Hello, I’m Vladislav. For my summer holidays, I usually stay in a country house near Moscow.
Last summer, my dad’s brother gave me a present — a blue bike. At that time I couldn’t ride it very well.
One day I got into an accident. But don’t worry, everything was OK, just some “little” injuries.
That day, I tried to ride my bike and suddenly it began to move very fast. I couldn’t stop the bike. So I fell into a ditch (沟) full of dirty water. When I thought I had had enough bad luck, a girl walked by. She saw the bike and me. I quickly stood up.
“Are you fishing here?” she asked.
“Yes,” I answered. Then I said, “I’m making fish soup for dinner. Would you like to come?” To my surprise, she agreed.
After that we became friends. Now, we often send each other e-mails. She knows that I’m studying in China and she asks me questions about Chinese culture. I tell her my stories of China, and she says she wants to visit China, too. She even plans to study Chinese.
This is how, with the help of my bike, China got one more Russian friend.

“The only thing holding you back is yourself. Never say never”, said a rising 17-year-old singer, Justin Bieber, who was just an ordinary boy in Canada a few years ago.
After the accident of falling from the 18^th floor and lying in the snow for three hours, my hands were frozen and my spinal cord (脊髓)was seriously injured. All the doctors and professors in the famous hospitals in Beijing told me that there was little chance for my hands and my body to recover (康复).
After half a year of medical treatments and recovering exercises, I could not make any more progress for over a year. What was worse , I suffered a lot from depression (绝望). On top of this, I suffered from insomnia, making every minute of the night seem to last forever. Hopelessly, mom and I came back to my hometown, which is small town in Guangdong.
At that time, I thought that I would never be able to walk again. I would never love and be loved. I would never be able to earn even a penny. I would never be able to repay the kindness I got from my parents and many nice people. Life was meaningless.
Now two years has passed. My hands are 80% recovered. I can even type faster than a healthy person! Up to now, I have worked for a law firm as an interpreter for half a year already. Although I don’t earn as much as before, I am able to pay for the food and clothes I need. What’s more, I even have extra money to buy thanksgiving presents for my parents and my boyfriend. Through my blogs (博客) , many people get to know me and like me. I can bring happiness to them. I can help those who are still suffering from depression and the pain of illnesses by chatting with them….You see, I am living a meaningful life and I am happier than ever I could have dreamed.
So, my friends, never say never. As long as you are alive, there is always hope and possibilities. It is never too late to take action to realize your dreams.     (382 words)
【小题1】What’s the writer’s present job?

One day, early in the morning on my way to work, I saw a little girl carrying a small Cambridge schoolbag. I could imagine that she must be proud of her schoolbag. The bag is designed for students, which can hold a lot of things, such as textbooks, pens and pencils, snacks and water! Students just carry it on their shoulders, and it is easy for them. I was really amazed by the wisdom of businessmen.

I remembered I had a green cloth bag, which was very rough, but strong. At that time I was short, so my mom made the bag rope shorter. After eating all the meals prepared by my mother, I said to her, “I will go to school now. Bye!” I ran to school with my classmates. At that time, this schoolbag was so light. When I jumped, it jumped. All things in this bag had a collision (碰撞.. They gave out cheerful sounds all the way along. At the time I was so happy.

As I grew older, the schoolbag became heavier and heavier. My green schoolbag could not be used any longer. The bag was worn down, the mouth was opened, and finally it came to an end. My mother bought me another bag, and it was very big. I liked the Mickey Mouse pattern. The bag had a few pockets and both sides of the bag could carry a bottle. It was convenient! I was happy to go out every day with the new bag. Five or six miles of the trip to school seemed as if it were a few steps away. That year I was 12 years old. Though my first schoolbag wasn’t made in the UK, and it was made by my mother herself, it was still a real Cambridge schoolbag in my mind.
