Classic books never go out of fashion. The book The Outsiders first came out in 1967. Although the book is old, it is still worth reading. It is written by US writer S.E.Hinton.

The book tells the story of a 14-year-old boy called Ponyboy Curtis. He struggles with difficult issues of right and wrong in a society where he is an outsider. The story took place in Oklahoma, US, in 1965.

In the book, the children are divided into two groups. One includes Curtis and Greasers. It is mostly made up of poor kids. They have longer hair and often smoke at a young age. The other group is called the Socs, which is made up of rich children. They wear expensive clothes and drive high-tech cars. Those two groups do not get along well. The book only shows us two weeks of the boys' life.

I was touched by the friendship among the boys. When any of them has a problem, the others will help. Although they are not well educated(教育), they are kind and brave. For example, when Johnny was hurt and in hospital, his friends visited him almost every day. They brought him food and told him interesting stories. I always dream of having a strong friendship like this.

This book shows the good personalities(品质) in those ordinary people. I advise that teenagers read this book and I hope they can enjoy it.

Fifty-five years ago Barbie Millicent Roberts first came out in the world of toys. Since then, Barbie doll, as everyone called her, has become the most famous toy doll in history. Her parent, the Mattel Company, said that 90% of all American girls between 3 and 10 have at least one Barbie at home.

However, Barbie is facing some trouble at present, There are many similar (相似的) dolls on the market in competition with her. Another doll named Bratz, for example, came to life fifteen years ago. She looks more like today’s pop stars with heavy makeup (浓妆) and miniskirts.

In January 2009, Mattel opened its first Barbie store in Shanghai, where girls can shop, eat, drink or even become fashion designers for their own Barbies.

Mattel is planning big celebrations for Barbie’s 55th birthday. Fashion designers from all over the world will make new dresses for Barbie. How long will Barbie stay popular in the world of toy dolls? It is hard to say, but 55 is surely not the age to retire (退休).

One weekend morning, Einstein held a fishing rod and was about to fish with those kids, his father stopped him and said to him calmly,” Einstein, you’re so fond of playing all day that you failed in the examination. I’m so worried about your future with your mother.”

“What are you worrying about? Jack and Robert also failed, but don’t they go fishing as usual?”

“My boy, you can’t think so,” Looking at Einstein, his father said lovingly, “There goes a story in our hometown. I hope you can listen to it carefully.”

“There were two cats playing on the roof. Accidentally, a cat fell into the chimney holding another one When the two cats climbed out of the chimney, a cat’s face was polluted with the soo（烟灰) while the other’s face was clean. Seeing the soot-faced cat, the clean cat thought its face was dirty and ugly, so it quickly ran to the riverside and washed its face. the soot-faced cat saw the clean-faced cat, thinking its face was also clean, so it wandered（闲逛）in the street without washing its face.”

“Einstein, no one can be your mirror. Only you are your own mirror. Taking other people to be your mirror, even a genius may become a fool.”

Hearing this, Einstein was ashamed and lay down his fishing rod and returned to his small room. Since then, Einstein often took himself as a mirror to check, and reminding himself. I was special, so I needn’t be as ordinary as others. This was why Einstein succeeded.

Different ways and wishes will produce different attitudes（态度）towards life. You can consult the other people’s attitudes to decide your own, but you can never follow others to do so.
