After a hard campaign, Barack Obama won the US president election on November 4. He will become the 44th President of the United States—the first African-American in the country's history.
On the election eve, Obama's grandmother died—only a few days before seeing her grandson's victory. Tears ran down the face of Obama as he spoke about his grandmother. “She taught me about hard work.She was the one who put off buying a new car or a new dress for herself so that I could have a better life. She poured everything she had into me.”
In his first speech as the president, Obama declared to tens of thousands of cheering supporters, “…The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year, or even one term, but America—I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there. I promise you: We as a people will get there…” The crowd broke out into the same chant(咏唱，吟诵), “Yes, we can!”Those three short words have become the defining phrase of Obama's campaign.
Forty-five years ago, Martin Luther King had a dream of an America where men and women would be judged not by the colour of their skin but by the content of their character. Today the dream has come true.

     A farmer had a cow. He took very good care of this cow and one day when it was ill. He was very worried. He telephoned the vet (兽医).
“What's the problem?” The vet asked him when he arrived.
“My cow is ill.” the farmer said. “I don't know what's the matter with her. She's lying down and won't eat. She's making a strange noise.”
    The vet looked over the cow. “She's certainly ill, ” he said, “and she needs to take some very strong medicine.”
    He took a bottle out of his box, put two pills into his hand and said, “The pills should make her better.”
“How should I give them to her?” the farmer asked.
    The vet gave him a tube (管子) and said,“Put this tube in her mouth, then put the pills in the tube and blow. That'll make it.”
    The next day the vet came to the farm again. The farmer was sitting outside his house and looked more worried.
“How's your cow?” the vet asked.
“No change,” the farmer said. “and I'm feeling very strange myself.”
“Oh?” the vet said. “Why?”
    “I did what you said,” the farmer answered. “I put the tube in the cow's mouth and then put two pills down it.”
“And?” the vet asked.
“The cow blew first.” the farmer said.

David walked down the street. All he wanted to do was to play basketball with Jim. But his mother told him to return his sister's books to the library on his way to Jim's house.

In his eyes, books and summertime just don't go together. He thought he had read a lot during the school year. And he had never set foot inside a public library. Today he'd just drop the books off in the outside return box, but it was locked. He had to go inside to return them.

David walked inside the building a few minutes before closing time. He put the books into the return box. After a quick drink of water and a short stop in the toilet, he'd be on his way to meet Jim. He walked out of the toilet. The library lights were turned off. He was locked — in a library.

David tried to use the telephone, but he couldn't find one. As the sun began to set, he searched for a light and found a little one on the desk. He used a pencil to write a note on a big piece of paper. It read," I'm locked inside. Please call for help." He put it on the front door. Surely, someone passing by would see it. He then turned his attention to the library itself.

He was surprised to discover that this place was not so bad. Rows and rows of books! When he saw a book about Michael Jordan on the desk, he picked it up. He opened the book and began to read. He felt that being locked in the library didn't seem to be such a terrible thing.
