— John can. He has ever seen it.

    People say that George Washington, the first president of the United States, never told a lie. But it seems that the president was not without faults.

    A New York library recently found that Washington borrowed two books from the library in 1789. He would have to pay the library 300,000 dollars for being 220 years late.

    On October 5, 1789, when the first president borrowed the books form the New York Society Library, he didn't sign his name in the borrower's book. He just wrote "president" to show who had taken them out.

    The two books should have been brought back a month later but were never returned. Workers at the library realized the books were missing.

    The New York Society Library doesn't expect anyone to pay the fine. But it hopes that someone will return the books.

    Life is not easy, but I'd like to say, "When anything happens, believe in yourself."

    When I was young, I was 1  shy that I couldn't talk to anyone. My classmates often 2 me. I was sad but could do nothing. Later, something happened. It changed my life. It was an English speech contest. It meant I had to 3 in front of all the teachers and students in my school!

    "Come on, Dear. Believe in yourself. You are sure to 4  ." Then, my mother helped me 5 the topic—Believe in yourself. I practiced very hard. 6 my mother's great love, I won the first prize in the contest. I could 7 believe my ears. I heard the 8 from the teachers and students. "Congratulations!", my mother said to me 9.

    Since then, everything has changed for  10 . When I do anything, I try to tell myself to have confidence(自信).

He walk home.

He  work hard.
