He is quiet and shy. He likes to hide his eyes behind his hair. He doesn‘t smile very often. However， if you talk to him about music， he’ll have a lot to say.

This is Jay Chou，the 24-year-old Taiwanese pop king（天王）。 His fans are so excited because he will sing songs in Beijing on September 12. Those songs are from his new album （唱片）， “Ye Huimei”， and the album was released （发行） in July and was named after his mother.

Chou grew up just with his mother. He did not talk much and did badly in many school subjects.

His mother noticed the boy‘s special interest in music and sent him to learn piano when he was only three years old. He loved it and kept on practicing.

Chou is not very handsome. He does not speak clearly when he sings or talks. But the singer has huge crowds of fans. “He is really good at music. It makes him attractive（有魅力的） to me，” said Liu Jiajun， a Junior 2 student in No.101 Middle School in Beijing.

“He is true to himself. He never follows others，” said Zhang Yujie， a Junior 1 girl at Huaibei Middle School in Sihong，Jiangsu Province.

Waste can be seen everywhere in the school. Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these things. But I don‘t agree with them.

Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources（资源）， we are short of（缺乏） others， for example， fresh water（淡水）。 It is reported that we will have no coal（煤） or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources， what can we use in the future and where can we move？ Think about it. I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.

In our everyday life， we can do many things to prevent waste from happening， for example， turn off the water taps（水龙头） when we finish washing， turn off the lights when we leave the classroom， try not to order more food than we need， and so on. Little by little， everything will be changed. Waste can be stopped one day， if we do our best.

What will the future be like? It’s possible that we may often fly up into space! Out of all the coolest inventions of the year, Time chose Spaceship One as the best.

3.飞船一号的成功是一个好的开端。In the next 10 to 15 years, if you pay $ 20,000 to $ 100,000, you could fly high above the earth.
