brooklyn (布鲁克林), New York. He didn't like to talk about himself. He was also very short. He didn't play very well when he joined the basketball team in his high school at first. But the next year things changed greatly for him, as he grew much taller.

    Michael Jordan became famous when he joined the university basketball team in North Carolina (北卡罗来纳州). Michael used his quickness and strength to reach the basket again and again. He played so well that people call him Air Jordan. After college, Michael became a member of the Chicago Bull basketball team. The NBA was very surprised at this high-flying player. He was named Rookie of the year in 1985 and the most Valuable Player in 1987. He once set a record by getting 63 points in one game.
