My mother was telling me about how she and her family got their first television when she was a teenager. Of course it was black and white. She said she only watched it at night. She doesn't remember over watching it in the morning or afternoon. When she was young she had only about 3 or 4 different channels (頻道) .Her bothers,sisters and she would sometimes fight (打架) about which channel to watch. But we usually enjoyed the same shows.

   Now we can get hundreds of channels on TV. I can't believe it!There are channels with old films,cooking,fishing and so on. It's surprising!There is a channel for everything. I wonder how much my bothers,my sisters and I would fight if we had hundreds of channels when I was a child. Of course we had only one television set. These days I find families with 2 or 3 or more television sets in their homes. I guess it stops people from arguing (吵架) about which channel to choose from.(江蘇泰州)

  As young students,you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big,such as winning the Nobel Prize;they can also be small,such as becoming one of the best students in your class.

   Once you find a dream,what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream real?

   Andrew Matthews,an Australian writer,tells us that making your dreams real is life's biggest challenge. You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects,or that it's impossible for you to become a writer. Those kinds of ideas stop you from realizing your dream.

   In fact ，everyone can realize his dream. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is.

Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want every day and then your dream will come true faster. You should know that a big dream is,in fact,made up of many small dreams.

   You must also never give up your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will help you to get better exam results,while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book.

Push the upside-down glass,holding straight up and down,into a jar of water till the glass is completely covered. When the glass is taken out of the water,the cloth is still dry.

Most people know that Marie Curie was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize, and the first person to win it twice. However, few people know that she was also the mother of a Nobel Prize winner.

Born in September, 1987, Irene Curie was the first of the Curies’ two daughters. Along with nine other children whose parents were also famous scholars, Irene studied in their own school, and her mother was one of the teachers. She finished her high school education at the College of Sévigné in Paris.

Irene entered the University of Paris in 1914 to prepare for a degree in mathematics and physics.
