My mother was telling me about how she and her family got their first television when she was a teenager. Of course it was black and white. She said she only watched it at night. She doesn't remember over watching it in the morning or afternoon. When she was young she had only about 3 or 4 different channels (頻道) .Her bothers,sisters and she would sometimes fight (打架) about which channel to watch. But we usually enjoyed the same shows.

   Now we can get hundreds of channels on TV. I can't believe it!There are channels with old films,cooking,fishing and so on. It's surprising!There is a channel for everything. I wonder how much my bothers,my sisters and I would fight if we had hundreds of channels when I was a child. Of course we had only one television set. These days I find families with 2 or 3 or more television sets in their homes. I guess it stops people from arguing (吵架) about which channel to choose from.(江蘇泰州)

  As young students,you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big,such as winning the Nobel Prize;they can also be small,such as becoming one of the best students in your class.

   Once you find a dream,what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream real?

   Andrew Matthews,an Australian writer,tells us that making your dreams real is life's biggest challenge. You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects,or that it's impossible for you to become a writer. Those kinds of ideas stop you from realizing your dream.

   In fact ，everyone can realize his dream. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is.

Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want every day and then your dream will come true faster. You should know that a big dream is,in fact,made up of many small dreams.

   You must also never give up your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important.

  Air is a colorless,tasteless and invisible gas that is around us. An “empty” drinking glass and an “empty” room,in fact,are not really empty. Each is filled with air. When the glass is filled with water,the water pushes the air out of the glass.

   Air,as gas,has no definite shape,but because it is matter,it takes up space and it has weight. It is easy to show that air is something that takes up space. Stuff a piece of dry cloth into the bottom of a glass so that it will not fall out when the glass is turned upside down. Push the upside-down glass,holding straight up and down,into a jar of water till the glass is completely covered. When the glass is taken out of the water,the cloth is still dry. The air inside the glass shows that it takes up space and keeps the water from coming in.

Most people know that Marie Curie was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize, and the first person to win it twice. However, few people know that she was also the mother of a Nobel Prize winner.

Born in September, 1987, Irene Curie was the first of the Curies’ two daughters. Along with nine other children whose parents were also famous scholars, Irene studied in their own school, and her mother was one of the teachers. She finished her high school education at the College of Sévigné in Paris.

Irene entered the University of Paris in 1914 to prepare for a degree in mathematics and physics. When World War I began, Irene went to help her mother, who was using X-ray facilities（設備） to help save the lives of wounded soldiers.

With over one million satisfied customers around the world, the new EP heats better and faster, saves more on heating bills, and runs almost silently.

The EP has no exposed heating parts that can cause a fire. The outside of the EP only gets warm to the touch so that it will not burn children or pets.

The EP will not reduce oxygen in the room. With other heaters, you’ll notice that you get sleepy when the heat comes on because they are burning up oxygen.

The advanced EP also heats the room evenly, wall to wall and floor to ceiling. It comfortably covers an area of up to 350 square feet. Other heaters heat rooms unevenly with most of the heat concentrated to the center of the room. They only heat an area a few feet around the heater. With the EP, the temperature will not vary in any part of the room.
