I liked climbing things when I was a baby. My mother remembers and has told me most of those 36 moments like this one. When I was one and a half years old, we lived in our first house in Rue St-Louis. On a hot summer day, my father intended to 37 the roof of our old house. In order to climb up there, he 38 a ladder front of the house.
In my town, 39 could walk outside because the streets were 40 . I was outside watching my father climb on that strange thing. I was curious about why my father disappear at last. So I decided to go up it to 41 why it was impossible to see my father after he reached the 42 of that thing. At 1.5 years old, still a baby wearing pampers, I climbed that ladder to the roof top and started walking 43 . My father did not notice that-he was on the other side occupied with his repairs. It happened that a nice lady in our 44 passed by and 45 me. The nice lady came to my house and 46 my mother of it, who was fearful and 47 ran outside to speak with me.
She really thought I would just 48 that roof, for I was just a baby 49 . She asked me to sit down and stop moving in a 50 way you speak to your babies when they are cuts. 51 , I threw myself flat on the 52 and waited.
My mother climbed the ladder to 53 me up and there I was enjoying the view laughing at my mother’s shocked face. 54 the saying goes, “He who knows nothing 55 nothing.”

Today I felt very uncomfortable studying English as usual.My eyes were 36 and my mind was confused.I buried my head deep in the great pile of books.Many vocabulary words 37 my mind.As more and more entered,I 38 focus,and my 39 became crazy.The clock hands were pointing at twelve. I always 40 the time when I study.Without any fruitful results,I felt more 41 and tired.I 42 up and walked to the living room just to take a little break. 43 that would make me feel better.The street lamps looked like stars outside the window.A few scattered(分散的)branches 44 shadows on the French window.Something seemed more 45 and quiet than before.I walked to the 46 slowly,and let my face press against it, 47 very carefully
…oh my God!!…It’s snow! It was very bright and covered up the whole 48 while I was studying English painfully, so white and so quiet.At this moment, I was so 49 that I felt like I might burst into tears.The snow was like a spring 50 into my heart,and my eyes were shining with it.All my pain and tiredness 51 at this moment,as the snow dropped into my heart.
I quickly became calm again as the excitement went away.I sat on the bed silently,and drew the 52 to one side to let the white house and white tree stay just beside my bed.I thought this must be a(n) 53 from God,because I liked snow so much. 54 I was weakest and most helpless in this world,nothing could inspire me but 55 .I should inspire myself from such a beautiful scene.

I was reading these interesting stories behind a group of great logos in the world. Personally Nike is my favorite one – it’s so simple. And I liked the stories behind them, which made me forget all other things. McDonald’s, Apple, Mercedes Benz and Adidas own great logos as well, and they are among my favorites.
Nike
In the Greek myth, Nike is the goddess of victory and the source of inspiration for soldiers. This logo represents the wing in the famous statue of the Greek goddess. Nike’s logo was designed by Carolyn Davidson in 1971 for $ 35, and was registered as a trademark in 1995.
McDonald’s
The logo was designed in 1962 by Jim Schindler to resemble the archshaped(拱形的) signs on the side of the company’s then walk-up hamburger stand. Later on, the two golden arches were combined together to form the M. The McDonald’s name was added to the logo in 1968.
Apple
There are different stories behind Apple’s logo. The first logo was a reference to the religious story of Adam and Eve, in which the apple represented the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. One year later, the second logo was designed in 1977 by Steve Jobs and Ronald Wayne, and it described Sir Isaac Newton sitting under an apple tree. This logo didn’t stay long. One year later it was replaced almost immediately by graphic designer Rob Janoff’s “rainbow apple”, a rainbow-colored silhouette(轮廓)of an apple with a bite taken out of it. And then the rainbow-colored apple was replaced by the one-colored logo in 1998. It has not been changed so far.
Mercedes Benz
The Mercedes Benz logo, which was originally created by Gottlieb Daimler in 1909, consists of a simple description of a three-pointed star that represents its rule of the land, the sea and the air. The company was founded by Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach. Mercedes is the name of Maybach’s elder daughter, while Benz came as a result of a combination with Benz, Cie and DMG in 1926.
Adidas
The Adidas logo, which was created by the founder of the company Adi Dassler, represents mountains, pointing towards the challenges that are seen ahead and goals that can be achieved. The logo was used for the first time in 1967.
