When you find that you can't make something right, what will you do? You might want to make excuses(借口) like a thing you wanted to do but you didn't do or a job that you didn't finish.
But excuses can't make any difference Let me tell you a short story I think it will show you the power(力量) of not making excuses and trying your best.
Before I read the story, I saw a picture. In it, a man was wearing different socks and shoes. It wasn't a show. It was the 1912 Olympics(奥运会), and the man was Jim Thorpe. On the morning of his matches(比赛), his shoes were lost. Luckily, he found two shoes in a garbage can(垃圾桶). But one of the shoes was too big, so he had to wear one more sock. Wearing these shoes, Jim won gold medals(赢得金牌) that day.
So what are you going to do when you meet problems? Try to remember:When meeting any problem, don't let it stop you from running your race. You can get more in life if you don't make any excuses and try your best.
When we feel lonely(孤单的), we can call or video chat(视频聊天) with our friends and family. But what about our pet parrots? Can making video calls to each other help them feel less lonely, too? To find out the answer, some scientists from Northeastern University did a study.
The idea for this study came from the fact that parrots are used to(习惯于) living in large groups in the forest. But when they are kept in people's homes as pets, they are often on their own. Lonely parrots are unhappy. They may act strangely, and they often get sick(生病的) easily.
"Over 20 million parrots are kept as pets in the US, so it's necessary to help those birds get in touch with other birds, "said Dr. Jennifer Cunha.
During the first month of the study, scientists taught 18 pet birds how to make video calls. In the next two months, 15 pet birds could make video calls freely. They made 147 video calls to other birds. Surprisingly, they often choose the same parrot"friend"to talk to over and over again. And the parrots making the most calls also got more calls.
Dr. Jennifer Cunha said, "We saw some great results from the study. Some of the parrots liked to sing and play more after having video calls with each other. Some of them learned new skills(技能)from their online friends, like flying, looking for food and making new sounds. Some even wanted to show their friends their toys. In a word, these birds came to life through the calls. "
Du Haotian, a student from Shaanxi Province, becomes popular online because of making guoba, a kind of snack(零食).
Usually, people use rice to make guoba. However, Du uses colored potatoes to make it.
Villagers in Zhenba County, Shaanxi Province, plant potatoes, but it is hard for them to sell potatoes. Du Haotian, a student of Northwest Agriculture and Forestry University(西北农林大学), together with his team, thought of the idea of colored potatoes to help sell the potatoes.
After trying and improving(改进) several times, the snack became popular at Du's university. "We made 10, 000 yuan in an hour, "Du said.
At the end of last year, Du's team opened their own factory in a village to process(加工)colored potatoes and make the snack in the county. At the beginning of this year, the production line(生产线) started. It can produce 5, 000 tons(吨) of potato snacks a year.
Du should have graduated(毕业) in June 2020, but he decided to graduate one year later. He said he still needed time to work in the factory. Finally, Du's teacher agreed with him.
Once, a villager showed the potato snack to Du, but the village r didn't know who he was. "At that time it warmed my heart, " Du said. Recently, Du's potato snacks joined in a local food game(当地的零食排行榜). His snack reached the top of the list because of the support of many villagers.
