They're both poor though they work hard. Most villagers have built new houses, but they still live in the low and broken houses. They never find out why. Once Uncle Li went to the town to buy some medicine for his wife. In the town he heard apples in a city were expensive. He told Uncle Wang about it as soon as he went back. They decided to carry some apples to the city. They borrowed some money from their friends and bought nearly 1,000 kilograms of apples in the villages and carried them to the city on a tractor. Bad luck! A lot of apples had already been carried there when they arrived. A few days later they had to sell them at a low price. They felt unhappy and returned to their village. "I can't understand why we sustained (蒙受) losses in business while others always profit (盈利)," Uncle Li asked one day. "The tractor was too small," Uncle Wang said without thinking. "We'll carry more apples on a truck next time!" "I agree!" said Uncle Li. "How foolish we were!"

C This is not a diet. It's a simple way to lose weight. And you don't even have to give up the food you love or join a gym. You just follow some habits that thin people have. Keep them, and you'll become thin. (1) Wake-up When you wake up in the morning, sit up slowly without using your hands. With legs straight out, bend forward until you feel sore in your back. It will burn about 10 calories. (2) Start with soup When you have a meal, order a clear soup, and have it before having the main food. In this way, you'll feel fuller, so you'll eat less when the main food comes. (3) An apple (or more) a day Apples are full of fiber and water, so your stomach will want less. The study shows that people who eat at least three apples a day lose weight. (4) Stand up and walk around Every time you use the mobile phone, stand up and walk around. Heavy people sit on average two and a half hours more each day than thin people. This skill is very important as standing up and walking around will burn 50 or more calories. Use these skills, and you will have a big weight loss.

My Suggestions on Achieving Dreams
"The Chinese Dream" is a hot topic among all the Chinese people. Many Chinese young people are inspired by the Chinese Dream. I also have my own dream, I want to be a good teacher. As far as I am concerned, there are three ways for us to achieve our dreams. Firstly, never giving up is the key to make our dreams come true. We may fail time and time again, but we can learn from failure, correct our mistakes and try again until we achieve our dreams. Secondly, cooperation is also necessary. I don't think someone likes a person who is not good at cooperating with others. Most problems can't be solved by one person alone in the modern society. In addition, examine our abilities from time to time. It can help us know our advantages and disadvantages as well as get a full control of ourselves. I believe that if we follow the suggestions above, our dreams are sure to come ture.
