    "Face it, Andy. You sold your soul the day you put on that first pair of Jimmy Choo's." That line from the movie The Devil Wears Prada is an example showing how a shoemaker has become famous in the fashion world.

    Jimmy Choos (Zhou Yangjie) is a native Malaysian of Chinese origin (出身), born in 1961 into a family of shoemakers. He created his first pair of shoes at age 11. His family couldn't pay for his schooling, so he dropped out at a young age. He had to work with his father to support the family. But his dream to be a fashion designer never disappeared, so he did all he could to enter an art college and finally took up a position in the fashion world through his talent and willpower.

    Choo graduated from a college in London and had a small workshop there. He hit the international fashion scene when Vogue magazine described his designs in eight pages in 1988. His work was immediately popular and got love and support from Diana, Princess of Wales.

    Jimmy Choo shoes are known for their very high heels and pointed toes. However, he does some flats and lower-heeled shoes for other women. Choo co-founded Jimmy Choo Ltd. with Tamara Mellon, UK Vogue editor, but left the company in 2001.

    Jimmy Choo shops have opened around the world, so his designs are more accessible to those who want a designer shoe, and can afford his prices. Choo also has a website where shoppers can view his ready-to-wear designs. The brand of Jimmy Choo has been comparable to top brands, like Channel, LV, etc. But it's still young and has a bright future.

    We can't imagine how hard it is for Choo to stand out in the worldwide fashion! He must have made greater efforts and had more difficulties than others. And so he did. So stop complaining about why good luck isn't always falling on you and devote yourselves to your work now.

Once there were two little ducks, Quick and Quack. They didn't feel lonely, because they were good brothers and they often ate and played together.

One day, they hung out everywhere happily as usual. Soon they came to a big river. To show who swam faster, they decided to have a race. The two ducks swam quickly down to the river. Both of them knew the way very well. But Quack wanted to try a much quicker way. He knew that currents (水流) in the middle of the river were faster and they would help him.

However, their parents had told them never to swim in the middle of a river. Quack thought about it for a moment, but he finally decided to try it. "I'm old enough now to swim there," he thought.

It didn't take Quack much time to be the faster one. Suddenly, Quack was caught by a big whirlpool (漩涡). He wasn't strong enough to get away from it. Luckily, a cow passed by and saved him.

After that, Quack realized he should have followed his parents' advice.

There are some persons' plans for the coming summer. You are welcome to post yours!

A three-year-old boy's dream of flying like the Superman came true.

The boy is Luke Campbell. He's really 1 to see his dream come true. However, 2 unlucky about him is that he has serious heart disease（病）.He 3 going to hospital when he was just six years old. Now,even the doctors are not sure 4 he is able to live.

A charity（慈善机构） heard about Luke and5 to help him. When they asked him about his 6 ,he chose to fly as the Superman. It is because his7 always calls him "Mom's little superhero" or "Super Luke".

On that day,his mother helped him8 like Superman. With a rope and with a special machine（机器）,the charity made him 9 in the air just like the Superman. When Luke was flying, 10 smiled happily and said, "I'm flying on my own,aren't I?"

It was 11 to see him being so happy and enjoying himself,and there was no one there 12 .He 13 do anything he wanted.

His mother said, "The wish made Luke be a child for the day,away from 14 and doctors."

Luke isn't going to stay with his family forever（永远），15 he left a special day for them to remember.

"What's your favourite sport, Nick?" Ms Green asked. 

Nick thought for a moment. Everyone in the class was looking 1 him. He was nervous. He needed a good 2 . "I like football. "

Everyone smiled. A few people said, "I like3 too!"

That was a4 answer. Nick really liked hockey (冰球), but no one else in class 5 it. He wished he could be honest (诚实的),6 he worried about what they would say. They would say things like, "Hockey? Why? What is that?" They didn't know about it. 

Nick came from Maryland. All the kids there liked hockey. However, in Florida, kids loved football. He didn't really understand7 they didn't like hockey. 

His dad said, "Their families grew up8 football. They like football. We grew up watching hockey, so we like hockey. But why don't you 9 some kids to enjoy the hockey game? We can teach them."

Nick did that. He asked his friends Dave and Tommy. They knew 10 about hockey. They had 11 been to the game before. Dave and Tommy asked Nick lots of 12 about the rules and the teams. They thought the game was13 . All of them had fun. 

The next time Ms Green asked Nick what his favourite 14 was, he said, "Hockey."

Dave and Tommy smiled, "We like hockey too!" Nick was 15 that other people liked the things he liked. It made him feel like he had friends who understood him.

 When my grandma was young, she3 clumsy(笨拙的) in the village. But4 a cold winter night, she saw some beautiful red paper art works on her new neighbor's windows. She was so interested in it and decided 5 from her neighbor.
