Chinese athlete Liu Xiang,winner of gold medal in the men's 110m hurdles at the Althens Olympics,published his book,I'm Liu Xiang,recently in his hometown of Shanghai.
It seems that many people can't help comparing Liu Xiang with another Shanghai native,basketball giant(巨星)Yao Ming,who also recently published his book,A Life in Two Worlds.Manager Dai,the editor of the book I'm Liu Xiang,explained the differences between the two books as he saw them.Firstly,Yao's book was written mainly for Americans,while Liu's readers will be mainly Chinese.Secondly,A Life in Two Worlds was written in the third person singular(单数)by an American writer who recorded Yao Ming's stories.I'm Liu Xiang was written in the first person and included many articles from his diaries.Lastly,according to Dai,Yao enjoyed the advantage of being born in a sporty,rich family,unlike Liu,who came from a working class family and therefore had to go through greater hardship(艰难)before becoming a world-known athlete.So if you enjoy reading about mental(精神上的)suffering and physical pain,read I'm Liu Xiang.If you want to practice your English,read A life in Two Worlds.

Photography is about taking photographs. In 1826, a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business. But he was not a good artist. So he invented a very simple camera. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his garden. That was the first photograph.
The next important date in the history of photograph was 1837. That year, Daguerre, another Frenchman, took a picture of his studio. He used a new kind of camera and a different process. In his pictures, you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest details. This kind of photograph was called a daguerreotype.
Soon, other people began to use Daguerre’s process. Travelers brought back daguerreotypes from all around the world. People photographed famous buildings, cities and mountains.
In about 1840, the process was improved. The photographers could take pictures of people and moving things. The process was not simple. The photographers had to carry lots of films and processing equipment(设备). But this did not stop the photographers, especially in the United States.
Mathew Brady was a well-known American photographer. He took many pictures of famous people. The pictures were unusual because they were very life-like and full of personality. Brady was also the first person to take pictures of war. His 1862 Civil War pictures showed dead soldiers and destroyed cities. They made the war seem more real and more terrible.
In the 1880s, new inventions began to change photograph. Photographers could buy films readymade in rolls(卷). So they did not have to make the film themselves. Also, they did not have to process(冲洗) the film at once. They could bring it back to their studios and develop it later. They did not have to carry lots of equipment. And finally, the invention of the small hand-held camera made photography less expensive.
Photography is also a form of art. Some photographs were not just copies of the real world. They showed ideas and feelings, like other art forms.

People like to say “Thank you” when others help them or say something kind for them. It is a very good habit.
You should say “Thank you” when someone walking ahead of you keeps the door open for you, when someone says you have done your work well, or you have bought a nice thing, or your city is beautiful. We can use “Thank you” not only between friends, but also between parents and children, brothers and sisters.
“Excuse me” is another short sentence we often use. When you hear someone say so behind you, you know that somebody wants to walk pass you without touching you. When others are talking, if you want to speak to one of them, say “Excuse me” first, and then begin talking. You should also do so when you begin to cough or make any noise before others.
Let’s learn to say “Thank you” and “Excuse me”.

I am a person who can get angry 26 . But after 27 a passage from my English teacher, things have changed 28 . I am studying at a boarding school, so I have to learn 29 how to study well, but how to get on well with others. Some of us are 30 while others are quiet. So it is 31 that people have problems and arguments.
Smiling at others is the easiest way to stop argument. Another way is to think 32 your ideas are right before having an argument. If others’ ideas are really not good, keep and open 33 . Try to forgive(原谅)them. Having a friend is 34 better than having an enemy after all. Also, 35 point out others’ mistakes 36 . If you really want to help them, send a letter 37 . On the other hand, if someone points out your disadvantages, don’t 38 . Just think this is a person who really wants to help you and make friends 39 you. Remember: Forgiving makes life 40 .
