One day a young man went to his hometown by train. On the train, there were a lot of people. He sat by the window. After the train started to go, he went to the toilet. When he came out from the toilet, one of his shoes fell onto the ground, out of the train. But the train was moving so fast. He had no ideas how to get it back. Then he took off the other one and threw it out of the train. A boy was surprised to see that. He asked the man，" Why did you do that?" He said, "If someone picks them up, he may get a pair of shoes, not just only one."

    I think the most important modern (现代的) invention is . the Internet(互联网). With the Internet, we can do many things. For example, we can shop, learn knowledge (知识), listen to music, and watch movies online. The Internet makes the world smaller. We can meet and talk to friends and relatives far away without spending a lot of money. We can also post our blogs (博客) online so our friends can know what we are doing by visiting our websites (网址) like QQ Space. Internet makes our life more exciting and easier.

There are many great inventions in the world, but my favourite invention is the computer. The computer helps me a lot. With the computer, I can find lots of information I need. I can read e-books, research the latest news and watch movies. I can play games or listen to music when I am tired. It is easy to communicate with my friends. I often chat with them through e-mails and QQ. I think in the future, the computer will be used by everyone.

    Mr. White lives in a tall building. He lives on the sixteenth floor. Every day, he takes a lift (电梯) up and down.

    One Saturday afternoon, he went shopping with his little son and bought many things. They drove back and carried all the things up to the lift. Suddenly they saw a piece of paper on the wall. It said, "Dear sirs, there's something wrong with the lift. Please use the stairs now." The son took a bag and ran upstairs quickly. But Mr. White walked and walked.

    At last they stood in front of their door feeling very tired. Mr. White began to look for the keys, but he could not find them. Suddenly he shouted in a loud voice, "Oh, no! I've left my keys in the car."

Three turtles

    Three turtles live in a house. They decide to have a cup of coffee. So they go to a care. Just as they go into the care, it starts to rain. They have no umbrella with them. So the biggest one says to the smallest one,   "Go home and get the umbrella."

    The little turtle answers, "I will, if you don't drink my coffee when I go to get the umbrella." "We don't." The other two promise. Two hours later, the big turtle says to the middle turtle, "Well, I guess he isn't coming back, so we can drink his coffee." Just then, there is a voice. "If you do, I will not go to get the umbrella."
