Phil White has just returned from an 18,000-mile, around-the-world bicycle trip. White had two reasons for making thisepic journey. First of all, he wanted to use the trip to raise money for charity, which he did. He raised £70,000 for the British charity, Oxfam. White's second reason for making the trip was to break the world record and become the fastest person to cycle around the world. He is still waiting to find out whether he has broken the record or not.

   White set off from Trafalgar Square, in London, on 19th June, 2004 and was back 299 days later. He spent more than 1,300 hours in the saddle (车座) and destroyed four sets of tyres and three bike chains. He had the adventure of his life crossing Europe first, and then the Middle East, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and finally the Americas. Amazingly, he did all of this with absolutely no support team. No jeep carrying food, water and medicine. No doctor. Nothing! Just a bike and a very, very long road.

   The journey was lonely and desperate at times. He also had to fight his way across deserts, through jungles and over mountains. He cycled through heavy rains and temperatures of up to 45 degrees, all to help people in need. There were other dangers along the road. In Iran, he was chased by armed robbers and was lucky to get away with the little money he had. The worst thing that had happened to him was having to cycle into a headwind on a road that crosses the south of Australia. For 1,000 kilometers he battled against the wind that was constantly pushing him. This part of the trip was slow, hard and depressing, but he made it in the end. Now Mr. White is back and wants to write a book about his adventures.

I am Frank. I lost my pencil box this morning. I look for it everywhere but I can't find it. So I ask my friend Linda for help. She doesn't know where it is. She says I can go to the lost and found box in the library to find it. After lunch, I go to the library.

I meet my classmates Lucy and Bob there. Lucy lost her ID card and Bob lost his soccer ball in P.E. class and they found them in the lost and found box. When I get to the lost and found box, I see Mrs. Wang there.

I ask, "Excuse me, Mrs. Wang, is my blue pencil box here?"

"Here are two blue pencil boxes. What's in your pencil box?" she asks.

"There is a black pen, a red pen, a yellow pencil, an eraser ... And there is a photo of my family. My parents, my sister and I are in the photo." I say.

"Let me see. This is yours. Here you are." Mrs. Wang says.

"Can I know who hands(交) it in here? I want to thank him / her," I ask.

"A student does. But I don't know the name."

I say "Thank you very much" to Mrs. Wang and get my pencil box from her. I say to myself, "I must help others(别人), too."

There are two young brothers, Simon and Pedro. They dream of going to university. They want 1 engineers. There is one problem. They come from 2 poor family in a small town. It is far from any university. The only one way to solve the problem is that one of 3 works first. So he can pay for4 going to school. Therefore, they flip a coin. Simon won, but he said, " I can't go. You are much5 than me!" But Pedro let him go.
