Napa Valley is widely considered one of the top wine regions in California, and all of the United States, with a history dating back to the nineteenth century. The combination of Mediterranean climate, geography and geology of the valley are conducive to growing quality wine grapes. John Patchett established the valley's first commercial vineyard in 1858. In 1861 Charles Krug established Napa Valley's first commercial winery in St. Helena. Viticulture in Napa suffered several setbacks in the late 1800s and early 1900s, including an outbreak of the vine disease phylloxera, the legal institution of Prohibition, and the Great Depression. The wine industry in Napa Valley recovered, and helped by the results of the Paris Wine Tasting of 1976, came to be seen as capable of producing world-class wine. Almost 4.7 million people visit Napa Valley each year, making it the second most popular tourist destination in California.

Hero
There is a hero. His name is Cong Fei. He was a singer. I knew him from a TV program. His story is a shining example to us all. We should learn from him.
Cong Fei is his pseudonym. His true name is Zhang Chong. His hometown is Liaoning Province. He was a singer in Guangdong Province. He was very famous in Guangdong Province. When he was a child, his family was very poor. When he was in the second grade of junior middle school, he discontinue his studing. He was a very assiduous child. He liked singing and he sang very good. He studied hard at home. Fortunately, he entered the Shenyang Conservatory. He studied hard in the university. After he graduated, he went to Guangzhou. He became a good singer in Guangzhou. He earned a lot of money. Then he began to donate money to the poor students. He endowed many poor students. The poor students called him “Father”. He endowed 183 poor students for 11 years. Add up to more than 30 million. He worked hard. He got stomach cancer. He died after a few months . He leaved us. A lot of people concerned him. Many people were sad for him. We call him Kind-hearted Citizen.
He set a good example to us. We should learn from him. He is my hero in my heart. When you feel like hope is gone, look inside you and be strong. And you will finally see the truth.

6am
When I stay home , I usually get up at 8 or 9 am. I am usually sleeping at 6 am. I may be dreaming . But my father and mother already get up . They have prepared to send goods to somebody.
My father and mother sell hardware . My father takes the hardware from the hardwareman and send them to different hardware store in different city . They have to catch the early bus or train . So my father and mother get up very early evey day. If both father and mother send goods , I will hear indistinctly “We are going , take care of yourself .” That work is very hard . Something is big and heavy . Sometimes my father and mother will be injured . They are very hardworking .
My father and mother work hard everyday . When I am not awke , my father and mother already begin to work. My father and mother are very hardworking. I love them.
