American female rapper MC Lyte defended Azalea in an interview, saying she should not be judged because of where she’s from. “Hip hop is universal, no color lines. ” MC Lyte said. Azalea herself is proud of her music. “I really want to be focused on what I’m doing, ” she said in an interview. “That’s really dangerous when you’re trying to figure out ways to entertain people and make them happy. I don’t want to be a part of that. ”

Carl lost his job. He tried to find another one but it was not easy. The poor fellow couldn’t pay his bills because he had so little money and he couldn’t ask anyone to lend him any.
Carl spent his days at home. He looked out of the window and watched his neighbour’s house. An old professor lived there alone. Strangely, he never talked to his neighbour. Carl could see into the professor’s house because he never drew the curtain. The room was full of antique furniture and vases. Carl thought “ Why haven’t I got an antique vase I could sell it for a lot of money. ”
Every day Carl saw the professor. He left at 10: 00 in the morning and came at
4: 00 pm. He had a dog. Carl often went to the fence and played with it or gave it a piece of meat.
One day Carl thought “ I will go into the professor’s house and steal a vase and will break the window and climb in. The dog is not a problem. ”
There was an old gun in the cellar. It had been his great grandfather’s favourite thing a long time before. Carl didn’t want to use the gun but he thought, “Anything could happen. ”
He wanted to hide the gun under his coat but it was too long so he cut the end off with a saw.
The next morning he watched the professor leaving home at 10: 00. Carl climbed over the fence. The dog ran to him and Carl gave it a piece of meat and threw a piece of stone at the window, which made it broken. It was not high. He could climb into the house easily.
He looked around inside. There were paintings on the walls, small figures and vases on the shelves and the floor. Carl didn’t know much about art. He couldn’t choose. He reached his hands towards a big vase when he heard a noise. The front door opened and someone entered the house.
Paragraph 1:
It was the professor. He had forgotten to take an important document.

“For the past 35 years, one of my greatest pleasures has been to see Star Wars passed from one generation to the next. It’s now time for me to pass Star Wars on to a new generation of film-makers. Star Wars will live on and flourish with Disney, ” said Lucas, 68, in a statement.
Lucas will act as a creative consultant on the new “Star Wars” film, with more feature films expected beyond Episode 7.
“Because Lucas is private, I would assume most investors would be surprised (by the deal). My point of view is that Disney already has a great portfolio (作品集) and this adds one more, ” said Morningstar analyst Michael Corty.

Carl lost his job. He tried to find another one but it was not easy. The poor fellow couldn’t pay his bills because he had so little money and he couldn’t ask anyone to lend him any.
Carl spent his days at home. He looked out of the window and watched his neighbour’s house. An old professor lived there alone. Strangely, he never talked to his neighbour. Carl could see into the professor’s house because he never drew the curtain. The room was full of antique furniture and vases. Carl thought “ Why haven’t I got an antique vase I could sell it for a lot of money. ”
Every day Carl saw the professor. He left at 10: 00 in the morning and came at
4: 00 pm. He had a dog. Carl often went to the fence and played with it or gave it a piece of meat.
One day Carl thought “ I will go into the professor’s house and steal a vase and will break the window and climb in. The dog is not a problem. ”
There was an old gun in the cellar. It had been his great grandfather’s favourite thing a long time before. Carl didn’t want to use the gun but he thought, “Anything could happen. ”
He wanted to hide the gun under his coat but it was too long so he cut the end off with a saw.
The next morning he watched the professor leaving home at 10: 00. Carl climbed over the fence. The dog ran to him and Carl gave it a piece of meat and threw a piece of stone at the window, which made it broken. It was not high. He could climb into the house easily.
He looked around inside. There were paintings on the walls, small figures and vases on the shelves and the floor. Carl didn’t know much about art. He couldn’t choose. He reached his hands towards a big vase when he heard a noise. The front door opened and someone entered the house.
