I think that a good friend is just like a great artist who can change my feeling about life greatly. When I talk about the person who has influenced me most, I must think of my best friend Wang Tao.
When I was in my university, one of my classmates sat beside me. His name is Wang Tao. He is an unforgettable friend in my life who is both handsome and intelligent. Everyone knows that he is a genius(天才) in my university.
He is kind-hearted and is always ready to help others. But he doesn't like being praised often for he thinks what he did is common. There is an old saying: A friend in need is a friend indeed. Wang Tao sets a good example for me in my life.
I remembered that my Mathematics(数学) was weak at that time, but he was excellent in solving Mathematics questions. He often received high scores. Of course,
I wished I could reach his level. Though he explained math problems to me all day long, he was still patient and polite to answer all my questions. Slowly, I made great progress in Mathematics. I passed the math examination finally. Then we became friends naturally. And now, I still remember his strong will to study.
We know that we live in a society, so we all need a lot of friends. There are two kinds of friends, good and bad. Bad friends may lead us to failure in life, while good ones help out achieve our dreams. Wang Tao is such a very good friend from whom I learnt so much.
We separated three months ago. Now I miss him a lot, and I hope that our friendship will continue to be strong after we graduate.
How do we know the time? A clock, a watch or a mobile phone can help us. However, many years ago there were no clocks, so knowing the time was not so easy. Over the centuries, people have developed different ways of telling the time.
About 5,500 years ago, the Egyptians invented the sun clock. That was a tall stone building. Its shadow showed the movement(运动) of the sun. So people were able to know midday(正午). The Egyptians made a sundial (日晷) about 3,500 years ago. It was smaller than the sun clock and could let people know the time for half a day. But on cloudy days or at night, it was impossible to tell the time. Water clocks were the first clocks not to use the sun. The idea is simple. Water flows(流) from one bottle to another. When the water reaches a certain level, it shows the hours. The Egyptians used water clocks about 3,400 years ago. But these clocks failed to make people know the exact time.
In the 13th century, the mechanical(机械的) clock was invented in Europe. This was more exact, but it was expensive to make one. Over the next few centuries it was developed. For example, springs were added around 1500, this made people get the correct time and allowed clocks to be smaller. In 1927, the first quartz(石英) watch was developed. Clocks became cheaper to make. More recently, in 1956, came the digital(数字的) clock. And nowadays satellites(卫星) send our mobile phones the time to the exact second. Many people use mobile phones to know about the time instead of wearing a watch.
Clocks are always changing but some things never change. Many of us still have trouble getting out of bed on time and not being late for school or work.

Maybe you are more interested in sports than in English. You probably think you will never be a top student. If you can use your time well, you may improve your study without much work. Here are some tips.
Plan your time carefully. When you plan your week time, you should first write down the time for eating, sleeping, dressing, and so on. Of course, studying shouldn't take all of your time. Don't forget to leave yourself enough time for hobbies.

It was a cold winter night. I hurried to go home from work on my motorbike.
While I was waiting for the green light, I saw an old man toward me. He stopped me and said , "Excuse me, could you please help me?" I looked at him up and down. He looked about 70 years old. The old man took out a 10-yuan bill(钞票) and said to me, "You see the old lady over there? She's selling baked(烤) potatoes could you just take the money and buy one from her?" He pointed at an old lady selling something about fifty meters away in the corner.
"But why don't you go and buy it ?" I was puzzled. The old man continued. "That old lady is my wife, and it's her day to sell baked potatoes. Just now I called her. She told me that there was only one sweet potato left and she wouldn't go home until all the sweet potatoes were . But I know she can't stand the cold because her legs hurt. I'm very about her." At that time, I understood why the old man asked me to buy his potato. I felt really warm and moved. Without taking the money, I rode to the old lady quickly and bought the last one. As I said goodbye to the old man,I could see him standing there with a smile.
Chinese dumplings are very popular in the Spring Festival. Since the shape of them is similar to Chinese gold silver ingots(元宝), they stand for wealth. The members of a family get together to make dumplings during the New Year 's Eve. They hide a coin in one of the dumplings. The person who finds the coin ought to share the luck with his family. And he is believed to have a good future in the new year. Chinese dumplings are also popular in other Chinese holidays or festivals, so they are regarded as part of the Chinese culture and tradition. You can make various Chinese dumplings using different fillings( 馅 ) based on your taste. Making dumplings is really teamwork. Usually all family members join the work. Most people started to make dumplings when they were kids in the family, so most Chinese know how to make dumplings. Imagine how wonderful it is when the family are eating the delicious dumplings together!

The journey to and from school is a major (主要的)reason for stress throughout the world. Yet one city has found a way to make its train journeys more comfortable.
On two train lines in Beijing, the underground cars (车厢) have been turned into libraries. Instead of real copies of books, the underground cars provide e-books.
When passengers get into the cars, they can see pictures of different book covers on the walls and even doors. Once they've made their choice, they can use a mobile phone to scan the QR code (扫二维码) on the cover of their chosen book. The QR code leads to an e-book app, on which the passengers can read the e-book for free.
And they can still enjoy the book on the app even after leaving the train.
In this way, the journey will not be boring any longer, and passengers will not complain about the journey either. In fact, in this kind of special library, the books can go on forever!
