26、While in college, Tim started to look for easy ways to make money. One of the opportunities he saw was gambling (赌博). He started learning about all forms of gambling. He got lucky enough to make $9,000, but sadly it didn’t last long and over the next year he lost all of that money. It was at this point that Tim realized that he needed to stop gambling and focus on learning about finance.
One day, he was talking to one of his friends about creating a business, and his friend turned him onto Quick Sprout. So he started reading every blog post on Quick Sprout in the hope that he could learn about how to become a successful businessman and meet some people through Quick Sprout that he could partner up with.
A year ago Tim read a blog post on Quick Sprout about another businessman by the name of Timothy Sykes. Tim visited Timothysykes.com and learned about his Millionaire Challenge program that taught people how to buy and sell penny stocks (低价股票). Tim thought it would be worth giving a try.
Tim spent the next few months learning from Timothy Sykes on how to trade stocks. After he felt that he had learned enough, he wanted to start trading. Within the first 6 months of using what he learned in the Millionaire Challenge program, he made over $40,000. At one point he even made $11,000 in 15 minutes.
Over the next 12 months Tim is on track to make even more money. So far things are looking good and he is already ahead of schedule. The Millionaire Challenge program has worked out so well for him and he is now starting to enjoy the finer things of life.

Quizlet
Quizlet is a learning app — a computer program you use on your mobile device. It can help users build and test their knowledge of English words and terms. Quizlet has word sets for millions of subjects. And, it is quickly becoming a useful mobile tool for language learners.

In Socrative, teachers can create timed learning games. In class, students compete individually or as part of a team against classmates. One game students love is called space Race. In this game, if a team answers a question correctly, their rocket moves forward. This team whose rocket gets to the end first wins. Also, teachers can use Socrative as an “exit ticket,” a question they can ask students about what they learned in that day’s class. Students write their answers on their mobile devices. Then, the teacher can show the answers on a shared video screen.

28、 With a continuous 1,300 kilometer-long coastline and beautiful beaches, Wales is a popular holiday destination in the United Kingdom. Most Welsh people live in south Wales in the capital city, Cardiff, and two other big cities: Swansea and Newport.
Language
The official languages of Wales are English and Welsh, and “Wenglish” is a Welsh-English dialect (方言). Everyone speaks English, but if you go to school in Wales you have to learn Welsh until you are 16. Street signs are written in Welsh and English, and villages, towns and cities have an English name and a Welsh name. The Welsh language is one of the oldest languages in Europe and around 20 percent of people in Wales speak Welsh.
Sports
The Welsh enjoy watching and playing sports, especially rugby and football. The modern Millennium Stadium in Cardiff can hold 74,500 people and is where you go if you want to watch a football or rugby match or a concert.
Water sports are popular in Wales. You can go surfing or wakeboarding (尾浪滑水). If you like unusual sports, visit the small town of Llanwrtyd Wells. Every year in this town there is a man versus horse marathon (马拉松) and a bog snorkelling (沼泽潜水) competition.
Food
There are lots of sheep in Wales, so people eat a lot of lamb (羊羔肉). Typical Welsh dishes include “cawl”, which is lamb stew (炖羊肉), sausages and “rarebit”, which is a type of cheese on toast. There are also Welsh cakes, which are small, sweet, round cakes with dried raisins (葡萄干) inside.
Symbols
If you ever go to Wales, you will see dragons everywhere; red dragons are a symbol of Wales. Other symbols include the leek (a long, green vegetable) and the daffodil.

29、In 1945,there was a young boy of 14 in a concentration camp (集中营). He was tall, thin but had a bright smile. Every day, a young girl came by the other side of the fence. She noticed the boy and asked him if he spoke Polish, and he said yes. She then reached in her pocket and gave him her apple. He thanked her and she went on her way. The next day, she came by again, bringing with her another apple which she gave him. Each day, she walked by the outside of the fence, hoping to see him, and when she did, she happily handed him an apple in exchange for conversation.
On day he told her not to come by any more. He was being shipped to another concentration camp. As he walked away with tears running down his face, he wondered if he'd ever see her again. She was the only kind person he had seen across the fence.
He made it out of the concentration camp, and immigrated (移民)to America. In 1957, his friends had fixed him up on a blind date (约会). He had no idea who the woman was and picked her up, and during the dinner they began talking of Poland at that time. She said she used to see a boy and gave him an apple daily. He asked if this boy was tall, skinny and if he had told her that she couldn't come back because he was leaving. She said yes.
It was her, the young girl who came by every day to give him apples. After 12years, after the war and in another country, they met again. What are the odds (概率). He proposedto her on that very night and told her he'd never again let her go. They are still happily married today.
