The Building That Moves
Everyone knows that buildings don't move．They can't change the way they look．However，architect（建筑师）David Fisher wants to change that．
Fisher has an amazing idea．He wants to make 80﹣story buildings that change shape．Each floor will move around slowly．The floors will move at different speeds．Because of this，the shape of the building is always changing．"These buildings will never look the same，"says Fisher．
His idea is an interesting one．However，Fisher doesn't stop there．He also wants the building to be"green"．The building will make its own energy．In most buildings，only the top floor has a roof（屋顶）．In Fisher's building，each floor will have its own roof．The roofs each have solar panels（太阳能板）．This means a lot more solar energy．Also，machines between each floor of the building will catch the wind．They will turn the wind into energy．
Fisher's ideas sound impossible．However，that's what people also said before humans traveled into space!

Even in early time, people could realize the importance of dreams and knew that dreams gave meaning to life. Every great achievement has been the result of years of dreaming. If a person has a dream and holds fast to it, he or she will find a way to bring it into reality (现实).
Children do not have much experience or knowledge. However, they are natural dreamers. We should not laugh at them for being naive. Many great men were dreamers when they were children. One such dreamer was Thomas Edison. He used to be ostracized (排斥) when he was in primary school, but his achievements were greater than everyone else’s in his time.
Teenagers and young people should also be encouraged to dream. The world is full of successful teenagers and young people. They dreamt big and their dreams changed their lives and even the world. Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are the good examples. They have developed technology and brought great progress to human besides making money for themselves.
Older people should believe that it is never too late to dream and that human mind is never too old to make dreams turn into reality. Colonel Saunders realized his dreams at the age of 67 and set up the biggest fried chicken company (KFC) in the world.
To dream is a wonderful ability which can lead to wonderful results. Olympic records were broken by players who were brave enough to dream. No one is too young or too old to dream and to make dreams come true.

Mike and Dick work in the same office. They don’t like the cold weather. And one day they decided to take their holiday in Australia. Their plane arrived in Sydney at nine in the morning. They had a good rest in a hotel. The next morning they rented (租) a car in the city and began their travel. A few hours later, the sun was shining in the sky and there were no shade trees (遮阴树) beside the road. It was so hot that they could hardly go on driving. They had to stop to look around. Mike found a river about half a kilometer away from them. They were both very happy and drove the car quickly. Soon they got to the river. Before they jumped into the water, Dick saw a boy playing under a big tree. He asked,“Are there any sharks (鲨) in the river, boy?”“No, there aren’t,”answered the boy. So they began to swim in the river. After a while, Dick felt something hit against his leg. He told Mike about it. They were afraid and stopped swimming.
