I first had physics lessons when I was in Grade Eight some years ago. In class, I   1   that there wasn’t a Nobel (诺贝尔) Prize winner from China. That made me sad, and I decided to change (改变) it.   2   after that, I got up early in the morning. I turned on the light and took out a physics book. Then I started   3   quietly. I worked so hard because I had a great   4   — one day, I would be the first   5   person to win the Nobel Prize in physics. Later on, I found physics at school too easy for me. I wanted to learn   6  , so I made a reading plan and started to find answers to more difficult problems.
Now I am a top student in physics. I won the first prize in the national physics competition  last month. And I am happy to be closer to my dream after a few   7   hard work. Of course,   8   I have some problems. My classmates always   9   me when they are talking about fashion (时尚) or pop stars, because I know   10   about them. “Well, that doesn’t matter too much,” I tell myself. “They don’t know much about physics , but I won’t laugh at them.”

Dear editors (编辑), I’m a slow (慢的) student in my class. Most of my classmates are much better than me. So I get very stressed out. It’s difficult to keep on working hard and it’s really not fun. And I think although I spend much time studying for the tests, I can’t get good grades. My father gives me some help sometimes. He tells me not to worry about it. But what do you think I should do? Xia Ming

But everyone knows that he did a lot for the people in the world. And Newton had the same story like him.

“What’s the matter, mum?” When I came home yesterday, I found my mother was unhappy. It was unusual—she usually opened the door and welcomed me with a smile. “She’s dying (死),” mum said sadly. I knew what she said. The tulip (郁金香), mother’s favorite, was dying.
A month ago, we moved into our new house and mum bought a very beautiful tulip. Mum liked it very much. Every time she was free, she would sit near the tulip and enjoyed its beautiful color and nice smell. She treated (对待) it like a baby and looked after it carefully. She put the tulip by window and moved it from one place to another to give the tulip enough sunshine. Every morning the first thing she did was to water the tulip. Mum also fertilized (施肥) it many times. She hoped the tulip would become more and more beautiful and stronger. But the tulip was dying because of too much sunshine, water and fertilizer.
It’s true that mother loved the tulip. But this kind of love can be harmful (伤害的). Love can sometimes kill (杀害) what you love.

On July 12th, 2009, at 5 pm, a lot of fans met at People’s Square in Shanghai. They performed Michael Jackson’s unfinished dance. For one minute, they sang and did the moon walk (太空步) to remember Michael Jackson.
This kind of phenomenon (现象) is called “flash mob (快闪族)”. “Flash mob” is a group of people who meet in a public place to perform an activity for a short time. Sometimes all these people are friends, but usually they are strangers (陌生人) and they find each other (彼此) on the Internet.
“Flash mob” is very surprised and strange. One of the popular “flash mob” activities was in Manhattan, New York City: Three hundred people met in a store and each of them told the shop assistant that they would buy the same size sports shoes, and the shop assistant didn’t know what to do.
