   Who do you admire most in your mind? When teachers ask this question,I find it5s a difficult question for me to answer!In my mind,a lot of people gave me a deep impression. I love sports,especially football. David Beckham is my idol (偶像) . He is handsome,and his football skills are good,too. But what gives me deep impression is his strong character. In 1998,he was in a sorrowful atmosphere;because of his unnecessary action,England lost game to Argentina in Football World Cup. During four years,he was abused (羞辱) by all English. In 2002 Football World Cup,they met the same team “Argentina”. In this match,he shot the only goal. At last,they won the game. When the game was over,he roared (吼叫） to let his unhappy mood in this four years off. This scene I will not forget. It's David Beckham; it's my idol who I admire most for his strong character!

   Astronomers working at Berkeley and Geneva have found nine new planets circling nearby stars. With this discovery,we now know of 50 extra-solar planets,also called exoplanets. That is a big increase from 41 planets last known five years ago.

   All these individual (单个的) planets move in an orbit around a star,which is called their parent star. The astronomers estimate that the Beta Pictoris star (绘架座(3 星) has a planet ten times the mass of Earth. It orbits (环绕轨道运行) at a distance of about 10. 5 billion kilometers,more than ten times the distance of the earth from the sun. And Vega (织女星) ，one of the brightest stars in the sky appears to have a planet twice the mass of Jupiter (木星) ，the largest planet in our solar system. This planet is 8 billion kilometers from its parent star. In comparison,our solar system seems almost tiny. The distance between Pluto (冥王星) ，the farthest planet in our solar system and the sun is “just” 5. 9  billion kilometers!

1. With this discovery,how many extra-solar planets are discovered?

2. Is Vega the only one brightest star in the sky?

3. Which planet is the largest in our solar system?

4. Which planet is the farthest planet in the solar system?

   Can you name an animal that returns to the place of its birth,every single year,journeying more than 1,000 km to do so? Well,here is another hint： this animal is a sea creature that originated on earth more than 200 million years ago一making the species older than the oldest ever dinosaur.

   Sea turtles live mostly in warm waters around the world and are graceful swimmers. Each year,from December to April,Gahirmatha plays host to hundreds of thousands of female Olive Ridley turtles. These turtles lay their eggs on the same beach where they were born. Turtles always return to the same nesting site year after year,even if they migrate (迁徙) thousands of kilometers. This particular phenomenon (现象) has baffled (困扰) scientists for years now and no one has any clue as to why they do so.

   There is a fish called the black spot angelfish,which can change from female (雌性) to male (雄性) . No,it cannot do it by simply wishing to become male. The change happens for a specific reason.

   The angelfish live in groups. And each group has one male fish,which is blue in color,and four female fish,which are yellow in color.

   The male angelfish is the strongest and largest member of the group. He is the one who protects and looks after the females and acts like their “safety guard”. When the male dies,the group needs a “safety guard”. This is when the largest female fish in the group begins to change its appearance.

   She begins to grow larger in size. After a week,she starts changing color,from yellow to blue. Slowly? the changes take place. She begins behaving like a male. Two weeks later,black spots appear on her body. This shows that the change is complete. She is now completely male!

   Another interesting fact about angelfish is that they make a special living in the fish world. Most of them act as “cleaners” for other fish. They pick parasites (寄生生物) and dead things from the body of other fish.

   It was a cold,windy night with a bright full moon in the sky. I was standing at a lonely bus stop waiting for my ride home. I heard a bus coming,so I turned to look. I saw the numbers 666 on the bus. For western people,the number 666 is evil (邪恶) ！

I was too frightened to get on. I stopped a passing taxi,jumped in and left there.

   A number of years ago I took a Chinese class but things quickly turned sour when the teacher asked me what my favorite number was. “Four ,” I answered. The teacher's face went pale. “No,no no!You. .. you evil!” she screamed. I didn't want to cause trouble. “4” really has been a favorite number of mine since I was a little American boy. Of course,I lost that teacher. But the experience gave me a new favorite number “8” which I proudly declare safe in the knowledge that my Chinese friends will praise (称赞) my choice.

   In Chinese,there are numbers for making a lot of money “888” and those for of a long life “99”. But there also is a number for death “4”. That is why you should never give your Chinese friends four of anything. That is also why every Wang,Liu and Zhang wanted to get married on August 8 ,2008. Please remember 13 and Friday mean bad luck for western people,but 9 means good luck.

   Numbers are just one thing. To Chinese people a full moon is good luck. But in the West a full moon is a sign of bad luck. I tried to get praise from my Chinese friends but I couldn^ make myself comfortable to see the full moon and 666 in this dark night.

  Many people believe that life has smiled to Yang Mi： at the age of 4 ,she got her first TV play role;at 16,she became a model for a fashion magazine;at 18,she went to her dream college—Beijing Film Academy.

   In the year of 2010,the 24-year-old actress played bad girl Luo Qingchuan in the time-travelling TV play,Palace. The play became a big success and made Yang very famous.

   Could she be any luckier?

   Yang doesn’t think luck had anything to do with her success. “Every chance is gained (获得) from the efforts I've made ,” said Yang. People now think she's very hard-working.

   She still remembers the time when people gave her the cold eyes. Some treated her with little respect. They didn't want to help her in her time of need. aI have to thank them because they gave me the drive to prove myself”’ she said.

   That's why she is glad to help others when they are in need. In 2011,Yang became the ambassador (大 使) for the Climate Group. She calls some people to join the Million-Miracle project and plant trees on China's dry land. Together we’ll fight the bad weather![黄冈市 2013 毕业升学]
