Boys and girls, do you like shopping? When and where do you like to shop? Let's meet Millie, Kitty and Amy together and listen to their ideas.

    My name is Millie. I'm 25 years old. I'm a volleyball player. I like shopping very much, but shopping with my husband (丈夫) is not fun. When I'm free, I go shopping with my friends. I like to shop in some big shopping malls. I think they look very modern, and there are many kinds of wonderful things in them.

    I'm Kitty. I'm 20 years old. I'm an actress(演员). Because of my job, I often go shopping to buy some nice clothes. I never go shopping at the weekend because there are always too many people in shopping malls. I like shopping in some shops. There are many different styles of clothes in them.

    My name is Amy. I'm 14. I'm a middle school student. I seldom go to shopping malls because I have much homework to do every day. And I dislike to wait for a long time to pay the money. If I need something, my mother buys it for me. So I have more time to study. But I like shopping online. It's easy and interesting. Sometimes I buy some books online.

    Bethany Hamilton is a professional surfer (职业冲浪手) in America. Her parents are both surfing lovers. As a baby, Bethany liked to play in the water. She started surfing at the age of five. By thirteen, she had been one of the best teenage surfers in the world. Then the shark attack (鲨鱼袭击) happened.

    On the morning of October 31, 2003, Bethany and some friends decided to go surfing. The sky was clear, and the sun was shining. The 13-year-old surfing star was lying on her surfboard (躺在她的冲浪板上) with her left arm in the clear, blue water. Suddenly a five-meter shark appeared and attacked her. Bethany saw the water around her tum red. She held on to her board and the shark swam away -- but it took her left arm with it. Luckily, the shark attacked only once. It all happened so fast that she didn't even shout.

    In her mind, Bethany thought, "Get to the beach. Get to the beach." She started to swim with one arm. She shouted for help. Her friends didn't know about the shark attack -- they thought at first that she was joking. Then they saw the red water and quickly came to help. It took her about fifteen minutes to reach the beach. They called 911 and. Bethany got to hospital at last. Surprisingly, she was surfing again in a competition only ten weeks later. And less than a year after the shark attack, she won first place in a surfing competition in Hawaii.

    Computer are very popular now .People are talking about and using the Internet everywhere, but how many of us know the history of the Internet?

    Many people are surprised when they find out that the Internet was set up in 1960s. At that time, Computers were large and expensive. Computer networks didn't work very well. If one computer in the network broke down, then the whole network stopped. A new network system had to designed. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working, information could be sent through another part. In this way, the computer network system would keep working well all the time.

    At first, the Internet was only used by few people, but in the 1970s,it was used in school, hospitals and banks. However, computers were still expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. At the beginning of the 1990s, computers became cheaper and easier to use.

    Today it's easy to get online and it is said that millions of people use the Internet every day. Sending e-mails is more and more popular among students. The Internet has now become one of the most important parts of people's life.

    Last week, I had a great vacation to Hainan with my family. We had great fun playing in different places. On Monday, the weather was sunny and hot. We went to White Beach and swam in the water. On Tuesday, it was cloudy. We visited two museums. We saw a lot of things. On Wednesday and Thursday, It was rainy and windy. We walked around the city. We bought interesting things and ate some delicious food. On Friday, the weather was cool. We climbed mountains. We were very tired but felt very happy. I really enjoyed my vacation.

    Great white sharks in the Pacific Ocean. Wildebeest (角马)in Africa. Arctic terns(北极燕鸥) in the Atlantic. At first, these animals seem quite different. One swims, one walks, and the other flies. But they all have one thing in common, They all migrate(迁徙).

    Some migrating animals move to a place with a better temperature. Some go to find food or water. The groups travel as one, but during the trip, they face many different challenges.

    One challenge is distance. Some migrating animals take very long trips. For example, one great white shark swam from Australia to South Africa and back. In nine months, it swam about 20, 000 kilometers!

    Another challenge is finding enough food and water during the journey. For example, each Mali elephant needs over 200 liters of water each day. To get this, they need to go from one waterhole to another.

    Besides, migrating animals have to keep away from other animals that want to eat them. The zebra (斑马) has to avoid lions. Traveling as a group helps keep them safe. When one zebra is in trouble, the other members make a circle around it.

    By working as a group, migrating animals travel to live better lives.
