Meiyu, born in 1991, is from Turkey(土耳其). She is the youngest child of her family. After high school, many people learned English or Japanese, but Meiyu decided to learn Chinese in university. She learned Chinese for four years in Ankara University in Turkey, and got her name Meiyu there.

Meiyu fell in love with Chinese after going to university. She became more interested after she knew more about Chinese history. In the beginning many people did not understand her decision. But they all said Meiyu had made a right choice when she graduated from university in 2013. Since then, more Chinese have been visiting Turkey. The trade between the two countries also requires Chinese-speaking people. ＂Speaking Chinese means more job opportunities.＂ said Meiyu.

Now Meiyu has been in Wuhan, China for about two years. Besides going on studying Chinese, she shows great interest in Chinese kung fu as well, so she spends her free time on kung fu training with her coaches. Not only can kung fu help improve her health, but she is also fascinated by the history and culture behind it. Meiyu said, ＂The more I know about China, the luckier I feel to have been here. But the truth is that fun and pain go together in the process of learning.＂

Meiyu will graduate in June this year. Her friends want her to stay in China, but her parents hope she can come back home. Meiyu thinks it is difficult to decide. ＂Even if I go back to Turkey, I will choose Chinese language education as my job,＂ said Meiyu.

"Today I will give you a special test," said the English teacher with a smile on his face.

All the students set up straight and 1 for the test to begin. The teacher began to give the test papers to all the students. After he handed out the test papers, he asked them to 2.

The students felt very strange to see that there was not a question but a black dot(圆点)in the centre of the paper. The teacher said with a smile, "I want you to 3 what you see there." At the end of the class, the teacher took all the students' papers and read the answers. All of them wrote about the black dot. After reading all the answers, the teacher said 4, "Here everyone only saw the black dot, but no one wrote about the white paper. "All the students listened without saying anything, because they were 5. they couldn't get good marks(分数). Then the teacher said, "Don't worry about 6 marks for this test I just want you to think about our 7. The white paper is like our life and the back dot in the centre of the paper is like the problem(问题)in our life. "

Our life is a 8 from God, with love and hope. But we just see the problems, and never see 9 things in our life. So we should take our 10 off our problems to see each moment life gives us.

I'm forty. I left school 22 years ago. I don't regret many things about my school days but there are a few things I wish I'd known earlier as a girl. So here is my list of three things I'd learned at school.

□As a young child you try many new things. If you fail, you try again until you learn. Then you start school where you are usually only praised for doing things correctly. So what happens? You stop trying new things in case you get it wrong. I always remind myself: I won't give up halfway until I make it.

□I always wanted to be the best and one way of feeling good about myself was to see how much better I was than others. There was only one problem with this. When I saw they were better than me, I felt terrible. Now I compare me with myself. I asked myself if I did things as well as I could.

□How much time do you spend worrying about the future? I used to worry a lot. Now I know most things you fear usually never happen. If they happen, then they will most often not be as bad as you expected. In 6 months you probably won't remember most of the things you worry about now.

Albert Einstein（1879—1955）

Early Life

Albert Einstein was born in 1879 in Germany. He was an extraordinary person since he wasborn. Einstein wasn't able to speak a word until three. He was always interested in things around and full of imagination. He loved watching things carefully and asked a lot of questions about them. His questions were often hard to answer for teachers. 

Schooling

Einstein started school in 1885. Though he did well in maths and science，he failed in many subjects like history，geography and languages. Einstein finished high school in Switzerland and entered a university in Zurich. He graduated（大学毕业）as a teacher of maths and physics in 1900. 

Scientific Work

After graduation，Einstein worked at the Patent Office. He spent much time studying physics. By 1909，Einstein had become a top scientist. Though he became successful in the field of science，he won the Nobel Prize for physics in 1921. 

Later life

Einstein kept at his research until he died in 1955. Scientists studied his brain after his death to see if there was anything special about it. However，there was no answer. 

Today，many famous scientists still think Einstein is the smartest man in the world. 

Camping is one of the most interesting outdoor activities. Last weekend, l had a camping trip to a hill  1 My teachers and classmates. We all enjoyed 2 Very much, Each of us brought something for the camping. Liu Tao had a box of chocolates(巧克力)and David had some  3 What did Nancy have? She had some apples, too. Helen had some fish and chicken. Mr. Green and Miss Li  4 two big tents(帐篷)and the cooking tools.

When we got to the camping place, it  5 almost l1 a. m. Our teachers tried to put up the tents first. And we students went to look for wood. Then we made a fire  6 food. We didn't  7 much choice on food, but we all thought it was delicious. After lunch, we took a rest. And then in the afternoon, we caught butterflies, looked for rare plants in the woods and went fishing by a river. In the evening, we held  8 party, singing and dancing around the campfire(篝火). At about ll p. m. , we went into the tents and slept soon 9 we were tired at that time. The radio said it would be rainy in the evening. Luckily, it didn't rain that night. The trip was  10 a wonderful experience.

It's a sunny day today. A hungry fox(狐狸) is walking on the grass and looking for food. Soon, he sees a fat chicken playing near a farm. He says to himself," Wow, great! This is my breakfast. It must be really delicious!" He comes up to the chicken and says," Good morning, Miss Chicken. I know you can sing very well. All my friends like your songs very much. Can you sing one for me?" The chicken is happy to hear that. She closes her eyes and begins to sing a song. At the moment, the fox sees that and takes her away quickly.

 On the farm, there are some farmers working. They see the fox and shout," Look! The fox is taking the chicken away." Hearing this, the chicken says to the fox," Mr. Fox, can you hear that? The people say you are taking their chicken away. Tell them I am your chicken, not their chicken." The fox opens his mouth and says," Yes, you are right." Then he shouts," This is my chicken, not your chicken." Just then the chicken runs away from the fox and flies into the tree.
