A small "shop" by the road in Japan has a dog "shopkeeper". It's selling roasted(烤的)Sweet 1there.
The friendly dog is 2 Kenkun. Because the shop is a self—service one, what the dog should do is just to be cute for customers and he does well3that. The roasted sweet potatoes are kept in a heated "box" outside the shop. So customers can help4directly They need to5100 yen(日元)into the money box for each potato they take. It seems to be working fine now. 6, who would steal a dog? Actually, the three-year-old dog is a good "shopkeeper. It's 7cute and lovely that some of the customers come to see him and of course, they will leave with 8 one or two potatoes.
People online have different opinions about this. Some of them think that's interesting and they say the dog is the 9 one they've ever seen. But others think it's crazy to keep a dog 10 near a "box" for several hours a day. In their opinion, dogs should run and play hers and there in the sun.
How many of us have reached into our drawer(抽屉)and pulled out socks that didn't match? Will you throw them away like most girls or try to reuse them? The story of Carly and Charley may help you.
Carly and Charley are the girls who often lose their socks. At first, they just matched different colors or styles like some other girls. But most of the time, these socks couldn't match their clothes. So they came up with an idea and started Odd Sox: they collected these socks and gave them away to homeless people. But the problem wasn't solved. They still had missing socks until they realized that they could make a business out of it. So they set up Single Sox: he girls sell socks in packs(包)of three so you can mix and match as you wish. Each pack is super colorful and super inspiring(激励人心的)—Carly and Charley have written words on every sock to encourage girls to celebrate their differences.
And they carry on the tradition of giving back—for every pair of socks sold, they give away a pair to those in need. Nothing is a waste if you have a creative mind.

Are you angry by the noise of your alarm clock every morning? Still feel sleepy after getting up? Now, you can say goodbye to that annoying alarm clock, you needn't hear its unpleasant noise every morning.
The Glow pillow (发光枕)can wake you up with soft LED lights. The lights produce the brightness over 40 minutes just like the sunrise.

The natural waking process helps to set "body clock" and makes people build a healthy sleep-and-wake habit slowly.
Maybe we three were the most unlucky graduates in our school history. I'll never forget the day when we had our graduation ceremony(毕业典礼).
I was known for being careless. I often fell down for no reason. Since I fell off the stage(舞台)during my Primary Graduation Ceremony, my family bet(打赌)that I would fall down again during my next graduation ceremony. The day came so quickly. This time, I proudly made it through the whole ceremony without falling. but I knocked over the whole backdrop (背景板)used to take pictures for graduates! I felt so embarrassed (尴尬的)the whole morning.
My friend Julia was even more embarrassed. When she together with all the graduates was sitting quietly in the hall at eight in the morning, she didn't expect her father to come to attend her ceremony because he was really busy then. The hall was very quiet and you could even hear a pin(针)drop on the ground. When all of a sudden, out of the silence, she heard "Hey,
Julia!" Everyone in the hall looked behind and found Julia's father, with a camera in his hand, smiling at her!
Tiffany was the most beautiful girl of us three. She loved all kinds of dresses. On that day, she dressed herself beautifully and wanted to have some beautiful photos. Unluckily, it was one of the windiest days of our life. The wind blew her beautiful dress up in front of the whole graduate class! She didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
Lucky? Unlucky? So lucky! All of these became the unforgettable part of our life!
