There is a tiny island in Japan. Many cats live there. There are more cats than people there!

People call the island “Cats Island”. Around 120 cats live there. Many tourists visit the island. They feed the cats.

The cats have no natural predators (天敌) on the island. That is why there are so many of them!

Martin,a man from America,began to lose his sight (视力) around 20 years ago. In 2005,he was completely blind. His disease was serious,and doctors could not help him. However,ten years later,Martin can see again!

Doctors gave him a special device. They call it a bionic (仿生学的) eye,but it looks like sunglasses. It sees instead of his eyes and it sends the information to his brain. Martin can see now,and he is very happy.

The First Folio is a book with 36 plays by William Shakespeare (1564—1616) . It includes the most famous ones,such as Hamlet and Romeo & Juliet.

People first published (出版) the book seven years after Shakespeare's death. There are only 230 copies of this book in the world.
