Here are some of Tony's diaries(日记)during the summer vacation.

I fell in love with(爱上)science when my parents took me to the science museum for the first time. I look up to (崇敬) inventors(发明家). They made useful things for people and were so great. I wish to be an inventor.

My parents weren't at home.I didn't have anything to do,so I watched the movie,Wu Jing played so well. When he fought for our country in the movie, I was moved. It was really a great movie.

It was relaxing. I was interested in playing it,but I was not good at it. Jim could play it well,so he taught me some ways. It was difficult for me to learn those ways, but I did my best.In the end, I played better and I felt really happy.

We went there by bus,and it took us about half an hour. There were many people playing there. My sister and I played in the water and made houses on the beach. We had a good time.

My cousin Jack took me to the forest near his home. On the way,we saw many tall trees and some beautiful flowers. When we played there,we heard a bird(鸟)crying.It got hurt and couldn't fly, so we took it home.

The Liberty Bell is one of the most famous symbols of the United States. Here are some things about the bell.

People didn't make the Liberty Bell in the United States, but in England. After the bell arrived, it sat around for about six months before they hung(挂)it. People rang(敲)the bell for the first time, and it was broken.

They gave the broken bell to John Pass and John Stow. Pass and Stow made a new bell, but the bell sounded terrible to the people of Philadelphia. They made fun of Pass and Stow, so Pass and Stow took the bell back to make it again. At the same time, people asked for a second bell from England. The people of Philadelphia thought both bells sounded bad and used one of them.

The crack in the bell now happened(发生) during a celebration(庆祝) of George Washington's birthday. The sound was so bad that they stopped using the Liberty Bell. People tried to sell the bell, but nobody wanted it!

Now a lot of people visit the bell. It became special after it stopped working.

It was nearly dark. The sun was dropping down the mountains far away. Little Tom came back home with tears in his eyes.

"What's the matter, Tom?How's your trip?"his mother asked with a big smile. "I failed. The mountain is so high and full of big or small stones on the way. I still went ahead. But I was tired and it was so late that I had to come back, "Tom cried. "It doesn't matter. You are only 14 years old after all. You will have another chance, "his mother said. "But, standing at the top of the mountain is my dream!"Tom said. His father came over and asked, "Did you see the green trees on your way to the mountain?""Sure, and there are a lot of beautiful flowers by the side of the road, "Tom replied. "Did you hear the birds singing?"his father asked. "There were many kinds of birds singing in the trees, and the sound was very sweet, "Tom said. "Did you feel the beauty of nature?"his father asked. "Yes, the blue sky, the white clouds, the green trees and the colorful flowers made a nice picture, "Tom answered. "That's enough!"his father smiled and said, "Please remember, Son. For often, achieving what you expect is not the most important thing. Although you didn't reach the top of the mountain, you got a lot on the way. "

It is true that not every goal will be achieved, not every job will end up with a success, and not every dream will come true. The most beautiful scenery is on the way.

A young lady was driving a car home with her father.They were caught in a heavy storm(被困在暴风雪中)1 the way. The young lady was a little2 and asked her father,"What should I do—stop3 keep driving?"

Her father said,"Keep4 . "

After driving a few kilometers, the storm became heavy. The young lady 5 that some cars were pulling over(靠边停)to the side of the road. The young lady asked her father6 whether (是否) they should stop. But her father said7 . So, she had to keep on driving.

Ten minutes later, the storm started to become8 and she could see a little more clearly.After a few kilometers, she drove out of the storm. Besides, the sun9 and the road ahead was dry. Her father told her to 10 and get out of the car.

"But 11 now, Father?"she asked in surprise. Her father said,"When you get out, you can look back at all the people in cars that gave up(放弃) and they are12 in the storm.Now, your storm 13 because you didn't give up."

Don't give up, even though the stronger(强者) do.If you keep going,soon 14 "personal storms" will be over. The sun will shine on you again and the15 ahead will be dry and clear.
