【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 s: My name is Isaac Evans. It39。s a very conventional name that doesn39。t stand out anywhere and you wouldn39。t think it had a story to it, but I believe that when you dig deep enough, every name has a story to it. “Evans” is a very mon Welsh name and I39。m not sure exactly what it means, only that there are many “Evans” in Wales and all around Britain. My grandfather left his farm in northern Wales to look for work when he was seventeen and he ended up in Manchester. There39。s a lot of industry there. He put up with a lot of hardship and suffering all his life to provide a good future for his family and I39。m grateful for that.“Isaac” is a fairly mon boy39。s name. You might think thatI got called “Isaac” because my parents couldn39。t think of anything else to call me! But you39。d be wrong. My parents are classical musicians and they named me after a famous violinist called Itzhak Perlman. They admired him because he was a great musician and he wasn39。t afraid to try out new ideas in his music. I don39。t play a musical instrument, but I am a painter and I often listen to classical music when I paint. When I listen to Itzhak Perlman39。s music, it inspires me.TapescriptGuo Jiangsheng: My name is Guo Jiangsheng. Jiangsheng means “born on the river”, and guess what? I was born on a boat! My family lives in a small mountain village. My parents needed to travel by boat to Chongqing where my mother was going to stay in a hospital for my birth. They were still on the boat outside Chongqing when suddenly my mother started to feel some pain. Then I was born. My parents got off the boat with their new baby and then went to the hospital to see if everything was OK. The doctors and nurses were very surprised and said my mother and I were both very healthy. After that my parents decided I should be called Jiangsheng!TapescriptAmazing But True!One day, a fisherman on the Arral Sea was sailing home after a day39。s work. It was raining and he didn39。t feel very happy. He hadn39。t had a very good day and hadn39。t caught very many fish. Suddenly, he heard a strange noise. A cow was flying towards his boat! The cow hit the boat and nearly destroyed it. When the fisherman got back home, people didn39。t believe his story. Then, some time later, the US Air Force showed that the fisherman had told the truth. While one of their transport planes was flying over the Arral Sea, a cow on the plane had gone mad and the pilot had thrown it out into the sea!Lesson 3 Life StoriesHelen KellerHelen Keller was a very special girl who needed a superb teacher.
