Qian Zhongshu was one of the most well-known Chinese writers to the Western world. Born on November 21, 1910 in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, he grew up with his uncle, who didn't have a son.

Qian liked reading books and had a surprising memory. He only needed to read something once before learning it by heart. He showed his good memory at an early age. When he was a small boy, his uncle often took him to tea houses.

He liked reading story books in the tea houses. When he returned home, he could repeat the stories to his cousins.

Qian went to Tsinghua University in 1929.Although he failed his Maths test, he entered the university because he was so good at Chinese and English. In Tsinghua University he met his wife, Yang Jiang, who is one year older than him and a famous writer, too. They married in 1935. Two years later, their daughter, Qian Yuan, was born. Qian died of illness on December 19, 1998. He left many works to the world. His most famous novel,Fortress Besieged(《围城》), came out in 1947. It has been translated into more than six foreign languages.

Wind power is a very clean source of energy. This is how wind power works. Wind makes windmills spin (旋转).When the windmills spin, they make electricity. Then we can use the electricity.

A lot of people think that wind power is new, but that's not true. For thousands of years, people have used wind to sail boats and move water. We still do those things today, but these days we mostly use wind power to make electricity.

Wind power is a very popular source of energy. Most people think that we should use it more and more. First of all, it's clean. Windmills don't pollute the environment at all. Second, we can use wind power forever. After all, we will always have wind. Also, wind power is cheap, and it's getting even cheaper.

A lot of people don't understand wind power very well. They believe that there are problems with wind power, but many of those problems are not real. For example, some people say that windmills are dangerous for birds. They used to be true, but it isn't true anymore. Old windmills killed birds because they spun very fast. New windmills spin slowly, and they aren't dangerous for birds.

However, there are real problems with windmills. One problem is that many people think windmills are very ugly. This is a problem for people, because windmills are often in very pretty areas. Also, wind doesn't blow all the time, so we can't use wind power all the time. Finally, windmills are noisy.

Wind power is becoming more and more common. Right now, more than 80 countries use wind power. About 2.5 percent of the world's power comes from the wind. For some countries, that number is a lot higher. Wind power gives Denmark more than 25 percent of its electricity.

Beethoven, a famous musician in the world, was born in Germany in 1770.

In his childhood Beethoven didn't have a happy life. His father was a singer. When he was only four, his father began to make him practice hour after hour on different musical instruments. If he didn't put his heart into it, his father would beat him.

Beethoven loved music and he learned so fast that he was able to go around to give concerts when he was only a boy of eleven. At the age of seventeen, he won high praise (表扬) from Mozart, a great musician at that time.

Beethoven was not in excellent condition during his life. After one illness, he suddenly found himself deaf. At that time he was only thirty-one. It was a blow (打击) to him indeed.

But he still went on working and writing music pieces. To people's surprise, some of his best pieces were written after he lost his hearing.

In 1827, leaving more than 300 pieces, the great musician died. But his name is still remembered to this day.
