One morning. the three fish were 3 to a shallow (浅) water by a big wave (浪). A small boat was taken there, too. It was hard for the fish to go back to the sea because the boat was right in front of them. The largest fish realized that they were 4 and said they had to find a way to leave there as quickly as possible. The second largest fish 5 with his elder brother, but the youngest one did not. He said that there was much 6 for their activities, so he would not worry at all and still swam around 7. At last, the largest fish returned to the 8 by jumping over the lowest part of the boat.

"My dream has come true. I have always wanted to be a Grand Slam(大满贯) champion." These are the words of Chinese tennis player Li Na after she became the first Asian woman to win a Grand Slam final in the French Open on June 4, 2011.
"People were saying I'm getting old. So this is a great success for such an old woman," the 29-year-old girl joked.
Miss Li has a tattoo(纹身). She has dyed her hair many different colors. And, at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, she told her fans to "shut up" when they got too noisy in their support.
Li Na was born in Wuhan, she started to play tennis at the age of 6. She once recalled: "As a child, I felt sad because every day I had to wake up early to practice. After school I had to practice more. I didn't have time to play."
Luckily, the strong girl didn't give up, thus making history for Chinese tennis time after time.
Now the new champion is already thinking about winning another Grand Slam title. "when you have one title, surely you will think about another," she says, not hiding her ambition(雄心)。
"Chinese people are so lacking(缺乏) in confidence on the tennis court. If there is a person like me who can prove we Chinese can do it, the other young players in China will feel the same," she said.

Mobile phone has become a problem for high schools. Some high-school students in Australia are not allowed to carry mobile phones during school hours.
Mobile phone used among children has become a problem for the school years. Several children have got mobile phones as Christmas presents, and more students will want them.
Marry Brown, a headmaster, said that mobile phone was a distraction(分心事) to students during school hours and it also gave teachers so much trouble in their classrooms. Teachers were also saying that sometimes students might use phone messages to cheat during exams.
She said some schools had tried to ban(禁止) mobile phones. Some parents felt unhappy because they couldn't get in touch with their children.
Many teachers said students should not have mobile phones at school. But there was a good reason that they could leave their phones at school offices. They also said they were easily lost and were a distraction for studies.
Many people say that they understand why parents would want their children to have phones, but they think schools should let the students know when they can use their mobile phones.
For most people, the word "fashion" means "clothes". But people may ask the question, "What clothes are in fashion?" And they use the word "fashionable" in the same way.
"She was wearing a fashionable coat. His shirt was really a fashionable colour. "
But of course there are fashions in many things, not only in clothes. There are fashions in holidays, in restaurants, in films and books. There are even fashions in school subjects, job…… and in languages.
Fashions change as time goes. If you look at pictures of people or things from the past, you will see that fashions have always changed. An English house of 1750 was different from one of 1650. A fashionable man in 1780 looked very different from his grandson in 1860.
Today fashions change very quickly. Some of this is natural. We hear about things much more quickly than in the past. Newspapers, radios, telephones and television send information from one country to another in a few hours.
New fashions mean that people will buy new things, so you see there is money in fashion.
One day, Pierre, worked in a government office, received an (invite) to a palace ball. His wife, Mathilde, had no money (buy) jewellery, so she borrowed a (beauty) necklace(项链) from (she) friend, Jeanne. She looked very beautiful. And they had wonderful time that evening.
But after the ball, she (find) the necklace missing. They had to borrow a lot of money to buy a new one for Jeanne. In order to pay back the money, they worked day and night 10 years. Mathilde became very old, so Jeanne didn't recognize her when they met in a park 10 years (late). From this story, we know a person shouldn't be affected by vanity(虚荣心), it will cost him a lot.
