While the hippopotamus may look like a very gentle animal, it is actually quite dangerous. In fact, the hippo has killed more people than any other wild animal in the world! Their teeth are very sharp and can grow up to 125 centimeters long. Still most people need not worry since hippos are vegetarians and only attack when they are threatened.The hippopotamus spends most of the day sleeping in the mud. During the night it wades in the water looking for food. The hippo is very comfortable in lakes and rivers and can actually spend up to 15 minutes under water. Recent research suggests the hippo is more closely related to the whale than to land animals such as the elephant. Baby hippos are even born in the water and so learn to swim immediately. It's no wonder the word hippopotamus actually means "river horse."

CRISTMAS EVE

Last Wednesday is Christmas Eve, my three roommates and I bought pizza and some bottles of coke to make a party. All our classmates who live another room came to9 406 and have fun with us. We played games, chatted, and make new wish for our new year.
But as we played Wii, my roommate saw a article in bbs which called us so noisy that they could not sleep. We felt sorry for them so we no longer play Wii and go to bed. In this lesson I have known that “As we play fun, we should stand in other shoes.” If we cannot stand in other shoes, we will find some nonessential arguments for us.

NOMO&TASO

Hideo Nomo is a Japanese former right-handed pitcher in Nippon Professional Baseball and Major League Baseball. He achieved early success in Japan, where he played with the Kintetsu Buffaloes from 1990 to 1994. He then exploited a loophole to free himself from his Japanese contract and became the first Japanese-born Japanese major leaguer to permanently relocate to Major League Baseball in the United States. His successful debut with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1995 is often credited with paving the road for the subsequent "wave" of Japanese players entering Major League Baseball.
Nomo pitched over the span of 13 seasons in the American major leagues with 8 different teams, before retiring in 2008. He won the Rookie of the Year Award in 1995. He twice led the league in strikeouts and also threw two no-hitters
His career likes Tsao, he make many Japanese player to go to MLB. And both of they are have some hurt of their arm. But Tsao is younger than Nomo, he is only 28. I deeply believe Taso will find his new hope in Taiwan and find his proud which he loses.

Tsao~~

Chin-hui Tsao is a Major League Baseball pitcher who is currently a free agent. He is the second major league player of Taiwanese origin, and like the first, Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Chin-Feng Chen, he is part Taiwanese aborigine .
Tsao pitched for his country in five major international competitions, including the Junior World Championships (1996-1997, 1999), the 1999 Asia Cup and the 2004 Summer Olympics. He made two appearances at the Olympics, going 0-1 with a 1.93 ERA and one save. At the 1999 Asia Cup, he dominated: making three appearances (11 innings, 3 hits, 0 runs, 1 walk, 19 strikeouts), fanning 15 batters in his one start against China.
Tsao has one of Taiwan's best pitching arms. In the 2004 Olympics at Athens, he was clocked at 162km/h (101mph) at the park and 159km/h (99mph) on the TV gun.
But after 2006 Tsao hurt his arm, it let him cannot pitch his super fastball as before. Now he came back to Taiwan, help him can recover soon. And can perform well in Taiwan.

Winter is coming, it is hard to wake up from your warming bed. Recently Japanese invent a new commodity(a clock) which can let people get up in the warming morning.

Just like sun this new invention can wake you up by its light. You can control it time and choose when it wakes you up.

}
in computer science, we learn a computer langue which named c++. It is because that we are major in computer science information engineering, it is the most important subject to us.
When I first know this program langue, I was a senior higt school student. I did not know I may write it every day after three years. The experience for writing turbo c (name of another program langue) made me know that writing c++ needs logical thincking, and your brain should very clear. If you don't have this special characteristic, I believe being a good programer will hard for you. That is because programer should always ponder in a short time. so now I think I should practice my ability in logical thinking. After I master in program langue, I deeply believe I will be a good computer engineer in the futrue.

Passing Fancy - KG’s Triple Double Makes an Impression on Mates

Seated and relaxed, Garnett took questions about his impressive preseason triple-double, which he said he wasn't even aware of until reporters mentioned it. Garnett poured in 21 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists in 32 minutes of play as the Celtics pulled away from the Cleveland Cavaliers for a 114-89 win at the Garden Friday night.
KG says” he doesn't count stats while he's on the floor, and it's hard to believe he'd have time anyway”. And early in the fourth quarter, he apparently decided it was time to take over on the offensive end, scoring eight points in the first five minutes of the final stanza to help put the game out of reach.
"I take a lot of pride in my passing," Garnett said. "I take a lot of pride in my IQ in basketball. It's something I've developed."
Paul Pierce said Garnett's the best passing big man he's played with, while Ray Aellon didn't think it was a crazy notion that Garnett could get a triple-double every night.

Essay

When it comes to our dormitory, its advantages come to my mind. There many advantages in dormitory. For example, we can discuss our homework together, when I feel sad, my roommate can make me happy, and can save our time to go to school (that is because my home is far from our school)
But I think the best advantage is that I can make many friends. When the first day I stay in CGU, I have no friends. But after I stay in dormitory, I get new friends – my roommates, all of them are kind and interesting. We exchanged our senior high school’s experience and shared our idea for our new school life. And I knew some new friends which stayed in dormitory. So I believe that live in dormitory can let me make many friends.
In sum, I think every one needs help. At home, our parents might take good care of us. But when we live outside, we should take care of ourselves. So I think good friends play important roles in our life. Friends can help us when we have some problems, and can share their reflection in many things. I can learn many things from them. If I rent house outside, nobody can help me. So I think the best advantage in living in dormitory is this.
