7．On Nov.18th，1908，three men went up in a balloon（气球）．They started early in London．The headman was Augusta Gurdon，and the other two men were Tanner and Maitland．They had a big balloon and they were ready for a long way．
Soon they heard the sea．They were carrying the usual rope（绳子），and it was hanging down from the basket of the balloon．At the end of the rope they had tied a metal box．This could hold water，or it could be empty．So they were able to change its weight（重量）．It was for use over the sea．They were also carrying some bags of sand．
After the sun rose，the balloon went higher．It went up to 3，000meters，and the air was very cold．The water in the balloon became ice．Snow fell past the men's basket，and they could see more snow on the ground．The men tried to throw out some more sand； but it was hard．They tried to break the icy sand with their knives，but it was not easy．The work was slow and they were still falling，so they had to drop some whole bags of sand．One of them fell on an icy lake and made a black hole in the ice．
At last they pulled the box into the basket．It was still snowing； so they　climbed to get away from the snow．They rose to 5，100meters!Everything became icy．They were so cold that they decided to land．They came down in Poland　heavily but safely．They had travelled 1，797kilometers from London!

6．When my family moved to America in 2010from a small village in Guangdong，China，we brought not only our luggage，but also our village rules，customs and culture．One of the rules is that young people should always respect（尊敬） elders．Unluckily，this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States．
I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant．One time，when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple，the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly．I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly．As soon as I said that，her    face showed great displeasure．My manager，who happened to hear what I   said，took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive（敏感） Americans are and how they dislike the description"old"．I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife．After the couple heard my reason，they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences，so they laugh-ed and were no longer angry．
In my village in China，people are proud of being old．Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty，and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience．Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience．
However，in the United States，people think"growing old"is a problem since"old"shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well．Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging，and women put on makeup，hoping to look young．When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly，they got angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young．I had told them something they didn't want to hear．
After that，I changed the way I had been with older people．It is not that I don't respect them any more； I still respect them，but now I don't show my feelings through words．

Benjamin Franklin famously founded （创建） America's first lending library in 1731．But the public library system got its biggest development in the American history in the late 1800's．Businessman Andrew Carnegie donated millions of dollars to help build free public libraries across the country．Between 1886and 1919，Carnegie's donations helped build 1，679new libraries．
Carnegie believed that libraries could offer the chances to Americans，young and old．He knew that the more libraries there were，the more people would have opportunities to read and use books，speeches and news．
If you can easily find a public library in your community（社区），you'll get more chances．After all，the United States has 9，225public libraries．Today，libraries keep growing．Seven tenths of the libraries have free Internet．It provides much more information and opportunities to ask for jobs online．
Libraries are also teaching kids about the fun of reading．The new program Read!Build!Play!adds reading into playtime．As kids listen to a book that is being read aloud，they use Legos （乐高积木） to build images（图象） from the story happily．Today's libraries are always looking for creative programs to bring people into the library．
