Life is all about learning. Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person. With each passing day, we learn to with different problems.
◆ Happiness and sadness
True happiness comes hard work. Whatever we do, do it well. Putting on a happy face and thinking interesting things are helpful to have happy feelings. Helping others is
a good way. When happiness comes, sadness goes away.
◆ Failure and Success
Failure shows us the right way, helps us grow up and teaches how to be successful. As the old saying goes, ”Failure is the mother of success”. Don’t be
of failure.
◆ Hope and Despair(绝望)
Hope is what keeps life going. Hope makes us dream. Life teaches us not to
give up hope even in the darkest hours, after every night there is a new day. Whatever happens, just keep moving on in life and be hopeful.
Life teaches us not to feel sorry for , for it has passed and can not be called back. Tomorrow is unknown, for it could either be bright or dark. So the
choice is to work hard today, so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.
Personal information leakage（泄漏） has been common in China in recent years, and many people think it extremely annoying.
According to a recent online survey of nearly 2,000 Chinese, nearly 87 % of interviewees said that their personal information had been leaked, and nearly 50 % complained that information leakage has seriously affected their lives. The survey found that "phone number" "name, age and other personal information", and "family address" are the three main types of information leaked. They are followed by "job and company name" ,"ID card number", and "educational background". The leakage of information can be a lot of trouble. We may get lots of junk messages which are not welcomed. What’s worse, we may lose our money or get into lots of trouble because of this. In a word, our life can be affected.
So keeping our personal information safe is important. Be careful not to take part in social surveys easily that ask for our personal information.Is personal information leakage annoying to most of us?

For breakfast on Singles Day, singles often eat four youtiao, which means the four "ones" in "11.11". Many singles also choose to say goodbye to their single lives on this day.
