At the age of twelve, I get a nice bike as a birthday gift. So excited was I that I couldn't wait to try my hand at riding it. Besides, it was harder than expecting. The bike seemed too heavy for me to control and I fell off the bike over and over again. I was about to give up while my father came and encouraged me to keep going. With more practice, I found me doing better and better. Looking back, I feel I would not be able to ride bike if I had lost my heart.
Honest speaking, we can't avoid failing. What matters most is that we should stick to it.

One Sunday, Malachi Bradley was searching for wild mushrooms in eastern Utah when he realized he had wandered too far from the mountain lake where he was hiking with his father and family.
The 10-year-old boy tried looking for a road to flag down a driver, but the area about 200 miles east of Salt Lake City was too remote. He remembered the survival skills his father taught him and eventually hunkered down between rocks still warm from the sun to protect himself from the weather. The remaining warmth helped him get through the cold night.
Over the nearly 30 hours he was missing in the rugged backcountry, he found river water to drink and even tried unsuccessfully to catch a fish with a spear made from a stick.
Meanwhile, dozens of search-and-rescue workers were combing the area on horses and ATVs, as well as in the air, but they couldn't spot Malachi in the wooded landscape.
Back at Paul Lake, his father, Danny Bradley, and a friend who had joined them for camping were keeping a fire burning, hoping the boy might wander back on his own. As the hours wore on, Bradley imagined his son alone in the woods and was terrified that he might be hurt.
The next day, Malachi heard a police helicopter flying overhead. He knew the searchers aboard the craft couldn't see him through the trees, so he started walking again until he found a clearing. He stayed there, briefly falling asleep, until a search plane spotted him from the air and a helicopter landed to pick him up on Aug. 24. Medical staff said he was cold and hungry but fine.
Malachi said he'll go camping again, but next time he'll stay close to other people. "I'll learn from my mistakes," he said.
Love is blind: the magic of Tabby
In October, 2003, I started my work at my local animal shelter's Adoption Department. Over the years, more than 50,000 animals have 1 the doors of the shelter. Most of them, I do not remember. But occasionally there are 2 animals, who touch me so deeply that I could never possibly 3 them. Tabby was one such animal.
Tabby, blind and deaf, was probably 14 years old. So her chances at adoption seemed 4 at best. After all, we didn't have many adopters coming in 5, "Can you show me all of your really old dogs who are also 6?" We had all thought that Tabby would live out the rest of her life at the 7.
One day a woman named Loretta came to the shelter. Her son, Gary, had 8 Tabby's pictures and stories on the shelter's website at home. They were interested in meeting her! It was the only 9 we ever received about Tabby. What could a young child possibly see in a 14-year-old dog who was both blind and deaf? Most boys would want a dog who could grow with them and 10 through grassy fields on summer days. Tabby would 11be able to do that. But after meeting her, Loretta and Gary decided that she was the right dog for their family. They adopted Tabby!
If Tabby's story had simply ended with her 12 adoption, it would still have been something very special indeed. 13, it was what happened after her adoption that people might regard as "magic". Gary 14 from epileptic seizures(癫痫发作). Since Gary and Tabby met they became 15. They did everything together. They became so "in tune" with one another that Tabby began to telegraph Gary's seizures 16they occurred, giving his family a(n) 17 that one was about to strike. What's more, Gary seemed to be having fewer and fewer seizures since Tabby's 18.
How could it be? Nobody could explain 19 Tabby did it. But those of us who were fortunate enough to know her and her family had 20 the magic, the kind that has its roots in love.
Book and bookmaking
A book is a printed work that is meant to communicate. It's made up of pages that are usually enclosed in a protective cover. Among the countless types of books are novels, picture books, cookbooks, how-to books, poetry books, and textbooks.
The first step in creating a book is for an author to write a manuscript (手稿). Then the author finds a publisher, or a company that makes and sells books. They make sure that the ideas are complete, that the writing is clear, and that there are no mistakes.
Then the manuscript goes to a designer. This person arranges the text and pictures on the pages so that the book looks nice and is easy to read.
Editors and designers continue working on the pages until they are perfect. The designed book is stored in computer files (文件).
Next, the computer files are used to create printing plates, which are pieces of metal or plastic that have the book's text and pictures on them. Printing plates are put on printing presses and used to print the book.
Early books were difficult to produce. The text was written by hand. As a result, books were expensive and hard for most people to get.
The invention of printing changed that. In about 1450, a special type of printing press was invented in Germany. It could print many books quickly.
Today books are published in every language. Personal computers have allowed people to publish their own books. Many books can be read or downloaded from the Internet.
A. A designer also creates the cover.
B. Books can have either a hard cover or a soft cover.
C. This has made books easier to get than ever before.
D. People have written books about all kinds of subjects.
E. Only wealthy and powerful people read these early books.
F. Books became available to ordinary people for the first time.
G. Editors at the publishing company help the author improve the manuscript.
The African elephant, the largest land animal remaining on earth, is of great importance to African ecosystem (生态系统). Unlike other animals, the African elephant is to a great extent the builder of its environment. As a big plant-eater, it largely shapes the forest-and-savanna (大草原) surroundings in which it lives, therefore setting the terms of existence for millions of other animals that live in its habitat (栖息地).
It is the elephant's great desire for food that makes it a disturber of the environment and an important builder of its habitat. In its continuous search for the 300 pounds of plants it must have every day, it kills small trees and underbushes, and pulls branches off big trees. This results in numerous open spaces in both deep tropical forests and in the woodlands that cover part of the African savannas. In these open spaces are numerous plants in various stages of growth that attract a variety of other plant-eaters.
Take the rain forests for example. In their natural state, the spreading branches overhead shut out sunlight and prevent the growth of plants on the forest floor. By pulling down trees and eating plants, elephants make open spaces, allowing new plants to grow on the forest floor. In such situations, the forests become suitable for large hoofed plant-eaters to move around and for small plant-eaters to get their food as well.
What worries scientists now is that the African elephant has become an endangered species. If the elephant disappears, scientists say, many other animals will also disappear from vast areas of forest and savanna, greatly changing and worsening the whole ecosystem.
