    On August 21st, 2016, our Chinese National Women's Volleyball Team won the gold medal at 2016 Rio Olympics, 12 years after the last gold medal. All of Chinese were so excited. Thanks to the great coach named Lang Ping whom Chinese people are so proud of. Lang Ping was born in Tianjin. She was once a volleyball player of the Chinese National Volleyball Team. They won the gold medal at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. Lang was seen as one of the most respected  people in modern Chinese sports history. Because of her excellent skills and main role in the success of the Chinese Women's Volleyball Team in the 1980s, she is known as the "Iron Hammer ".

    In 1995, Lang as a coach led the national team and guided them to win the silver medal at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. But in 2005, she became coach of the USA's women's team. In the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Lang led the Americans to play against Chinese National Team. In 2013, Lang became coach of China again. It could be difficult to train for the Rio Olympics. In order to get ready for it, she tried her best to teach girls skills, and she is also friendly, just like girls' mother. They get on well with each other and work together. She encouraged them all the time and told them "never give up". In fact, everyone had a strong will for their dream. Now the dream really came true.

    Their success showed the world about their great spirit. Though the success did not come easily, they can make it. Lang is regarded as the most amazing star all the time.

    There is a park near my home. People like to go to this park after work. Some of them go to the park every day. Look! This is Mr. King. He is sitting on a chair and watching the children. Some children are playing a game. Some boys are playing football. Lucy and Lily are standing under a big tree. They are talking about their favorite movies. There is a small river in the park. We can see some boats on the water. Some children are sitting in the boats with their parents. Listen! A girl is singing. It's really a nice park. I come here every day.

Now kids are so clever, and they always have their own(自己的) ideas. A group of seventh graders open a museum by themselves. It's at their school, West Middle School, in the US. This is not common(常见的) for them. Few students can open a museum!

 Why do they have the idea? These students visited a museum last December. They loved it very much, so they wanted to open a museum by themselves. These students studied the things in the museum for a month. Then, they made some models of them like pyramids(金字塔) and bowls. 

They opened the museum last month. Dawna Badie is a 12-year-old boy. He stood at the door and welcomed visitors. "We study hard and work a lot on the project (项目)," Badie says. "And it works well." Children like to work in the museum very much. After school and every weekend, they go there. 

Both teachers and parents think they do a good job. "That's much better than sitting in the classroom and taking a test," says Emily Thompson. "The project makes them become better learners." Emily Thompson is a teacher of a middle school. She thinks the idea of the children is so wonderful.
