U.S. billionaire Bill Gates went to watch a game of his friend, U.S. teen player Ariel Hsing, at the ExCel Centre while the girl was playing against Chinese Li Xiaoxia.

Gates wore an orange jacket and dark blue baseball cap. He sat in the front row of the spectators’ stand (观众看台) and applauded (鼓掌) for every point Hsing scored.

“I’m wishing her the best of luck, but the opposite player is really great,” Gates said.

Hsing was in her third match at London 2012. She had already beaten Mexico’s Yadira Silva and Luxembourg’s Ni Xia Lian.

Hsing is known in the U.S. as a close friend with billionaires Warren Buffett and Gates. She is close enough to call them “Uncle Warren” and “Uncle Bill”.

Buffett met Hsing when she was only 9. Two years later, he invited her to play against his friends. She has returned several times after that. Earlier this year after winning a position on the U.S. team, she took a few points off Buffett and Gates.

When asked whether he has won a point off Hsing, Gates said, “She beat me when she was nine. She has been nice to me.”

There are lots of popular writers in China, for example Han Han, FengJical, Tie Ning, Guo Jingming and so on. In my mind, Mo Yan is one of the most famous writers in China, because he is not only from Weifang but also good at writing.
Mo Yan was born in Gao Mi, Wei Fang. Now he is a 57-year-old writer. His real name is Guan Moye. Mo Yan is his pen name. It means “no speaking”. He began writing at the age of 26 and in 2011 his novel The Frog won the Mao Dun Prize in Literature. Since then, he has won lots of prizes.
In 2012, Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize in Literature. I’m proud of him, because I like writing. So I joined a writing workshop to improve my level of writing and I made lots of friends there.
Who is your favourite writer? Can you tell me?

【小题1】Bill Gates went to the ExCel Centre to watch a game between Ariel Hsing and 　　　.

He Junquan is a Chinese swimmer and has won many Paralympic(残奥会) gold medals. Born in Jingmen, Hubei province, He Junquan was a healthy boy. But one day at the age of three, he climbed up to the high-voltage electricity(高压线) box and lost both of his arms forever. He became a disabled boy!
From then on he learnt to do everything with his feet: writing, eating, getting dressed and taking things. Seeing other pupils swimming in the river, he jumped in, too. Without arms, he suffered a lot in the river at the beginning. But he finally learnt to balance himself in water and could swim much faster than the other pupils. Once he even saved a little boy who fell into the water and couldn’t swim. His father was so happy to see that this son had a talent in swimming.
In 1995, He Junquan became a real swimmer. He practices swimming for more than four hours every day. Since 1996, he has won more than twelve gold medals of the world class. At the 2008 Summer Paralympics, he won a silver medal. Reporting on the competition at the 2008 Games, Will Swanton of the Sydney Morning Herald wrote:
“The Water Cube has been a sight for sore(气愤的) eyes. China’s He Junquan, with no arms, was leading the 50m backstroke(仰泳) final. … He came to the finish— and had to crash into the wall with his head. As he slowed down to lessen(减少) the impact(撞击力), Brazilian Daniel Dias hit the wall first with a hand. You’ve never heard a silence like it.”
【小题1】What happened to He Junquan when he was three?
