Passage 1
Every January we celebrate the life of a great man, Martin Luther King who fought for civil rights. He believed that all Americans should be treated fairly, no matter what their skin colors were.
Dr. King was born in 1929 in Atlanta. Because he was black, he could not go to the same schools as white children. Black Americans also had to use separate restrooms, restaurants, theaters and swimming pools in some states.
Dr. King thought this was wrong. He was a Christian minister(牧师) who worked for equal rights for black people. He helped to organize protests to change those unfair laws. It was a hard fight. Dr. King was arrested(逮捕) many times. But more and more Americans grew to understand that it was wrong to treat black people differently from white people.
In 1963, Dr. King led many people in a march to Washington
D.C. where there he gave his famous speech “I Have a Dream”. He said people should be judged by their hearts, not by their skin colors. His efforts helped to bring about new laws to create equal rights fo
r all Americans.
The third Monday of January is a holiday to celebrate the life of Martin Luther King. We should respect his courage in working to improve the lives of so many people.

Passage 2
Alexander Grham Bell was born in Scotland in 1847. His family ca lled him Aleck for short. Aleck’s father was a teacher who helped de af people learn to speak. Aleck’s mother lost her hearing as she
grew older. She used a hearing aid to help her hear. Mrs. Bell was an artist and piano player. Like his mother, Aleck learned to play the piano. Aleck became fascinated by sound. He even studied his pet dog’s barking. This helped him learn how sounds are made. When he was a teenager, Aleck and his brother built a machine. It was shaped like a bead. They could make the machine say simple words like mama.
When Bell was older, he got a job at a school in Boston. Like his father, he taught the deaf how to speak. He was a great teacher, but he still wanted to invent things. In Boston, he met a woman named Hubbard Mabel who was deaf. Later Mabel and Bell got married and had children. He stopped teaching so that he could work on his inventions.
