Do you think hard work always pays off? What have you got by working hard? Here is the story about1I became successful.
I'm a very smart person who has spent 210 years learning mechanics (机械学), but
I have no formal (正式的)education. I always tried my best to make people 3 me. However, I never made it.
I started out this year having just taken another factory job with a little 4 pay than my last one. I was making $13.50 an hour at my last job and even had a hard time living. 5 I was paid more, I still lived badly.
But 6you held on and didn't run away, you would succeed one day. My 7 finally arrived.
Three months ago, my neighbor bought a used car that everyone thought had some 8 problems. After taking a look at it, I said that I would be able to 9it. It turned out that I 10 him $2,000 that he expected to pay to rebuild it. He was surprised at my work and told many of their friends about me. So I got a lot of new 11.
In about two months more people came to me for work and I was making great money.
Then luckily I got a job 12 one of my customers (顾客).I was able to let them believe in me by solving difficult problems 13. They offered me another job that started even higher. I finally improved my life.
In one year's time I went from being in the worst condition to having customers begging (恳求) me to work for them. Now I can honestly say I feel truly proud of 14 and my skills.
So everyone, remember not to give up your dream easily because 15 will come to you in the end with your hard work.
Ways to Reduce (减少) Food Waste Food bank
Many countries have food banks. People and food stores can give extra (额外的）food to them and they can give the food to those in need. Shanghai Oasis opened China first food bank in 2015. In five years, it saved 7 million tons of food and helped 760,000 people, Xinhua reported.
Buy ugly food
Many fruits and vegetables go to waste because they look ugly. For example, about 25 to 30 percent of carrots don't make it to the store because of their looks, the UN said So try to buy ugly food next time, as it is just as good as "normal" food.
Order dishes with the "N-l" formula (公式).
Many Chinese restaurants are telling people to order dishes by using the "N-l" formula. "N" stands for the number of people in your group. So if you're in a group of six people, you should order five dishes.
My family and I went to the Superstar Circus last weekend. We went to the last show at nine o'clock. The horses performed first. The horses danced around when the band started to play in order to make everyone happy.
The young acrobats (杂技演员) were up next. They put on the amazing performance on two-legged chairs. The most special one was performed by a fifteen-year-old girl. She rode a bicycle on a rope (绳索)，but it was difficult for her to ride the bike on the thin rope. As she tried to ride from one end to the other, she almost fell down twice. The crowd broke into a loud applause (掌声) when she finally finished her performance.
Next, a large elephant stepped carefully on its trainer before walking over him. The people gave them loud applause once again, l was actually an exciting act!
The clowns (小丑) offered the people the interesting act during the break. They played jokes on each other and even on some of the people in the crowd. We had a laugh as they finished their act with a funny song and dance.
After the break came the wild animals. The lions would sit, run and shout according to trainers' orders. The trainer was so close to the lions that we were worried about them much.
The show ended with a group of clever chimpanzees showing off their maths skills.
It was already eleven o'clock when we left the circus. We went home, excited by the experience of watching a great, live show. It was a show not to be missed!

Sometimes what we write online may have bad results we don't expected. A few years ago, a girl's birthday party turned into a nightmare (噩梦). Fifteen-year-old Cathy posted her address (地址) and an invitation to her birthday party online. When her parents got back from the cinema that evening, they couldn't believe their eyes. There were 500 people at the party, and some of them were even breaking windows, making a mess of the house.
Most teens think they know everything about social media and things like this could never happen to them. A study shows more than many young people have got into trouble because of their online activities.
Here are some important tips. They will help you to be safer online.
RULE1: Share with care!
Not everyone will like what you write on Facebook or WeChat. You can never completely control who sees your texts, your pictures, or your videos. Before posting them, everyone should ask themselves two questions: "How will I feel if my family or teachers see this?" and "How might this post be bad for me in three, five or ten years from now?'1 RULE 2: Be polite when you write!
Imagine someone is unfriendly in real life. You don't like it, right? Well, the same is true of online communication. Politeness matters, and anyone can be polite. No one likes it when you "shout" in your messages. If you feel angry or upset while you're writing a message, wait a bit. Read it again later and then send it.
RULE 3: Protect and respect (尊重)！
Don't share your passwords with anyone. Don't post your home or email address online. Pay attention to "cyberbullying (网上欺凌)" 一 don't say anything bad about other people. If you get messages like that or see them online, talk to parents or teachers.
In one country, a poor man told the king, "My daughter can make straw (稻草) into gold." The king called the girl to the palace (宫殿) and kept her in a tower, saying, "Make all this straw into gold or I'll keep you in the tower forever."
The girl started to cry. She couldn't make straw into gold. Suddenly, an ugly imp (小精灵) appeared. "I can help you to turn straw into gold," he said. "Give me all your money and I'll do it for you." The girl gave him all her money and the imp changed the straw into gold.
The next day, the girl thought，"I'm going to be free now," but the same thing happened. This time, the imp helped her and took the girl's ring. On the third night, the girl had nothing to offer him. Finally, thinking she was never going to be free, the girl agreed to give him her first child. The next day, the king was happy with the gold. He married the girl and made her queen.
Some time later, the queen had a baby. The imp appeared, and the queen didn't want to offer him her child but all of her treasure.
However, the imp said, "I will give you a chance. If you can guess my name in three days, you can keep your child."
The queen sent people out to collect everybody's names. She guessed hundreds of names but failed. Finally, one man found the imp's house. lie listened to the imp singing his name ...
When the imp came back to the palace, the queen asked, 4<Is your name Frederick? Benedict?…Archibald?" Then she had one more guess, "Is your name RumpelstiUskin?"
The angry imp ran away ... and they never heard from him or saw him again.
