37 years ________, to everyone’s surprise, the boy became well-known. On November 4th, 2008, Obama became the first president in history. Obama was born in the US in 1961. His father was African and his mother was American. He grew up in Indonesia and Hawaii. This unusual background made him wonder who he was.

With the help of his friends, Obama finally turned his life around in the university. After leaving from Columbia University in 1983, he had a great idea – working hard to bring changes to the world. So he moved from New York to Chicago in 1985 and worked in poor African-American area for three years. After that, he studied laws in Harvard University and graduated in 1991. Later, he

became the third black senator(参议员) in US history.

His success made Martin Luther King’s dream come true. That is: ‘A man should not be judged by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character.’ He said at the speech in Chicago after he was elected(选举).

我讨厌这么说，但是的确有一个问题困扰着我。 其实我不是很确定我的问题是什么。不过无论它是什么我都需要帮助。

我看起来非常喜欢帮助他人，甚至没有留给自己时间。我的意思是，我喜欢人们，而且我希望他们喜欢我。但是最近这势头变得有些连本带利了。

你看，就像这个星期我照顾REX一样。REX是我办公室里一个女人的狗。我怎么会照顾这狗呢？我自己甚至都不喜欢狗。那个时候REX在办公室里。SHEIAL说她想找一个照

顾狗狗的人，但是有一些麻烦。她说如果找不到这样的人，她就不能去度假了。 然后我突然说道，“噢 我可以帮你照顾狗。没有任何问题。” 为什么我那个时候会这么说呢？我发现自己老是自找麻烦。

然后就在上个星期，大厅对面的一个家伙说他的厕所有些问题。所以他找我！但是我根本不认识他。他说另外一个邻居说我非常擅长修东西，而且很肯定我会帮助他。我能说不嘛？所以我帮他修理了，而且其实我也无所谓，因为这也只占了我一个小时。不过不仅仅是我的邻居或者办公室里的人整天这样。昨天，我的兄弟要人帮忙修理破碎的玻璃窗。我开了两小时的车去他家帮忙。虽然十分钟就修完，但是我一天的行程都被打乱了。而且REX老是不停滴乱咬东西。

噢，又有一封信了。是EMILY寄来的。她这个周末要搬走了。之前我还跟她说我能帮她整理行李。我就是不会向别人说不。

THINK about who your biggest rival (对手) is. Sometimes it's the one you see in the mirror.

To be successful often all you need is self-confidence. Chinese table tennis player Wang Liqin has just shown this.

The 28-year-old young man from Shanghai won the singles title at the World Table Tennis Championships in Croatia (克罗地亚) on Sunday. He beat his teammate Ma Lin in the final (决赛).

Besides great skills, he showed real strength.

\"I focus on winning one point and then another,\" Wang says, \"I don't think any further ahead.\"

However, before this game some people had criticized Wang for being immature (不成熟). There's never been any doubt about his power as a player. But if someone got ahead, he would sometimes lose point after point until he lost the match.

Now he takes advice from his coaches. Also, after matches, he thinks about his mistakes and how to fix them. Now he's a cool customer at the table. His critics have begun to shut up.

\"Wang is much calmer now under pressure. He's much more mature now,\" said chief coach Liu Guoliang.

Off court, Wang is a quiet person. He likes to write a diary. He records his feelings about training and matches, but also his other hobbies.

The diary also shows his light-hearted side. He loves F1 racing. \"I love the clothes they wear,\" he says. \"And watching the races gives me a big kick.\"

It is true that times are changing for the old people in Britain. But not all the changes are bad ones. Modern medicine, for example, has made old people healthier than ever before. Another advantage is that there are many more old people than there used to be. This means that old people often have a good social life with their own clubs and organizations. Old people, too, have more money than their own parents and grandparents had.

The biggest disadvantage of modern life is loneliness. The young leave home when they grow up, and many old people live alone. Fewer old people have brothers and sisters like their parents or grandparents. An old person’s one or two children may have moved to another part of the country. Even when they live nearby, the young people have their own work to do and their own children to look after. They have not much time for the old. Problems of loneliness often start when people stop work. When people retire(退休), they find it difficult for old people to start a new life without their jobs.

The world has changed so fast since 1900 that it is difficult for old people to understand the problems of the young. And the world is changing even faster these days than fifty years ago. It makes you think, doesn’t it? What will it be like when today’s young people are old?
