Skyscrapers are very tall buildings in a city. Looking up at them might make you dizzy (眩晕的). Skyscrapers are a .wonder, whether (不管) you are looking up or down.
How can the buildings be so tall? Something that happened during the 1880s made it possible. First, a man named William Jenney got the idea of using a steel frame to hold up the walls and floors (钢架支撑墙壁和地面) of a building Jenney s idea made it possible to build taller buildings so he is called the "Father of the American skyscraper" Second, the elevators (电梯)improved. That helped people go up and down the tall buildings more easily."
Back in the 1880s, Jenney s first tall building was 10 stories (楼层) high. In 2004, Taipei 101, at 101 stories high, became the tallest building in the world. But soon the Burj Khalifa in Dubai overtook it in 2010. The 828-meter building has 163 stories.
For example, Shanghai Tower in China, One World Trade Center in the USA, Abraj Ai-Bait Clock Tower in Saudi Arabia, etc. All of them are really wonderful, aren't they?

As Grade Nine students, we are as busy as bees. Every day we have to spend a lot of time finishing our homework, so we don't have much time to do sports. However, almost all the students realize the importance of exercise. We still try to spare time(课余时间) to do sports after school.
Tom (a 15-year-old boy from Class 9)
Doing sports is part of my life. As soon as the bell of the last class rings every day, I will be excited and rush out of the classroom to play football with my classmates in the football field. Playing football can help me keep healthy and always make me energetic(精力充沛的). In this way I can learn better later on.
Lucy (a 14-year-old girl from Class 6)
Rope skipping(跳绳) is my favorite sport. I often do it with my sister Lily. We want to take part in the school rope skipping competition(竞赛). So we practice it again and again so as to win the competition.
Jim (a 16-year-old boy from Class 2)
My dream is to be a professional runner. I usually train hard every day so that I can make my dream come true. Sometimes my parents are not happy. They say I spend too much time in running. But I never go running during the class. I do it after school. I don't think it has any bad effects on my study.
