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.

    Many people have heard of Peter Dinklage from his role in the popular TV drama Game of Thrones. But few know his story. Peter Dinklage is only 135 cm tall. His life shows that a small man can have a great effect(影响).

    Dinklage was born with dwarfism(侏儒症). As he grew up, his legs and arms stopped growing, but his head kept becoming bigger.

    At first, Dinklage's look brought himself much trouble. Other boys often made fun of him. Dinklage felt sad but he never gave up on himself. When he was in the fifth grade, he played his first role in a school play. The show was successful. That made him want to be an actor. After high school, Dinklage went to Bennington College to study acting. There his teachers and students helped him turn his look into his advantage(优势). From then on, he began to act in films and TV dramas.

    Many people think of Dinklage as a spokesman for people with dwarfism, but Dinklage doesn't think so. He says, "Everyone is different. Just because I'm OK with it, I can't preach(传道)how to be OK with it."

Mr and Mrs Mallard are looking for a place to live.1 every time Mr Mallard finds what looks like a nice place, Mrs Mallard says it is not good. 

One day, they get to a new city. "2 at the lake in the Public Garden. And there is a(n)3 in the centre of the lake," Mrs Mallard shouts. "It's my place. We can 4 the night on the island." Mr Mallard agrees with her. 

Next morning, they are swimming in the lake to look for 5 when a boat with many people comes. Some people throw small pieces of  6 into the water, so the Mallards have a nice breakfast. "I 7 this place," Mrs Mallard says as she climbs out of the water and has a break on the grass. 8 , a boy riding a bike passes by and he nearly hits (撞到) Mrs Mallard. "So  9 ! The place won't be good for our baby ducks. We must 10 here," Mrs Mallard shouts. 

Finally, they find the Charles River. "That island in the river looks like a quiet place to hatch (孵化) ducks. It's far away from the 11 city," Mr Mallard says. They choose soft bushes (灌木丛) near the water to12 the nest (窝). Finally, Mrs Mallard produces 8 eggs and the baby ducks ha tch out. 

All day long, Mrs Mallard teaches her babies 13 to swim. She teaches  14 to walk in a line near the island. And she also tells her babies to come back  15 hearing her voice. Mrs Mallard is very busy, but she likes her life.
