Hawaii has always been a magic name to people who like traveling. People from all over the world dream of seeing the beautiful islands in the middle of the ocean. It’s always one of their dreams to watch the sun going down. The sun drops like a ball of bright fire into the sea, and it drops so quickly that you can even see it move.
About two thousand years ago, the first people went to Hawaii in a very small boat. They found the beautiful white sand beaches and the waving palm trees. But it was difficult for people to go to Hawaii at that time. And there were no big hotels like the ones today. Now people can get to Hawaii in different ways. More and more people go to Hawaii. So lots of nice big hotels have been built in recent years. However, the scenery(自然风景) in Hawaii hasn’t changed much. The white sand beaches and the waving palm trees are still there. People often have a peaceful time, taking a walk along the water in the morning. At night, they get together to hold parties, chatting and dancing. So if you’re thinking about relaxing yourself, Hawaii is surely the first place for you to choose.The sun in Hawaii drops too quickly for people to see it move.
In Hawaii, a large number of nice big hotels have been built in recent years.
The scenery in Hawaii is quite different from what it was many years ago.
According to the passage, it’s common for people to hold parties in Hawaii at night.
The passage mainly tells us the first people who came to Hawaii.

Perhaps the only test score that I remember is the 55 I got when I was in high school.
The test was the last one of the term. I remember waiting nervously as my teacher Mr. Right gave out our papers one after another. It was a rather difficult test. I heard my classmates groaning(叹息),and I could guess by the groans that the scores were not looking good.
Mr Right put my paper on my desk. There in big red numbers, circled to catch attention, was my score, 55! I let my head go down, and covered the score up quickly. A 55 is not something that you wanted your classmates to see. "The scores were not very good, none of you passed," Mr Right said. "The highest score in the class was a 55."
A 55. That's me! Suddenly I didn't feel so bad. I had the highest score. I was getting a little better.
I walked home alone that day with the low but high score. My mother knew that I had a big test that day and asked me as soon as I got home, "How did you do in your test? ""I got 55, "I said.A frown (皱眉) appeared on my mother's face I knew I had to explain at once. "But Mum, I had the highest score in the class, "I said proudly. "You failed, Dave! "my mother replied. "But it's the highest! "I insisted (坚持). "I don't care what scores others had, you failed. The important thing is what you do! "my mother said in a strong way.
For years, my mother was always in that way. She didn't care what others did, only cared what I did and that I did it excellently. My mother's words have made a big difference to my life.
