The Olympic mascots are the Olympic torch (火焰), the fish, the panda, the Tibetan gazelle (藏羚羊) and
the swallow (燕子). The panda is named "Jingjing". He was chosen because he makes children smile and
brings the blessing of happiness wherever he goes. He was chosen to show China's wish to protect nature.
Unlike the well-known panda, the Tibetan antelope is considered much sportier than other chosen animals.
"I can run 70-100 km per hour. So you see, I'm a perfect symbol (象征) of the Olympics-'higher, faster and
stronger'." Says the athlete, whose name is "Yingying".
The fish, "Beibei" stands for prosperity (繁荣). She will represent (代表) water sports. "Nini", the swallow
stands for a good luck and wish for a better life. She will represent gymnastics (体操). The Olympics flame,
"Huanhuan" gives out enthusiasm (热情) and best wishes for the Olympics. He will represent ball games.
Many teenagers are surprised that Beijing will have mascots but very excited that they will have more
choices when shopping for souvenirs (纪念品).
"I hope there will be a cartoon in which these mascots are the main characters, doing different sports. So
the whole world will have a better understanding of the Chinese spirit," said one teenager.

Betty is not a traditional American beauty. She is unfashionable, has thick red glasses, untidy hair and large metal braces (牙套) on her teeth. But this hasn’t stopped her from becoming one of American’s favorite TV characters. So how did she manage to do it?
The answer is that charm can be more attractive than beauty. Betty is the main character in a TV show Ugly Betty. The show is about her life as an office worker at a fashion magazine in New York.
The TV show has just started. Betty has many exciting experiences and romantic stories. Betty is often looked down on and laughed at by the people around. But she manages to do better than others with her hard work, charm and wisdom. The show tells us about how a girl goes from an ugly young duck into a beautiful swan.
Though you may know the ending of the show from the beginning and the story is familiar to many of us, it has still been a big success in the USA. It has attracted a large number of viewers and won two Golden Globes awards, one of the highest honors for a television program in the USA.“ I think you can see a bit of Betty in all of us, and I mean men as well, because it’s about the underdog (弱者)”，says Ashley Jensen, who plays one of the characters on the show.

We were standing at the top of a church not far from my home. I didn’t know why.
“Look down,” Father said. I tried and saw the square in the center of the village. And I saw the streets to the square. “See, Elsa,” Father said. “There is more than one way to the square. If you can’t get where you want to go by one road, try another.”
