2 . China is the country that eats the most watermelons in the world. It’s not because foreigners don’t like watermelons but “they can’t afford them.” Do you know why?
It’s reported that a kilo of US watermelon is about $6.91 in New York, which is about ￥46 in China.
Secondly, countries like the USA and Australia have a wide land, but watermelons were not introduced there as early as in China. The local people prefer other fruits that were known earlier to watermelons.
Thirdly, according to some reports, watermelons from foreign countries may not taste good.

3 . You only live once, and life is short. It’s easy to look at people who are happy and assume that they don’t understand your pain. The older you get, the more you realize that happiness takes work. People who smile in public have been through as much as people who cry, scream, etc.
Decide what’s important to you. It doesn’t matter what it is.
Ready to take risks. Sometimes, there’s danger involved in life, but every reward carries risk with it.
Ignore the haters. No matter what you decide to do with your life, there will always be someone around to point out the many ways you will fail. Know that every winner loses, but not every loser wins.

| B．Speak through your actions. |
| C．Successful people don’t start out successful. |

| F．They just have the courage and strength to smile through it. |
