Jack Johnson is one of the most popular singer-song writers in the world.
Jack was born on May 18,1975 in Hawaii, America. Being the son of a famous surfer(冲浪者),
Jack naturally has an interest in surfing. Most of his life lessons were learned in the water. At the
age of 17, Jack entered the finals(决赛) of the Pineline Masters--the world’s most famous surfing
competition. Everyone thought Jack would become a professional surfer like his father. Unluckily,
one month later, he had a deadly accident while surfing and was seriously hurt.
Life is like a revolving door. When it closes, it also opens. Jack started to practice playing the
guitar and write songs when he was staying in hospital. At first, his father thought Jack only did
them for fun, but soon he was surprised at the great progress his son had made.When staying in the university, Jack didn’t stop practicing his guitar skills. He played the guitar
for school parties. He wrote songs and sang for his teachers and friends. They liked his songs. His
first music album(唱片集) Brushfire Fairytales came out in 2001. It was a great success. His
second album, On and On, was much like his first. They were filled with sweet, easy-going songs
that everybody liked listening to. Later Jack had lots of concerts in and out of America. He
became popular all over the world.
Jack had five albums by 2010 and more than 15 million CDs of them were sold. His music
doesn’t fall into any of the popular music styles like pop, R&B or hip-hop. It is more like folk
music, played with a guitar and beautiful voice. When listening to his songs, you feel like lying on
the beach enjoying the warm sunshine
Jack is a talent, though he himself says he is only a surfer who loves music. In his songs we
can find his secret of success: Whatever happens in our lives, we have to accept it and do the best
we can.

advertisement of sales among the major retailers from time to time. We may be 83 enough to
find different prices for the same thing in different shops.

perfect gift. Some of us don't like to go out in the cold 84 , and then, we can do online shopping.
The world of online shopping makes it possible for us to visit all the major retailers and some
specialty stores on the Internet. We can find exactly what we are looking for at the best possible
price without even having to leave the 85 . With traditional Christmas shopping, we will spend a

A television news story has led to the reunion twin sisters who were separated at birth 28

Their mother, an unmarried 21-year-old, was unable to take care of the twins and l_________
them at an orphanage(孤儿院).

something was missing. Nina says, “I felt l________ growing up but I didn’t know why.”
While Nina was doing some housework last week, something on a local news programme
caught her eye. It was Alicia being interviewed by a reporter. “I couldn’t believe it. It was like
looking at a mirror.” Nina couldn’t wait any longer. She contacted（联系）the TV station

had a lot of children, as I have now.”
The day before Christmas, the woman said to her children, “We won’t have much for
Christmas this year, so I am going to get only one gift for all of us and I am sure we will all be
glad to have it. Now I’ll go and get it.” She came back with a little girl who was eve poorer than
they, and who had no parents. “Here is our gift,” she said to her children.
“The children were very excited and happy to get such a gift. They welcomed the little girl,
and she grew up as their sister. I was that Christmas gift.”
