　　My mother was telling me about how she and her family got their first television when she was a teenager. Of course it was black and white. She said she only watch it at night. She doesn’t remember over watching it in the morning or afternoon. When I was young we had only about 3 or 4 different channels. My bothers ,my sisters and I would sometimes fight about which channel to watch .But we usually enjoyed the same shows.

　　Nowadays we can get hundreds of channels on TV.I can’t believe it! There are channels with old movies, cooking ,fishing and so on. It’s amazing! There is a channel for everything. I wonder how much my bothers, my sisters and I would fight if we had hundreds of channels when I was a child. Of course we had only one television set.

　　These days I notice families with 2 or 3 or more television sets in their homes. I guess it stops people from arguing over which channel to choose from .

　　Expo 2010 is held in Shanghai from May 1to October 31.People all over the world are looking forward to it. Here are several golden rules on how to best plan your trip.

　　Rule 1 : Do your homework

　　Read everything you can before going. Really study the maps .Know the pavilions. Arrive at the entrance nearest to the things you want to see. Have a plan. It will make a big difference.

　　Rule 2 : Allow plenty of time

　　Expo 2010 is the largest attraction event in the history of the world. It will take many days too see it. Plan to spend from five to eight days of more seeing it.

　　Rule 3 : Pace yourself

　　Expo is enormous .The distances are punishing .It is better to spend a day seeing a single area than to run back and forth all over the site. Remember to wear the most comfortable shoes. Never mind what they look like.

　　Rule 4 : Get going in May

　　At many Expos the crowds are smaller in May and in early June than any other time. And beware the last two weeks. During every Expo, people delay their visits and then in early October they suddenly realize. “Expo will close soon! I haven’t seen it!” As a result ,the last several weeks usually have the most crowed days of the entire Expo.

　　Rule 5 : Find out what everyone else is doing –and do the opposite

　　If you don’t like large crowds and long lines, do the opposite. Here is an example: Most people go on Saturdays or on holidays .So avoid Saturdays and holidays. Go on weekdays when most people are at work.

　　Rule 6 : Turn up

　　Expo 2010 is the largest celebration in China’s history-am amazing once –in-a-lifetime event. When it is gone and it will never be seen again. So whatever you do, don’t miss it!

　　When we talk about stars ,especially women stars ,it seems that they are always young, pretty and own charming body shapes. But recently a Britain’s Got Talent(英国达人)star Susan Boyle has changed our views absolutely.

　　Simon Cowell ,one of the judges of the talent show spoke of his shock over Ms Boyle’s voice. “This lady camp up ,and I’m thinking, ‘This will take five seconds and I can go to have a cup of tea’. That changed when she began to sing I Dreamed to Dream from Les Miserables. She knew we were going to have that reaction and just to see that look of satisfaction on her face through –it was one of my favorite moments,” Cowell said.

　　The performance was posted on line and before long, the 47-year-old Scottish woman has been famous all over the world.

　　Speaking from her home in Scotland, Ms Boyle said that she hasn’t thought of changing her appearance. She said that her friend helped her with make-up. “I mean, that’s hardly a makeover,” she added.

　　Ms Boyle also spoke of the reason she first began to explore her vocal talents, “I was kind of slow at school, so getting like singing was a good way of hiding behind that and thus it built my confidence.”

　　Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time. In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.

　　Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also you are very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋转的)door. When it does, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.
