He is a hurdling athlete (跨栏运动员). “He kept running and jumping every day when he was a child. He never sat there quietly,” said his mother. In Grade Four, Liu tried high jump. He was never afraid to try. He was always the first to try a higher jump. He would jump again and again until he made it! Later, people said he was not tall enough for high jump. His parents wanted him to stop doing it. “I told my mother that I wanted to take part in the Olympics,” Liu said. Luckily, in 1998, Liu met his coach (教练) Sun Haiping. Sun thought he could be No.1. He asked Liu to run the 110-meter hurdles. “I showed that Asian people could run fast, too,” said Liu. He equaled the world record ( 平世界纪录 ) of 12.91 seconds held since 1993 by Colin Jackson of Wales. Liu has won a gold medal at the 2004 Summer Olympics in the 110- meter hurdles event.

It took millions of men hundreds of years to build it.The Great Wall has a history of over two thousand years. The kings began to build the first parts of it around two thousand seven hundred years ago. Then Qin Shihuang had all the walls joined up.

She knocked on doors and asked for money. She always said the same thing. “Good morning, Im collecting for a church charity. Please give generously. We need $5,000.” Then she held out a collecting box. Most people put a few coins in the box.An artist lived in one of the apartments. He opened the door. “Good morning.” she said. “Im collecting for a church charity. Please give generously. We need $5,000.” The artist thought for a moment, then he said, “Im sorry, but I dont have any money. However, Ill give you a painting.

The Chinese Yellow Sea Wetlands are one example. They are in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province. They are the ideal home for many different kinds of birds and animals. The worlds largest Milu Deer Nature Reserve is there. More than 700 milu deer live freely there. There are not many red-crowned cranes in the world, but every winter you can see some in the Red-Crowned Cranes Nature Reserve in the Yellow Sea Wetlands. The temperature in the wetlands is usually not too high or too low. There is a lot of rain and sunshine, too. They are really good places for wildlife. They offer food and home for some special kinds of animals and birds. It is not the only reason why we need to protect wetlands. Wetlands are important because they also prevent floods. But some people want to change the wetlands to make space for farms and buildings. This means there will be less and less space for wildlife. Luckily, more and more people are beginning to realize the importance of wetlands and wildlife. Every year on February 2nd, the World Wetlands Day, many activities are held to tell people more about wetlands.46. Which of the following is the ideal home for birds and animals?A. The Yellow River.

If listeners from Europe and America hear this kind of music, I hope it can make them jump back a little!(77)The song blends(混合) Chous traditional Chinese sounds with rock and electric instrument.(78)His song says: A long journey, countless nights, waiting for a clear moon, on the border of dreams, the wind blows ceaselessly, never feeling tired, the East is worthy, who is number one, let us pursue perfection.March 10 was the closing date for the fourth round of Olympic song collection.
