Life is not easy，so I'd like to say"When anything （81）happens，believe in yourself!"When I was a young boy，I was too shy to speak to anyone．My classmates often laughed （82）at me．I was sad but could do nothing．Later，something happened，and it （83）changed my life．It was an English speech contest．My mother asked me to take （84）part in it．What a terrible idea!It meant I had to speak （85）before all the teachers and students of my school!
"Come on，boy．Believe in yourself!You are sure to （86）win．"Then mother and I talked about many different topics．At last I （87）chose the topic"Believe in yourself"．I tried my best to remember all the speech and （88）practiced it over 100times．With my mother's great love，I did well in the contest．I could （89）hardly believe my ears when the news came that I had won the first place．I heard the cheers from the teachers and students．Those classmates who once looked （90）down on me，now all said congratulations to me．

Life is full of surprise．Xie Yi，a 48-year-old Chinese chemist，（66）knows this well．
On March 18，Xie received the L-Oreal?UNESCO Women in Science Award for her achievements in chemistry．It is （67）generally known as the female （女性的）"Nobel Prize"in science．
Xie is a professor at the University of Science and Technology of China．She has discovered new nano materials（纳米材料） that can efficiently turn heat （68）into electricity．
But unlike many other scientists，chemistry wasn't one of Xie's favorite （69）subjects when she was young，Anhui Daily （70）reported．
Born in Anhui province，Xie was （71）crazy about physics in high school．She always moved to the front row in the classroom to get a （72）better listening．
（73）But she didn't do well in physics in the college entrance examination （高考） and was admitted as a chemistry major at Xiamen University．
She told Anhui Daily that she didn't feel upset．"I did what I had to do and I think it's better to let nature take its course （顺其自然），"she said．She kept （74）working hard，but this time in chemistry．She went to the lab early and left late．She went through many failures，but （75）her positive attitude has carried her far in the chemistry world．

7．Many people in England are angry that drivers park their cars on the pavements（人行道）．Cars that are on the pavement block（堵） people from walking safely down the street．They have to walk into the road to get around the cars．
The charity for the blind，Guide Dogs，said blocking the pavement is"inconsiderate and dangerous"．It says it's a lot more difficult for blind people to walk around the town if cars are in their way．A spokesman for the charity told the BBC，"It can be frightening for anyone who is forced to step into a road because the pavement is blocked by a truck，a car or other badly parked vehicle．Imagine you have to step into a road where you can't see oncoming traffic．"
A survey on parking in Britain found that 70percent of people want a ban（禁令） on parking on pavement．A town south of London has already started a system to get drivers to park on the road or in a proper car park．Any motorist who parks on the pavement gets a $115fine．However，many people say the fines do not work．Local people say car owners don't mind the fine and park where they want．People pushing their children in baby cars and people in wheelchairs are afraid to walk on busy roads where there is heavy traffic．She wants her town to be like London，which has strict rules against pavement parking．
