“Troublemaker” was what was given to my friend Peter by his teachers. They also saind that he had no future and no hope! But now I suggest that anyone who said that should say “sorry” to him.
Peter finished Grade Nine, and then he went to study at a technical college. He became a leader of a group of bad boys. After graduation he had nothing to do, so he just hung around by the market with his friends.
It looked lide nothing could change his life. It was not until the day that his father died. He left the boys and went to help his mother who sold food by the roadside.
He really pitied his mum and wanted to do something to support her. He loved reading cartoon（漫画）books and had been collecting them for years, so he decided that he should sell them. Soon he realized that his books were very popular. So he made up his mind to set up his own business. He went around buying cartoon books from other people. He bought them for 25%
and then sold them for half price.
These days, he doesn’t have to go around looking for cartoon books because there are always people coming to his shop to sell their old ones. He now has a monthly income of about 55,000 baht（泰铢）.
He was a “troublemaker” to his teachers but he is a hero to me. If you are judged by your teachers as a “bad student”, I suggest you ignore what they say. Just do your best in everything. Don’t give up so easily. Believe me, one day you could be successful, too. 36. Why does the authou think some people should say “sorry” to Peter? A. They refused to help him. B.

In 2008, the United States Department of Agriculture(USDA) wanted to know if all the school lunches served to students were healthy. The answer was a big, fot NO!
The USDA found that most American schools served lunches with too much fat and salt. They also found that most of the fruits and vegetables in the lunches came from cans（罐头）.Canned fruits and vegetables are not as good as fresh ones.
The USDA gives schools food and money to make lunches. But schools make up their own menus. Some make healthy lunches. Most do not. Now the USDA wants all schools to serve more healthy lunches. They want schools to follow the USDA’s guidelines for balanced（均衡）meals.
