Some years ago, Danny gave up his job as a doctor to become a freelance(特约的) model maker, but now he has money trouble. He says that he wishes he'd never 1 to set up his own business.

    "I am now in such a bad situation," says Danny. "I hope I'm 2 working as a doctor. You see, I was 3 with my job, and I didn't have any fun. I said to a few friends that I wanted to go into 4 and they said that they could give me work, so I left the hospital.

    At first, everything was 5: I had too much work to do. I got too many orders every day. And soon I 6a large number of money. I had a really great lifestyle, and when the work was finished, I used to take good 7 in places like the beautiful blue Aegean Sea, Maldives, Hawaii and so on, just to get relaxed.

    Like this, I was busy having fun all around the world, and charged (支付) everything to my credit (信用) cards, but then I began to 8 how much in debt (负债) I was. At last, I had to sell all my office equipment (设备). Now I could do almost 9 even if people asked me. I've had to 10 my business now and I don't know what I'm going to do for money. It just goes to show if you set up your own business, you shouldn't spend money you don't have."

 It was Jimmy's birthday and he was five years old. He got a lot of nice birthday gifts from his family, and one of them was a beautiful drum.

" Who gave him that thing?" Jimmy's father said when he saw it." His grandfather did," answered Jimmy's mother.

" Oh," said his father. Of course Jimmy liked his drum very much. He made a terrible noise with it, but his father didn't mind. He was working during the day and Jimmy was already in bed when he got home in the evening, so he couldn't hear the noise.

 But one of the neighbors didn't like the noise at all, so a few days later, she took a knife and went to Jimmy's house while he was hitting his drum. She said to him," Hello, Jimmy, do you know, there is something very nice inside your drum? Here is a knife. Open(打开) the drum and let's find it."

Qi Haoran. a middle school student, was quito busy last winter vacation and not just with his homework. Qi, together with 10 other classmates, made a volunteer group to call on people to join the Clear Your Plate Campaign(光盘行动).

The 11 students went to many restaurants and told people the importance of saving food." Excuse me, do you know that 950 million people around the world still haven't got enough to eat? Please don't waste food." They would repeat such words hundreds of times every day.

China in recent years has experienced serious problems with wasting food. CCTV has reported that the food Chinese people waste every year is enough to food 200 million people for a year. Chinese people are well known for being hospitable(好客的) and generous(慷慨的), Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food, because it seems that they haven't prepared(准备) enough food for their guests.

Luckily, the campaign has got the support of many restaurants. In a restaurant in Xinjiang, the owner gives a sticker to the customers (消费者) who have eaten all that they ordered. People can enjoy a free meal when they have 10 stickers. Besides, more than 750 restaurants in Beijing have begun to offer smaller dishes and encourage their customers to take leftovers home.

To reduce food waste is a big task, and it needs time. It'simportant that everyone should do their bit just like Qi,So did you finish your meals today?
