（A）
　　I felt very sad not to be able to get to ticket for the film "Titanic" last Friday. I learned in the newspaper that tickets could be bought at the cinema box office in Richland Hills any day between 10：00 and 4：00. Since I work from 9：00 to 5：30, the only time I could go to the cinema was during my 45 minute lunchtime. It is a pity that the cinema is on other side of the town and the bus service between my office and Richland Hills is not very good. But if you are lucky, you can make the round trip in 45 minutes.
　　Last Monday, I stood at the bus stop for fifteen minutes waiting for a bus. By the time I saw one come round the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip, so I had to go back to the office. The same thing happened on Tuesday, and again on Wednesday. On Thursday my 1uck changed. I got on a bus right away and arrived at the cinema in twenty minutes. But when I got there, I found a 1ong line of people at the box office. I heard one man said he had been waiting in line for over an hour. I found that I would not have enough time to wait in line. I caught the next bus and went back across the town.
　　By Friday I understand my only hope was to make the trip by car. It was expensive, but I felt it would be worth it to see the film. The trip by car only took 10 minutes, but it felt like an hour to me. When I reached the cinema, I was delighted to see that nobody was waiting in line. But I quickly found out that it was because they had already sold out the tickets.

　　Happiness is for everyone. You don't need to care about those people who have beautiful housed with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.
　　In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your like and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations(祝贺) to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.
　　Happiness is not the same as money. It is a felling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can't be bought with money.
　　When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving (旋转的) door. When it closes, it also peons. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.

　　Who will follow Yao Ming and became the next Chinese person to play in the NBA? Time Magazine says Yi Jianlian, a 2.1-metre tall teenager from Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, might be the one.
　　Fifteen-year old Yi is a good player and has the right size. He moves quickly. He plays for Guangdong Tigers Club team. He played in the Chinese Basketball Association-the CBA(中国篮球协会) last season and was the group's new player of the year. Yi could be a key player at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
　　"It's my dream to play in the Olympics," Yi said. "It would be a great honour to play in the Olympics for the country, I hope I will get a chance."
　　Yi was 12 when he first picked up a basketball. At first his parents were against his playing basketball in a sports school. But they were changed by the fact that Yi has everything for a good player such as speed and size. Yi's basketball life almost ended before it began. When he first went to training, he almost gave up halfway through.
　　"I wanted to give up," Yi said. “I had never lived away from home before." But he decided to make the best of a difficult situation(处境).
　　His goal is to join Yao in the NBA. "We all look up to him, and I hope I can one day in the NBA, too," said Yi. "I need to learn and practice and stay cool before fame(名声)."
