Blind imitation(模仿）is destroying yourself. To common people, imitation appears attractive; to creative people ,imitation is misleading.
In the early stages of skill or character(性格）development, imitation is helpful, When I first learned to cook, I used recipes and really cooked some tasty dishes. But soon I grew bored. Why did I have to follow someone else’s way of cooking when I could create my own? Imitating role models(榜样） is like using training wheels on a child’s bicycle. They help you get going, but once you find your own balance, you fly faster and farther without depending on them.
In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we hold poor role models. As a child, if you watched people whose lives pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. If you do not make strong choices for yourself, you’ll get the results of the weak choices of others.
In the field of entertainment, our culture appreciates famous people. Those stars look great on screen. But when they step off screen, their personal lives may be awful. If you are going to follow someone, concentrate on their talent, not their bad character or behaviors.
People like the person who is willing to act on their sudden inspiration to create something particular. Think of the things and people that have affected you most deeply. They moved you because their creations were caused by inspiration, not desperation(绝望）. The world is changed not by those who do similar work before them but by those who do creative work. Creative people are full of new ideas. The problem a creator faces is not running out of material; It is what to do with the material to knock at the door of imagination.
Study your role models, accept the gifts they have given and leave behind what does not serve you. Then you can say, “If I have announced my success, it’s by learning lessons from my ancestors’ failure.”Imitation is useful when you
| A．know you are common |
| B．lose the balance of life |
| C．begin to learn something new |
| D．get tired of daily life |
In order not to get the bad result of imitation, we should
| A．Forget daily fear and pain |
| B．choose the right example |
| C．ask others for decisions |
| D．stay away from stars |
The author thinks the world moves on because of those who
| A．turn their original ideas into real things |
| B．influence others with their knowledge |
| C．discover what their ancestors did |
| D．put different materials to good use |
The trouble a creator faces is
| A．what to learn from other people |
| B．how to affect other people deeply |
| C．how to search for more materials |
| D．how to use imagination creatively |
What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage?
| A．To compare imitation with creation. |
| B．To criticize the characters of role models. |
| C．To sow the importance of creativity. |
| D．To explain the ways of achieving success. |
Many of us have been troubled by junk mail or phone calls from salespeople. We are especially that our personal information has been leaked(泄露）。

I was worried that I had to speak English so much! But at the end of the school day, I was happier than I thought: the morning with them today was more enjoyable than I expected.
Today is the most unforgettable first day I have had! Matthew is fantastic! His English is clearer and easier to listen to than I thought. The other English student, Beth, is the most helpful girl I’ve ever met. There were lots of things to do on the first day. Beth offered to help Miss Chan put up all the notices. Of course, some of the credit (功劳) should also go to ME because I translated some of the notices for her. Miss Chan praised us!
We finished all the preparations 10 minutes earlier than expected, then Beth and I talked for a while, Matthew sang several English songs and did some stand-up comedy (单人喜剧表演) at the party. We all praised him. When the bell rang to end the first school day, none of us wanted to leave.
When I went back home, I had a little headache. I have probably spoken more English today than the whole of last year.

Can you understand the following words?
“Long time no see.”
“Good good study, day day up.”
“I like your smile, but dislike you put your shoes on my face.”
Yes, we call these examples Chinglish, like “people mountain, people sea”.
Chinglish usually means English words with Chinese grammar on street signs or products（商品）. However, many English speaking tourists love them. Tom has been living in Beijing for years. “I think many Chinese people dislike Chinglish. But I love it. It’s quite interesting. I think if the translations（翻译） of English in China are all perfect（完美的）, something will be lost from Chinese culture. So, it is also a part of Chinese culture.”
However, Chinglish will probably become a part of history in future. Beijing has made a plan to correct（改正） Chinglish within five years. “It is so funny to see Chinglish on the signs. And they are a kind of trouble for communication（交流） between the Chinese and foreigners,” a Beijinger said.
However, some people in China like Chinglish. They think that English has “borrowed”(借) a lot from other languages such as German, French and Spanish（西班牙语） in the past, and now as Chinese’s turn.

What would the future life be like? I think we will be able to travel faster and safer around the world and into space. Maybe one day we can work in Beijing, sleep in Chengdu and visit the moon for a holiday.
We will have new energy(能源)that doesn’t make pollution. Possibly, people will find ways to use cleaner things, such as sea water, to make energy without polluting the earth.
We will have machines that can copy(复制) everything in the future. Put a cake on the machine and it makes a new one. If the machine is like a fax machine(传真机), we can send food and gifts to our friends easily.
We will have clever robots that work for us, and then bring us useful things and take away our rubbish(垃圾). Now we have to press(按) a key or type a word to make a machine work. But in the future, if we think of something, the machine can make it for us. The machine can understand our ideas.
We will be able to go into computer games and films, and everything will feel real. We will be able to make our homes like forests (森林)or sunny beaches or anything we want. Perhaps, one day we will be able to collect our dreams and put them on DVDs.
