    Family members, friends and fans are mourning the death of the great basketball player Kobe Bryant who was killed in a helicopter crash on January 27th, 2020 in Calabasas, California. "I can't believe it," one Kobe fan said. Calabasas is about 30 miles west of Los Angeles where Bryant spent his professional career helping the L. A. Lakers (湖人队) win five championships.

    Kobe Bryant was born on August 23, 1978, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the USA. He first started turning heads on the basketball court when he was in middle school. His talents dominated (掌控) the game so much that high schools from all over the Philadelphia area watched him grow up. The almost six-foot tall seventh grader definitely had the genes for the game, as his dad was former NBA forward, Joe Bryant. Kobe developed his basketball skills under the watchful eyes of his father. He worked daily on his games, watching videos, playing in the playgrounds and listening to his father.

    He went on to finish his high school career as the all-time leading point scorer in Pennsylvania history with a total of 2, 883 points. And this made him the 13th overall choice by the Charlotte Hornets (黄蜂队) in the 1996 NBA draft (选秀). But he was traded to the L. A. Lakers at once, where his NBA career started and ended. Between 1996 and 2016, Kobe scored 33, 643 points in his career. That puts him fourth in NBA history according to ESPN. Kobe Bryant is one of the NBA's best scorers. Breakthrough, shooting, free throws, three-pointers all of these he can do well, almost no offensive blind area; single-game 81 points of personal record will forcefully prove this point. On April 14, 2016, Kobe Bryant has officially announced the ending of his professional career in NBA.

    During his career, Kobe was always the symbol of being hard-working. He once said he knew what Los Angeles was like at 4：00 a. m. because his training started at that time every day. "I can accept failure but I can't accept not trying." Basketball fan, all over the world named this spirit as Black Mamba Spirit.

    I went to England last year. I enjoyed my stay, and I noticed something interesting with the English way of life.

    For example, you must say Mr or Mrs when you meet someone for the first time. When you get to know each other better or when they ask you to, you can just use their first names.

    One day, we visited some friends and had afternoon tea together. Afternoon tea is not just a drink but a light meal at around 4 pm. We ate sandwiches and a large fruit cake. In England, you usually drink tea with milk. So I tried to drink tea with milk too.

    Fish and chips is traditional food in England. You can buy it and eat it in special fish and to chip shops on the high street, or you can take it away and eat it with your fingers! It is delicious!

    At the bus stop, you must not push your way onto the bus. You need to stand in a line and wait your turn. Sometimes people are slow to get on the bus. Once I noticed a gentleman touch a young man on the shoulder, smile politely and say. "Excuse me! Are you waiting for this bus?" He was really polite.

    The Silk Road is the name of different roads that long ago connected Europe, Africa and Asia. People reached these different places along these roads. Scientists believe people began to travel the Silk Road about 3, 000 years ago. By the time the Chinese silk trade became important in the world. The Silk Road covered almost 0, 500 kilometers. It went from Rome to China. Which is from the West to the Far East.

    Merchants travelled along the Silk Road to carry silk, of course. They also carried and traded  other things like spices (香料) , cloth, jewels and gold.

    Along and around the Silk Road, there are many fascinating and mysterious stories. It is said that Roman soldiers who lost a war travelled through Central Asia. They decided to live somewhere near the ancient Chinese villages. Some of these Romans married local Chinese women and the story of the blond-haired, blue- eyed tribes (部落) of China was started.

    Some historians believe that the people of Kashmir were taken away from their country Israel. They were prisoners (俘虏) of war almost 2, 800 years ago, People say that these people travelled along the Silk Road. They kept their Jewish way of life for a long time.

    During its busiest period, the Silk Road allowed people from many different cultures and countries to meet each other and mix. The Silk Road allowed the sharing of valuable things and new ideas. It included people and trading goods from different areas. All these peoples travelled the Silk Road. And they shared goods, stories, languages, and cultures.

    In modern times, the old Silk Road routes (路线) are still used, but now they are crossed by trains instead of camels and horses. There is even a Silk Route Museum in Jiuquan in China. It has over 35. 000 objects from all along the Silk Road. In this way, China protects the history of many countries and peoples.

Here are some ways to improve one's leadership at work.

Learn from leaders that you admire. You can get encouragement from any leader that has left a great impression on you with the leadership.Choose the good qualities that you want to study, such as keeping their words, trusting others and courage.

As a leader, it is important to teach others what you know to help them grow in their jobs. If you spend time teaching others, you can enable them to have valuable skills and knowledge.

Build good teams. Many people want to work in or be part of a successful team.When you build it, you have to know the advantages and disadvantages of members, and other things.

Be a good listener. Good listening skills are important to a leader. With so much information distracting (分散) our attention today，it is easy to ignore(忽略) listening skills.Listening carefully can help people feel understood, appreciated and respected.

Praise others truly. Sometimes leaders forget the power and importance of praising team members，yet this simple behavior is encouraging.

    It may take a long time for some people to learn to speak English. However , by following these tips（实用的提示） you should be speaking English in no time.

    Tip I: Forget about having a large vocabulary. Only learn the words you will need most. For example, if you are traveling in an English-speaking country, make a list of all the possible sentences and questions that you would need to know, such as "Do you know where the nearest bathroom is? "and" I am lost. Can you help me?". Think about what sentences you would want a traveler to know if they came to your country and couldn't speak your language.

    Tip 2: Once you have a list of vocabulary that you think will be most useful to you, make sure you understand the meaning of each word and know how to use each word in a sentence. Try making lists with new words and sample sentences(例句). Ten new words is enough on each list. Then stick( 粘贴)the lists up all over your house where you can easily see them. Practice every day. Whenever you see a list, make sure you stop and read through it.

    Tip 3: Now pronounce these words and sentences properly. Try to learn pronunciation by listening to how English speakers pronounce words. Watch English TV shows, listen to English radio programs and try to talk with as many English speakers as you can, online or in person.

    I wish you the best of luck and I hope my tips are helpful!

    Florence Nightingale was named after her birthplace, Florence, Italy. When she was almost one year old, she returned with her family to England. Florence often helped her mother give out  food to the poor. As she grew older, she decided to become a nurse. Her family was shocked because nursing was not a good job at that time. But Florence kept on her decision. She studied books on medicine. Later, she visited hospitals in France, Germany and Ireland and learned everything she could.

    In 1854, Britain was at war with Russia. Florence went to the British hospital and she was shocked. The condition in the hospital was poor and bad. The hospital left men lying on the floor, and mice were everywhere. Many people died before receiving help.

    The doctors wouldn't listen to Florence because they didn't like the idea of women in hospitals — until one day 500 unexpected patients arrived. They soon realized that Florence could give a hand. Florence made changes. She made sure the patients were washed and their wounds were cared for. Every night she would check the patients with her lamp(灯).

    When she returned home after the war, people raised money for her. Many of the people she had nursed had given away money. Finally she set up the Nightingale Training School in London.

    After years of hard work, Florence Nightingale saw cleaner and more cheerful hospitals. Nursing became an honored（受尊敬的） job. All of this was because of the "lady with the lamp".
