    Hello, everyone. I' m Nancy and I like reading. On road trips, I always take some books to keep myself busy. These are four of my favorite books.
    The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time

    This children's book is interesting, exciting, sad and happy all at the same time and makes you think seriously. It tells the story of a 15-year-old boy with autism (自闭症).The book opens a window into his world, his thoughts, his hopes and his dreams.

   Matilda

    It's now a film and show at the theater, but we can't forget the book. Matilda is about a cute little girl who is very clever and loves to read. She goes to school and meets the very scary Miss Trunchbull but thankfully makes friends with a kind teacher. The book will make you cry one moment and laugh the next.
    Charlotte's Web

    Charlotte's Web tells the story of friendship (友谊) between a pig and a spider (蜘蛛). It' s a simple story but it teaches us about love, fife and death (死亡). If you haven't read it, give it a try.
   The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

    I read the book, watched the film and listened to the tape. The exciting story happens in a place called Namia As you read it, you' ll feel like you're really there. You'll lose yourself in the adventures (冒险经历) of the four children and the characters they meet.

    Money makes the world go round. But money isn't anything when people don't know how to use it. And no one is better at using money than American investor(投资者)Warren Buffet. He is one of the richest men in the world.

    Buffet was born in Nebraska in the US in 1930. As a child, he loved making and saving money. He used to go door-to-door selling his own products(产品).

    After university, Buffet went on buying and selling shares(股票). Shares are small part of a company. He is good at predicting changes in companies. By 1962, he became a rich man. In 1990, he went one step further and became a billionaire(亿万富翁).

    In 2008, Warren Buffet became the richest man in the world. He has promised to give 99% of his wealth to charity(慈善) after he dies.

    When I was 13 years old, the doctor said that I had a kind of attention disorder. So when everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I couldn't.

    In my first class, Mrs Green asked us to read a story and then write on it within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, "Mrs Green, you see, I have attention problems. I might not be able to do that."

    She looked at me and said, "You are no different from your classmates, young man." I tried, but I didn't finish the reading. So I took it home.

    In my bedroom, it was so quiet and the story suddenly became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn't get much education. But Louis didn't give up. Instead, he invented a reading system which opened up a new world to the blind. Wasn't I the "blind" in my class, being made to learn like the "sighted (有视力的)" students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was no different from others. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up? I didn't expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs Green, so when it came back to me the next day with an "A" on it, I couldn't believe my eyes. At the bottom of the paper were these words, "See what you can do when you keep trying."

    After I finished college, I couldn't find a job in Los Angeles. At last I had to move to Las Vegas but left my family behind. I missed them all week, and I went home on most weekends to see them. I often rented a car because I would often have lots of problems on the way to Los Angeles or to Las Vegas if I drove my poor car.

    One time I decided to save money, and I drove my car. It got to California, but on the way back to Vegas it was broken. I didn't know what I should do. Then a middle-aged man drove up. He put in some coolant and repaired my car. He made it start soon.

    I gave him the $12 in my wallet, and he said he would use it for the next car. Then I knew that he was a mechanic who drove up and down the highway each weekend to help the drivers in trouble.

    Now fifteen years has passed, but I still think about what a great man he is.
