A
“Where there is a will, there is a way.” Perhaps not many students can understand this better than 22-year-old Michael Ha. Because of his story of success, he has become an example to many young people.
Michael Ha was born in a very poor family. His parents worked in Vietnam before they moved to Britain in 1980. They couldn’t find work in Britain because they spoke little English. The whole family had to live on benefits (救济金) and they lived in a small house in Hackney, a poor area in East London. Growing up was not easy for Michael, but he never gave up.
At the age of 10, he set his heart on going to Cambridge University. It was not easy, either. Michael studied at a school, which used to be called “the worst school in Britain”. However, young Michael made up his mind to try his best, no matter what kind of school he was studying at. The smart boy studied very hard and did well in every subject at school. Once he made a bet (打赌) with his friend to learn further math. As a result, after spending just four months teaching himself from a textbook, he got an A in AS-level further math.
Now Michael is the star medical student at St. John’s College, Cambridge and has just won an award (奖) for his excellent grades. He hopes he will be an inspiration for other young people from disadvantaged backgrounds.When was Michael born?

A new rubbish sorting system （垃圾分类系统） has been put into use in Fangchengyuan Community in Beijing． Local people not only sort their rubbish， but also put QR codes（二维码） on it．
"When the rubbish is collected and the codes are seen， I will get reward points to exchange for small gifts and even some money，" one of the local people told reporters． "It's really creative and encouraging．"
This smart system has been carried out in 350communities in Beijing． The capital of China has joined a list of cities in the country that take action to support rubbish sorting． For example， Shenzhen and Shanghai have made laws to punish sorting rubbish correctly．
China produces quite a lot of rubbish every year． Much of the rubbish is buried（填埋） in soil or burned without being sorted． Landfills（填埋场） take up a lot of land and have a risk of polluting the soil and water nearby． And burning rubbish can produce harmful gases． Through rubbish sorting， we can reduce the use of landfills and air pollution．
What's more， rubbish sorting saves resources， which could bring economic benefits（经济利益）． For example， a ton of waste paper can be reused to make about 850kg of paper， saving 17trees and 50percent of water． Because of their benefits， some countries have developed successful sorting systems．
Japan has a strict and detailed system． When people throw away a water bottle， the cap， the wrapper（包装纸） and the bottle itself have to go into three different bins． Every year， families receive special rubbish sorting timetables and directions from their local governments． They are advised to follow the timetables and directions when they throw away rubbish．
In Australia， every family is provided with three rubbish bins﹣﹣the red lid（盖子） bin for "general waste" like food and plastic bags， the yellow lid bin for "recycling" like steel and glass， and the green lid bin for "green waste" such as grass and leaves． On the streets， the bins are printed with pictures of the things that are allowed inside． It makes recycling quite easy．

D． Some small gifts．

D． Australian people have to obey local timetables and directions to throw away rubbish strictly．
I'm not the kind of mother who often brushes her daughter's hair， and my daughter has never liked sitting quietly long enough for me to do it．

On my way home， I felt a piece of my soul（灵魂） had been taken away from my body． I began to shake． Tears came down my face． When I arrived home， I calmed down and reminded myself why I chose this path． "I want Kitty to have a chance to find herself， out of my shadow （影子）． If I don't set her free， I'm afraid she won't be independent（独立的） forever．" I said to myself．
