I knew how much he longed for his right to privacy (私人空间）when he was sharing a room with his younger brother, Robot. He said, “Mum, can I have a room of my own? I could use Jeff's. He won’t mind.” It was true that Jeff had graduated from college and flown from the nest. But would he mind? The room was the place where I told him a thousand stories and we 3 / 14 had a thousand talks. As close as we were, though, the time came when Jeff needed a doorbetween Us. His life was spreading into areas that had less to do with family. I no longer could or should know everything about him. It turned out that getting Jeff permission was easy. He said, “Of course, Mum, it would be selfish of me to hold on to it ” Then his vcce softened, “Mum，I won't be living at home again—you know that.” Behind his glasses, his eyes were lit with all the love. There were no door closed here— they had all opened up again. As John and I were cleaning the room, I fixed my eyes on Jeff's things around me and could almost touch the little boy I knew was gone forever.I looked at the room and ,in my heart,I let it go.To hold on would be,as Jeff said,seifish .Now it was time for John,shouldering through the door,his eyes bright with promise of indepenence ,to disappear behind the door,It was time for letting go to happen again. 24.

With perseverance a lame boy can learn to swim; with persistence a conquered country will win freedom. Only with strong determination can people fight their way to final victories. Many a famous man has the same experience .They have obtained their status because they have had the will to overcome numerous difficulties. Outstanding athletes go all out to train themselves. Their w illpower is beyond imagination. We all have read of great musicians, writers and inventors have created or discovered breakthroughs recorded in history. Always they have said that they owe all their success to perseverance. As to students, quite a big number of them have been successful through perseverance. However, acertain group of them just stop half way and their previous efforts turn out to be fruitless. The same is true of many rich businessmen. What we usually see are their achievements, but once we go behind the seenes we will find that they have put in a lot of continual steady efforts Of all countless exarmples the story of Colonel Saunders is perhaps one of the most outstanding.

Colonel Saunders had knocked on 1008 doors before he finally found a proper person to co-operate with. It is doubtful whether many of us would have had the perseverance to knock even a hundred doors.

Started by Anna Giordano in 2014, it teaches kids to recycle, compost (制 成堆肥)，and reduce food waste. Lunch areas at the participating schools are equipped with three clearly marked bins-compost, recycle and share. While the first two are common in schools, the third is rare, where kids can put their unwanted drinks, fruits, and even untouched sandwiches. Items in the container are available for any student that wants them. Whatever remains at the end of the day is donated to the food bank. Giordano says the three bins have helped reduce the nun of trash bags from an average of 22 to just 2! To ensure kids adopt similar habits at home, the non-profit has created extensive curriculum to educate families about the importance of sorting waste into the proper streams of recycling, composting, trash and food t0 donate- They also urge parents have convcrsations with their kids about food choices. 6 / 14 But, as we're all aware, kids aren't only ones that Waste food-adults are epually bad ,if not worse! To prevent that, Josh Treuhaft founded Salvage Supperclub in 2014. The occasionally organized dinners promise people a tasty multi-coursc meal for a mere 550 USD perperson . It is also a plan to save waste because the delicious food is made from vegetables that are past their prime and, therefore, headed for the trash bin. The other catch? Customers have to eat their meals inside a dumpster(大型 垃圾装卸车）! The place, of course, is totally clean. It is iust a symbolic gesture. In addition to helping people rethink their actions, Treuhaft also helps them to do good by donating part of the profits to non-profits devoted to fighting against food waste. 32.
