    Shu-How Lin was born on August 23,1988 in California in the USA．He's the newest well-known NBA professional basketball player. His ancestors lived in Fujian Province in China．In 1977,his parents moved to America．Although they live in the USA, they know they are Chinese. And they love their motherland. They try their best to earn more honor（争光）for China.

    When Shu-How was at high school, he showed a great interest in playing basketball. He practiced basketball much harder than any other student in his school. Because of him, the school team became the champion of all the high schools in America, which had never got a champion before. Meanwhile（同时）,he studied particularly hard during high school. He always got "A" in most of his subjects.

    After high school, his dream was to join a university, which was famous for basketball, to major in basketball. But none of these universities in America accepted him. They thought that he was just a Chinese and a Chinese could hardly become an excellent professional basketball player. He felt so sad and he had to attend Harvard University by his good grades, where professional basketball players are not wanted. But before long, he became the first man in Harvard who entered NBA after 1954.

    Shu-How never gave up his basketball dream. He joined several NBA teams, but he was never given a chance to show himself in each game. One day, two players of his team were badly hurt. There were no more players who could play the game. The coach had to let Shu-How go for it. This was a great chance for him. He showed his talent in this game. He got 25 scores!

    After that, Shu-How became one of the most outstanding basketball players around the world. He set a great example to all of us. According to him, we know nothing is impossible if we try our best.

An animal house lets a bad parrot go away for he likes saying bad words. Now the parrot finds a friend in Amazon's voice app at his new home.

Rocco is a gray parrot. His owner finds that he can use the voice app to play his favorite music,tell jokes and even order food.

Thanks to the app, it helps stop the clever bird from doing shopping. If not, he may really buy some strawberries, ice cream and even a cup.

Mary has the parrot now. She says she takes in the parrot after the animal house lets him out because he often says bad words.

Eric, Rocco's first owner, teaches him bad words. Now he really loves his new home. He talks with the app about 40 times a day.

And he can make different sounds. He can make the sound of a phone, a car, a clock, a door bell, and even the sound of opening or closing the door.

On the evening of July 31, 2024, a great moment happened at the swimming event of the Paris Olympics(巴黎奥运会）. Pan Zhanle, a Chinese swimmer,won the gold medal in the men's 100-meter freestyle.

Before the competition, the Chinese team faced a lot of pressure(压力). The past results were not very good and there were many doubts from outside. But Pan Zhanle was brave and ready to fight.

When the race started, Pan Zhanle jumped into the water quickly. In the first 50 meters, he showed strong power and took the lead. His strokes were powerful and his breathing was regular.

In the second half of the race, it became very exciting. Other swimmers tried hard to catch up, but Pan Zhanle kept his lead with great skills and strong will.

Near the end, everyone was very nervous. Pan Zhanle swam as fast as he could and touched the wall with a wonderful time of 46. 40 seconds.He broke the world record and won the gold medal.

After the race, Pan Zhanle was very excited. He said in an interview,＂There were some unfriendly situations before, but they made me more determined.5. I wanted to show the strength of Chinese swimmers! "
