Hi! My name is Robin. I live in a town in the east of Shanghai. Over the last twenty years, great changes have taken place here.
In the past, my hometown was only a small village. There were no tall buildings. But now more and more tall buildings appear and the roads get wider. My father used to work in a small post office. We kept in touch with each other mainly by sending letters. Now we can use telephones, mobile phones, the Internet to contact each other. The world becomes smaller and smaller.
We can find our life more comfortable. We live in big flats. We enjoy milk, vegetables, fruit and meat for meals. We can also enjoy wonderful films and listen to music with MP5 players or mobile phones. In the past, we couldn’t enjoy life like this.
On the other hand, pollution has become a serious problem in our daily life. In the past, there were not many factories. So the water was clean and the air was fresh. However, the water and the air aren’t clean any more, because too many factories have polluted them. The government has taken action to reduce the pollution. Now things have been better.
I am sure my hometown will be more and more beautiful.

“Go for it!” The expression “Go for it!” is a way of encouraging someone to try something. “Go for it!” means you should not worry about failure or be too careful. You should take a chance and be brave. “Go for it!” gets its name from football. But it is not the football played in most countries such as England, France or Japan, but the kind of football played in the United States and Canada. One of the most exciting times in football comes when a team has failed, after three tries, to move the ball forward ten yards. The team must make a very important decision. The conservative (保守的) choice is to kick the ball and accept temporary defeat (暂时 的失败) in order to get a good position for your team the next time it gets the ball. The more exciting choice, however, is to try a fourth and final time to get the remaining yards needed.
People now are certain to shout their advice. Some will shout, “Kick the ball!” But others will encourage the team to take a chance. “Go for it!” they will shout loudly.
In the 1980s, people began using this expression in many kinds of situations to encourage someone to act bravely. There is no guarantee (保障) that the action you “Go for it!” will succeed. But that is the chance you take when you decide to go for it. You put your fears behind.
You choose courage over safety. You hold your breath and go for it.

Have you ever heard the old saying, “Never judge a book by its cover”?This is a good rule to follow when trying to judge the intelligence(智力）of others.
Some people have minds that stand out only in certain situations. A young man with an unusual gift in creative writing may find himself speechless in the presence of a pretty girl. He fumbles for (摸索）words and talks in a halting (踌躇的）manner. But don’t make the mistake of thinking him stupid. With a pen and paper, he can express himself eloquently (雄辩地,有说服力地).
Other people may fool you into overestimating (过高估计)their intelligence by putting up a good front(举止). A student who listens attentively and takes notes is bound to make a favorable impression on his teachers. But when it comes to exams, he may score near the bottom of the class.
It all boils down to this—you can’t judge someone by appearances. The only way to determine a person’s intelligence is to get to know him. Then you can observe(观察） how he reacts to different situations. The more situations you observe, the more accurate(正确的) your judgement is likely to be.
