Shameem was born in a small village in Pakistan. In her village, it was a tradition to keep girls inside their homes. They were not allowed to get an education.

    Fortunately, Shameem's uncle, a university teacher, wanted to give her a chance to see the world. He offered Shameem a chance to attend school. So she became the only girl student in her class.

    However, Shameem struggled to complete her schooling. To get permission for college, she went on three﹣day﹣ hunger strike(抗议). After graduating from college, Shameem got a position in non﹣profit organization(非营利性组织)working to help women in rural(农村的)areas.

    Shameem found that the position was more than just a job for her. She discovered her power. By setting an example, her experience could encourage more people to understand the importance of education and send their daughters to school.

I remember…

    Mary Chan asked her grandfather what he could remember about his secondary school. This is part of what he told her…

    I'll never forget Mr. Tan.We called him Tiger Tan.He was our math teacher when I was in Sec 1.He was a wiry(筋骨强壮的),muscular man and he was very strict.I never saw him smile while I was at school.

    Mr. Tan was an excellent math teacher. He explained everything slowly and clearly on the blackboard.When he looked at the class, you had to be looking at his hawk﹣like eyes.He stared at us like a tiger facing a group of rabbits. If you weren't looking directly at him, he summoned(命令)you to the front of the class. Then he took "Joey" from his cupboard. "Joey" was a length of garden hose about half a metre long. After few painful wallops(猛)from "Joey" you paid attention all the time!

Sometimes Mr. Tan felt that the class was getting sleepy. Then he suddenly said, "Outside everybody! Round the school! RUN!" He stood at the door of the classroom, waiting for us to return. He had a slipper(拖鞋)and hit the last one or two pupils. I was usually the first back.

    We were all scared of Tiger Tan. We didn't like him but we respected(敬重)him. He was a good teacher and was always fair.

    We had a very different math teacher in Sec 3. He was Mr. Hu. He was cheerful and friendly.When he entered the room, somebody would ask him how a camera worked. Then he spent the rest of the lesson explaining how something worked. He drew diagrams on the board and sometimes one of us asked another question to keep him talking. Most of the class sat and day﹣dreamed about food or sport. We weren't really interested in cameras. We just wanted to avoid doing any work.

Food is a kind of culture.It's a nation's memory and pride.The famous French baguette (长棍面包) is one of their memories and prides.French people think it should be protected. "It is much more than just a kind of bread.It is a symbol of France—it's like the Eiffel Tower," said Dominigue Anract,president of the Confederation of French Bakers.

    So it's no wonder that a group of French cooks want the baguette to become a form of intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) listed by UNESCO.French culture leaders have given a suggestion to the country's president.

    UNESCO's intangible heritage list aims to protect culture from the influence of the world.Cooks in France believe that if the baguette is on the list,it will be better protected.The list already includes Belgian beer and Neapolitan pizza.

    The baguette has been protected by law since 1993.The law says the bread must be made with only the following things:water,wheat flour,yeast and salt.The flour should be fermented (发酵) for 15 to 20 hours at a certain temperature.This strict rule makes the food special and delicious.

    Six million baguettes are sold every day in France.However,as supermarkets continue to take over,tens of thousands of shops have closed since the 1950s. "The first thing we ask of a child is to go buy a baguette," Anract said. "We think it important to protect these habits."

   There were three big fish in the lake.One of them,Demo,was wise;another one,Jimmy,was half﹣wise;Martin,the third one,was stupid.

    Some fishermen came to the bank of the lake with their nets.The three fish saw them.

    Demo decided at once to leave,to make the long and difficult trip to the ocean.He thought,"I won't discuss with these two about this.They love this place so much that they call it home and will stay on.How silly they are!They still haven't realized we are in great danger now.Their ignorance will cost them their lives."

"Look at this!The best and biggest fish is dead."One of the men lifted him by the tail,and threw him up on the ground.He rolled (滚动)over and over and moved secretly toward the water,and then,back in.

    The third fish was aimlessly jumping about,trying to escape with his speed and cleverness.The net,of course,finally closed around him,and as he lay in the hot frying﹣pan bed,he thought,"If I get out of this,I'll never live again in the limits of the lake.Next time,the ocean!I'll make it my home."
