A young woman turns around and around quickly， and jumps high． In the background， a young girl reads a rejection （拒绝） letter from a ballet school． 'You have the wrong body for ballet， 'it says，' and at thirteen， you are too old．' This was one of the most popular advertisements （广告） of 2014 and it describes American Ballet Theatre's principal （主要的） dancer Misty Copeland．
This was not a real letter． But Copeland says it is very similar to letters from her childhood． While many dancers start at the age of three， Copeland only began to study ballet in 1995 as a thirteen﹣year﹣old． People often told her that she was too old， or that she didn't have the perfect body type （She is only 157 cm tall）． Her family moved a lot， and it was sometimes difficult for her to attend ballet classes． But Copeland loved dancing and did not want to give up． She stayed with her ballet teacher during the week and spent time with her family only at the weekend． This was a difficult life， but she worked hard and won her first national competition when she was fourteen years old． Copeland joined the American Ballet Theatre in 2000 and performed in many ballets over the next few years． In 2007， she became a solo （单独的） performer， and in 2015 she became its principal dancer．
Copeland is now a dancer， author and Broadway performer． She also stars in the 2015 film A Ballerina's Tale． So what's next？ According to Copeland， anything is possible： "My career （职业） really is just now beginning．"

The spring season brings warm weather， flowers and other changes for people to enjoy．For some restaurant cooks， the most exciting spring arrival is ramps．
Ramps are a wild plant in the eastern mountains of North America． They are one of the first plants that grow in the spring， usually between April and May． They are recognized（意识） by their red stem（茎）， and two long and wide green leaves． They are also famous for their strong taste， similar to onions（洋葱）．
Ramps are not as well﹣known as other vegetables， but they have a long history in the United States． In the Appalachian Mountains， ramps have been an important food for a longtime． During spring， it is common for small towns in the Appalachian area to hold large ramp dinners for the community．
However， over the last 30 years， ramps' popularity has grown quickly． They are now a highly﹣desired vegetable for many nice restaurants in cities like New York and Washington D．C．
One reason the plant is popular is that it grows in the wild． It is difficult to grow them on farms． Most restaurants get them from foragers， who collect ramps by searching forests for some small pieces of land where theygrow． Ramps have a short season． Within a few weeks of full growth， the plant is done for the year． This shot life is some reason for their popularity．
And that popularity could lead Io their disappearance from Earth． In 1995， the local government in Quebec， Canada， stopped people selling the plant to businesses in order to protect the plant against being over﹣dug．
The season is short， but it has not ended yet． If you are in the right place， you still have time to try a taste of ramps yourself．

In Los Angeles， a waiter served a group of teens． The waiter remembered his experience as a young high school student． So he made sure the teens had a pleasant experience at the restaurant． The waiter made sure of it．
After serving all the teens doing a great job， he was left a tip（消费），only￥3.28． That was hardly enough to buy a drink at Starbucks． The waiter went home． And he felt hatred for the students who did not know the value of hard work． They looked down on people like him． Or so he thought．
After several days， the waiter forgot about it． His life went on as usual． But ten days later， he received a letter from the teens．
"About a week and a half ago， on October 7， my three friends and I came to eat at this restaurant as our own homecoming celebration． It was an exciting experience for us to be here alone， and it was all new to us． And you were the best waiter we could ask for． You were kind， helpful， and didn't treat us like babies! So I want to say thank you for making our 'grown﹣up' experience so amazing and fun． "I would also like to say sorry on behalf of（代表） my group． Since we were new to all of this，our 13﹣year﹣old minds didn't exactly know how to deal with the bill．The bill was reasonable（合乎情理），but we had completely forgotten（and didn't know，to be honest） what a tip even was， let alone how much to give． So we emptied our pockets， and all our money added up to ￥3.28． "Having no idea of how small this really was ，we left． Later， we realized our mistake and felt terrible． We knew we had to make it right．" "So together with this letter， you wail find the correct 18% tip + extra for simply being amazing． Thank you for your help and patience and also thank you for making our night fun． Thank you!"
