As the birds wake up the people on the farm early in the morning, one man is already up. In fact, he has never slept not once in the past 36 years.

    The man has never been ill after so many years of insomnia(失眠). This has not only made him famous, but also interested many scientists to study him.

    Sixty-four-year-old Thai Ngoc said he could not sleep at night after getting a fever in 1973, and since that time he has experienced more than 14，000 sleepless nights.

  “I don't know whether the insomnia has impacted my health or not, but I'm still healthy and can work normally like others,” Ngocsaid.

His wife said,“My husband used to sleep well, but these years, nothing can make him get to sleep.” She said when Ngoc went to Da Nang for a medical examination, doctors said he was healthy.

    Ngoc now lives on his farm at the foot of mountain, busy farming and taking care of pigs and chickens all day. “I have tried sleeping pills and some other medicine, but nothing helps,  even to sleep for a few minutes,” he said.

    Ngoc often does more farm work or helps his neighbors during the sleepless night.

    Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, is an American computer programmer. His net worth (资产净值) is about $71 billion, ranking him the fifth richest person in the world. On 1 December, 2015, he and his wife announced that they would give 99 per cent of their Facebook shares to the Chan Zuckerberg Fund. Since 2010, Time magazine has named Zuckerberg among the 100 wealthiest and most influential people in the world.

    Born in 1984, he and his three sisters were brought up in a small village in New York. At high school, Zuckerberg was outstanding in class. He won prizes in science. He could also read and write French, Hebrew, Latin, and ancient Greek. Zuckerberg began using computers and writing software at middle school. His father taught him basic programming in 1990. He enjoyed developing computer programs, especially communication tools and games. During his high school years, he built a software program called ZuckNet that allowed all the computers between the house and his fathers dental office to communicate with each other. The following year, he built a music player called the Synapse Media Player. It used machine learning to learn the user's listening habit.

    In 2004, Zuckerberg launched Facebook from Harvard. He left Harvard in his second year to complete his project—Facebook. Helped by his college roommates and fellow Harvard students, Facebook expanded rapidly, reaching one billion users by 2012.

    In 2003, Zuckerberg met Priscilla Chan, at a party during his second year at Harvard. They have been dating since their Harvard days. In 2010, they got married and had their first baby, Maxima. The couple announced on their Chinese New Year video that their daughter's Chinese name is Chen Mingyu. On 18 March, 2016, while visiting Beijing, he posted on Facebook, "It's great to be back in Beijing! I kicked off (开始) my visit with a run through Tiananmen Square, past the Forbidden City and over to the Temple of Heaven." With a Chinese American wife and speech in Mandarin (普通话) in Tsinghua University, Zuckerberg is famous in China. He seems to be willing to take efforts to make Facebook available in the mainland to connect all people in the world.

    A few days ago, a baby in England saved(拯救) her mother by using a mobile phone. The baby named Amelia was only 11 months old. How could she save her mother at such a young age?

    On that day, the 20-year -old mother called Elizabeth became unconscious(晕倒) at home. At that moment, the mobile phone rang. Amelia, the 11-month-old baby picked it up and answered it. The phone was from Elizabeth's mother, Linda Wright. Linda heard "Who is that?" and "Mama" on the other end of the line. She knows that her daughter has a history of fainting(晕厥) and she also knows her daughter doesn't let the baby play with the phone. So she called 999.

    Elizabeth was in hospital when she woke up. The doctor said that she was all right after the examination(检查). Elizabeth was surprised to find herself in hospital. When she knew that Amelia had saved her, she said she was lucky to have her baby. "She is clever," Elizabeth said. "I am proud of her".

In a small village there was a postman. When he was 20 years old，he started sending all kinds of happy or sad {#blank#}1{#/blank#} to the villagers' homes 50 kilometers away day after day. Twenty years. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}by，and so many changes took place，but there were still no flowers or trees along the{#blank#}3{#/blank#}，only flying dust. 

"How long shall I go along this dusty road？" As soon as he thought he had to spend his life {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the bike on the road with no flowers or trees，he felt very sad. 

One day when he finished sending the letters and was {#blank#}5{#/blank#} to return，he passed by a flower shop. "Right，that's it！" He walked into the shop，bought some 

{#blank#}6{#/blank#} flower seeds，and the next day he began to drop these seeds along the road. After one day，two days，one month，two months…He {#blank#}7{#/blank#} kept dropping the wild flower seeds. 

Before long，a lot of {#blank#}8{#/blank#} flowers came out along the road，blooming（开花）in all seasons. 

 For the villagers，the flowers and the sweet smell were {#blank#}9{#/blank#} pleasant than any letters the postman sent in all his life. 

On the road without dust but full of flowers，the postman rode his {#blank#}10{#/blank#} happily. He never felt lonely or anxious any more. 

My brother Claudio is one of the people I love most. He is smart and always helpful, taking care of me and our younger sister, Sarah. The day when he left home to go to college, he taught me the importance(重 要性)of being a man. 

It was a sunny Saturday morning in August. Sarah was playing the piano. The sound woke us up as usual. In the kitchen, there was a surprise for Claudio—his favorite pancakes. 

Mom gave us a big smile and told us to sit down for the breakfast. Happily, we sat down at the table and had breakfast. After breakfast, Claudio called me to his room. "It's time, brother, "he said. I thought he was saying that it was time for him to leave the house, but in fact he told me that I should do more for Mom than before after he let. 

I thought about his words twice and then understood everything. When he left home, I would learn to take care of the family just as he did before. That day I learned about family, love and duty(责任)
