Mistakes are great teachers. Success comes to those who are willing to risk making mistakes to achieve their goals and wishes, and who are able to learn from those mistakes. And in order to learn from mistakes , you must be willing to pay for them .
Mistakes can be very valuable, but when you try to get others to pay for your mistakes, then you lose the chance to learn from them. When something goes wrong, it's usually very easy to find someone else’s mistakes, but is that useful?
Much of the value of mistakes comes from the fact that they need a cost that must be paid. The person who learns the most from a mistake is the one who pays the price for that mistake.
When you make a mistake, what you shouldn’t do is to run away from it. You need to accept it because you can learn a lot from it. The mistake has been made, so make the most of it. Pay the price, learn the lesson, and grow that much stronger.
When you make a mistake, don't look back at it long. Remember the causes , and then look forward. Mistakes are lessons of wisdom. The past cannot be changed. The present is still in your power. Make full use of your mistakes to achieve your goals and wishes.

How can you create public transport in the Amazon jungle(亚马逊丛林)without polluting it?The Achuar people(阿丘雅人)in Ecuador(厄瓜多尔)have found a clever solution.
Since April 2017,a boat powered completely by solar energy has travelled along the rivers that connect nine different small villages in the jungle. The boat,Tapiatpia,is named after a special kind of electric eel(电鳗)in the area. It has given the Amazon its first solar—powered public transport system. It creates no pollution in the jungle which is home to the largest number of plants and animals in the world.
Transport in the area used to rely on boats powered by petrol(汽油). These boats were expensive to run because petrol here cost five times more than that in the capital city of Quito(基多). Tapiatpia is cheaper to run,and therefore the fare for each stop is lower. A solar—powered boat ride costs one dollar per stop for each passenger,while a petrol—powered boat ride costs at least five dollars.
The solar-powered boat,which can carry 18 people at a time,is changing life in the jungle. More children go to school because the fare is more affordable. Besides,when someone is ill,his family or friends can call the boat on the radio:the boat will come immediately and take the patient to a health center quickly. More inter-village sporting events. are held,too,because of the use of the solar-powered boat.
Many people think the solar-powered boat can be used in the rest of the Amazon,where there is an urgent need for both public transport and environmental protection.
1.Who has found the solution to travelling without polluting the Amazon?
____________________________________________________________
2.What does the italic word "It" in the second paragraph refer to?
____________________________________________________________
3.In the past people in the Amazon travelled by petrol—powered boat,didn't they?
____________________________________________________________
4.Why are more inter-village sporting events held?
____________________________________________________________
5.How much should a group of 4 passengers pay for 3 stops by solar—powered boat?
____________________________________________________________
6.Is it necessary for the rest of the Amazon to use the solar—powered boat?Give your reason.
____________________________________________________________

The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 periods. Winter Solstice(冬至), the 22nd period of the year, begins this year on Dec 22 and ends on Jan 4.
On the first day of Winter Solstice, the sun shines directly at the Tropic of Capricorn(南回归线). As a result, the northern part of the world experiences the shortest day and the longest night in the year. From then on, the days become longer and the nights become shorter. The Winter Solstice also marks the arrival of the coldest season in the year. Here are three things you should know about Winter Solstice.

The Winter Solstice became a winter festival during the Han Dynasty (206 BC-220AD).
Eating dumplings
During Winter Solstice in North China, eating dumplings is necessary for almost everyone. There is a saying that goes “Have dumplings on the first day of Winter Solstice and noodles on the first day of Summer Solstice.”
