    Tu Youyou, an 84-year-old scientist, became the first female (女性) Chinese to win a Nobel Prize in science on Oct,5. She shared the 2015 Nobel Prize for medicine because of the new medicine for malaria(疟疾). Tu started the research in the 1970s that made her find artemisinin(青蒿素), a kind of medicine that has saved many people's lives. It comes from Chinese traditional medicine and now is a good way to treat malaria.

    When the news came that Tu was given the prize, there were cheers as well as questions. Some said that her achievement(成就) was the result of lots of Chinese scientists working together. So it is unfair to give the prize only to Tu.

    However, Tu was awarded for “three firsts”. She was the first to bring artemisinin to her team, the first to extract(提取) artemisinin that can stop malaria, and the first to finish the experiment.

    Giving prizes to scientists with great ideas is the best way to keep national innovation(创新).

    I'm going to the sun for my holiday. I will go there by spaceship.

    I will take a big blue spaceship. Then I'll take the spaceship to the sun. The sun is very hot. So I put on the super shirt. In the morning, I will have some sun burgers fo r my breakfast. At eight o'clock, I will play with my friends there. They are a super dog and a super girl. The super dog is white and black. The super girl is very clever. The super girl and the super dog like to play with me. So I play with them for an hour and a half. Then I will do my homework on a small blue table. After finishing my homework, I will have my lunch. I will eat sun salad. I will have red juice, red fish and red rice. All things are red. Then I need a lot of water because the sun is too hot. Then I will walk to the spaceship. After that I will take the spaceship to the earth.

   This is a good holiday on the sun.

    I am a karate (空手道) player. I still remember my first karate competition. Like other players, I was very excited about my event. I watched every player's techniques (技巧) so that I could carefully avoid their movements.

    Somehow I got into the semi-finals. In the semifinals, I got injured. I still didn't give up and got into the final. After all, getting the gold medal was my dream.

    In the final competition, there were no supporters on my side, as I was a new face. Instead, the crowd was cheering for my opponent. I could hear only my opponent's name.

    I ignored the crowd's cheering. I kept one thing in mind: focus, wait and attack. I had confidence in myself, and I knew that no matter how strong my opponent was, I had to do my best and fight well.

    When the time was up. I was leading with a3 -0 score. One thing I learned from that event is no matter how strong your opponent is don't think you are weak or strong. Just give your best shot, and you will make your way to success.

    Win or lose, you will learn from every step you take.

How did you spend your summer holiday last month? I'd like to tell you 1 happened to me during my holiday. 

My 2 planned a relaxing and happy trip. We didn't need to keep up with our work and studies. On the first day, 3 we started out for Shanghai, we saw on TV that the traffic was heavy. So my parents 4 not to drive our car but to take the bullet train(高速火车) to Shanghai. It was the first time that I had ridden on the bullet train, so I was really 5 .

On the way, an American girl sat next to me and I talked to her. She told me that she came here for a short stay—her father came to China on business. In one year he would 6 to his company in the US. "How are you getting along here?" I asked. "Pretty good. I 7 the life here. China is a beautiful and great country. Besides, Chinese people are pretty 8 , "she said. Hearing that, I felt proud that I'm Chinese! With new friends around, the girl still missed her friends in the US very much. "It doesn't matter. I could always connect with them by writing letters and emails or making phone calls, " she said with a sweet9 . It was so great for her to be able to go through life in10 countries and cultures. I hope I can experience different cultures in other countries some day. 

Two months ago, Kate finished middle school. She left her hometown and came to the city. Her aunt helped her find work in a factory. It was small and offered {#blank#}1{#/blank#} rooms to the workers. She wouldn't drop it {#blank#}2{#/blank#} it was difficult for her to find another job there. She had to find a room for {#blank#}3{#/blank#} ( she). As she didn't have enough money, she had to rent one outside the city. It was about half an hour by bus. The farmer and his family lived on the first floor. They rented all the others on the second and {#blank#}4{#/blank#} ( three) floors to the workers. So they built an attic(阁楼) on {#blank#}5{#/blank#} of the building for the girl. It was low and small. She couldn't {#blank#}6{#/blank#}( easy) go to sleep in the hot night. She had to stay in it, hoping {#blank#}7{#/blank#} ( find) a better room one day.

A month later, Kate went to pay the farmer for the rent. She found hers was the {#blank#}8{#/blank#} of all the boarders(房客). It made her feel strange and she asked," My room is the smallest and the lowest, you know. But why do I have to pay more rents than any other boarder, sir?"

At first the farmer didn't know {#blank#}9{#/blank#} to answer her. He thought and thought and at last he said," Nobody {#blank#}10{#/blank#} ( use) all our steps except you."
