In the first forty days a boy had been with him. But after forty days without a fish the boys parents had told him
15、 that the old man was now bad luck, and ordered the boy to join another boat, which caught three good fish the first week.

19、m and the sweet blood smell. I remember everything from when we first went together,” the boy said. The old man looked at him with his sun-burned, loving eyes.“May I get some sardines（沙丁鱼）for tomorrow? Let me get four fresh ones,” said the boy. “One,” the old man said. His hope and his confidence ha
20、d never gone. But now they were freshening like a sea breeze. “Two,” the boy said. “Thank you,” the old man said. He was too simple to wonder when he had got modesty.

26、t successful women in the history of the United States, Hillary Clinton.Hillary was born in 1947 and from an early age it was clear she was both diligent and very clever. She was accepted into one of Americas most famous universities, Yale, where she studied politics and law, something very unusual
27、for a woman at that time. There, many of her male classmates and teachers looked down on her but they changed their minds when Hillary graduated near the top of her class. While studying at university she met and fell in love with a young man called Bill Clinton, whom she married in 1975. Twenty sev
28、en years later Bill would become the 42ndPresident of the United States.Bill Clinton often said he valued Hillarys advice more than anyone elses and that she was in fact even cleverer than him. He put Hillary in charge of improving the hospital system in America, which made some of his opponents ver

35、r the most part Chinese people are friendly, easygoing and optimistic. They are curious and unusually patient and they are also the hardestworking people I have ever met.In China, family is everything. In my English classes when the students were asked what they would do if they only had a few hours
36、 to live, most students told me how they would spend their last few hours with their families and parents. Many times the subjects in the classes center on families and friends.

37、 city of Xiang Fan I live in isnt large and I live better. Nonimported foods are very cheap, so are clothing and articles of everyday use. The cost of public transportation is very low, too.

In my opinion, Project Hope is of great importance to the development of the rural education.When we read news of China in the we
39、st, rarely, if ever, will we see anything mentioned of the positive changes China has gone through.

44、blems.Contamination,too many cars, and crowded streets are just a few of these difficulties. One way to help with these problems is city trains.
