Lisa has always been overweight. She wanted to lose weight, not just because she wanted to1more beautiful and he healthier, but also because it would make life easier. For example, it was2for Lisa to find ready-made clothes that would fit. She had to ask a tailor(裁缝)3clothes that were large enough. In school, she needed a special chair4was bigger and stronger than the other chairs. If she went for a walk, she got tired very quickly. She was also unhappy about the way people treated5sometimes. “People look at me and even make fun of me. That’s unfair! It’s true that I’m overweight, but I don’t think people6treat me differently because I’m big. I can’t enjoy7with my friends because I’m afraid of getting fatter.” Her friends and family never made fun of her. They tried to help her8. They wanted her to be happy and healthy. Sometimes when Lisa was feeling sad, she didn’t want to speak to9.
But now things10quite different. Last month her classmates were preparing for the School11Week. Someone advised Lisa to play the lead role of the proud Queen(女王) who was tall and fat. Lisa12and practiced a lot.
Soon after the play, Lisa became the star! She did13well that everybody remembered the proud Queen. They stood around her and said “14” to her. She even won the School Best Actress Award for her wonderful performance.
Now Lisa doesn’t worry15being fat any more. She believes in the English saying “Every dog has its day.”

Electric bicycles which run on battery-operated (电瓶) motors are winning over riders of ordinary bikes1their speed, quality and environmental advantage.
They were first2on 1980s in China, but the selling was not very good. Today, thanks3improvements on battery quality, the electric bikes sell well. There are now more than 100 electric bicycle producers in China and 26 million such bicycles were produced in 2011. Japan is another large4of such bicycles in the world with a total production reaching 381,72lin 2010.
5China is one of the largest producers of electric bicycles in the world, the6of its producers with mass production (大批量生产) is actually small.
Electric bicycles are still7in China. Time is needed for people to become familiar with them and accept them. Each bike’s price of between 2,000 yuan (US $318) and 3,000 yuan (US $477) is still8for ordinary citizens (民众). Although such bikes are quick, safe and9to operate, their batteries still have shortcomings (不足). They weigh more than 10 kilograms; their service life is10two years and they11400 yuan each.
There were more than 450 million bikes in China in 2006. If just one percent of all these bikes are replaced by electric12, the market will be very large. And13the battery is further improved and the price is14, many of us will not be able to keep back from15the latest electric bikes
