      Several years ago, a television reporter was talking to three of the most important people in America. One was a very rich banker, another owned one of the largest companies in the world, and the third
owned many buildings in the center of New York.
     The reporter was talking to them about being important.
     "How do we know if someone is really important?"the reporter asked the banker.
     The banker thought for a few moments and then said,"I think anybody who is invited to the White
House to meet the President of the United States is really important. "
     The reporter then turned to the owner of the very large company. "Do you agree with that?"she asked.
     The man shook his head,"No. I think the President invites a lot of people to the White House. You'd
only be important if while you were visiting the President, there was a telephone call from the president
of another country, and the President of the US said he was too busy to answer it. "
     The reporter turned to the third man. "Do you think so?"
     "No, I don't,"he said. "I don't think that makes the visitor important. That makes the
President important. "
     "Then what would make the visitor important?"the reporter and the other two men asked.
     "Oh, I think if the visitor to the White House was talking to the President and the phone rang, and the
President picked up the receiver, listened and then said,'It's for you. '"

　　You will have a lot of reading to do in this grade this year．You can do more of it in less time if you learn to read rapidly．

　　Perhaps you have been told about some habits(習慣)which keep a person from reading fast and have been strongly asked to break those habits which you might have．

　　Do you still have any of these bad habits? Check yourself by answering “yes” or “no” to these questions．

Taiwan, the biggest island of China. It is to the east of Fujian Province.

island. I found it is as beautiful as many other places of our country. And there are a lot of places of interest.
My favourite place was the Sun and Moon Lake. You may ask why people call it so. If you fly high up over the
lake and look down around from your plane, you will find the answer yourself. In the middle of this lake,
there's a small island. People call it Pearl(珍珠) Island because it looks like a pearl. On one side of Pearl Island
the lake looks like a sun, and on the other side it looks like a moon. That's why people call the lake the Sun and Moon Lake.
     There are many mountains around this lake. One of the nearest is the Ali Mountain. We stayed there for
three days. We also had a dance party with Gaoshan People. On our first day there we went to the mountain
and watched the sun going down slowly in the west. On our last day we got up early and saw a very beautiful
sunrise. Taiwan is a very beautiful place to visit.
