Last Saturday，I went to visit the museum with my classmates．We were interesting in dinosaurs，but we came to the Dinosaur World first．There we see many fossils of different kind of dinosaurs．We were both amazed when the guide showed us some dinosaur eggs which they were laid about 9.5 million years ago．
Then we came to another hall，where many old Chinese inventions were in show．When I saw thiose old things，I felt proud of being Chinese．I think the visit very meaningfully．I should study harder to be inventor in the future and make contributions to build our great motherland．

6．In October 1800，John Todd was born in Rutland，Vermont．Soon afterward，his parents moved to Killingworth，Connecticut．When John was six，both his parents died．A kind-hearted aunt in North Killingworth agreed to take John and give him a home．He was brought up by her and lived in her home until he left to study for the ministry．
His aunt took seriously ill and feared she was about to die．In great suffering she wrote John Todd a letter in which she asked him to tell her what death would be like．
Here is the letter he sent in reply：
It is now thirty-five years since I，as a little boy of six，was left quite alone in the world．You sent me word you would give me a home and be a kind mother to me．I have never forgotten the day when I made the long journey of ten miles to your house in North Killingworth．I can still remember my disappointment when，instead of coming for me yourself，you sent your servant James to fetch me．
I well remembered my tears and anxiety as，sitting high on your horse and sticking tight to James，I rode off to my new home．Night fell before we finished the journey，and as it grew dark I became lonely and afraid．"Do you think she'll go to bed before we get there？"I asked James anxiously．"Oh，no，"he said encouragingly．"She'll stay up for you．When we get out of these woods you'll see her candle shining in the window．"
Presently we did ride out into the clearing，and there，sure enough，was your candle．I remember you were waiting at the door，that you put your arms close about me and that you lifted me-a tired and confused little boy-down from the horse．You had a fire burning on the ground，a hot supper waiting on the stove．After supper you took me to my new room，heard me say my prayers，and then sat beside me until I fell asleep．
You probably realize why I am recalling all this to your memory．Some day soon God will send for you，to take you to a new home．Don't fear the callings，the strange journey，or the dark messenger of death who will fetch you．God can be trusted to do as much for you as you were kind enough to do for me so many years ago．At the end of the road you will find love and a welcome waiting，and you will be safe in God's care．I shall watch you and pray for you till you are out of sight，and then wait for the day when I shall make the same journey myself and find you waiting at the end of the road to greet me．

2．What Is Today's American Dream
They may not have called it the American Dream，but for centuries people have gone to America in search of freer，happier，and richer lives．But is today's American Dream a mythical concept or still a reality？
Isabel Belarsky's tiny Brooklyn apartment fills with the sound of her father's voice．Sidor Belarsky sings an Aria in Russian and 90-year-old Isabel，her lips painted an elegant red，sways gently to the song coming from her stereo．
Isabel speaks with pride about her father's talent and his success as an opera singer：Albert Einstein was such a fan she says that he invited Sidor to accompany him on his speaking engagements and would ask him to sing to the audience．
How the Belarskys came to be in America is an extraordinary tale that Isabel loves to tell．It was the offer of a six-month job by a Mormon college president，who had seen Sidor singing in Leningrad，that enabled the Belarskys to escape from Stalin's Russia in 1930．"Our dream was being in America，"Isabel says．"They loved it．My mother could never think of Russia，it was her enemy and my father，he made such a wonderful career here．"
Like generations of immigrants before them，the Belarskys came to America in search of freedom-to them the American Dream meant liberty．But Isabel says it promised even more．"The dream is to work，to have a home and to get ahead．You can start as a janitor and become the owner of the building．"
The American Dream is not written into the constitution but it is so ingrained in the national psyche that it might as well be．Many point to the second sentence in the Declaration of Independence-the"certain unalienable rights"that include"life，liberty and the pursuit of happiness"as the"official"version of the phrase．But it was actually in 1931that the term was popularized，when historian James Truslow Adams wrote in The Epic of America that the Dream means"a better，richer，and happier life for all our citizens of every rank"．
The concept of the American Dream has not stayed static．For European immigrants，like Isabel，fleeing persecution in the first half of the last century，the Dream was about a life without persecution．
But somewhere in the middle of the last century the dream changed．As America's post war economy boomed，the new arrivals wanted more than freedom-they wanted a share of the prosperity as well．
In the 1950s，TV commercials featured housewives proudly showing off kitchens filled with gleaming appliances．The quest for liberation became a quest for Coca Cola．As the century wore on，the materialistic slant of the dream overtook the political side．Dallas and Dynasty suggested this was a country where it was possible to become not just rich，but filthily rich．
Cheyanne Smith was shocked at the deprivation that greeted her in America．She arrived in New York from the Caribbean seven years ago．Having watched endless American TV shows as a child，she thought she knew what to expect when her family moved to Brooklyn．Instead，the deprivation of one of New York's poorest neighbourhoods shocked her．
"I thought this is not America because this is not what I see on television，"she says．Like Cheyanne，18-year-old Franscisco Curiel is also ambitious．He came from Mexico City three years ago to go to college here but he's worried that Brooklyn's schools aren't going to give him a good enough education．"The system is broken； we can't get the superior education that they supposedly want to give us，"he says．
Through the centuries America's immigrants have endured terrible hardship and sacrifice so that they and their children can get ahead．Perhaps it's not surprising to hear the members of the Bushwick youth group lament the multiple，low paid jobs that their parents must do simply to get the rent paid and put food on the table．What is startling is that these bright，ambitious youngsters just don't believe that talent and hard work are enough to ensure they will ever have a shot at that mythical American Dream．
