Deborah Sampson was born in Massachusetts, US in 1760. She was the fifth oldest of the seven children in her family. The family was so poor that the mother sent the kids off to live with friends and relatives. At the age of 5, Deborah was taken in by an old woman and was then sent to work as a servant in another home one year later.
At the age of 10, she helped with the housework and worked on a farm for about eight years, growing to be about 173 cm tall, almost 30 cm taller than the average woman of her day. Hard physical work helped her develop a strong body.
She dreamed of going on some adventures. When the American Revolutionary War broke out in 1775, women were not allowed to serve in the army. But Deborah dressed herself to look like a man and joined the army in 1782. She called herself Robert Shurtliff.
One day, during an attack, Deborah was shot (射中) in the back and leg. Another soldier took her to the hospital. A doctor treated the wound on her back and asked if she had any other wounds. Deborah lied and said no. She was afraid that if the doctor examined her leg, he would find out her secret. The bullet was deep in her leg. Using a pocket knife, Deborah took it out. She left the hospital and continued to fight.
After the war ended, Deborah got married and had children. But she still longed for adventure. So she put on her soldier's uniform and traveled around the country telling of her life as Robert Shurtliff, the young and brave soldier.
Are newspapers dying？
For years, it has been said that newspapers are at death's door. Every year brings more news of closing. But why is the situation so1for newspapers？
Newspapers have a long history. The first newspaper was printed in the 1600s. The industry witnessed its most successful periods in the early 20th century.
With the appearance of radio and TV, however, newspaper circulation (发行量) began to fall. By the mid﹣20th century, radio and TV had become so popular that people no longer had to2newspapers for news. That was especially true of breaking news.
Afternoon newspapers were the first to suffer. People coming home from work increasingly turned on the TV, instead of opening a newspaper because TV could provide news that happened a short time ago. It's true that newspapers couldn't compete with TV on3, but they could provide in﹣depth reports that TV news could not.
But newspapers suffered another, heavier blow (打击) in the 1990s. With the appearance of the internet, large amounts of information became4. Many newspaper readers realized that they could read news on the Internet. There seemed to be little reason to pay for a newspaper subscription (订阅).
So what does the future hold？ Will newspapers die？ Maybe not. Many newspapers are now making5. Some are going digital. Some are going farther and taking the industry to places it has never been to. After all, people still want the news. And many agree that newspapers are still an important source of in﹣depth news, analysis and opinions. If newspapers6completely, there will be nothing to take their place.

Jeea, U.K.
I love space very much and would like to be the first teenager to da new planet. Then perhaps it would be named after me. I would become famous around the world!
Emily, U.S.
Space exploration can be dangerous. What should I do if I get l？I can't come back to the earth. I am also afraid of heights. It would be very frightening when you look down from a spaceship!
Klaudia, Spain
I would love to go to space because from there I could enjoy a nice v of the Earth. The blue oceans and green forests on the Earth must be magnificent. What's more,I am curious about what life is like without gravity (重力). Perhaps it would be fun to play golf in space!
Edward, U.K.
It would be cool. But how lonely and depressed I would be without aaround me! I would miss my family. It also requires a large amount of training to become a space tourist, and I don't think I have time for that. Moreover, I don't think I can aa trip to space. That would definitely cost a lot!
Zainab, South Africa
I'd love to. We studied the solar system in Science classes this semester. I think space is amazing and I desire to know more about it. Unluckily, I have no other way but to search for information about it o. If I can have the chance to travel to space, I would directly see the things I never see on the Earth.
Ana, U.S.
I would not like to be a space tourist. I respect those who love space tourism. For me, I only want to f on what I have on this planet - my family, my school and my pets. I would like to work hard to make progress in what I am doing.
A woman was at the airport waiting for her flight to start boarding. She still had a lot of time, so she went to a shop and bought a book to read. While she was in the shop, she decided to buy a bag of cookies as well.
She arrived at her gate, sat down and started reading her book. She read her book so attentively that she didn't notice what was going on around her. But she did see that a man had sat down next to her and taken one of her cookies out of the bag.
She pretended not to notice, as she didn't want to make a scene (当众大吵). But then the man took more. He kept eating the cookies until there was just one left. The man took the last cookie and broke it in half. He tapped the woman on the shoulder and held out one half to her.
The woman could not believe how much nerve this man had to steal all of her cookies and then offer half a cookie in return. She angrily grabbed (夺取) the half﹣cookie out of his hand and ate it without any words.
Finally, it was time for her to board. As she went to the gate, she reached into her purse. Suddenly, she realized that her bag of cookies was still in her purse. The man had eaten his own cookies the whole time and simply wanted to share the last one with her. The woman's face turned red with shame. Therefore, she quickly caught up with him and said, "_________."
When we're not paying attention to the world around us, it can be easy to misunderstand what's happening or even become angry with others. It is better to keep our eyes open and think about every possibility when trying to understand a particular situation.
