So he decided to go to the cinema. When he came back, he found that someone had broken into his house. The man had a drink, smoked several of Tom’s cigarettes and read his story. The man left a note.“I have read your story and I don’t think much of it. Please read my advice and you can write a wonderful story. By the way, I am a thief. I am not going to steal anything tonight. But if you become a famous writer, I will come back.”Tom read the thief’s advice. Then he sat down and finished the story.

Mrs White lived in a town. Her husband had a big bookshop there and got a lot of money. They liked traveling and had been to several countries and visited a lot of places of interest before the man died. Now the woman wanted to visit Moscow but she knew little Russian. The miserly woman thought for a long time and found a way. Linda, who lived just next to her, was born in Russia and spoke Russian well. She asked her to travel with her to the city during her summer holiday. The girl was happy and agreed. Linda had been in Moscow for four years and knew it well. She found one of her friends and they stayed there. So the woman saved some money. The girl took good care of the woman and they had a good time there. When they returned to England, Mrs White decided to give a present to the girl for it. She asked, “What do you like best?”The greedy girl understood what it meant. She said, “I like dressing myself, you know. Please give me something for my ears, or neck, or hands.”Hearing this, the woman went in a room and brought a box to the girl. Linda ran back to her room quickly and opened it at once. Can you guess what it was in it? It was half a piece of soap!

When a light passenger plane flew off course(跑道) some time ago, something was wrong with it and it crashed(坠毁) in the mountains and its pilot(飞行员) was killed. The only passengers, a young woman and her two baby daughters, were unhurt. It was the middle of winter. Snow lay thick on the ground. The woman knew that the nearest village was kilometers away. She couldn’t find anything in the snow but a suit?case(行李箱). When it grew dark, she turned the suit?case into a bed and put the children inside it, covering(盖) them with all the clothes she could find. During the night, it got terribly cold. The woman kept as near as she could to the children and even tried to get into the case herself, but it was too small. Early next morning, she heard planes flying above and wanted to know how she could send a signal(信号). Then she had an idea. She wrote the letters ‘SOS’ in the snow. Luckily, a pilot saw the signal and sent a message by radio to the nearest town. It was not long before a group of people arrived and they took the woman and her daughters to hospital at once.

　　The Sewing-machine

　　Thomas Saint patented(获专利) his idea for a sewing-machine(缝纫机) in London in 1790，but the idea was not used．Then a German patented his idea for a sewing-machine in 1810, but again nobody was interested in it．In 1892 a poor tailor(裁缝) in Paris，Barthelemy Thimonnier，invented a machine which worked，and made eighty of them．As his prices were cheap，he was given a big order for army uniforms．However，other tailors in Paris were afraid：they thought that they might lose their jobs．The angry tailors broke all eighty machines．Thimonnier lost the order but continued to improve his design．He made a new machine in 1848 and this was destroyed too!

　　Then the story continued in the USA．Various(各种各样的) machines were patented there in the 1850s，but one machine is known everywhere now：the Singer．Its inventor was I．M．Singer，a German immigrant(移民)，and his company made the new machines．Soon they were bought by clothing companies．Then in 1865 they were sold for use at home，the first complex(复杂的) machines for making things at home．This time the machine was accepted(被接受) by everyone and the design was not improved for many years because it was very good．

　　These inventions changed people's jobs and lives. People didn't like the change at first but later the new machines were accepted．

Two years ago, my husband bought me a bicycle. If you live in a town, it is sometimes faster than a car and I take my small daughter to school, and go anywhere in fact. I use it most in summer when the weather is warm and dry. It can be very unpleasant in winter when it is cold and it often rains. It can also be very dangerous. Accidents aren’t only problems. One day I went shopping and came back to find my front wheel lost. Now I have three strong locks. My husband likes his car for long trips better, but I think all this sitting down is making him fat. On my bicycle I get a lot of exercises and fresh air, and riding makes me feel a lot younger.

Li Ying has been a successful class monitor for eight years. But these days she has had some trouble. Some boys won’t listen to her and talk loudly in class. Many student leaders are having problems. They don’t know how to be a good student leader. Last Sunday, Mr Gong gave 40 students a talk on how to be a good student leader. He said it is very important for a leader to have a good personality. “Be helpful and loving. You must do well not only in study, but in art and sport,” said Gong. He advised the students to read books as many as they can. The talk helped Hou Dong. In the past, he used to make his students copy textbooks if they were bad.“Now I know I should praise students to make my class a happier place and to make them come together more,” said Hou.“I should prepare speeches before I talk and make sure I speak clearly,” Zhang Hong said.
