[范文]

As is depicted in the picture, there are two windmills that are driven smoothly by the wind. As wind can be utilized as drive for windmill, this picture implies that challenge can also be turned into impetus if treated properly.

In real life being brave and confident enough to face up with challenge makes a sharp difference. The real world is full of stories of challenges. An example is found in Beijing’s host of the B00H Olympics. It is so said because the previous games in Sydney have been credited as " the best one in history ". To surpass that, we feel pressure coming from all sides such as money, experiences, expertise, and the host’s sports power. If we can collect all our resources available for holding the games, this challenge might be as well converted into impetus. In that way, people will be cheered up and dare to attempt all that is thought to be impossible. The truth here is, if we don’t have the goals, the whole preparation work will collapse. Thus, challenge will become an unbearable burden over our shoulders.

It is evident now that there is only one way out of challenge. We have to build up our muscles and live up to any seemingly insurmountable requirement. If we know the secret of winning over challenge is to take the role of the challenger, we’ll soon be strong players.

     The growing popularity of digital reading has encouraged best-selling young Chinese author Han Han to

release (发表) his new novel on the Internet.

     Ta De Guo (His Country), of which Han Han has finished only one tenth so far, will be available for paid

reading from December 1st on Qidian.com, the online library has announced.

     Han Han will update the story every day and finish the book before the end of the year. A printed edition

will only be produced after all of the content goes online, sources said.

     To read the entire book, readers will have to pay eight yuan, or 0.08 yuan per 1,000 words. This is almost

four times the price of an average writer on Qidian.com.

     Lu Jinbo, a well-known publisher, estimated that a popular writer like Han Han is likely to attract 20 million

subscribers. That means this high-school-dropout-turned popular author could bring in 160 million yuan, nearly

40 times as much as he earned in copyright royalties (版税) last year.

     On the 2007 list of Chinese millionaire writers, Han Han ranked 13th with 3.8 million yuan. The richest, Guo

Jingming, earned 11 million yuan.

     Statistics from China Internet Network Information Center show that there are at least 253 million Internet

users in China. Such a large-scale Internet population has developed a prosperous industry for online novel

writing. Among the many success stories is Zhang Muye, an office worker whose fantasy novel Ghost Blows

out the Light made him the 19th wealthiest author in 2007.

     Besides the potential to gain a large readership base, the Internet writers are being recognized professionally.
