Fifty-five years ago Barbie Millicent Roberts first came out in the world of toys. Since then, Barbie doll, as everyone called her, has become the most famous toy doll in history. Her parent, the Mattel Company, said that 90% of all American girls between 3 and 10 have at least one Barbie at home.
However, Barbie is facing some trouble at present, There are many similar (相似的) dolls on the market in competition with her. Another doll named Bratz, for example, came to life fifteen years ago. She looks more like today’s pop stars with heavy makeup (浓妆) and miniskirts.
It seems that Barbie has lost her magic (魔力) among older girls. “For young girls, playing with a Barbie is much fun. But when you get older, you want something smarter and more modern,” Says Vera Shepherd, a shopkeeper in a New York toy shop.
It is good news that on the international market Barbie is still No. 1. Although Mattel is selling fewer Barbies in the United States these years, sales in other countries are still going up. In January 2009, Mattel opened its first Barbie store in Shanghai, where girls can shop, eat, drink or even become fashion designers for their own Barbies.
Mattel is planning big celebrations for Barbie’s 55th birthday. Fashion designers from all over the world will make new dresses for Barbie.

What’s the most important thing for you to have in your life? Somebody thinks it’s hard work, others think it’s knowledge, love and luck...
If you arrange(排列) the 26 English letters in order and use numbers to represent (代表)each of them, for example, 1 for a, 2 for b, 3 for c ……26 for z, you can change an English word into a number. So hard work becomes 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11="98,meaning" 98 is its mark; knowledge: 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5="96;" love: 12+15+22+5="54," and luck: 12+21+3+11="47," a small mark. None of these words can give one a full mark. What about money? It can’t, either.
Then what else? Don’t be worried. You can always find an answer to a problem in your life, when you change your way of looking at things or doing things, or your attitude（态度）. Yes, attitude is the word. See for yourself; attitude: 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5="100," a full mark.

Waste can be seen everywhere in the school. Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these things. But I don't agree with them.
Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources (资源) , we are short of (缺乏) others, for example, fresh water. It is reported that we will have no coal (煤) or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources, what can we use in the future and where can we move? Think about it. I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.
In our everyday life, we can do many things to prevent waste from happening, for example, turn off the water taps(水龙头) when we finish washing, turn off the lights when we leave the classroom, try not to order more food than we need, and so on. Little by little, everything will be changed. Waste can be stopped one day, if we do our best.From the passage we know that some students often ______in the school.
| A．eat too much | B．don't work hard |
