When I was born, my doctor told my mother that there was something wrong with my 2 . They were too soft to be able to walk. Although the news was bad, my mother didn't become 3. She didn't believe what the doctor said 4 started to look for other ways.
My mother kept looking for 5 doctors for me, and finally she succeeded. The doctor and his team in the hospital tried many times and did 6 they could to help me. They also asked my parents to teach me to do some 7 to help me walk. One day, when my mother came to pick me 8 , I crawled(爬) towards her. She was so surprised and happy that she couldn't believe 9 eyes. Crawling was not walking, but it was a good 10 . Day by day, I could walk by myself.
When I grew up, my mother 11 told me these stories. She said that if I thought of what she said whenever I met difficulties, I could do anything successfully. I have been working 12 and I have turned out to be a very excellent person. I always get best 13 in all my subjects at school. What's more, I become a good dancer and swimmer. Thanks to my mother's strong resolution, I can live a happy life now. What the story tells us, as my mother always 14 , is: Never 15 , and the miracles will surely appear some day.

If you like shopping and you are crazy about fashion, London is a good place for you. In London you can buy not only the most expensive clothes, but also beautiful clothes which are inexpensive.
Many of the world's most famous fashion designers have their own shops in London. And every year in February and September, there is an important fashion event. It is called London Fashion Week and people all over the world come here and enjoy England's wonderful new clothes. Usually the clothes are sold at a high price. The clothes are always in style. In the 1960s, a fashion designer Mary Quant invented the miniskirt. It made her famous all around the world. Later, in the 1970s, "punk" fashion became popular.
Outside London there are some shopping centres as well. In the shopping streets of most towns have a Market Day. On that day, some of the streets are filled with stalls selling food, flowers, dressess, hats, bags, and many other different things. The clothes there are always at a low price. Nearly everybody can afford them.
The next time you look up at the sky and see a cloud that looks like Mickey Mouse or your favorite fruit, look again. It may not be a cloud, but a Flogo -- a logo that flies. It's a new form of advertising in the sky that's never been used before. It's a different way to market your products, logos, and events.
These funny logos are made with soap bubbles (肥皂泡) mixed with a little helium gas (氦气) ,which makes them lighter than air and float in the sky. Special machines are used to make these new funny Flogos. The machine, which can be rented for $ ,500 a day, can make a Flogo every 15-5 seconds.
Flogos can fly much higher or lower if needed. They can last from a few minutes to an hour anywhere in the sky, depending on the weather conditions. Though they can fly up to 0, 000 feet, they usually float around at 300- 500 feet. Flogos are only white now, but people hope to have more colorful Flogos in the near future.
Flogos are Green, 100% environmentally safe, because the soap used to make the Flogo comes from plants and leaves. So this fun way of advertising is healthy and good for the environment.
