Do you want to know how and why a fall leaf changes color? We first have to understand what leaves are and what they do．
Leaves are the world’s food factories． Plants take water from the ground through their roots and take CO₂ from the air． Plants use sunlight to turn water and CO₂ into glucose(葡萄糖), a kind of sugar． Plants use it as food for energy and growing．
A chemical called “chlorophyll” in the leaves gives plants their green colour． As summer ends and autumn comes, the days get shorter and shorter, and trees “know” to begin getting ready for winter．
During winter, there is not enough sunlight or water． Trees rest during this time and live on the food they store during the summer． They begin to shut down their food-making factories． As the green chlorophyll disappears from the leaves, we begin to see yellow and orange leaves．
The bright reds and purples we see in leaves are made mostly in autumn． In some trees, like maples(枫树), sunlight and the cool nights of autumn turn the glucose in the leaves into a red colour． And we can enjoy the beautiful red leaves during autumn．

What's the most important thing for you to have in your life? Somebody mentions hard-work, others suggest knowledge, love and luck．
If you arrange the 26 English letters alphabetically(按字母表顺序)and use numbers to represent each of them, for example, 1 for a 2 for b, 3 for c．．．, you can change an English word into a number． So hard-work becomes 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11="98," meaning 98 is itsmark；knowledge：11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5=96．while love：12+15+22+5="54," and luck：12+2l+3+11="47," a small mark．None of these words can give one a full mark． What about money or prayer(祈祷）?They can't, either．
Then what else? Don't be worried． You can always find an answer to a problem in your life, when you change your way of looking at things or doing things，or your attitude． Yes, attitude is the word． See for yourself： attitude：1+20+20+9+20+2l+4+5="100," a full mark．
Different attitudes lead to different courses of life． Most times people hope for a better life． It is possible that one will have a change for the better after one has changed one's attitude．
When you change your manner and became friendly towards others, you'll meet more smiling faces towards you． In the same way． if you take a positive（积极地）attitude towards failure（失败）, you'll find it's also rewarding though it has caused you losses．
