    I-Shou Lin（林义守） is a very successful businessman. When he was a child, he had no opportunity to get a formal education, but didn't let that hold him back. By the age of ten, he had begun a few small businesses. In 1988, Lin started a steel factory in Taiwan where he was born, and then developed it well. 11 years later, the production doubled.

    During this time, his mom reminded him of the importance of education. Because he had made some money, she felt he had a social responsibility to help in this field. Then Lin realized that few students studied electrical machinery. So he started Kaohsiung Polytechnic Institute （KPI）, which was later upgraded to I-Shou University.

    When asked about education, Lin replied that the next generation needed to be educated from an international point of view. And in 2004, I-Shou International School was set up.

    After suffering a serious illness, Lin realized that life is priceless. He looked for more ways to improve people's lives. As a result, he established a world-class hospital with the latest equipment and best-trained staff. I-Shou university's medical school combines education and medicine to educate students to serve those in need.

    Life needs fun as well. Having travelled to many countries and regions, Lin thought Taiwan should be as desirable as Singapore, Hong Kong and Macau. Then he developed E-DA World. It includes one of Asia's best outlet malls as well as the region's largest amusement park and theater.

    What do steel production, ______, ______ and entertainment have in common? The answer is: I-Shou Lin!

A different kind of alarm clock

    When Matty Sallin, 24, was studying art and technology at New York University, he got an interesting task for the final exam：Create something for the ordinary family. He decided to create an alarm clock.

    "To get up in time, many people have to use an alarm clock every morning. But the sound of the clock is extremely noisy and unpleasant." he says. So before he started to design the new clock, he asked different people what they'd like to wake up to in the morning. A lot of them said, "The smell of bacon(培根)."

    So Sallin and his two classmates invented a new kind of alarm clock: a wooden box with a pig face and a digital clock that uses the smell of cooking bacon to wake people up. He explains, "There's no danger of burning, because I built it carefully, It uses special light bulbs(灯泡) instead of a fire for cooking and turns off automatically after ten minutes. "Just a few easy steps are required to set the "alarm".

    "What you do is to put a few pieces of bacon meat inside the box the night before, then you set the alarm," says Sallin. "If you set the alarm for 8：00, it will turn on at 7:50 and slow cook for ten minutes under the bulbs. Then the bulbs turn off and a fan blows the smell out through the nose of the pig."

    "So the pleasant smell of bacon will wake you up. There will be no more noisy alarms," says Sallin. "Then you can open the door on the side and pull the bacon out and eat it."

    When Sallin was a kid, he spent a lot of time making drawings of inventions. "I wanted to make a lift in my back yard and a special tree house," he says. "But I never really thought I'd become an inventor！"

    Sallin got an A for his alarm clock and went on to invent other things-but people continue to email him every day asking where they can buy his alarm clack. If he decides to produce and sell his special alarm clock, maybe he can build a successful business out of it.

    There are many people helping to take care of others in every country. For example, some high school and college students in the United States often spend many hours as volunteers in hospitals, orphanages (孤儿院) or the old people's homes.

    They read books to the old people. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}Other young volunteers go and work in the homes of people who are sick. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}For boys who don't have fathers, there is an organization called Big Brothers. College students take these boys to baseball games or take them to go on trips. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}.

    There are a number of clubs in some cities. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}Some of these clubs show movies or organize short trips to the mountains, the beaches, the museums or other places of interest. Most of these clubs have a lot of high school and college students as volunteers because they're young enough to remember the problems of younger boys and girls.
