Kai, however, both his positive attitude and career were _ dramatically.On September 3, 2017, Kai was born weighing less than two pounds and with a large welt on the side of his head.

Qi, together with other classmates made a volunteer group to call on people to join the Clean Your Plate Campaign (光盘行动). The students went to many restaurants and told people the importance of saving food. Excuse me, do you know that nine million people around the world still havent got enough to eat? Could you please not waste food? They would say this kind of thing hundreds of times every day.China in recent years has experienced serious problems with wasted food. CCTV reported in January that the food Chinese people waste every year is enough to feed 20 million people for a year. Its a tradition that Chinese people offer lots of food when they invite others to dinner. Many even feel that they will lose face iftheir guests have eaten all their foodsLuckily the campaign has got the support of many. In a restaurant in Xinjiang, the owner gives the guests who have eaten up all that they ordered a sticker. People can enjoy a free meal when they have ten stickers. More than seven restaurants in Beijing have begun to offer smaller dishes and encourage their guests to take leftovers (剩饭剩菜) home.Wasting food is a serious problem around the world, not only in China. Its said that two billion tons (吨) of food ends up as waste every year. This is as much as half of all the food in the world. The UN Environment Programme and the Food and Agriculture Organization held a Think, Eat, Save programme on 2 January to help reduce food waste.To reduce food waste is a big task, and it needs time. Its important that everyone does their bit, just like Qi. Did you finish your meals today?10 .

Some rankings（排行榜） put Albert Einstein, Michael Jackson, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs as among the most successful people in the world. What Michael Jackson did for music is the same as what Albert Einstein did for physics. All of them do have greatly influenced the industries or media to which they belonged. J.K.Rowling, the author of the famous Harry Potter novels. She created a magical world that sold more than 500 million books and became hit movies. With an estimated（估算的） net worth of 650 million in 2017, she certainly goes for the dictionary definition of success, but for her it didnt come easy. Having no job, raising her child alone, she was refused by publishers about a dozen times before one took a chance on her. This is what people love: the rags-to-riches success story.In comparison with Rowling, the Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh practically suffered a lot in life to make ends meet. When he was alive, he only sold one painting even though he created more than 2,000 works of art. Van Gogh died when he was 37 years old and with very little money to his name. However, in 1990, his painting Portrait of Dr.Gachet sold for82.5 million, which has a value today of around137 million. So, the question is: Is Van Gogh considered successful even though he died poor? Besides the dictionary definitions, different people have competing ideas of what success really means. Often times the most agree on the same characteristics that make a person a success. A financial magazine named Inc. points to the following qualities that make a person successful: Drive, Confidence, Patience, Honesty, Passion Success isnt always about getting a lot of money or fans, even though those are the stories we see most often. There are other people who we may not know well, but who have achieved success in their own right. One perfect example is mothers. They spent days, months, and years teaching their children from birth to young adulthood. If a child grows up to be a kind, helpful, thoughtful and considerate adult, can the mother consider herself a success?Perhaps success really is subjective, and its up to people to define it for themselves. However, one thing seems to be in complete agreement when we search for the definition and can be best summed up by Steve Jobs, who said, If you really look closely, most overnight successes took a long time.15 . The word rags-to-riches in Paragraph 2 probably means _ .Awinning success from luckBturning talent into treasureCgaining money from honorDrising from poorness to wealth16 . The writer mentions Vincent van Gogh to show that _ .Asuccess is through lonelinessBsuccess is beyond time and spaceCsuccess is to take the life-changing opportunityDsuccess is to achieve something you want and try17 . What can we learn from the passage?AMost successes happen overnight if we look closely.BWhat makes people successful is the strong mind and body.CA child growing to be a gentle adult can be the mothers success.DAlbert Einstein makes greater achievement than Michael Jackson.18 .
