The other day I happened to meet a young America student in our school. It was the first time that I have met a foreigner, so I went up immediately and greeted him with English. He told me that he was a college student travel in China and he liked China very much. I volunteered to show him around the school. He was deep impressed with the Chinese buildings and was busy taking the photos all the time. He said never had he seen so beautiful buildings. After that, they went boating on the BingXi River and had a wonderful time. I was very glad to have such a good chance to practicing my spoken English.

   Alfred Carlton Gilbert(1884-1961) was a man of many ideas and talents. As a small boy, he kept trying new things. At age 12, he started a sports club for his friends and got their school to have a field day with active games and prizes. As he grew and practiced, Gilbert became skilled at pole vaulting(撑杆跳高), pull-ups, the long jump and football.

Gilbert broke the world record for pull-ups in 1900 and the distance record for running long dive in 1902. And he won a gold medal in the pole vault at the Olympic Games in 1908. By that time, he had nearly finished medical studies. Choosing not to make medicine his career, Gilbert co-founded Mysto Manufacturing, a manufacturer of magic sets, in 1907. Gilbert had amused his friends and earned college money by doing magic tricks, so he knew what was needed. One day, Gilbert saw workers using steel girders(钢梁) to build towers for power lines. That gave him the idea for the Erector Set, a popular construction toy.

In 1917, the Council of National Defense thought no toys should be produced for Christmas because the country was fighting in World War I. Gilbert and other men from the Toy Manufacturers of America went to Washington, with about 40 different toys. They had 15 minutes to speak. This meeting was at the end of a long, hard day. Gilbert told the government men at the meeting how toys helped children learn. His helpers brought out the toys. Soon, the tired government men were on the floor, playing with building sets, models of navy ships, and other toys. The time limit was forgotten; so was the Christmas toy ban(禁令).

Gilbert spent the rest of his life improving erector sets. His company made and sold the sets, plus chemistry and other science sets and toy trains. He made items for homes, businesses, and the army. When he died in 1961, he had 150 patents (专利)for his many inventions. But his main joy was in helping children learn and have fun at the same time.

Act One
Mom, Dad and Mike are busy in the kitchen. Carol is writing something upstairs.
Maggie: Mike, would you get your sister, please？
Mike: Yeah. Fido, dinner.
Carol: I'll be right down. Tell Mom, I'm just gonna finish this paragraph.
Mike: Hey, Mom, Fido's gonna finish her paragraph.
Maggie: Thank you. I heard. And frankly, Mike, I don't think it's funny or proper for you to call your sister Fido.
Mike: You are right. It's a boy's name.

Act Two
All the family are siting at table.
Jason: You're working very hard, sweetheart.
Carol: Yeah, I just wanna get it right, you know, so it's like a best article they've ever got.
Mike: I don't think so. Mom says Mike can make three more comments on you during dinner.
Jason: Probably that was the last one. Right, Mike?
Mike: Why? Yes, Father.
Carol: Anyway, tomorrow is the moment of truth.
Tomorrow, Mr. Simmonds reads all the articles, and decides who gets the job.
Jason: Oh, no, no, not Simmonds.

Jason: That's the teacher who locked the kid in the closet for not finishing the homework.
Maggie: I don't think there's anything to worry about.
Just do the best you can. I'm sure he'll be impressed.
Carol: This is so exciting. Maybe I get the job. Maybe I don't. But I'll never find out unless I try my best and give it my all. Mom, do you think you can read my article tonight and tell me what you think?
Maggie: Well, I'll be happy to, honey.
Carol: You'll be honest?
