Chinatown is the name given to an area in the middle of London. It is just between Leicester Square and Shaftsbury Avenue. Gerrard Street is at the center and is the most important street in the area. There is a large Chinese community(社區(qū)) with a lot of Chinese restaurants, Chinese supermarkets and shops in this street.

    In the 1950s, it was a poor area and everything was very cheap. At the same time, the world rice market changed and thousand of farm workers in Hong Kong lost their jobs. They began arriving in London to look for work. They found jobs in the restaurants in this area. Many British people like Chinese food, and the restaurants were popular.

    These restaurant workers often worked 17 hours a day and had no time to learn English. As more Chinese arrived, more shops and businesses grew up. Wives came and joined their husbands and children came and joined their fathers. The community grew, and Chinatown was born.

    In the 1970s and 1980s, British-born Chinese started to have a better education and this brought economic(經(jīng)濟(jì)的) success to the area. Many families moved out of Chinatown, and there was more space for businesses. Gerrard Street become a street only for visitors and was soon a popular place for tourists.

    Now everyone knows about London’s Chinatown. During the Chinese New Year, the streets are seen with flags and thousands of Chinese go into the streets. For most of the year, though, Londoners and tourists go there mainly for the food in the Chinese restaurants. The best restaurants are the ones where the Chinese eat.

  The doctor's Handwriting

Mrs South is excited these days. A sudden terrible disease hardly killed her son two months ago. She and her husband took the poor boy to several hospitals, but few doctors could save him. Watching their helpless son struggling for a bare subsistence(在死亡線上掙扎), the woman’s and her husband’s hearts were broken. At that moment, one of their friends introduced Mr Young who worked in a small hospital to them. Thanks to the doctor, their son was saved and he was all right and came out of hospital last week.

The woman decided to ask the doctor to dinner. The invitation was sent to him yesterday. In reply she received a letter which was impossible to read.

“I must know whether he has accepted or not.” said Mrs South.

“If I were you,” suggested her husband. “I should take it to a chemist(藥劑師). He can always read doctors’ letters, however badly written.”

The chemist looked at the notepaper for a while, without waiting for Mrs South’s explanation, and handed her a bottle.

“Here you are, madam,” he said. “That will be two dollars.”

    Television was invented in 1926 by John Logie Baird, a Scottish inventor. Baird’s television certainly didn’t look like a television today!

Electronic televisions like the ones we have today were invented by Vladimir Zworykin in the 1920s in the United States.

    The first computer was built in 1946 by two American engineers, J.P.Eckert and John Mauchly. It was developed for the army, and it was so large that it took up an entire room!

Today computers are involved(包含)in almost everything we do and are found almost everywhere we go.

Mr Baker worked in a big factory. He was busy all the time and had little time to rest. One summer, he decided to go to the sea to spend his holidays.

One afternoon, it was very hot. Mr Baker came into a restaurant, sat a table and wanted to drink. Just then, an old man came up to him and said, “How do you do, sir?” “How do you do?” Mr Baker asked the old man to sit next to him. “Could you drink something with me?” “Thank you,” said the old man. “Have you been here before?” “No, I haven’t.” “You look lonely, don’t you?” said the old man. “Let’s have a bet, shall we?”

It interested Mr Baker. “But what shall we bet on?” “I can bite(咬) my left eyeball,” said the old man. “I can bet you five dollars.”

Mr Baker didn’t believe and put $5 on the table.

The old man took out his glass eyeball, put it into his mouth and bite it. Mr Baker had to give his money.

“It doesn’t matter, young man,” the old man said, “I’ll give you a chance to win the money back… I can also bite my right eye. I’ll bet you $10.”

“I’m sure he’s able to see. And I must win his money.” He thought. So he took out ten dollars from his wallet.

But he was very surprised: the old man took out his false teeth and bit his right eye with it. Then he put the money into his pocket and went away quickly.

     A grown—up person has ten or eleven pints(品脫) of blood inside his or her body. We can lose a pint of blood without feeling anything, but if we lose too much blood, we feel weak and cold. Our faces become pale. We may die. This is what often happens when somebody is hurt in an accident, or a soldier is hurt in a war. Many people used to die in this way. But today they can be taken to a hospital and given more blood. Almost at once they feel better. Their faces are no longer pale. They can’t die.

     Where does this blood come from? People who are healthy may donate(捐贈(zèng)) blood to a blood bank so that it can be used to save people’s lives. When they go to donate blood, a special kind of needle(針) is put into the arm. It does not hurt. The blood runs through the needle and through a rubber tube into a bottle or a bag. A pint of blood is taken this way. The person who has given blood drinks a cup of tea or coffee and rests for a few minutes. Then he feels quite well. And he may give his blood this way three months later.

     A person who gives blood feels happy, because he knows that his blood will be used to save someone’s life. Perhaps one day he himself will need blood.

     When you are older, you may give blood, too. But you can’t do this until you are eighteen.
