This little town wasn’t changed into a wonderland for book lovers suddenly. The idea was born in 1961. After hearing that a few libraries in the United States were closing down, a man called Richard Booth managed to get plenty of old books. He opened Hay-on-Wye’s first second-hand bookshop in an old firehouse. Soon, many other people in the town opened their own bookshops, too. By the 1970s, the Welsh town had become a town of books.
Today, every year in early June, the Hay festival is held in Hay-on-Wye to celebrate a shared love for books. It attracts book lovers, writers and artists from all over the world. But there is no need for you to worry if you are travelling to Hay-on-Wye with someone who doesn’t love books. The town has a lot to offer other than books. There are many antique shops.

Now let’s think about television and our life at home. Today almost all the homes have television sets. There are many interesting TV programs that we can enjoy with our family.
Well, how many hours do you watch television a day? You spend a lot of time watching TV, don’t you?
TV can open our eyes and minds. It also gives us a lot of useful information that we can not learn at school. For example, we don’t go out but we can know the things all over the world every day.
On the other hand, it takes away much good time to think carefully, for talking with our family and for reading books. We sometimes find that we sit in front of a TV set without thinking of anything.
It is very important for us to select good TV programs. We must try to make good use of it to plan our lives better.

Scientists are now trying to make robots look like humans and do the same things as we do. Some robots in Japan can walk and dance. They are fun to watch. However, some scientists believe that although we can make robots move like people, it will be difficult to make them really think like a human. For example, scientist James White thinks that robots will never be able to wake up and know where they are. But many scientists disagree with Mr. White. They think that robots will even be able to talk like humans in 25 to 50 years.
Some scientists believe that there will be more robots in the future. However, they agree it may take hundreds of years. These new robots will have many different shapes. Some will look like humans, and others might look like animals. In India, for example, scientists made robots that look like snakes. If buildings fall down with people inside, these snake robots can help look for people under the buildings. This was not possible 20 years ago, but computers and rockets also seemed impossible 100 years ago. We never know what will happen in the future!

【推荐3】Heritage (遗产) is traditional customs, history and beliefs. We use the word “heritage” in many different ways. People talk about their family heritage, city heritage and national heritage.
Today, heritage is changing. The Internet connects people around the world. In many ways this is a good thing, because we can learn about the heritage of other countries, and we can show our own heritage to the world. However, some people worry that traditional heritage is disappearing. In many ways, countries are becoming more and more alike (相似的). In most countries around the world, you can find KFC, Nike shoes, Starbucks coffee, American movies and so on. Some people think this is a good change, and others don’t like it. You can decide whether or not it’s a good thing.
However, everyone wants to protect traditional heritage, and sometimes this is hard. For example, when a new KFC opens in your city, a traditional restaurant might have to close.
That is why heritage protection is so important. Heritage protection is a simple thought. It means keeping your country’s or your city’s heritage alive. People do this in many ways. The biggest part of heritage protection is probably preserving (保护) old buildings. Some suggestions of heritage protection are making sure your kids speak your traditional language, and teaching knowledge about heritage to them.
The world is changing. No matter how it changes, never forget the heritage of our parents and grandparents.

Excellent English food at the Country House.
Last Saturday night, my family and I ate at the Country House.
The Country House serves traditional English food, we paid about 15 to 20 pounds a person to eat there.
The food was wonderful. The fish pie reminded me of my grandma. She used to cook it for me. I also had some fish and chips, and it was fantastic.
The waiters were polite, but a little slow. We were seated at 7 p.m., but we did not receive our food until 7:40 p.m.
I would certainly recommend the Country House for good, traditional English food. However, you should get there early and be prepared to spend a lot of time waiting for your food.
