This was a very interesting story. I 1 thousands of classes since I started school nine years ago. But one class was 2 of all.

    It happened last term just after I had got a bad result in 3 exam. I was sad and had lost my confidence. I decided 4 to a class 5 can tell me how to be successful. The speaker walked into the room. 6 he did not start talking like a teacher. Instead, he held up a twenty yuan note!

    "Who wants this?" he asked. Unsurprisingly, 7 of us in the class held up our hands. The speaker smiled. Then he put up the note on the blackboard and asked the same question. Again, we put up our hands. The speaker kept 8, but said 9 . Suddenly, he threw the note onto the floor! Then he asked the same question for  10time.

    I didn't understand the speaker. Why was he asking the same question again and again? I didn't know 11 to do. I wanted the note, so I put my hand up again. "You have all just told me how to become successful." He said to us 12 the note in his hand. "The note is worth twenty yuan. It is always worth twenty yuan, even though I throw it on the floor. You are like the note. No matter what happens to you, you still have your worth."

    Hearing those words, I 13 deeply. Suddenly, I realized I was worth a lot. I may have failed, but it doesn't mean I 14 do well in the future. If I believe in15I will be successful!

Charles Darwin

Early years

Charles Darwin was one of the six children from a big family. His grandfather and father were doctors and the young Darwin went to Edinburgh University to study medicine. However, he hated to see blood and he soon realized that he couldn't be a doctor. He then went to Cambridge University and discovered that he had a great interest in studying plants, insects and animals. Luckily, one of Darwin's university teachers helped him join the perfect trip for a biologist: a voyage around the world to study nature.

The Beagle

In 1831, Charles Darwin left Plymouth on The Beagle, a ship that took him around the world for five years. While he was travelling, he studied the plants and animals in the countries and on the islands that the ship visited. Darwin also spent his time on The Beagle writing notes about the things he had seen. When he finally arrived back in Britain, Darwin was already starting to create his famous theory that all living things had a common ancestor (祖先).

Down house

At home at Down House, a place that you can still visit today, Darwin wrote many articles and books about his travels, but he didn't want to make anything about his theory known to the public. He worked in his study, where he wrote 250,000 words about his theory of evolution (进化论), but he was frightened about what people might say about his idea that monkeys were the ancestors of humans. He thought the public would be against it and was so frightened that he became ill with worry. However, when another scientist started to write about similar ideas, Darwin decided to print his book, On the Origin of Species.

Most scientists accepted Darwin's theory and people continue to study it today. On 12th February, the day he was born, Darwin Day is celebrated around the world to encourage more people to study the natural world.

This year，Children's Day was an unforgettable experience for many children in Beijing!The China National Theater for Children successfully showed 12 special plays for kids from May 31 to June 10.These plays were chosen from 146 entries for the "Blooming and Sailing"program.There were many different types of plays，including puppet（木偶） shows，and even the traditional Yueju Opera.

Families came to the theater for 10 days to see these great shows.The theater has hosted this program for three years because of the support of the Beijing Culture and Arts Fund.

Two plays were really popular with young kids. "Go to the Farm"was fun for kids aged 17 months to 4 years.It was lively and educational."Momoda"was also popular with babies aged 6 months to 18 months.It was totally fun.

After the shows，children were full of happiness.Little John said，"I loved 'Go to the Farm'!It was so much fun to learn about animals and play with the puppets."And baby Emily said

There were also eight workshops about these plays.They provided theater fans with a chance to go deeper into the world of stage arts.This year's"Blooming and Sailing"program was a big success.Kids and families had a great time and will remember it for a long time.

Trouble made me grow

Trouble is very common in our life.

During the summer holidays, many parents like to send their children to summer camps. In recent years, more and more foreign students take part in summer camps in China to learn about its culture and history. 

In Baoding, a city in Hebei province, a group of high school students and teachers from America joined Chinese students for a 12-day summer camp. During their time in Baoding, the American students visited many local places of interest, including the Ancient Lotus Pond (莲花池), wbere they could admire the beautiful flowers. They also visited famous places of interest near the city, like the Great Wall. 

The camp also offered different kinds of cuitural activities for the foreign students. Theytried traditional calligraphy (书法), played ping-pong, and watched an exciting Peking Opera. Although they found the activities challenging, they enjoyed learning about the rich traditions of Chinese culture. 

During the camp, the students stayed with local host families, it gave them a chance to experience daily life in China and build strong friendships with the Chinese students. "I have made many friends here. We share common interests and hobbies, " said Daniel, one of the American students. 

The summer camp left unforgettable memories for the American students. Their time in China helped to build friendships and a deeper understanding for a culture that was new to them "I will keep in fouch with them in the future. " said Daniel.
