    A school was near my home and I often watched the kids from my window when they played basketball. One day, I saw a little girl playing with boys. 1played very well and no one could stop her. Sometimes, I saw her play 2 She often practiced by herself until dark.

    One day I asked her 3 she practiced so much. She said, “I want to go to university. The only way I can go is to get a scholarship（奖学金）. I like to play basketball. If I play well, I can get a scholarship. My Daddy told me that if the 4is big enough and work hard for it, I can be successful.” Then she smiled and ran to go practice. 

    I watched her through junior high and into high school. Every week, she and her school team won in the basketball matches.

    One day, I saw her 5 in the grass. I went over there and sat down beside her. I asked her what was wrong. “Oh, nothing,” she answered, “I am just too short.” The coach told her that she would probably never play for a university team，so she should 6 her dream about university.

    She was sad, but she told me that her father said those coaches were not 7. They did not understand the power of a dream. He told her that if she really wanted to play for a good university, and wanted a scholarship,8could stop her.

    The next year, when she and her 9went to the Northern California match, a university recruiter（招生官员）noticed her and10 her a full scholarship. Her dream finally came true.

Ten-year-old Barack Obama was one of the only three black students at his school in Hawaii, US. He felt very different from most other students. White girls wanted to touch his hair. ①A white boy asked him whether his father ate people.“I lied (说谎) to them that my father was a Kenyan prince. But I kept asking myself who I am," said Obama. However, 37 years later, the boy made history—Obama became the first black president in the history of the US.

    Obama was born in 1961, to an African father and a white American woman in a small town in the US. He grew up in Indonesia and Hawaii. ②This unusual background made him want to know who he was. He once drank much wine to help forget this question.

    With the help of his friends, Obama finally went to college. His hard work made him a star at Harvard. Later, he became the third black senator (参议员) in the history of the US. During his race to the highest post in the US. Obama talked about his background. He called for a United America, rather than a white America or a black America.

    Obama's success has made Martin Luther King's dream come true. That is: A man should not be judged by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character.

Only a Ribbon

    In one of the London hospitals，a short time ago，there was a young doctor. He noticed one of the patients，a ten-year-old poor girl called Katie，who had a very painful illness.

    Katie lay in her bed，day after day，with nothing to help her forget her pain and cheer up. One day the doctor noticed her trying to make a doll of her finger, and speaking to it. But she was soon tired of it，and lay back into her bed.

    That afternoon，the young doctor saw a beautiful ribbon in a shop window. He thought that it might help cheer the little girl up，so he went in and bought it for her. When he handed the ribbon to the girl，she was too surprised to speak. There were tears in her eyes. This little gift made her feel rich and happy.

    The nurse later told the doctor that the girl played with the ribbon all day long. She twisted（盘绕）it round her head. She held it in her hand while she slept.

    Some weeks later，Katie's illness became worse，and it was necessary to perform a dangerous operation. When Katie was brought into the operation mom，she cried out for the young doctor. He was brought，and he held one of the girl's hands，while the other tightly held the ribbon.

    During the operation，the ribbon fell off Katie's hand. As soon as she woke up and opened her eyes，she looked at her friend and said in a low voice，“My ribbon.”The doctor gave it to her and she smiled happily.

    It was only a little gift，but it made the girl's stay in the hospital bright with beauty and love.

    Every four years, people will look forward to the biggest sport game, the Olympic Games. 

    Rio 2016 organizers have revealed（揭露） the medals that will be competed for at this summer's Olympics. A total of 2,488 medals, each weighing 500g, have been produced - with 812 gold medals, 812 silver medals and 864 bronze medals. They were made with "sustainability（可持续性） at their heart", say organizers.,the silver medals and bronze medals are made from 30% recycled materials, and half of the plastic in their ribbons is from recycled plastic bottles.

     , more problems of this big project have been revealed. It is known to all that a city will be given the right to hold the Olympic Games at least 8 years ahead, so that the government will have enough time to prepare. But the biggest problem is still the unfinished buildings..Rio is not the developed city, its health care can't compare with the developed countries. As its hot weather and other reason, some diseases are easily to spread. It has been reported that some athletes have dropped out of this coming event, for there exists a kind of virus（病毒） which will make people sick badly.

    , we have to admit（承认） that it is still a successful Olympic Games.

    Some people like to work alone while others enjoy teamwork. In my opinion, everyone had better learn to work with others together because teamwork is definitely necessary and important in modern society.

    First, working in a team provides a chance for us to communicate with each other. Just as the saying goes, “many hands make light job.” Working in a team, teammates share their ideas with each other, which is helpful to create a better achievement. Second, working in a team is a way to broaden our horizon(眼界). Teammates in a team can learn something from each other because they are from different places, owning various experiences and hold different views towards things. Therefore, getting along with other teammates is also a process of increasing our knowledge. Third, working in a team is also a way to establish(建立) our friendship. Teammates in a team have chances to help each other, to solve the problems together, to share the happiness of being successful, which make a great contribution（贡献） to establishing friendship.

    So working in a team is one of the most effective（有效的） ways to extend（扩展） our personal relationships. To sum up, to learn to work in a team is really necessary and important and we should try to enjoy it.
