Zong Qinghou was the founder (创始人) of Hang zhou Wahaha Group. He was born in 1945 in wartime China. He grew up very poor in Hangzhou and often went hungry. His father was out of work, and his mother supported the family of five children as a factory worker.
“Because of the hardship, as a child I had many dreams and hoped to make big money for my parents in return,” Zong said in a history book. As the eldest child, Zong left school after junior high to support his family and spent over ten years doing different jobs, including hard physical work at a far-away farm.
In 1978, Zong returned to Hangzhou and spent the next ten years working as a salesman. “My only dream at that time was to have my own company and do what I wanted to do, and I had been looking for such a chance,” he said in the history book. The chance finally came in 1987. Zong borrowed 140,000 yuan to start his own company, selling ice pops (冰棒) and stationery (文具) to students at a nearby primary school.
The company, which would later become Wahaha, sold ice pops for a cent each. During his door-to-door sales, Zong learned that many children were picky eaters so that they can’t get all the necessary nutrition (营养). That was a big headache for parents.
Seeing a potential chance, Zong worked with a professor of nutrition to invent a vitamin drink for children called Wahaha Oral Liquid. The product became a huge success soon. The company achieved nearly 100 million yuan in sales in the third year after it went on the market. That year, Zong founded the Hangzhou WaHaha Group after buying a failing food factory.

【推荐1】You don't have to be a scientist to solve big environmental problems. One Dutch designer is finding creative ways to make a change-and he's inviting cyclists to join him.
Dann Roosegaarde, 38, is a designer from the Netherlands. He uses creative ideas to improve city life. For his Smog Free Project he designed a portable tower that cleans air in Chinese parks. In the Netherlands, he designed a glowing bicycle path.
Now Daan and his team are working with engineers at Chinese bike-sharing company Ofo to create a new product for public use. It's an air-cleaning machine connected to a bicycle and is part of the Smog Free Project. In smoggy weather, the device（设备）would breathe in the air in front of the bike and blow out a stream of clean air toward the cyclist's face. So how does it work? Daan said the "smog-free bikes" would use the process of ionization（电离作用）to collect harmful particles in the air, such as PM 2. 5. "Take a balloon and polish it with your hand to produce static（静电）-it's the same principle." Daan told China Daily.
It's no secret that air pollution is a big problem for China. In winter, it's common for thick clouds of haze, caused largely by factory production, burning of coal and car emissions, to cover areas of China.
In 2016, only one-fourth of Chinese cities met the country’s air quality standards, according to a survey of 338 cities nationwide from the Ministry of Environmental Protection. "Of course one tower and a few bikes won't solve China's air pollution problem, " Daan told The Guardian. "But smog-free bikes area exciting idea that will hopefully activate communities toward creating greener cities."

【推荐1】Sue Coppard grew up in the countryside. As a child, her dream was going to the outside world. In fact, she achieved her dream. In 1971, Sue Coppard worked as a secretary in London. While Sue enjoyed city life, she also missed the country where she spent most of her time as a child. So she offered to help out on an organic（有机的）farming program organized by a nearby college.
Sue put a small ad（广告）in the magazine, offering people the chance to volunteer（做志愿者）at the organic farm. The volunteer program grew quickly. Soon other organic farmers joined in it, asking people to help out. With many volunteers and farmers joining in it, Sue started World-Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms（世界有机农场机会组织）to help them find one another.
In order to make more volunteers interested in it, Sue made WWOOF not only a weekend activity, but also an activity for travelers and people who wish to live and work on farms for longer periods of time.
By working on farms, the volunteers communicate with farmers and develop a love for the outdoors and organic farming.
Volunteering is something that anyone can do. So next time when you want to be busy on vacation, why not look for a good cause to spend your time on?

When I woke up on Jan.27th, my instincts (直觉) told me something was wrong. As I struggled (挣扎) to get out of bed, the view out of the window surprised me-heavy snow had hit Nanjing.
The sky was grey. The world was lit up by the sunlight reflecting (反射) off the endless snow.
I took the subway to school and things seemed fine. But as I walked out of the subway station, I thought, “You’ve got to be kidding me!”
As my friend said, “We were not playing with the snow——the snow was playing with us.”

【推荐3】I used to be a pessimist (悲观主义者), thinking that the worst thing might happen in every situation.
Last year, my mother had a serious illness. I felt my whole world turn upside down and I had no idea what I could do to help her with her pain. I often cried whenever I was alone.
Last month, I lost an expensive dress that was a birthday present from my father. I could not fall asleep for a few nights because I felt so terrible about the loss.
There have been many things like these in my life. I really didn’t know how to deal with them until I read If You Have a Lemon, Make a Lemonade by an American writer, Dale Carnegie.
“When the wise man is handed a lemon, he asks: ‘How can I turn this lemon into a lemonade? How can I improve my situation? What lesson can I learn from this?’” he wrote.
I suddenly realized that life is full of ups and downs, so I decided to stay positive (积极的) all the time.
Now when I think of my past, I wish I could have dealt with things differently. When my mother was fighting with her illness, I should have held her hands in mine, telling her that things would get better instead of hiding and crying.
Recently, I took part in a school singing competition. I didn’t win a prize. If I had not read the article, I would be sad and disappointed again. But I smiled after the competition because at least, I had got some experience in the singing competition.
Life is not just a bed of roses. There are thorns (刺) as well, but these thorns help us become braver and better. When life offers us a lemon, let’s try to make a lemonade.
