A boy who was cleaning shoes in the street said to a young man, “Let me clean your shoes.” The young man said, “No, thank you.”“You may pay(支付) me only one dollar for them.” Said the boy. But the young man refused(拒绝) again.
And then the boy told the young man that he would clean his shoes for nothing. The young man agreed to his, and soon one of his shoes became as clean as a new one. The man gave the other shoe to the boy, but the boy refused to clean it because he wanted the man to pay two dollars for his work. The young man refused to pay anything and went away.
But the dirty shoe looked so bad that he couldn't walk away. He had to turn back and gave the boy two dollars. In a very short time the other shoe became clean.

In 1961 Obama was born in Hawaii, US. His father is an African and his mother is a white American. He grew up in Indonesia and Hawaii.
When Obama was 10 years old, he was one of only three black students at his school in Hawaii. He felt very different from most other students. White girls wanted to touch his hair. A white boy even asked him what his father was.
“I lied to them that my father was a Kenyan prince（王子）. But I kept asking myself who I am,” said Obama.
However, 37 years later, the boy made history. Obama became the first black president（总统） in US history.
This unusual background（背景） made him wonder who he was. He once turned to alcohol (酒) to help forget this question.
With the help of his friends, Obama finally turned his life around at college. His hard work made him a star at Harvard. Later, he became only the third black senator (参议员) in US history.
“Obama's success has made Martin Luther King's dream come true. That is: A man should not be judged （判断）by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character,” wrote ABC news.

Emily opened the note and read， “Clue Number 1： Look inside the car.” She found a bone(骨头) for dogs and another note in the car.

“Clue Number 2： Look at the swing.” On the swing there was a bag of dog food with the third note.

Again she quickly read the note， “Clue Number 3： Look into the house.” Emily found a dog's leash(皮带) there.

The note on the leash asked her to go outside. There she saw a beautiful red doghouse.

Before she got there， a black puppy ran up to her. It had a note on it. The note said， “Happy Birthday， Emily.”

“Oh， such a cute dog!” she cried. She was so happy. “I will name her Happy， because she made me so happy today，” Emily said.

I am Steve. I was born and grew up in South Wales. My favourite place to play was out on the hills where my imagination had plenty of space to expand (拓展).

My family moved out of Wales when I was thirteen. I went to a new school. One of my subjects was

French. Because I had never learned any French, my teacher told me to sit in the corner and write anything

I was interested in. That's the time I started writing, just for myself, and I've been writing ever since.

I have always loved BIG IDEAS, and so I enjoy writing fantastic stories. And I also write horror (恐怖) stories. I think they are like the old fairytales (童话故事), and can teach you important things.

I am in my forties on the outside, twelve on the inside. I like rock music, Indian and Chinese food, and

I enjoy drinking. I live in a small village with my wife Mary,ducks,cats, goats,hens and lots of rabbits. If you'd like to find out more about me and hope to buy my books, go to www.sbowkett.freeserve.co.uk.

Marco Polo was born in Italy in 1254. When he was 17, he travelled across Europe and Asia with his father, who wanted to do trade with the Chinese. Finally they arrived in Beijing. They were guests at the Emperor^ Palace. Although Marco Polo was young, he was very clever and could speak some foreign languages. The Emperor was impressed by him. He asked Marco Polo to serve in his court (宫廷) and sent him to do many important tasks across the country.

Marco Polo was amazed by the beautiful China. He was impressed by Beijing and the Emperor's Palace, especially the Summer Palace which he described as "The greatest palace that ever was..." The walls were covered with gold and silver and the hall was so large that it could easily seat 6,000 people for dinner.

There were inventions and developments in China which were not used in Europe at that time. He was puzzled (困惑的) by the black stones people used to bum to produce heat. The black stones were coal, but Marco Polo had never seen coal before!

In 1295, after 17 years of service to the Emperor, Marco Polo returned to Italy. He was then a very wealthy man. A writer wrote down the stories that Marco Polo told him in a book called The Travels of Marco Polo.

Although people enjoyed reading the book, many of them thought that Marco Polo's stories about China were too fantastic to be true. But Marco Polo always stood by his tales. Just before he died in 1324, Marco Polo was asked the question, "Were they all true?" And this was his answer, "I have only told half of what I saw!"
