Every January we celebrate the life of a great man, Martin Luther King who fought for civil rights. He believed that all Americans should be treated fairly, no matter what their skin colors were.

Dr. King was born in 1929 in Atlanta. Because he was black, he could not go to the same schools as white children. Black Americans also had to use separate restrooms, restaurants, theaters and swimming pools in some states.

Dr. King thought this was wrong. He was a Christian minister(牧师) who worked for equal rights for black people. He helped organize protests to change those unfair laws.

It was a hard fight. Dr. King was attracted and arrested(逮捕) many times. But more and more Americans grew to understand that it was wrong to treat black people differently from white people.

In 1963, Dr. King led many people in a march to Washington, D. C. where there he gave his famous speech “I Have a Dream”. He said people should be judged by their hearts, not by their skin colors. His efforts helped bring about new laws to create equal rights for all Americans.

The third Monday of January is a holiday to celebrate the life of Martin Luther King. We should respect his courage in working to improve the lives of so many people.

It is very normal for people to compare themselves with others. Everyone does it, but it is important to remember that no one is perfect. Other people may look confident, but everyone feels insecure(无自信的) once in a while, even the famous people like Yao Ming. When he was young, he probably felt insecure about being too tall! Other kids in his class probably laughed at him because he was different, although I don’t know if I would have laughed at Yao Ming since he is so much bigger than me! Now, Yao Ming is rich and successful because of his height.

When I was young, I had a friend named Annie. Everyone used to call her “toothpick” because they thought she was too thin. Now, everyone is jealous(嫉妒的) of her because she is thin and beautiful, and they have to always exercise to keep from getting fat. What makes you feel insecure and different may actually be a gift and help you in life. We should celebrate what makes us special and not be afraid to stand out in the crowd.

There is not enough oil in the world now. As time goes by, it becomes less and less. So what are we going to do when oil runs out? Maybe we need the horses again.

In the Second World War, some people didn’t use gas made from petroleum(石油) in their cars. They made gas from wood and plants instead. The car didn’t go fast, but this was better than nothing. However, in the future, we can’t cut down all our trees to make gas.

Besides different types of gas, we can also use electricity to run our cars, but first we must make electricity! Some countries have coal and make electricity with that, but we might not always have coal, either. Other countries have big, strong rivers, and they can use the power of water to turn turbines(涡轮机) and make electricity easily and cheaply.

We are also able to get power from the ocean tides(海潮). When the tide comes in , the water turns the turbines and when it goes out, it turns them again.

1.Is there enough oil in the world now?

2.When might people have to go back to use horses?

3.What did some people use to make gas in the Second World War?

4.What are you able to get from the ocean tides?
