1. Thirty years ago， Lake Ponkapog was full of life. Many birds and animals lived beside the water， which was full of fish. Now there are few birds， animals and fish. The lake water is polluted. It is filled with strange plants.

2. How did this happen? First， we must think about how water gets into Lake Ponkapog. When it rains， water comes into the lake from all around. In the past， there were forests all round Lake Ponkapog， so the rainwater was clean.

3. Now there are many homes around the lake. People often use chemicals in their gardens. They use other chemicals for cleaning or killing insects. There are many factories using chemicals in their machines. When it rains， the rainwater picks up all the chemicals from homes and factories and then carries them into the lake. They pollute the water and kill the animals.

4. Boats on the lake are also a problem. Lake Ponkapog is a popular place for motorboats. But oil and gas（汽油）often get into the lake， so more bad chemicals go into the water in this way.

5. People around the lake love their lake and want to save it. A clean lake must have clean rainwater going into it. Clean rainwater is possible ，only if people are careful about chemicals at home and at work. They must also be more careful about gas and oil and other chemicals on the ground. And they mustn't use motorboats any more on the lake. All these may change people's lives. Only then can Lake Ponkapog be a beautiful clean lake again.

Ma Yun became one of the richest men in China when his company Alibaba went on the stock（股票)market last year with a value of around 140 billion-the largest public offering in history. Here are some stories about him on the way to success.

Ma made his first trip to the a US in 1995 and used the Internet for the first time. After searching for “beer”， he saw that no results came up about China. Then he searched for “China” and still saw no results. He decided to set up a Chinese website--the seed for Alibaba was sown(播种).

Ma said he was refused many times in his life. He failed the College Entrance Examination in China three times and few companies offered him jobs， including one at KFC. And he was refused by the famous Harvard University 10 times.

It was difficult to learn English when Ma was a teenager because of limited resources. However， he found that he could learn English well by giving tourists free guides around his hometown Hangzhou. And he kept it for nine years. Ma said that tourists opened up a new world for him because everything they said and did was so different from what he had been taught at school and by his parents.

Ma’s hero is Forest Gump who never gives up. When he made a speech about his success at Davos(达沃斯论坛)in 2015，Ma said， “Life is like a box of chocolates because you never know what you are going to get.”
