In ancient China, the State of Wu made an attack on the State of Yue．The king of Wu was badly hurt and soon died．His son Fu Chai became the new king．Fu was very sad and angry and he decided to fight back for his father’s death．He trained his army strictly until it was very strong．Three years later, he led his army against the State of Yue and caught its king Gou Jian, who was taken to the State of Wu．
Gou Jian was put into a small black stone house which was full of terrible smell and was made to raise(饲养) horses．Gou worked hard and tried to keep himself quiet, but he never forgot his pain．Many years later, he was set free．Gou secretly trained his army after he went back to his own state．In order to make himself strong－minded he slept on firewood and ate a gall bladder before having dinner and going to bed every night．After a few years, his country became strong once more．Then Gou took hold of a golden chance to fight against Wu and won the war in the end．
If one voluntarily(自愿) works very hard and voluntarily stands up to pains and difficulties in order to succeed, we might call him a “Gou Jian”, and his story, a “Gou Jian’s story”．

Imagine this：a television screen has the size and thickness of a piece of paper．You carry it around in your pocket and take it out when you want to watch a show．Imagine a guitar so tiny that you can't see it with the human eye, but you can hear sound when its strings are pulled．
Nanotechnology(纳米技术)is the science that deals with doing things in a very small way, and it is being studied and developed all over the world．Many scientists say nanotechnology will produce the next industrial revolution(工业革命)．
Perhaps nanotechnology will have the biggest influence on medical science．Imagine nanobots(纳米机器人)in medicine．Thousands or even millions of tiny machines can be sent into the human body with specific tasks．For example, theycan be designed to find and destroy cancer cells or viruses(病毒)．Other machines may stay in the human body forever to help organs(器官)that are not working properly．
When could all of these happen?Scientists predict that most of these are possible in the next 30 years．Thousands of scientists around the world are working on these micro-machines．Nanotechnology is just around the corner．

Fashion is moving into the twenty-first century．A coat can change its color with the weather; a shirt with stripes(条纹)that will disappear while you are wearing it; a blouse can be worn for days and days without a bad smell…These are not dreams of scientists．They were made possible in the fashion world．
A jacket changes its color in warm weather and costs between ＄40 and ＄5, 000．Peter White, a designer, says“There are not much more designers can do with the old cloth．They need to make new kinds of cloth to keep fashion interesting．”
Massimo Osti is the man who has brought this unusual cloth to the shops．Another of Osti's inventions has a design of the company's trademark(商标)on the chest, which disappears when you
breathe on it．Now there is a special kind of leisure wear(休闲服)for golfers who like to practice in any kind of weather．As golfers leave the warm club house, their clothes will change from white to rainbow(彩虹)of colors．
A Japanese company has developed a man-made fiber(纤维), it can absorb(吸收)sunlight and keep the wearer up to 10℃warmer than usual fibers．A kind of new cloth for ski-wear can turn black to absorb sunlight when the temperature drops to below zero, and change to white at above 5℃．
In the Far East and Europe, there are many blouses which have a pleasing smell．The sweet smell lasts up to three hand-washes．

Zheng He, the Columbus of the East, was an amazing man．
He was born in 1371 and, 11 years later, was caught by the army of a rich young man called Zhu Di and made to work for him．Over time the rich man saw that Zheng He was very clever and strong and they became close friends．In 1403 Zhu Di was made the King of China and he asked Zheng He to join his new government．
The King wanted to learn more about the world and show other countries his power．He ordered many new ships to be built and made Zheng He their leader．Between 1405 and 1433, Zheng He led seven sea trips to different parts of the world．He certainly travelled to India, Africa and the Middle East．A few people think his ships may have even reached South America and Australia．
Each trip lasted between two and four years and it is believed he sailed more than 50 000 kms during the years of his travels．With 28 000 men and over 300 ships, such as boats for food, water and even soldiers' horses, Zheng He led a fleet(舰队)whose size would not be equalled by Europeans for over 500 years I
On these trips he brought with him many Chinese goods like silk and medicine to give to foreign kings or to sell for local goods．He returned from each trip with boats filled with expensive things such as gold and jewellery, foreign guests and strange animals like a giraffe．
It is a pity that we may never learn everything about Zheng He s travels．After he died in 1433, the new king, who believed these trips were unlucky and too expensive, had them stopped and he burned almost all the books about Zheng He’s travels．It is only in the last 50 years that historians have begun to carefully study the adventures of the great Zheng He．

Colors can be seen everywhere．We see them in the sky and in the sea．There are colors in rocks and in all plants and animals．Everything we see has colors．We see the colorful world．How can we see colors? We see colors when light hits our eyes．Dogs and many other animals can't see colors．But bees can．This helps them find flowers to fly to．
We sometimes use the means of colors to express our feelings．People may say that they see red when they are angry．Or you may say you feel blue．This means you are sad．We also use colors to tell us things．Red is the color of stopping signs．Green means that you can go．
Animals come in all kinds of colors．Many of these are very pretty．An animal's color may say "Here I am．" or "Watch out"．Or it may help the animal to hide．Some animals can make their colors similar to their surroundings (周围的事物)．Then they can't be seen easily．

Computer games are just fun, I have been playing them for years, and I have become really good at it．Some of my classmates think that I’m
quite special．What’s so special about that?
One day I was having lunch at school．Suddenly a girl I didn’t know came and sat next to me“What do you do for fun?”She asked．“I am a gamer,”I said in a low voice．“A gamer!”She couldn’t believe what I was saying and she burst into laughter, with all the apple pie out of her mouth．
Most people think gaming is suitable for boys, but not for girls．Mayby I should cut my hair short and change my actions so that I look like a boy．
Actually, most boys don’t feel there is anything wrong with my hobby．I have met many boy gamers－some online and some face-to-face．None of them think badly about me being a girl gamer．I have made some good friends with them．
Playing compter games is also a kind of relaxing．I don’t know why people feel strange about girls who play games．Girls who play games do it for the same reason as boys do：it’s something fun to do in your spare time．

I remember my seventh grade math．teacher’s name very well．It was Mr Young．He was missing one of his fingers．
For some reason 1 was not very good in schoo1．Math was my worst subject．There was just something wrong with my brain．No matter how hard I tried, I just could not figure out why I did not understand what all the other kids found to be so easy to learn．
One day, I was told that if I got one more E on my report card, I would be sent away to a very strict schoo1．I tried really hard for weeks to learn math．I just couldn’t understand the math problems no matter how hard I tried．
The day before report cards were to come out, I knew that Mr Young would give me an E, just like he always did．After class ended, 1 went to him and told him that they were going to send me to another school if I got another E on my report card．He told me that there was nothing he could do．It would be unfair to the other kids if he gave me a better grade than I had actually earned．
I looked at the teacher and said,“Mr Young, do you know how the kids laugh at you because you’re missing your finger?”He looked at me and said nothing．“They shouldn’t do that to you because you can’t help you not having a finger, Mr Young．It’s just like I can’t help not being able to learn numbers and stuff like that,” I said．
The next day while on the school bus, I opened the report card envelope and looked at my math grade：D．
That math grade was my favorite one I ever received in my whole life, because I knew that someone in the world finally understood what it was like for me to be missing a finger inside my head．
