Our new English teacher, Mr White, arrived last week. He’s American. He smiles a lot and he’s friendly but he speaks very fast. It’s difficult to understand his words. He also expects us to study hard, and speak English all the time in our English lessons.

During the first class, Mr White introduced himself, and showed us photos of his family. He’s got a big family, two brothers and a sister. His brothers all look like him. They are very tall, and they have dark hair, but one brother has a beard. His sister is slim, and she has fair hair. They are smiling and look friendly in all of the photos.

Then he told us about America and Americans. He showed us how Americans say “Hi. How are you doing?” and shake hands when they meet people. We all practised. That was fun. And he also told us that Americans are cheerful, lively people. They smile a lot and are usually friendly because Americans think it’s polite.

At the end of the lesson, we all said “Goodbye”, “See you soon” to everyone. I think we are going to enjoy English lessons from now on.

The idea for the book Harry Potter and the philosopher’s Stone came to Joanne Kathleen Rowling in 1990. It took her seven years to finish writing it. During those seven years she had a number of jobs, including one job as an English teacher in Portugal.

Rowling sent the book to four publishers before one of them bought it. She was very happy to sell her book because it was her life’s dream to be a published writer. Before she sold her book, Rowling was short of money, living in a small apartment with her daughter. She could not afford heat in the winter.

Harry Potter became very successful with children and adults in England. The book also really took off in the United States. After her second and third books were published, the three Harry Potter books filled the top three places on many newspapers’ lists of best-sellers. Then the books were made into popular movies. Without question, Rowling’s life had completely changed, in just three years.

Harry Potter has now sold more than 30 million books around the world and has been translated into more than thirty-five languages. In 1997, she earned £70 (about US$110) a week. By the end of 2001, she had earned over £150 million ($250 million), making her one of the most successful female writers of all time.

Mary was waiting for the airplane to take off. She was happy to get a seat by herself. Just

then，an air hostess came up to her and asked. "Would you mind changing your seat? A man

would like to sit with his wife." The only available seat was next to a girl with her arms broke,

a black-and-blue face, and a sad expression. "I don't want to sit there," Mary thought

immediately. But a soft voice spoke, "She needs help." Finally, Mary moved to that seat.

The girl was named Emily. She had been in a car accident and now was on her way for

treatment.

When the snack and juice arrived, Mary realized that Emily could not feed herself. Mary

considered offering to feed her but hesitated（犹豫）, as it seemed too impolite to offer a service

to a stranger. But then Mary realized that Emily's need was more important. Mary offered to

help her eat. Although Emily was uncomfortable to accept, she agreed . They became closer

and closer in a short time. By the end of the five-hour trip, Mary's heart had warmed, and the

time was really better spent than if she had just sat by herself.

Mary was very glad that she had sat next to Emily and fed her. Love sometimes goes

beyond human borders（边界）and removes the fears that keep people away. When we reach our

hands to serve another, we grow to live in a larger and more rewarding world.

请认真阅读下面短文，在短文后表格中的每个空白处填上一个适当的单词。

On the eastern part of West Malaysia, there is a long sand beach. From June to August every year, giant turtles come to the beach to lay eggs. They appear only late at night to lay their eggs in holes. They dig these holes with their hind flippers.

When they have finished laying their eggs, they fill up the holes with sand and return to the sea. The mother turtles never see their babies. The hot sun keeps the eggs warm until they hatch. Then the baby turtles will go back to the sea to begin their new lives. In the past, many people came to dig up the eggs after the mother turtles had left. They took the eggs to town to sell.

Since 1962, the Malaysian government has built high fences around the sand beach to stop people from digging and selling the eggs, because people are afraid that there will be fewer and fewer turtles there.
