10．Colorful lanterns are lighting up China's night sky，as activities begin across the country to celebrate Lantern Festival today．
（61）Dating（date） back to the Western Han Dynasty （206 BC-AD 25），the Lantern Festival is held on the 15th day of the first lunar month （62）to mark（mark） the first full moon of the lunar new year．
You Guoqing，（63）afolk custom expert in Tianjin，said the Lantern Festival was about going out for a colorful celebration rather than a family get-together．（64）Besideswatching lanterns，（65）itis also a day to appreciate the full moon，solve lantern riddles，watch art （66）performances（performance） and eat tang yuan．
The festival was once also a time for romantic encounters．In feudal times，young women were not allowed to go out （67）freely（free），but Lantern Festival was an exception，（68）whenyoung men and women could meet up．
Some aspects of the festival，such as its romantic atmosphere，（69）are fading（fade），but people（70）stillsee the Lantern Festival as a day to rejoice and a chance to wish for happiness．

9．Success is so much more than just money or fame．（36）G．If you want to have a successful life，if you want to create a life that makes you feel passionate to be alive，here are the three tings you need to focus on．
Believe In Yourself
If you don't believe in yourself，how do you expect other people to？
If you don't believe that you can have the life you desire，if you don't believe that you can achieve all that you are setting out to achieve，it is going to be very difficult to create a successful life．（37）C．It also helps you to take a leap of faith when it comes to going after what it is that you truly desire．
（38）A．
If your intention is simply rooted in money and fame，chances are you are never going to truly feel successful．The feeling of success that is given through money and fame is only temporary and is not enough to sustain a long-term feeling of fulfillment and happiness．
（39）E．When your intention is to serve your purpose，make a change in the world and express your gifts and talents，you will feel true success and satisfaction no matter what the outcome．
Realize You Are Already Successful
Success is all around you and flows through you and the more you can welcome that into your life，the more you will Mart to feel it．
Being grateful for the tiniest successes in life will also help you to create more and more success．（40）F．The truth is that you are already successful and once you realize this，there is no stopping what you can do．

A．Know Your Intention． B．Realize your dream． C．When you believe in yourself，it fuels your creativity，your ambitions and your motivation to do things． D．Success is the result of preparation，hard work and learning from failure． E．For a truly successful life，your intention has to be rooted in your purpose，in your passions and in what feels good to you． F．This is a powerful mindset shift and one that will help you to align （使結(jié)盟）with your ambitions and dreams． G．Success is about being able to live a happy and fulfilling life that allows you to be true to who you really are．

8．I used to believe courtesy（禮貌） was a thing of the past．Very seldom have I encountered a courteous human being in this modem era of the so called Generation X．
Recently，I had to change my thinking，when I came face to face with just such a human being．I had gone to a happening coffee place，with two of my grown up daughters．The place was crowded with the usual loud crowd and we had to climb a sleep flight of stairs in order to find an empty table．After enjoying coffee and snacks，we were at the steep descent down the stairs，where the narrow space made climbing down only possible in a single file，with hardly any space for another person to either climb up or come down．
Just as I was in the middle of my descent，a gentleman entered the main entrance of the restaurant which right in front of the staircase．I was sure I would be pushed roughly by this man who will want to go up in a hurry．I kept coming down as fast as I could，holding on to the banister （欄桿），instead of my advanced years．My agile daughters were already down，looking up at me worriedly，hoping I would reach them before the stranger strange started up the stairs，knowing I was a nervous sort．
Nearly reaching them，I noticed the man still standing near the door．I reached my daughters and passed the stranger at the entrance door which he kept holding open．I looked back thinking he was still at the door，deciding whether to go in or find another less crowded place．I saw him going up the stairs，two at a time．I told my daughters about it and all three of us felt had that we did not even thank the courteous gentleman who was actually holding the door open for us ladies to pass through before going up．

7．Too Good To Go，an app operating in the UK，allows users to order leftover food at a discount from restaurants，according lo the website．The goal is to help cut food waste．
Users simply log in，pick a restaurant，pay trough the app and then pick up their food at a set time-usually around closing or after peak meal times．Orders through the app cost between 2 British pounds （2.60）to3.80Britishpounds（about 5）．Users aren't able to pick the food items，but they get an idea of the type of food that will be available，according to Business Green．
Users also have the option to give meals to people in need by donating 1 British pound or more through the app．More than l，l00 meals have been donated so far．
To ensure the entire experience is super eco-friendly．Too Good To Go provides recyclable takeout packaging to participating restaurants．
Restaurants using the app make extra money by selling food hat would otherwisehave been throw away．And Too Good To Go itself makes money by taking a fee from participating restaurants on each sale．
Founded in Denmark last year．Too Good To Go launched this year in the UK and is expanding to other countries．The app is available in Brighton．Birmingham，Manchester and Leeds，and will be in London later this month．
"Food waste just seems like one of the dumbest（愚蠢） problems we have in this world，"co-founder James Crummie told Business Green．"The restaurant industry is waiting about 600，000 tonnes of food each year，and in the UK alone there are one million people on emergency food parcels from food banks．Why do we have these two massive social issues that are completely connected，yet there is not much going on to address them？"

1．That Printer Of Udell's-Ronald Reagan
One book that had a big effect on former President Ronald Reagan as a child was the Christian-book That Printer of Udell's，by Harold Bell Wright．The main character of the book，Dick Falkner，was born into a broken home with an alcoholic father．After losing both of his parents，F(xiàn)alkner moves to a bigger city，called Boyd City to make a living．However，everyone turns Dick down for a job，except for a printer．Al the end of the hook，Dick heads to Washington，D．C，to become a politician．It's said that the book showed him that good could defeat evil and that the good guys followed a code of morality，which can be seen as a driving factor in his presidency．
2．A Treatise Of Human Nature-Albert Einstein
Albert Einstein was one of the greatest minds of all time．His name is synonymous with brilliance．So，what book had the biggest effect on such an important mind？It was A Treatise of Human Nature，by David Hume，which was published in 1738．Hume was a Scottish philosopher known for his contributions to philosophical skepticism（懷疑論）．Einstein mentioned a few times that A Treatise of Human Nature had a large influence on him．He read the book just before coming up with his famous special relativity theory．In a letter，Einstein said that Treatise helped him formulate the ideas．It was like he already had the ideas in his brain，and Hume helped him to express them clearly．
3．The Aeneid-Mark Zuckerberg
When Mark Zuckerberg first added his likes to his Facebook profile，he put the book Ender's Game，by Orson Scott Card，as a favorite book．Later，in an interview with The New Yorker，Zuckerberg clarified that the sci-fi classic was one he enjoyed，but it wasn't his favorite．He said that his favorite book is The Aeneid，by Virgil，a Latin epic poem that was written somewhere between 29-19 BC about a group of Trojan survivors．Zuckerberg said he first read the book when he was in high school while he was studying Latin and that one thing that stuck with him was Aeneas's drive to follow his fate to build a city that"knows no boundaries in time and greatness"
