Zhang Lili: The most beautiful teacher in China

Zhang Lili is a teacher at No.19 Middle School in the city of Jiamusi, Heilongjiang province. These days, many people think she is the most beautiful teacher in China, because she saved her students from a traffic accident (交通事故) on May 8, 2012.
On that day, Zhang and her two students were crossing the road outside the school gate when a bus suddenly lost control (控制) and ran fast towards them. Zhang pushed both students out of the way, but she herself was hit (被撞倒) by the bus. As a result, the 29-year-old teacher lost her legs.
The principal of No. 19 Middle School, Jiamusi City, said, "Zhang is a great teacher in our school. She’s also the most popular teacher among the students. For the students, she is like a sister. They call her Beautiful Sister. After hearing about this accident, all the students in her class cried." But Zhang is more than a teacher and sister to the 53 students in her class. She cares about their studies and even their lives.
Zhang’s bravery and kindness moved (感动) a lot of people in China. People all over the country are donating money to her now. They all hope she can get better soon and live happily for the rest of her life.

People use money to buy food, books and hundreds of other things they need. When they work, they usually get paid in money.
Most of the money used today is made of metal or paper. But in the time long ago, people used to use all kinds of things as money. One of the first kinds of money was shells.
In China, cloth and knives were used as money. Elephant tusks(牙), monkey tail and salt were used in some parts of the world. Rice was also a kind of money used by the people in some islands. Some animals were used as money, too.
The first copper coins were made in China. They were round and had a square hole in the center. Different countries have used different metals for their money. Later, some countries began to make coins of gold and silver(银). But gold and silver were heavy to carry when people needed a lot of coins to buy something expensive. The Chinese were the
first to use paper money. The first paper money looked more like a note from one person to another than the paper money used today.
Money has had an interesting story from the days of shell money till today.
【小题1】People usually use money          ．

Soon Mickey Mouse became a good friend of both young and old people . Mickey is clean mouse right from the beginning. Perhaps this is why people love Mickey Mouse. In his early life Mickey made some mistakes. People were very angry. They wrote to Disney and said that they didn’t want Mickey to do wrong things. As there were many things that Mickey could not do, Disney made a new animal named Donald Duck. He also made a dog, Pluto. This dog does foolish things and makes mistakes wherever he goes.
