 The workers who brought the girl to the orphanage(孤儿院) knew little about her. The street where they found her had been her home for many years. Her parents were unknown. They left her long ago. At the orphanage, the girl, like all the children there, was taught to read and write. While she was studying at the orphanage, she learned something else－to be independent(独立). At twenty-one, she left the orphanage and began to work as a secretary. And then, in 1975, while she was still working as an ordinary secretary, something special happened. She entered the Miss Hong Kong Competition and won it. This was the turning point in her life. Now her name, Mary Cheung, was known to everybody.  

Mary entered the competition because she wanted to show that orphanage girls could be something. Winning the competition gave her the chance to start a new life. This led her first into television and then into business as a manager. When she was working as a manager, she had trouble with her reports. "My English just wasn't good enough. " she says. Luckily, she had a boyfriend (who later became her husband) to help her.

 Mary studied management(管理) at Hong Kong Polytechnic and graduated in 1980. She started her own business in 1985. But she did not stop developing herself. She then studied at the University of Hong Kong. Since 1987, she had spent a lot of time on photography(摄影). She has held several exhibitions of her works in many places－China, New Zealand and Paris. She still found time, however, to work on TV, write for newspapers and support her family.  

 The girl from the street has come a long way, but her journey has not finished yet.  

Singapore, July 12－many people enjoy chewing(咀嚼) gum, but in 1992 Singapore decided to make it against the law. The government said that people were not careful about throwing away used gum. Instead, they dropped it on sidewalks and on the streets where it made a big mess. Chewing gum also got stuck in the doors of the underground trains so that the doors didn't close properly. This meant the trains didn't run on time. Singapore said that people had to give up chewing gum or pay a lot of money to the government. During the time without chewing gum, the streets and underground trains of Singapore were clean.

Now the government of Singapore is changing the rules a little. Some dentists say that chewing sugarless gum can help take care of people's teeth. Now the government says that people will be able to buy special kinds of gum at drugstores for health reasons. Other kinds of gum are still not allowed.

Many people always say that listening to spoken English is too hard for them. But if you don't understand what people are saying, how can you talk with them? It may be difficult, but learning by listening is necessary.

 As we know, different people have different pronunciations of the same word. Standard pronunciation is important for English speaking as well as for listening. In China, people from one area may not understand what people from another area are saying because of the different Chinese dialects(方言). Standard Chinese pronunciation can help people from different places understand each other easily.  

 It is the same as English. If your pronunciation is not standard, it is hard for other people to understand you.  

 If you want to learn how to listen to English, the following ways are helpful.  

 Get some good books with tapes. Do the exercises, from the simple to the difficult, step by step.  

 You can also watch English-language films and TV programs, listen to English-language radio.  

Try to listen every day, even if only a few minutes. At first you may understand few words. Don't give up. Just listen.

 Remember to read and speak English every day. It will help you to listen better, spend an hour reading English every day. Finally you will notice that you are making progress.  

Talk to English-speaking foreigners as often as possible. Foreigners will speak slowly with you, use simple words, and use body language to help you understand them. Don't be afraid to talk to them. They won't mind if you have trouble because they may have more trouble making themselves understood in Chinese.
