    John and Bob joined a company at the same time. They both worked very hard. After several years, Bob became the manager, but John thought it was unfair, so he gave his resignation (辞职信) to the boss.

    When the boss found out the reason why John wanted to leave, he said, "I hope you will do one more thing for our company before you leave."

    John agreed. The boss asked him to find out if anyone was selling watermelons at the market. John went and soon returned, He said he had found a man selling watermelons. The boss asked him how much they were. John shook his head and went back to the market. When he returned, he told the boss they were 1.2 dollars per kg.

    Then the boss asked Bob to find a watermelons seller at the market. Bobby went, returned and said, "Only one person is selling watermelons. 1.2 dollars per kg, 340 melons in all, and each melon weights about 2kg. They are fresh."

    John realized the difference between himself and Bob. He decided not to leave but to learn from Bob.

    Jane was an old woman. She was rich and lived in a big house. One sunny morning, Jane opened the window and looked at her garden. The sun was shining brightly. "What a good day!" She said. Suddenly she saw a man eating grass in the front garden of her house. She walked to the man and asked, "Why are you eating grass? Are you very hungry?" The man answered, "I have no money to buy any food. I haven't had meals for days. I'm dying of hunger." "Poor boy," said Jane, "come to the back door." Then she walked into the house again. "The rich lady will give me some food to eat. It's so kind of her." The man thought. But when he went into the house, Jane opened the back door and said to him, "The grass is taller behind the house."

    Four years ago, Chinese skater Wu Dajing introduced himself to the skating world by winning a silver medal at the Sochi Olympic Winter Games. At this year's Pyeong Chang Olympics, Wu not only returned, but also made history.

    On Feb 22th, 2018, Wu won the gold medal in the men's short-track 500-meter race. He set a new world record with a time of 39.584 seconds. He also became the first Chinese man to take home an Olympic short-track gold medal. BBC said Wu's win was “flawless”, because he was much faster than all of the other skaters.

    “I didn't give them a chance and I kept my speed from the start,” he told the reporter after the match.

    But China's short-track teams didn't do well in general at the Games. Chinese skaters in the women's 500 meters, 3000-meter relay and men's 1500 meters all failed to take home the gold.  Wu was China's biggest hope, which put a lot of pressure on him. But he proved himself with his great performance.

    Wu is now known as a highly talented skater. But things were not always that way. When Wu joined the national team in 2010, he was seen as almost “nothing” compared to gifted skaters like Zhou Yang and Fan Kexin, as his coaches said at the time. Their words made him quite upset. But Wu didn't want to give up and worked as hard as he could. He practiced skating all year round. He even didn't return to his hometown for the holidays for 10 years. “I believe in myself,” he told the reporter after his match at the Olympics.
