　　For the rest of the week, Joe practiced kicking football hard, concentrating on his each kicking. Sometimes Joe hit the ball straight. Sometimes it went wide again. But it seemed that the more he believed he could do it, the easier it was.

　　“I’m not a joke now,” thought Joe. “Not a joke at all!” But a practice wasn’t like a real match and his boots were still not giving him enough power.

　　He should have told his mum and dad about it straight away but, of course, he didn’t. He was always shy to ask for things.

　　Finally, late on the night before the match, he could hold himself back no longer.

　　“Dad, I haven’t got any proper football boots …” he said.

　　“Ah,” said Dad, “I might be able to help you there.”

　　At the words, Joe was excited. New boots! He thought. “He’s got me some new boots! He must have got me them for Christmas,” thought Joe, “But now that I’m in an important match, he’s giving them to me early. Wonderful!”

　　Dad went upstairs. Joe excitedly tried to watch the football preview on TV. He wasn’t playing for Manchester United or Liverpool, of course, but he was part of it all now; part of the thrill. His legs twitched with every kick on the screen. His head shook with every centre. And all the time, his mind was racing ahead to his own great game the next morning, in his super new boots.

　　It was ages before his dad came downstairs again. He put a large pair of shiny black boots in front of Joe.

　　As he stared at them, the boy felt as if someone had poured ice into his brain. The boots were awful!

　　“Good, eh?” said his dad.

　　Joe found it hard to speak. He had never seen anything like them before.

　　They weren’t low-cut, soft or…. They had big, hard square toes, great big long studs(鞋釘) and they were high at the ankle. They were his dad’s old rugby boots, polished up.

　　Joe was filled with disappointment. They had been good boots, quality boots. And they were his size. Joe’s feet were enormous for his age. But he could imagine what everyone at school would say.

　　“ …,” he finally gasped, “ should be exactly my size.”

　　“At least I won’t slip,” he thought, “the studs are like sharks’ teeth!” Then he couldn’t help thinking about those in Ashton’s windows, which he had been longing to get.

　　That night, he went to bed early but he didn’t sleep much because he was so terrified of being late. He woke at 1.17, 2.49, 3.37, 3.43, 4.55. The numbers jumped off the big face of his digital clock. Then 10.40!

　　Ahhh!!!

　　He jumped out of bed. He seized the clock. 6.03! 10.40 had been only a dream. At eight, breakfast time, it was raining like mad.

　　“Might get called off, Joe,” suggested his mum.

　　“Never, Mother. …will not be like cricket,” said his dad. “Will take a lot to stop football.”

　　Joe checked everything for the tenth time. He put his boots at the very bottom of his large bag, well out of sight. He had decided to put them on when nearly everyone had left the changing room. Then his classmates wouldn’t make fun of him. Soon, it was time to set out.

　　“Good luck!” said his mum, giving him a kiss.

　　His dad had his coat on, ready for his morning deliveries. “Want a lift to school?” he said. “I hope to get down to watch you when I’ve done the trip to Eccles.”

　　“Okay,” said Joe.

　　As Dad’s van carried him down the hill to school, Joe was thinking about the boots. If only … but no, he had to stop that kind of thinking. It doesn’t matter about the boots, he told himself.

　　The age of innocence is a novel by Edith Wharton, which won the 1921 Pulitzer Prize. The story is set in upper-class New York City in the 1870s.

　　In 1920, The Age of Innocence was published twice; first in four parts, July-October, in the Pictorial Review magazine, and then by D.Appleton & Company as a book in New York and in London.

　　The book was warmly received; the Times Book Review considered it “a brilliant panorama(全景) of New York’s 45 years ago. The novel is in demand mostly at public libraries and a best seller in the bookstores. ” In 1998, the Modern Library ranked The Age of Innocence 58th on its list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century.

　　The Time Machine

　　The Time Machine is a science fiction novella By H.G.Wells, published in 1895 for the first time and later adapted into at least two feature films of the same name, as well as two televisions versions, and a large number of comic book adaptations. It indirectly inspired many more works of fiction in many media. This 32,000-word story is generally credited with the popularization of the concept of time travel using a vehicle that allows an operator to travel purposefully and selectively. The term “time machine”, coined by Wells, is now universally used to refer to such a vehicle. Wells also introduced the idea of time being the “fourth dimension”, as well as an early example of the Dying Earth subgenre.

　　The Great Gatsby

　　The Great Gatsby is a novel by the American author F.Scott Fitzgerald. First published in 1925, it is set on Long Island’s North Shore and in New York City from spring to autumn of 1922.

　　The novel takes place following the First World War. American society enjoyed prosperity during the “roaring” 1920s as the economy grew very quickly. At the same time, Prohibition, the ban on the sale and manufacture of alcohol as mandated(批準(zhǔn)) by the Eighteenth Amendment, made millionaires out of bootleggers.

After its republishing in 1945 and 1953, it quickly found a wide readership and is today widely regarded as a paragon(模范) of the Great American Novel, and a literary classic. The Great Gatsby has become a standard text in high school and university courses on American literature in countries around the world and is ranked second in the Modern Library’s list of the 100 Best Novels of the 20th Century.

　　Five Weeks in a Balloon

　　Five Weeks in a Balloon, or, Journeys and Discoveries in Africa by Three Englishmen, is an adventure novel by Jules Verne (1828-1905), French novelist.

　　It is the first Verne novel in which he perfected the “ingredients” of his later work, skillfully mixing a plot full of adventure and twists that hold the reader’s interest with passages of technical, geographic, and historic description. The book gives readers a glimpse of the exploration of Africa, which was still not completely known to Europeans of the time, with explorers travelling all over the continent in search of its secrets.

　　Public interest in fanciful tales of African exploration was at its height, and book was an instant hit; it made Verne financially independent and got him a contract with Jules Hetzel’s publishing house, which put out several dozen more works of his for over forty years afterward.

　　How to Choose Your Courses and Universities?

　　Every year, before the College Entrance Examination, senior school graduates have to face the problem of choosing their courses and universities. Our school had a survey on it recently.

　　Senior middle school graduating students of our school have different opinions on how to choose their courses and universities. The survey shows that 45% of the students think they should choose their courses and universities according to their interests, for interest is the mother of success, and it will be a miserable thing for students to have to spend most of their time studying what they have no interest in.

　　Most of the students(around 55%), however, insist that main consideration should be given to the needs of our society, for, they argue, not everyone can find the job they like best. Besides, interest is not something unchangeable. And they believe their interests can be developed and changed.

　　I think it is truly difficult for us students to make a choice on how to our courses and universities. But I believe the best way is to refers to the parents and teacher's opinion. At the same time We’d better consider our social development needs.
