Colin Boyle was born in 1973 near Dublin, Ireland. While he was ill in hospital at age 10, his uncle gave him an old violin. He loved it right away. After he left the hospital, he practiced at his school every day after class.
One day in 1987, John Leaf, the manager (经纪人) of several successful musicians, came to Colin’s school. He was having a meeting with the headmaster when he heard Colin practicing. After the meeting, he found Colin and invited him to appear in one of the concerts he was organizing that year. Colin, however, refused Leaf’s invitation because just then he was preparing for some important school exams. Years later, Colin made it to college to study engineering. At college he met Kim O’Malley, who was studying chemistry (化学). Kim was also good at music. Being students, they didn’t have much money and they usually worked in a restaurant on weekends.

Dear Miss Hooper,
I’m writing to thank you for your help this year. There were lots of subjects (主题) in class, but you made sure that I could understand every one. To tell the truth, you’re the best teacher I’ve met. You explain things so clearly, and are also so kind. I really enjoyed every minute of your class.
There were so many best parts this year. Whatever the subject, you made it fun and interesting to everyone. All of your students found learning new things so easy because of you. I really believe you have a great teaching skill. You should be very proud (自豪的) of the way that you help children learn. It is because of you that I’ve decided to become a teacher when I grow up.
I have mixed feelings about school next year. I’m sad that you won’t be my teacher anymore. However, I’m happy that other children will get to share your knowledge (学问). I’m sure that they’ll thank you for your good work.
I didn’t enjoy school much before this year. I was new to the school this year. At my old school, I found learning quite difficult. The last nine months have changed all of that. I’m now confident (自信的) and looking forward to the next school year.
Thank you once again for all of your help. You are really a great teacher and you’ve helped me greatly. I hope that we can share the same classroom again one day.
Yours,
Jacob Maclean

Most people think sleepwalkers (梦游者) walking around at night. But in fact, not all sleepwalkers walk. Some only sit up or get out of bed or act like how they often do during the day when they are sleeping! But most sleep walkers do get up and go around for a few seconds or half an hour.
Sleepwalkers' eyes are open, but they don't see the same way as they do during the day, and they often think they are in different rooms of the house or different places. Sleepwalkers usually go back to bed themselves and they don't remember it in the morning.
Scientists say that sleepwalking may sometimes happen when a person is sick, has a fever, is not getting enough sleep, or he has much stress.
There's no medicine for sleepwalking, but here are some ideas from doctors to help sleepwalkers:
Relax at bedtime by listening to quiet music.
Go to bed at the same time every day.
Keep everything quiet when you are trying to sleep.
Don't drink a lot in the evening and be sure you go to the washroom before going to bed.
