　　It's not easy to find a person with the qualities it takes to be a hero．I didn't really understand the meaning of the word “hero” until my third year in the college．

　　If you saw her, you wouldn't think she really looks the part, but she is stronger than Superman could ever be．Her name is Sandra Keierleber．I first met her at volleyball tryouts(選拔賽), but didn't notice anything special at first．As the week passed, however, she showed she had more heart than anyone．She stood out because she never gave up, no matter what．

　　Sandra isn't the tallest or the fastest-in fact, this was her first time playing volleyball and it showed-but that didn't stop her．She was always the first to arrive and the last to leave．By the end of tryouts she had found a place in everyone's heart．When the name list for new members was put up, we all waited nervously as she checked．When she stood at the door and smiled happily, all we could do was cheer．

　　After Sandra made the team, she worked even harder to improve her game．When she asked for help, we gladly taught her．She also became our fan, attending almost every school game and even joining us in the city games．We all like her, because she never thinks about doing things the easy way, or loses that smile．Because of her great efforts, she makes herself a true hero-and my hero, too．

　　We use the Internet for many things：business, shopping， writing letters, talking to people, finding information and so on．In recent years a new kind of English has grown on the Internet．There's no real word for it yet, so we'll call it e－talk．People don't like typing too much．To save time, they turn phrases into a few letters called acronyms．Acronyms are often used in chat rooms．Some of them are．

　　BTW(by the way)BRB(be right back)

　　LOL(laughing out loud)IMO(in my opinion)

　　People also use many abbreviations(縮寫), They are shortened forms of words．Some common abbreviations are：

　　Info(information)purer(computer)

　　Pie(picture)sec(second)

　　We usually don't see people when we communicate(交流)on the Net, so people have new ways to show feelings．Most people use their keywords to draw “feeling”．such as：

　　∶－)(happy)　∶－p(joking)　∶－((sad)　∶－0(surprised)

　　These days, many forums(論壇)have picture feelings．For example，

　　There are even whole new words, like” newbie's”(someone who is new on a chat board or forum)．

　　It takes time for people to get used to(適應(yīng))e－talk．Also, different groups on the Net have their own special ways of communicating．Newbie's have to ask other people what they mean．As the Internets grows, e－talk will continue to grow and change．

　　Do you want to know anything about ma staying in America? Well, Let me tell you the truth, it is really an eye－opening experience to study here．

　　In China, I had English classes five times a week since the fifth grade．However didn't know textbook English was very different from everyday English until I came to Hotchkiss School, Connecticut．

　　When I first studied English, I was told to say，“I am fine” when people say “How are you?” But in the US, I found that people say,” I am good” or “I am tired．”

　　One day, someone greeted me with” What's up?” It made me confused．I thought for a moment and then smiled because I didn't know what to say．

　　Since then, I have discovered more and more differences between Chinese and the US cultures．

　　To my surprise, the US girls spend a lot of time in burning sun getting a tan(曬黑)．However, in China, girls try every possible way to get their skin paler(白的)．

　　I am also surprised by how hardworking the US students are．In China, schoolwork is almost everything, so we study hard all the time．But here, an “excellent” student gets good grades, does a lot for the public and plays sports or music．The kids here are so talented ，I am starting to be sorry that I gave up playing the piano at an early age and that I have never thought about sports．

　　Many years ago, a rich man found that someone wan taking valuable things from his house．He locked all the doors and all the windows．Still the things went．It must be one of the servants! How could he catch the servant? He thought of a good plan．

　　Late one evening．When it was dark, he called all the servants together, “There is a thief in the house, but I know how to catch him．” He said．” In the next room there is a square box．In that box there is a chicken which is magic．Each of you must go into the room alone．It is quite dark in the room．You must feel your way to the table and press the first finger of your right hand on the top of the box．If you are not the thief, nothing will happen．If you are the thief, the chicken will make such a loud sound that everyone in the house will hear it．” Some of the servants said that they did not want to do this．They were frightened of the magic chicken．But the man said that they must do what he said．If they had done nothing wrong．They had nothing to fear．

　　So the servants went into the dark room one at a time, while the rest listened carefully．Soon everyone had been in the room．but the chicken made no sound．” Good “said the man．” Now I know who the thief is! The servants looked very surprised．“Show me your right hands! The chicken did not make a sound for a very good reason．There is no chicken in the box at all! But the top of the box was covered with paint．You all have paint on your fingers, except for one person．That person is the thief, and he was afraid to put his finger on the box．” He pointed to one of the servants．” Your finger is clean! You are the thief!”

　　You are probably familiar with the saying：An apple a day keeps the doctor away．A recent research carried out by the Chinese University of Hong Kong may change the saying：

　　An apple a day may keep aging away．

　　The research chose fruit flies(果蠅), as they share many genes(基因)with humans．The fruit flies were either fed normally or had an apple extract(濃縮物)added to their diet．

　　It turned out that those fruit flies that were given apple extract lived about 55 days－five days longer than the flies that were normally fed．The research group also found it easier for the flies to walk，climb and move about as they aged．

　　According to the result, the researchers believed that the antioxidants(抗氧化劑)in the apple extract helped clean up dangerous chemicals(化學(xué)物質(zhì))that cause illnesses，as well as aging．

　　In another study，researchers examined diets of thousands of women．They discovered that those who regularly ate apples were 20 percent less likely to suffer heart illnesses and stroke．

　　The apples’ genetic code(遺傳密碼)was discovered recently．It allows scientists to develop nicer and healthier fruits．Researchers are already using the information to grow a kind of apples full of antioxidants that can keep eyes and joints healthy and protect humans against heart illnesses and cancer．

　　Apples that kill the desire(欲望)to eat could also be produced, with the first “extra-healthy’’ apples on supermarket shelves within just four or five years．

　　The team that keeps studying apple DNA includes 100 scientists from five countries．Their research also suggests that around 65 million years ago, when dinosaurs began to die off the plant，which would finally become today’s apple tree, experienced a great genetic change．The number of many of its genes doubled．The extra genes allowed the apple to get used to worse conditions and go through a different development from peaches，strawberries and other related fruits．
