Anna Brown was an artist who believed that it was important to help others. When she heard of a summer camp for children with serious illnesses, she came up with an idea. It cost money for these kids to go to the camp, so Anna decided to see what she could do to help. It was impossible for her to donate(捐赠) a lot of money. so she had to think of another way.
She wanted to take advantage of her love of art. So she started making and selling beautiful cards to raise money for these kids. Because these cards were all handmade, it would take her a long time to make a lot of them. So Ann a had another idea. She started inviting friends to her house to help her make the cards. At first her friends were hesitant. Many said that they were not artistic and didn' t know how to make cards. But once they saw the beautiful materials that she had in her workroom, her friends felt more comfortable doing things such as drawing and cutting in order to make a new card.
But the materials were expensive. To make money without spending money, Ann a asked for and got donations of paper, glue, scissors, and other things from nearby stores. She sold her cards for three dollars each in different art markets during the year. Anna raised more than$30,000 in her 10 years making cards.
On November 14. 2023. the International Civil Aviation Organization(ICAO)(国际民用航空组织) officially recognized China' s Bei Dou Satellite Navigation (卫星导航)System(BDS) as the world level. This makes it one of four global (全球的) satellite navigation systems, along with the United States' GPS, Russia' s GLONASS and the European Union' s Galileo.
China started to develop the BDS in 1994. The system came into use in 2000. After 12 years of work. it began serving the Asia-Pacific region. In 2020, with the global use of BDS-3. China has improved the system to provide users with more correct positioning services. making it a valuable tool for more industries(行业), including transportation, agriculture(农业) , and surveying (测量) .
Now with 59 satellites in its network, the BDS has served more than 1. 5 billion users across the world. Most mobile apps providing maps navigation and shopping services inChina already support the BDS. China' s satellite navigation industry is growing fast. Its value reached more than 500 billion yuan in 2022. That number is expected to double by 2025. In the first half year of 2023, there were about 13. 4million new BDS devices (设备) . Nearly60% were used in transport systems. The rest were used in communication and agriculture. The former made up about 28% and the latter 12%.

Life is like a journey. None of us can predict the destination(终点) of this journey. During this journey. we will enjoy beautiful scenery and meet bad weather. People have different experiences, but in this journey, we all have to face all kinds of situations. No matter what we experience, we should have a dream and hold it until the end of our journey.
We can' t set our goals too high, which will make us have no time to enjoy ourselves along the way. Every day, we have to move forward in a hurry, just like climbing mountains. When we climb a mountain, there are many higher mountains waiting for us to climb. That way, we may give up our dreams, because it seems impossible for us to reach the top. We should start from own reality(现实) and enjoy the beauty of life. We should not only live for our goals, but also live for ourselves.
Learn to love. During the journey of life, we are not alone. There are many people with us: family, friends, teachers and so on. They give us love and care and we should love and respect them. including strangers. Be nice to others, and the world will be nice to us.
Treat the journey of life calmly and patiently, wait for the flowers to bloom and fall, and enjoy the clouds. The beauty of peace of mind is even more fascinating. A calm heart is like a clear blue sky without dark clouds, like a pool of clear water without any pollution, and like the light on green leaves, giving us hope and courage.
All in all. we should value everyone, everything and every scenery we see. Life is too short. Be kind to yourself. Live in the present and let life show its beauty, because we only have one life. Please feel the scenery along the way with your heart!

There was once a painter whose goal was to paint the most beautiful painting in the world. Day and night he painted to make his greatest work. He painted many paintings. but every time. he would throw away paintings that he thought were less than perfect (不那么完美).
At the same time, another painter who worked in the same studio(工作室) also painted many paintings. He tried his best to paint and seldom threw any paintings away. The first painter would sometimes walk by, looking at the second painter' s finished works. and laugh at them. " No one will buy these paintings. They are worthless! " he would say.
The second painter would always answer. " We' ll see. " And in time, the second painter sold nearly all of his works. People were happy with them even if they were less than perfect
The first painter couldn' t sell any of his paintings, and he never achieved what he wanted. And he gave up his dream of perfection finally.
There is a saying——" Practice makes perfect. " It is used to say that people become better at something if they do it often. For example, if you want to be a good writer. you should write every day.
But in fact, this saying is not always true. No one is perfect, and looking for perfection often ends in failure(失败). But if we simply do our best and work hard, we can usually succeed in life. So please remember: perfection is not always possible, but that' s okay.
