I was the tallest girl in my class when I started school. It made me feel 1 and I believed that I looked very fat and ugly. The small girls were seen as smarter, so they were more popular and got more 2 from teachers. I began to hate myself 3 not being small when I was seven years old, and by adulthood, I felt sad about my appearance(外表).

    I didn't dare to look into the mirror 4one day my friend pulled me to the mirror to let me see that I had a good figure. It's true that I was in good shape. Then I did something kind for5—I bought a beautiful dress for myself. I felt very happy! I always thought following others could make me more popular. But it's hard to be happy when you don't see your own6.

    Each small kindness I did for myself made me7myself more. I'd do something loving and feel happier. That focus on myself grew into deep self­love.

    Today my self­love is very 8 It has helped me develop self­confidence and helped me 9 myself from an unhappy school teacher to a popular writer. Now I am seen as a very beautiful woman.

    Please join me in taking steps to develop self­love. Every little loving act you do for yourself helps you build 10.

    Stuart and Steve were twin brothers. Stuart loved to play basketball. But Steve loved to read books.

    One day Stuart was playing basketball 1 he fell and broke his leg. When they took him to the hospital, the doctor said he wouldn't be able to play for six months. Steve went 2 him and brought him books on basketball. At first Stuart wasn't going to read them. Then he began to read them and 3 that there were ways he could play basketball better. He began to think that books weren't 4.

    When Stuart's leg started getting better, Steve would help him by going for walks with him. 5 Stuart's doctor said he could start playing basketball again. Then Stuart showed Steve how to toss(投) for baskets. Steve found that he enjoyed it.

    Then Stuart was ready to 6 the basketball games. Steve went to watch the games and enjoyed himself. They then 7 practiced basketball and read books together.

    So you can see, when 8 happens, something good may also happen. Steve showed Stuart about books and Stuart showed Steve about basketball. So you can also 9 showing others something that you like to do and they can show you something that they like to do. 10 you can find new things to do.

The moon was behind a cloud. And there weren't many stars in the sky. It was a dark night. I saw a glow (光) in my neighbor's kitchen. I thought he was having a night meal. So I went back to my bed.

Soon there was a smell of burning in the air and I thought there was probably something wrong. I jumped out of bed quickly and went out to make sure. I saw fire coming out of my neighbor's kitchen. Then I shouted, "Fire! Fire!" But no one in the neighborhood heard my shouts for help.

I ran into my house, called the firemen and went back to my neighbor's house. I knocked on the door hard and called out my neighbor's name, but there was no answer. Finally I got into the house and saved a cat and a dog.

I tried to pour water through the kitchen window but it didn't work. It was a big fire. Luckily, the firemen arrived over ten minutes later and stopped the fire.

When my neighbor came back, he was sad for his kitchen but he thanked me for calling the firemen and saving his pets. He wanted to give me some money but I did not accept it.

Weeks later, my neighbor had a new kitchen. He invited me to see his new kitchen and we enjoyed a big meal there. It made me very happy. After that, he became my best friend.

My name is Li Wen, a middle school student in China. ……

To me, the most important thing of this festival is that all family members can get together.

X-rays were discovered in 1895 by a German professor, Wilhelm Roentgen. People all over the world were amazed by his invention, the X-ray machine. This invention was so important that Roentgen won the first Nobel Prize for Physics in 1901.

The telephone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell, a doctor and speech teacher. The first phone call was made by Bell in 

1876. He got acid (酸) on his pants by accident and wanted his partner, Thomas Watson, to help him. The first words spoken on the telephone were "Mr. Watson, come here! I need you!"

Television was invented in 1926 by John Logie Baird, a Scottish inventor. Baird's television certainly didn't look like a television today! Electronic televisions like the ones we have today were invented by Vladimir Zworykin in the 1920s in the United States.

The first computer was built in 1946 by two American engineers, J. Presper Eckert and John W. Mauchly. It was developed for the army, and it was so large that it took up a whole room! Later, in 1971, the "microchip" was invented, and small home computers were first produced for personal use. Today computers are used in almost everything we do and are found almost everywhere we go.
