In the cafeteria at Hengyang No.1 Middle School in Hunan Province, new banners (条幅) are put up: Who knows that each bowl of rice is the fruit of hard toil (谁知盘中餐，粒粒皆辛苦)? Clear your plate; refuse to waste food.

This is part of a nationwide campaign to cut down on food waste in China. The cafeteria’s manager told Hengyang News that they used to waste 100kg of food every day. But this amount has dropped by 75percent, as students are encouraged to take just the amount of food they need.

Many restaurants in China are also joining in. They encourage people to order dishes using the “N-1” formula(公式). “N” stands for the number of diners at a table. So if there are six people at your table, you should order just five dishes. If people can’t finish their meals, they are encouraged to take the leftovers(剩菜) home.

In fact, food waste has been a big problem for a long time around the world. According to a study by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Chinese restaurants wasted 17 to 18 million tons of food a year from 2013 to 2015. That could feed 30 to 50 million people for a whole year. The UN says there are 820 million people around the world who live in hunger.

3 . Remember when you were a little child trying to learn to walk?

First, you had to learn how to balance(平衡) yourself and stand. You fell down, and then got back up. You laughed sometimes and cried at other times. After much practice, you finally learned how to balance yourself. You got much pleasure from this new feeling of power—you’d stand everywhere you could. It was a happy time-you did it!

Now, the next step—walking. You’d seen others do it. It didn’t look that hard—just move your legs while you were standing. Wrong—more difficult than you ever imagined. But after you tried again and again, you understood how to walk.

If people found you walking, they cheered, “Oh, look at what the kid is doing. ” This encouraged you! But look back on those days when you were the little child—how many times did you try when no one was watching, or when no one was cheering? You couldn’t wait for someone to encourage you to take the next steps. You learned how to encourage yourself.

So, keep trying and encouraging yourself as you learned to walk if you want to succeed in doing something.

The Glo 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 pillow is taking the place of the traditional alarm clock. It was designed(设计) by Eoin McNally and lan Walton to be against the pressures of a “24 hour” lifestyle.

The pillow uses a kind of LED material below the surface. It wakes the user up with light. The material can also show the time on the pillow’s surface, and it is perfect for those who sleep with their heads completely buried(埋) face down into the pillow. 40 minutes before the preset(预设) alarm time, the pillow begins to glow and gently brings the user out of sleep.
