8.Reading is an activity that people enjoy a lot in their free time.
Some like reading newspapers and o(66)thers enjoy novels or comic(喜劇的)books.My f(67)avourite books are those about the lives of great people.Reading them always gives me a lot of ideas on how to make my o(68)wn life better.
Great people are remembered not because they were handsome or beautiful,but because they did not give up w(69)hen their lives were difficult.They tried to use e(70)very chance to change their lives and make the world better.
One good example is Orville and Wilbur Wright,the two brothers who invented the airplane.The plane has m(71)ade the world a small village.Hard work,not good luck,is the r(72)eason why the Wright Brothers could invent this convenient(方便的)machine and become great people.Today we will remember them when we see planes f(73)lying in the sky.
Whenever I read s(74)tories about great people,I always learn a lot from them and they encourage me to march on.
This is w(75)hy I enjoy reading about great people's lives.
