【推荐1】Charles L. Dodgson, best known by his pen name Lewis Carroll, was the author of the children’s classics Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (《爱丽丝漫游仙境记》) and Through the Looking-Glass (《爱丽丝镜中奇遇记》).
Carroll was born in a village in England, on January 27, 1832. As the eldest boy in a family of 11 children. Carroll was good with his brothers and sisters. He made up stories and created games for them when they were bored. At the age of 20, he received a chance to study math for he was excellent in math and won many prizes when he was very young. Then he worked as a teacher in a college.
In his spare time, Carroll liked taking pictures and writing poems. However, writing stories was no doubt his favorite. The young man was shy because of his stammer (口吃) and he found that he could only speak better when talking with children. The relaxing time he spent with kids might be the beginning of his best-known writings. One of the kids was Alice, the daughter of Henry George Liddell. She remembered that she was always sitting on his sofa while he told her stories of dream worlds. During an afternoon picnic with Alice and her two sisters, Carroll told the first Alice a story. When Alice arrived home that day, she asked him to write the story down for her and it later became “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland”. The great writer died in 1898. By the time of his death, “Alice” had become the most popular children’s book in England, and by 1932 it had been one of the most popular in the world.

Everyone loves toys because they’re fun to play with and they always make you think of the good old days of your childhood.
As a child, it’s hard to move his feet in front of fun toys. It is the same with many adults. Toy collecting is one of those hobbies that bring out the kid in you. If you’re going to start a toy collection, here is some advice:
Make sure you know about the value (价值) of your toys, or the toys you’re buying. Get to know the shopkeeper, look through Internet websites, and read books. The more you know about your hobby, the better!
Do you love trains, or dolls? While it’s great to have all kinds of toys, it can be fun to study the kinds of toys that you’re most interested in.
Always remember: condition, year, and price, the 3 most important things to buy a toy. If the toy is quite old, in great shape, and at a good price then you’ve hit the jackpot (中了头彩)!
Toy collecting is all about having fun! Don’t only pay attention to the number and don’t spend all your money on them! Be fair about your toys, and most of all—have fun while collecting your toys.

【推荐1】I used to be an active girl. But two years ago, an English speech competition held in my school changed me a lot.
I stood on the stage for the first time. I was so nervous that my brain suddenly became empty. No longer after I began my speech, the hall turned noisy. It seemed that they were laughing at me. I knew I failed.
From then on, I became quiet and always stayed alone. I didn’t want to express my ideas in public, even in class. Every time I wanted to say something, I thought people would laugh at me. My friends couldn’t understand me, and they left me, one by one.
One day, my science teacher asked us why trees in forests were much taller than those in the wild. “Ha, what a silly question!” I thought.
“There’s not enough space in the woods for trees to expand（伸展）their branches（枝条）. Of course they have to grow taller than others. The trees in the wild needn’t do that since there’s enough space.” I said in a low voice.
To my surprise, the teacher said, “Yes, you’re right. It is a competition.” My face turned red right away. I hadn’t spoken for a long time, especially in public.
Then the teacher explained how trees in forests had to grow taller to receive more sunlight. If not, they would die. This also happened in our society（社会）.
1 raised my head slowly and found the teacher was looking at me. His eyes were as warm as sunshine. I realized that l must stand up and face the truth.

【推荐2】Many people do not like to stay at home on holidays. They want to go out to see something different or do something exciting. So people in the county go to the city and people in he city go to the country for holidays. During the holidays, trains, buses and planes are all very busy. It is very hard to buy train tickets or air tickets. Many people take cars or buses for travelling.
Last May Day my family went to the country by car for our holidays. There was too much traffic on the road, so we had to move very slowly. It took us about an hour to get out of the town. After some time, we came to a farm. It was clean and beautiful. The animals were very cute, and we thought it was a nice place for a picnic, so we stopped and took the food, fruit and drinks out of the car. We sat down under a big green tree and began to eat. Suddenly(突然) a strong wind blew and soon it started to rain.
We had to run back to our car and had our picnic in the car. Then we drove back home. We had a trip like this. How bad it was!

During my first two weeks at the University of California , Berkeley , I experienced some unexpected , funny , and sometimes embarrassing(令人尴尬的) situations. Allow me to share some with you .
But first, let me give advice to other foreign students who plan to study in the United States. Check the weather before coming ! I was very sure that California was sunny all year around so I left all my jackets and sweaters in Paris. It was a huge mistake ! It rained almost every day during the first week in Berkeley .
I have to say that I quickly forgot these unlucky events. Life in Berkeley is very pleasant and everything is so easy compared to Paris. For example, in only 24 hours I bought a mobile phone and made the lease(租约) agreement for a flat. What’s more, almost all the shops are open on Sunday, which is very practical for me .
The first thing that surprised me is that students may come late to class. They freely enter and leave the classroom many times during class. In France, students respect the teacher’s lesson, so they are never late and they leave the classroom only at the end of the class .
The local people in California are in general very nice, open and active. However, I am not totally used to their habits yet. Indeed , I was used to shaking my friends’ hands every day in France. During my second day at Berkeley, I shook the hand of one of my classmates whom I had met the day before and he told me “I think we already met !”
Another funny story happened during the first party I attended: A girl that I meet before came to hug me. I thought she wanted to kiss me like we usually do in France to say hello. So I kissed her and she seemed a little bit embarrassed .
I live a great experience at present, and I would just encourage any student to become a member in a program at UC, Berkeley .
