It is said that almost 1,000,000 people are selling over 2,000,000 second-hand things, from clothing and books to other products on Xianyu every day. Buying second-hand things is really becoming more and more popular these days.
Rich people buy more things than they really need. To live a simple life, some people start to sell second-hand things at a low price. Most shoppers are interested in the good prices and the fact that buying second-hand things is good for the environment (环境). Some people have different ideas. Here are three people’s words.
Zhang Wei, a book lover, often uses Xianyu to buy second-hand books. He looks for the books he likes and puts them to his shopping car, just like on any other shopping site.

Buying old books can bring readers together. Zhao Lin, a student, once found a note in a second-hand book she bought. “Its owner (主人) shared her thoughts and hoped I would enjoy the book. It was so heart-warming.” Zhao said, “It is a great thing to me and I have got much from the words on it. I think it’s more important than a new book.”
Chen Jie, a student in Shanghai, likes buying second-hand books. When it comes to the reason, he said, “Second-hand things have memories. Having an old thing brings us back to the days in the past. It doesn’t matter how much money we spend. We just find the right thing. I like this feeling behind the thing.”

At first, he tried to kill the fisherman, but the fisherman said that he wasn’t sure the genie could stay inside the little bottle because he was so much bigger than it was. The genie went back inside to prove (证明) it. The fisherman said he would only let the genie out again if the genie helped him. The genie answered him he must do so.
The genie came out again and took the fisherman to a lake where there were many special fish. The fisherman got four of these fish and took them to the king. The fish were special because they could talk and answer any question that people wanted to know. The king was excited and paid the fisherman a lot of money for the fish.

Flying freely in the sky like birds is always people’s dream that never dies. Then how did we make it come true There are three break-through (突破性的) flight tools: the balloon, the airship, and the airplane.
The first breakthrough was the balloon. In September, 1783, the hot balloon took its first passengers (乘客)—a sheep, a cock and a duck to 500 meters high. Then in October, a Frenchman Jean Frank became the first person. He flew in the balloon over 20 meters from the ground for 4 minutes and 15 seconds.
Though balloons gave a taste of flight, they are up to the wind much. The GZ airship, made in 1929, was 237 meters long and the highest speed of 193 km/h. It flew over many countries in 22 days. This success made people around the world interested in the GZ, so it was called the golden age of airships. However, bad accidents and explosions (爆炸) made the airship finally be away from people’s life in 1930s.
On December 17, 1903, the Wright Brothers flew Flyer One for the first time and it stayed in the air for 12 seconds and flew more than 30 meters. This started a new age of aviation (航空). Then Airplanes quickly became faster, more reliable (稳定), and can take more passengers. In 1947, they became even faster than sound. Today, the fastest is close to ten times the speed of sound.
The future of flying is full of changes and We will fly further. As an American space expert Robert said, it is hard to say what is impossible, because the dream of yesterday can become the hope of today, or the reality of tomorrow.
The Balloon Age Facts: 3 animals in the balloon ____2____ 500m high. The Frenchman took it and flew over 4 mins and 15s. Date: in 1783 The Airplane Age Facts: Wright Brothers flew Flyer One stayed in the air for 12s on December 17, 1903. Influence (影响): Flyer One started the new age, though it is ___5_____ fast or reliable ___5_____ the airplanes now.
____1____ flying freely in the sky never goes away
The Airship Age The GZ airship flew over many countries ____3____ in 22 days and brought a golden age. The airships finally be away from people’s life ___4_____ bad accidents and explosions. Date: in 1929 The Future of the Aviation Maybe everything is possible.

Dear Mom and Dad,
I’m having a great time at Shishi Lianhe Middle School as an exchange student. There are many interesting activities here. For example, we do martial arts exercises fives times a week. I think it’s really fun. And we also have calligraphy classes once a week, which can help me calm down.
I have a best friend here. His name is Li Ming. I am funnier than him in character. But he gets up earlier than me every day. And we are all hard-working. In short, I’m glad to be friends with him.
I’m enjoying my campus life here very much.
Yours,
Alice
