Hillary is one of the most famous women in America. Born in 1947, she lived a happy childhood. Her parents were open to anything that interested her. But they were also strict with her. When young Hillary got A grades at school, her father said the school must have been too easy. When she ran home from a bad school boy, her mother wouldn't let her in. “Go back and face up to him. There is no room in the house for a coward（懦夫）！”

Years later, young Hillary put all of her energy into politics（政治）. As a student leader, she often discussed and researched social problems. In 1969, Hillary entered Yale Law School, where she met Bill Clinton. The two soon became partners in political activities and the journey of love.

Even after Bill was elected（选举）as president in 1992, Hillary didn't want to just be the president's wife. She worked on US healthcare. However, she was not popular with those against her husband. At that time, some people said she was too interested in politics. But Hillary kept her head held high, When she takes on a project, she works tirelessly until it is completed,”said Betty Lowe, an ole friend of the Clintons. "It's that kind of determination（决心）that will help her win the White House."She has made a decision that she will take part in the election of the next president in 2016。

       Weddings are important in every country, and there are different wedding customs in different countries. In western countries the bride's (新娘的) dress—her wedding dress—is very important. Some brides wear a new dress. Some brides wear the dress their mothers or even their grandmothers wore at their weddings.

       Some people believe the bride should wear something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. She may wear an old ring and will usually have new shoes. She may borrow something to wear from a friend, and the ring on her finger may have a blue jewel in it or some of her clothes may be blue.

       Many married people in western countries wear a ring to show that they are married. They wear the ring on the fourth finger of their left hands.

       At the wedding, as soon as the man and the woman are married, their friends often throw rice or very small pieces of paper over the couple. They believe this will bring them good luck and that they will have many children. The bride often carries flowers, and after the wedding she throws them up in the air. People believe that the woman who catches the flowers is lucky enough. The bride and the groom (新郎), their friends and family then have a party. After that the bride and the groom go on holiday together. This holiday is called "the honeymoon".

    Mayme Clayton collected books, magazines and letters written by African Americans. Her son, Avery Clayton, thought her collection was important. Unlike most books, these were rare and hard to find. They were written by writers who helped shape African American culture.

    One book in the collection was written by Phillis Wheatley. Wheatley was a slave who wrote poetry. She was the first African American to publish a book. Wheatley herself signed (签名) the book in the Claytons' collection. No one else owns a copy signed by Phillis Wheatley.

    By the time she passed away at age 83, Mrs. Clayton had more than 30,000 books by or about black people. Her collection also includes papers about slaves, photographs, movies, sheet music, and personal letters by black leaders and artists. It is one of the biggest personal collections of African American history and culture in the United States.

    Avery Clayton's dream was to create a museum for his mother's treasures.  Scholars say that Mrs. Clayton's collection is very important. Without her work, part of African American heritage (遗产) would have been lost. "We didn't know these things existed," says Sara Hadron of California's Huntington Library.

    The collections new home is likely to be in Culver City, California. Part of Avery Clayton's dream is to share the cultural riches his mother collected with others. He especially wants children to have a chance to see the collection. " At present African American culture is being explained by pop culture," he says, " It's important to offer a more complete picture."

    Bikes and cars are two important things. Many Chinese people have cars now, but most Chinese people still like to ride bikes. Do you know why?

    We all know that the bike can't go quickly, but it's easy for people to buy and ride it. As for the car, it needs too much money.

    Most Americans live far from the center of cities or their working places. So they need cars to go shopping or go to work every day. Most Chinese people live near their working places, so they don't need cars to go to work. And it's good for the environment(环境) if people stop driving. So there is a day called “No-Car Day” on September 22^nd every year.

    For me, I like to go to school by bike. It is easy and healthy.
