    Tonight, Carmen and Kara want to make dinner for the family. They want to make pizza because all their family like it. They need to buy the ingredients（原料）for the pizza. So, their dad drives them to the supermarket.

    When they get to the supermarket, Carmen and Kara look for the ingredients. Soon they get all of them and go to pay for them. They are 30 dollars.

    They put the ingredients in the car. Their dad drives them home.

    When they get home, Carmen and Kara take the ingredients out of the car. They take them to the kitchen.

    In the kitchen, they clean the vegetables. Then, they cut the vegetables. Next, they take out the crust（面包皮）. They put the ingredients on top of the crust. Finally they put the pizza in the oven（烤箱）.

    They take the pizza out of the oven in thirty minutes.

    "The pizza smells good!" says their mother.

    "We think so!" say Carmen and Kara.

    The family are happy, and they eat the pizza for dinner.

    John was born without arms. As a child, he learned to do many things with his legs. But there were a lot of things he couldn't do. His parents even had to feed him. His seven brothers had to help him to get dressed.

    One day his mom decided not to help John anymore. She told John's brothers not to help him either. "Let John do everything on his own," she said. "If John needs to eat, let him eat by himself. Let him get the dish himself. If he breaks up a few dishes, it's fine. No one will help him to get dressed either. Let him wear his clothes himself. If he can't get dressed himself, then let him run without clothes. But no one is allowed to help him. He has to learn to do everything himself."

    John's mother loved him. She wanted to help him. But if she always helped him, he wouldn't learn anything. She wanted him to be independent.

    Soon John learned to do everything by himself. When he was sixteen, he could even drive a car with his feet. John felt very proud. He thanked his mother for making him independent.

    Today John is a grown-up man. He has a business of his own and he is very successful. He also travels around the world.

    John likes children very much. He likes to talk and play with them. He tells them that they can learn to do anything. He teaches them how to be independent.

    One day, Mr. Smith is going to take a train to his home town. When the train starts, one of his shoes falls (落下)on to the ground. The train is running faster and faster and he can't pick it up. Then he quickly takes off the other one and throws it on the ground near the fallen shoe. A little boy on the train asks him." Why do you do that?" "I've already(已经)lost one shoe. "Mr. Smith answers, "If a man picks them up, he may get a pair of shoes."

   The Chinese swimmer Fu Yuanhui, known in the country for the "walking expression package", appeared at CCTV's annual Spring Festival Gala, the

   Most watched television program in China.

   Fu Yuanhui is a China's swimmer. She came third in Women's 100-meter backstroke(仰泳) finals at Rio Olympics in 2016. People became crazy about the 1996-borm girl, not because of her performance or her achievement, but because of her cheerful answers.

   Finishing the 100- meter backstroke with 58. 95 seconds, Fu thought it was 59 seconds, and she was quite surprised with the result. This was the first moment when she impressed Chinese audience(观众) with her surprising look and body language in front of the camera. The second time was her honest and direct answer to the question: "We know that your body condition was not that good in the past year and it's not easy to have such a result. Do you think you are now as good as before?" "It is my best score ever. I have worked for three months on the recovery(康复). Only the ghost knows, what I have come through," said Fu. "It was so painstaking that sometimes I felt like I was going to die."

   In the interview, Fu used a phrase "Hong Huang Zhi Li" to describe the great efforts she had made. The word soon became a popular word on the Internet.
