10、 dream of running his own business grew in his heart.He said， “I want to be a successful person，like Alibabas Ma Yun.”When Luo was a junior student，he had the idea of selling lanterns(灯笼)when he saw many people flying Chinese lanterns in a square.Luo bought some lanterns from a store，but the sales w
11、ere not as good as he had expected.Then he found another way to do business.He bought lanterns on the Internet at a very low price.Finally he easily made 5，000 yuan in two days.With a happy beginning，Luo planned to open a dress shop.“My parents didnt support me opening a dress shop，so I had to borro
12、w 120，000 yuan for it.” Although he did market research before starting，the business wasnt very good because his taste in fashion wasnt accepted by customers.The shop eventually closed down after half a year.After experiencing a big loss，he decided to do something he was familiar withselling paintin

17、nd Nikhil Cheerla are choosing to go back to school，and this time they are the teachers.“I think its really nice that I can help the community by spending just a little bit of time every week helping just a few students here and there try and learn programming， ”Kosaraju said.Friends since they were
18、 young boys，Kosaraju and Cheerla always shared a love of computer science.They learned the skills from their parents and school，but recognized that not all children have that chance.“Programming isnt taught in that many schools，especially low income(收入)schools，because there isnt that much money to s
19、upport it， ”Kosaraju said.So he and Cheerla developed“Math and Coding， ”an afterschool program for kids of all ages to learn the basics of computer programming.Between applying for (申请 )college and doing their own homework，the two boys now spend a few hours every week going to different libraries te
20、aching classes that cover everything from building basic games to developing apps.The friends started the program a little over a year ago and already，its - 5 -spread to more than a dozen libraries across the Bay Area in California.They are even training volunteers to teach these very same classes i

26、l.It is all right to have a tiger in a cage，but to have one in the drivers seat is another matter altogether.Road politeness is not only good manners，but good sense too.It takes the most coolheaded drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving.On the othe
27、r hand，a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting.A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and calm so necessary in modern traffic conditions.But such behaviours of politeness
28、 are by no means enough.Many drivers nowadays dont even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.However，misplaced politeness can also be dangerous.Typical example is the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may be not able to st

47、 time, I realized how 41 I was to have been born in such a fortunate family. There was nothing that I could 42 because there was nothing more that I needed. I was truly 43 .
