People are always afraid of making mistakes. But sometimes it's not bad to make mistakes, and here is why.
At first, mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things. It's always good to try new things, because when you are trying new things you are growing. If you never try new things, how can you improve? How can you create? The simple answer is. "You can't." Look around you, everything you see is the result of someone trying new things.
Another good thing about mistakes is this: when you are making mistakes, you are learning. Edison failed 10,000 times before he invented the light bulb (电灯泡). When he was asked how he felt to fail so many times, he said that he hadn't failed 10,000 times, but had learned 10,000 things that didn't work.
Finally, when you make a mistake, you are that much closer to success. Why? Because you have said what you should say, and you have done what you should do. Every time you make a mistake, you are closer to success. But it doesn't mean that you can make mistakes without thinking. Instead, when you try new things you have to think them over, so that you can keep away from some unnecessary mistakes.
We shouldn't spend all our time and money on the only one way, but use them correctly. Because our time and money are limited(有限的).
There is an old saying, "If you are not making mistakes, you are not trying hard enough." So go bravely and make mistakes. And learn. And grow. And succeed.If you are making a mistake, that means_______________.
| A．you're careful | B．you're kind |
| C．you're growing | D．you know nothing |
If you never try new things, you can't______
| A．improve | B．disappear |

| A．gave up |
| B．invented the light bulb |

| D．invented 10,000 new things |
When you make a mistake, you are closer to_______
| A．school | B．money |
| C．success | D．everything |

After a study showed that one in every ten meals in the country may be cooked in with dirty oil, the State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) on Thursday issued an emergency notice （发布紧急通知）to restaurants nationwide, warning them against recycling oil.
The swill-oil is cooking oil refined from kitchen waste that has been recycled. Although it looks clean and clear, it’s actually so dangerous to people’s health that it may cause cancer.
According to a report, the swill-oil business is extremely profitable. Recycling one ton of kitchen waste will produce 130 kg of swill oil. With its price being half that of normal cooking oil, a profit（利润）of 1.5 to 2 billion yuan is produced in the whole swill-oil business in the country every year. The profit is almost 200%, so it’s easy to understand why the business is so hot.
He Dongping, a professor from Wuhan Polytechnic(WHPU) said, “To stop the use of dirty oil should start at its source, kitchen waste. And the first step is to find a good way of collecting kitchen waste.” “However, it might take about 10 years before China could solve the problem completely,” he added.
A. few B. nobody C. many
A. big money-maker
B. common situation
C. terrible thing
A. the biggest problem is that restaurants produce too much kitchen waste.
B. the way of dealing with kitchen waste isn’t good enough now.
C. we can stop the use of swill-oil in a short time if we take it serious.
A. restaurant service
B. food safety
C. eating habits
