By the time Rihanna was seventeen, she had released(发行)her first album and had an international hit with her first single(单曲)Pon de Replay.

    Rihanna was born in Saint Michael, Barbados in 1988.She grew up there with her two younger brothers. As a child, she loved singing. She formed her first group with two friends from secondary school when she was just fifteen. In 2004 her friends introduced the group to American record producer Evan Rogers, who was on holiday in Barbados. Rogers thought Rihanna could be a big star in America, so she moved there aged sixteen to take up music after she finished school. Rihanna lived with Rogers and his wife. Then she worked for Def Jam Recordings and started working on her first album, Music of the Sun. It came out in 2005 and got into the top ten. Over 69,000 copies of the album were sold in the first week alone. It went on to sell over two million copies worldwide and Rihanna quickly became a big star. Her second album, A Girl Like Me, came out a year later and included the song SOS, which was her first number one hit in America. In 2007 Rihanna brought out her third album, Good Girl Gone Bad, which had more dance music than the first two albums.

    Rihanna sold more than fifteen million albums and forty-five million singles worldwide between 2005 and 2010, the most of any artist at the same time. However, she manages to find time for her charity work, too. She has performed in several concerts to raise money for charity and in 2006 she created her Believe Foundation to help sick children. She also took part in Gucci's activities to raise money for children in Africa.

Michelle, a famous lady, has found that more than 25% students are too fat in her country. It is a very serious problem. So she starts a Health Program to deal with it. The Health Program is to reduce the number of fat students today and in the future.

The program will get families, schools, newspapers, magazines and TVs to join together and deal with the students'obesity so that students will be at a healthier weight.

The program includes: Food stores should sell healthier foods; schools should arrange(安排) healthier meals without too much fat and more gym classes.

The lady is trying to fight the students' obesity all over the country because it can cause illnesses and high food cost. She wants the students to eat right, exercise more and control their weight. She also wants the students to understand it is important to have less sweet food and drink water, milk and fresh juices, but not to choose cokes. At the same time, she has also set a good example by planting a vegetable garden. She hopes that the garden will encourage more people to plant one, too.

The Health Program is really meaningful to the students today and in the future. As she says, "We can't always build the future for the young, but we can build the young for the future."

It's 12 o'clock. A young man goes into a fast food restaurant for1 . Many people are in the restaurant.

"Can I2 you?" a waiter (服务员) asks.

"Yes, I'dlike a3 and some fish, please," says the young man.

"Would you like4 to drink?" asks the waiter.

"Yes, a glass of5 ," the young man says.

"Do you want to take them away(把……带走)?" asks the waiter.

"Yes," says the young man.

The young man6 some money(钱) to the waiter for his lunch and the waiter puts the food into a bag. Then the young man goes away7 the bag. In the office ，the young man finds8 money is in the bag. "Oh! It's the money for my lunch," says the young man. He goes9 to the restaurant. He doesn't want to get his lunch for10 . He is a kind young man.

 This summer, when I walked into my grandparents' house with my little sister Nancy, I tried not to look at my Grandpa's chair. It still looked the same. His blue1 was there, just like he was going to pull it over his legs. My cousin Jack was playing in the yard just like 2 happened. "Let' s go to catch fish!" Jack said when he was 3 the fish net(网) from the corner, Grandpa's net.

 Last summer,I was holding the net when Grandpa asked me to help 4 teach Nancy to play chess. I said no because I wanted to catch fish. Grandpa always took us to catch fish, but then the5 stopped him.

 Now I wouldn't have chance to play chess with him again. I6 saying no to Grandpa and felt sorry.

 When we got to the river, we began to catch fish. Suddenly, Jack shouted, "Nancy is shaking!" We didn't bring anything to keep warm 7 I had to take her home.

 Grandma was worried to see a wet Nancy and8 put Grandpa's blue coat around her. As I went to the river again to meet Jack, I looked back at Nancy with that old coat. Something seemed to hit me9 that moment. Everything was just like before, but Grandpa was gone.

I walked to Nancy. "Did Grandpa teach you to play chess last summer?" I asked. "No, Grandpa was too sick." she said, "I miss him."

"Me too." When I said it, I knew Grandpa was never gone. Something 10 was still there. It could be the fish net. It could be the chess. It could be the blue coat.

"Aly, I know you took the money." 

"I didn't take the money, Grandma. 1 you love me, you should believe me."

Her anger came from a deep place. 2 her would only cause her anger to rise. So I tried a different way.

"I love you, Aly. I don't understand3 you took my money, but I want you to know you don't have to4 from me. When you love someone, you share what you have. You can keep the money you took, and I will also give you anything else you want. What else do you need?"

She 5 me, "I didn't take your money! I don't want your things!" 

I went to the kitchen and picked up my6 cup. "It is one of my favorite cups." I put7 on the table in front of her. "You can have this cup." She looked surprised.

Then I started gathering other things and placing them before her. "Take this ring. Take this scarf. Take this..."

She said, "No, Grandma, no. Stop it!" But I 8 putting others on the table. As the things grew, the fire left her eyes, her9 dropped, and then her thin shoulders began to shake with crying. Only then did I stop and put my arms 10 her. "I love you, Aly. Just ask me for what you want but no stealing."

She didn't admit guilt(认错), but the money11 again. Aly didn't change12 , but she did change. Aly is a high school student now, and an almost straight A student. She has learned to13 people's feelings. She is smart and funny sometimes. I am so proud of the wonderful young woman she has become.

Now I can leave any money lying around. I know14 that she will not take it. She has not stolen from me since that first time. Sometimes, 15 is the best punishment you can give a child.
