Mother Teresa was born in Yugoslavia (南斯拉夫),on August 27,1910. She attended the government school near her home until she was eighteen. At that time, some doctors and nurses from Yugoslavia were working in India, and they often wrote to the school about their work. She decided to join them one day.
When she left school, she went first to Britain. Then a year later she went to India, where she began to train to be a teacher. After training, she was sent to Calcutta, where she taught geography at a school and soon after became headmistress (校长).

At five he was collecting old newspapers to make money. And when he was 15 he signed his schoolmates up to start a baby-sitting circle.
Now 20, third-year Cambridge University student, Peter Blackburn is managing director of a company with a £ 30,000 plan. And he thinks it will make more than $15,000 by next summer.
He set up Peter Black born Ltd last year to bring out a new, color term-planner that now students all over the UK are using.
“I felt that most of the planners going around were pretty unimaginative,” he says, “I believed that I could do a better job and decided to have a go”.
Blackburn admits that he is putting far more effort into business than his computer studies course at university. While fellow students are out with their friends, he keeps in touch with his business office in Lancashire by movable phone. Before he set up the company he spent one holiday preparing a plan that would persuade his bank to lend him money.
“Most students work hard for a good degree because they believe that will help them get a job to support themselves,” he says “I work hard at my company, because that is what will support me next year, after I leave college.”
Friends believe that Blackburn will make £ 1 million within 5 years.

     Canberra, the capital of Australia, lies in the southeast of the country. From this city, it is 240 kilometres
to Sydney, and over twice to Melbourne. Sydney faces the Pacific Ocean, and Melboume is close to the Bass
Strait through which ships from Sydney can enter the Indian Ocean.
     When the Federal government of Australia was formed in 1901, no one knew where Australia's capital
would be. The two cities of Sydney and Melbourne both wanted the honour. Instead, the founding fathers
chose a piece of land between the two cities for the new capital. The govemment would build a new city
called Canberra as the country's capital.
     In 1991, the govemment invited the world leading architects (建筑师) to enter designs for Canberra in a
contest (比赛). An architect from Chicago (芝加哥) named Walter Griffin won. The government decided to
build Canberra according to his plan. Men started to work on Canberra in 1913. Twenty-four years later, the
city was finished. But the government moved to this new city ten years before it was completed.
     At one time, almost everyone in Canberra worked for the government. However, the city today has become
a centre of education and a favorite place for tourists (观光者). Now people can hold a govemment job, or
they can work in business. They also make a living by teaching or meeting the needs of tourists.
     People find life in Canberra very relaxing and pleasant. The crty is surrounded by beautiful mountains
where people can ski (滑雪). There is a large man-made lake lined with beaches (海滩) and parks in the centre
of Canberra. Canberra is now Australia's largest island city. Many people living there have come from other
cities in Australia and from other lands. They have come to Canberra to work. Some have come to get away
from the busier way of life found in many other cities.
