The volunteers who brought the nine-year-old girl to the orphanage(孤儿院) knew little about her. They found her in the street which had been her home for many years. Her parents were unknown. They had left her long ago.

    At the orphanage, the girl was taught to read and write. There she also learned to be independent(独立). At twenty-one, she left the orphanage and began work as a secretary.

    And then, in 1975, she entered the Miss Hong Kong competition -- and won it. This was the turning point in her life. Now Mary Cheung was very popular in Hong Kong.

    Mary entered the competition because she was full of ambitions（抱负） and she wanted to show that orphanage girls could be something. Winning the competition gave her the chance to start a new life. This led her first into television and then to a business manager. When she was working as a manager, she had trouble with her reports. “My English just wasn't good enough.” she said. Fortunately, her husband helped her.

    Mary studied management at Hong Kong Polytechnic and graduated in 1980. She started her own company in 1995. But she was still working hard to develop herself. She then studied for a Fine Arts degree at the University of Hong Kong. Her ambition was to teach arts in Hong Kong. Since 1987, she has spent a lot of her time on photography. She has held several exhibitions of her work in many places, including China, New Zealand and Paris. She still found time, however, to work on TV and for charity, to write for newspapers and bring up her family.

    The girl from street has come a long way, but her journey is not finished yet.

    Like most of her friends, Georgie Sanderson has 24-houpa-day access(使用权) to technology through her mobile phone, iPod Touch and home computer. But the 15-year-old girl says she is too busy to spend her days on Facebook. She only uses it once or twice a day. "The 10th grade is busy, and I have to work hard. Even when I'm not studying, I have better things to do with my time, such as being outside or spending time with my friends," she says. Georgie has a part-time job. She watches TV for a while in the afternoon and she helps with the housework.

    Georgie's words prove the findings of a new report. According to the report, teenagers today are not completely dominated(支配) by technology, although they have been into a digital(数字) world. They spend most of their time on their homework, TV, part-time jobs, hobbies, sports, friendship or reading instead of playing or chatting on the computer. But the report also finds that mobile phones are important to teenagers. 95 percent of 18 year-olds have got one mobile phone, and 82 percent sleep with their mobile phones on and beside them all night.

    For Georgie, sleep is more important than texting others. Georgie is also careful about the use of IT. She says, "Social media is helpful, but it is so distracting(使人分心的). I only use it when I do need to use it."

    There is a new cartoon movie called Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. The story happens in a small American town. People there don't have enough food. They only have fish to eat. Luckily, an inventor comes to help people. Who is he? Read what he says: "Hi！I'm Flint. I'm an inventor. I invented a new machine to make food for our town. It changes water into food. It can make meatballs and hamburgers rain down. It can make whatever people want!"

    Flint has a monkey friend. He is very helpful. Read his self－introduction: "Hi, my name is Steve. I'm a monkey. I can talk with an animal translator. Flint invented it. I'm Flint's best friend. When he needs me, I'm a good helper. "

    What's more interesting is that there is a special weather reporter. She tells people when and where the food will fall down. Read what she says: "Hi, my name is Sam. I am a weather reporter. People love Flint's invention. They have a lot to eat. But it's raining bigger and bigger food pieces. The food can smash(砸烂) houses! Flint has to stop it."

    Will Flint stop the food rain? Go to see the movie and find out.

I'm Cameron Davis. I'm 13 and I've visited 45 countries. I have been travelling for as long as I can remember.

Before we left on our first trip, I was very nervous. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(在……期间) the trip, I noticed that if I didn't talk to others, I couldn't make any friends. On my travels I have tried a lot of new things, from {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(高山) biking in Whistle r to camel {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(骑行) near the Great Pyramid of Giza! When you travel to certain places, you start to learn about the different {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(文化). I learned to cook Pad Thai in Thailand, ate curries in India, and tried dumplings in China. I learned that food was great in different countries. My trips also {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (教) me how to become more independent. When we {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(计划) to travel, I always had to pack my own suitcase. Also, when we weretraveling I saw a lot of families that really had to depend on each other to live. Now we wash {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(餐具),make our own lunch and more. I don't love these chores but we have learned that this family is like four gears(齿轮); if one stops

{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(工作), it is harder for the other three.

The {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(最好的) thing that I've learned about traveling is that sometimes you will have to take risks. When I was in Vietnam,I was playing with a little boy when out of the blue, he bit me. I still have the mark!I learned that there are {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(都) good and bad risks. Take the good ones.

Trouble makes me grow

When talking about solving problems in my life, I' ll never forget my experience in Grade(Seven/ Eight/ Nine). 

In the seventh grade when my mother told me that I should join the golf team, I thought she was crazy. But as usual, my mother1 in the end. I played in the2 team in the seventh and eighth grade. Then, I became more and more interested in golf. 

The summer 3 high school came, I strongly wanted to join the golf team in high school. So, I spent nearly every weekend on the golf course （场地）4 that summer . This 5 relationship（关系） with my parents lasted for all my high school years. My parents thought that it was 6 the hours we spent together on the golf course, we became closer. 

It was clear to find7 is important in life when I walked around the golf course and looking up at the beautiful blue sky. My mom and I discussed my 8 about golf in the middle of the match. We 9 the future of our family. We shared such things as we would 10 do at home, where she is Mom and I am an annoying（烦人的） boy. On the golf course11 golf. 

Golfing becomes a part of my12 . In summer, I'm always on the golf course. There is 13 I love more than a perfect autumn morning, riding around in a golf cart（球车） with my dad. Golf makes me into the man I am today. Thanks to my mom14 that golf team. She was15 as usual.
