    I was so excited after I found an advertisement about traveling in a magazine. It said, "Enjoy a week of sightseeing in one of Europe's most beautiful cities while staying at one of its best 1" I booked one at once and started my journey.

    When I got to the hotel, I felt disappointed. Before I got the key to the room, I had waited fifteen minutes at the reception. When I was ready to take a shower, I found the shower didn't work. So I called the reception.

    "Hello. This is Room 308. There isn't any 2 in my bathroom"

    "Are you sure?"

    "Of course I'm sure!"

    "I'll send our hotel engineer at once."

    An hour later, the engineer came to look at the 3. He hit the pipes a few times and seemed to be4. "Sorry, but I cannot fit it today. Maybe, tomorrow." Then be held out his hand. I couldn't believe it! He wanted a tip for doing 5!

    I was very angry. But suddenly, I had a better idea. I gave the engineer a few coins. He didn't fix my shower but he taught me the secrets of 6 in his country. Two minutes later I was back at the reception desk. I explained the7about the shower to the receptionist and he replied, "Sorry, This is a 8 situation. But we can do nothing." At the moment, I 9 exactly what to do. I gave the hotel manager a very large tip.

    Fifteen minutes later I moved into room 418. It was twice bigger than Room 308, it had a wonderful view of the city, a 10 bed and, most importantly there was water in the bathroom!

    This was the first real task I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. As I searched the name, I found that there were two famous people having the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts(花生), while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice: let the coin decide. I flipped (掷) a coin and ah! Tails (背面)! My report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington carver.

    Weeks later, I stood in front of the classroom and proudly read my homework. But things started to get strange. I looked around the room, only to find my classmates with big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes and my stone-faced teacher. I was completely lost. "What could be causing everyone to act this way?"

    Oh well, I dropped the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, "My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American war of independence." The whole world became quiet! How could I know that my teacher meant that George Washington?

    Of course, my subject result was awful. Sad but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to the headmaster, Miss Lancelot, but she said firmly: no re-dos; no new score. I felt that it was not fair, and I believed I deserved a second chance. So I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, I sat in the headmaster's office again, but this time a completely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the terrible moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster told me I was good enough to skip the 6th grade and started the 7th grade next term.

    Have you wondered why you have two eyes and why they are set close together on the front of your face? The reasons are simple and important.

    Your eyes are like two small cameras. A camera catches an image of an object and records it on film. Similarly, when you look at something, each eye takes in what it sees and sends this image to the back of the eyeball. Because your eyes are set close together, they see the world from about the same height but from a little different angles. While your right eye sees an object a little to the right, your left eye sees the same object a bit to the left. Working as a team, the eyes send the images to your brain, then your brain put them together and you see a single image in the center.

    Seeing in stereo (立体) means seeing with two eyes working tighter, which is called stereoscopic sight. This allows you to see the world in 3D. Seeing depth helps you to judge how far it is between you and the objects you see, and then adjust to the changing angle so that you can see something clearly when you move closer or farther away. If images are coming from a single eye, however, only height and width can beperceived. So if you see with one eye, you will get a 2D image, as in a photograph.

    Now consider why your two eyes are on the front of your face. Think of other animals just like you. They are all hunting animals, like lions and tigers. This provides a field of sight about 180 degree wide, which is called binocular sight. On the other hand, animals that are hunted have eyes on the sides of the head, which provides nearly 360-degree field of sight. However, they don't have stereoscopic sight. It is difficult for them to judge how far a danger is.

    With both stereoscopic and binocular sight, humans and hunting animals share the ability to see from side to side and to judge how far it is from other objects. If you think it would be great to have another kind of sight, perhaps with hundreds of tiny eyes like many insects do, think again! Each tiny insect eye sees only a tiny part. Besides, what if you needed glasses? Be glad for the eyesight that you have.

    Zheng He, the Columbus of the East, was an amazing man.

    He was born in 1371 and, 11 years later, was caught by the army of a rich young man called Zhu Di and made to work for him. Over time the rich man saw that Zheng He was very clever and strong and they became close friends. In 1403 Zhu Di was made the King of China and he asked Zheng He to join his new government.

    The King wanted to learn more about the world and show other countries his power. He ordered many new ships to be built and made Zheng He their leader. Between 1405 and 1433, Zheng He led seven sea trips to different parts of the world. He certainly travelled to India, Africa and the Middle East. A few people think his ships may have even reached South America and Australia.

    Each trip lasted between two and four years and it is believed he sailed more than 50 000 kms during the years of his travels. With 28 000 men and over 300 ships, such as boats for food, water and even soldiers' horses, Zheng He led a fleet whose size would not be equaled by Europeans for over 500 years.

    On these trips he brought with him many Chinese goods like silk and medicine to give to foreign kings or to sell for local goods. He returned from each trip with boats filled with expensive things such as gold and jewellery, foreign guests and strange animals like a giraffe.

    It is a pity that we may never learn everything about Zheng He's travels. After he died in 1433, the new king, who believed these trips were unlucky and too expensive, had them stopped and he burned almost all the books about Zheng He's travels. It is only in the last 50 years that historians have begun to carefully study the adventures of the great Zheng He.
