When I read “Would he love me?”, I always wondered if my dad cared about me. I used to think about him all the time, especially on Father’s Day. All the kids would be with their dads and they would ask me where my dad was, so I would tell them that he was out of town. Tha was all that I could really say because I didn’t know. For all your kids who have a dad, tell him how much you love him, becaue there are plenty of kids who would love to have a dad.

        his article describes everything about me and my life. When I was 3, my mother and father had a big argument and got divorced(离婚). Now I’m 13 years old. Just like Martha, I don’t know what he looks like now, whether or not he’s gotten married to a different woman, or if he has children. No matter what, I will always love my father, Albert Abidian.
Briana Collura
      
After I read “Would he love me?” I felt terrible. I never thought about how life would be without my dad. When Martha talked about how “most girls have dads who take them to their practices, buy them things and play with them,” I thought, I am one of those girls. I never stopped to think about how there are girls like Martha who have always dreamed of having those things but don’t have a father.

     Ed Viesturs grew up in Rockford,Illinois,where the tallest thing on the horizon was the water tower.But
on Thursday,Viesturs became the only American to climb to the top of the world's 14 highest mountains.
     His last hike was up Mount Annapurna,in Asia's snowcapped Himalayas.At 26,545 feet,its peak is the
10th highest in the world,It is the mountain that inspired him to start climbing.
     "It tends to be the trickiest,the most dangerous,"said Viesturs."There's no simple way to climb it.There
are threatening avalanches(雪崩)and ice falls that protect the mountain."
     In high school,Viesturs read French climber Maurice Herzog's tale of climbing the icy Annapurna.

ago,he set out to walk up to the world's highest peaks.Finally,he's done.
     The pioneering climber talks about mountains as if they were living creatures that should be treated with
respect."You have to use all of your senses,all of your abilities to see if the mountain will let you climb it,
"said Viesturs."If we have the patience and the respect,and if we're here at the right time,under the right 
circumstances,they allow us to go up,and allow us to come down."
     What's next for a man who can't stop climbing?"I'm going to hug my wife and kids and kind of kick
back and enjoy the summer,"says Viesturs.But for a man who's climbed the world's 14 tallest mountains,
he will probably soon set off on yet another adventure.

     Lillian Hanson, a college student, expects to graduate in about two years. What makes Mrs. Hanson
different from her classmates is her age-----73 years. She has been studying at college, a few courses at
a time, for 27 years.
     When Lillian Hanson graduated from high school, she went to the bank to borrow money for further
education. The banker gave her no encouragement. He didn't think that a country girl should borrow
money to go to college. He thought she should be at home doing work in the house or around the farm.
So Lillian Hanson went home and raised a family of nine children instead of going to college. Mrs. Hanson never forgot her dream of getting a higher education. When her children were grown, she tried again.
     She finds that it is the hardest part of going back to school at her age to sit in class for long periods of
time. Because she is not as quick as she used to be, Mrs. Hanson often gets up and walks around classes
to keep from getting stiff(不灵活). At the beginning of a course in using the computer, the other students
all stood up to give her a warm welcome when she introduced herself and explained why she was there
and what her aims were.

      Niels Henrik David Bohr was born in Copenhagen on October 7,1885, as the son of Christian
Bohr, Professor of Physiology at Copenhagen University, and his wife Ellen. Niels, together with his
younger brother Harald, grew up in an atmosphere most favorable to the development of his gift-his
father was a great physiologist, who encouraged his interest in physics while he was still at school, and
his mother came from a family successful in the field of education.
     In 1903, Bohr entered Copenhagen University where he came under the guidance of Professor C.
Christiansen, a highly gifted physicist, and gained his master's degree in physics in 1909 and two years
later his doctorate.
     While still a student, the announcement by the Academy of Sciences in Copenhagen of a prize to
be awarded for the solution to a certain scientific problem, caused him to conduct an experimental and
theoretical investigation of surface tension (表面张力). This work, which he carried out in his father's
laboratory and for which he received the prize offered (a gold medal), was published in the  
Transactions of the Royal Society in 1908.
      In the autumn of 1911 he went to Cambridge University, where he profited by following the
experimental work going on in the Cavendish Laboratory under Sir J. J.Thomson's guidance. In
19131914 Bohr held a lectureship in physics  at Copenhagen University and in 19141916 a similar
appointment at the Victoria University in Manchester. In  1916 he was appointed Professor of
Theoretical Physics at Copenhagen University, and from 1920 (until his death in 1962) he was the head
of the Institute for Theoretical Physics, established for him at that university.

     The Chinese-born American architect Ieoh Ming Pei is one of the most creative architects of our times.
He has incorporated both eastern and western ideas into his designs.
     Ieoh Ming Pei was born in Guangzhou, China on April 26, 1917. His father was a famous banker. In 1935,
at the age of 17, he came to the United States to study architecture at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
In 1942, he entered the Harvard Graduate School of Design.
     In 1964, Jacqueline Kennedy selected Pei to design the Kennedy library. After that he became well-known
all of the world. People named it one of the Ten Best Buildings in the United States. In 1968, Pei started work
on the East Wing of the National Gallery of Art, in Washington D.C.. Over one million people visited the
building during its first 50 days in existence.
     Following the East Wing project Pei's fame has continued to grow widely. In 1983, French President
commissioned (委任) Pei to help make the Louvre more modern. Ten years later, the completion of Pei's glass
pyramid at the Louvre created a new historic landmark for Paris. Pei described it as, "the greatest challenge
and greatest accomplishment of my career." At Fragrant Hill, a 300-room hotel in the Chinese capital, Pei has
attempted to bring to his native China his often-quoted "third way of making buildings." Avoiding both a
complete copying of traditional Chinese motifs (特色) as well as the modernism of the West, Pei has managed,
at Fragrant Hill, to make one of his most eloquent (有说服力的) statements.
     Pei has designed nearly 50 projects in the United States and abroad. About half of these projects have won
major awards. Pei has been awarded the highest honors from nations over the world. In 1990, Pei was
awarded the Medal of Freedom by President George Bush for his contributions to world peace and service to
the US government.
