Alice Moore is a teenager entrepreneur (创业者), who in May 2015 set up her business AilieCandy. By the time she was 13, her company was worth millions of dollars with the invention of a super-sweet treat that could save kids' teeth, instead of destroying them.

It all began when Moore visited a bank with her dad. On the outing, she was offered a candy bar. However, her dad reminded her that sugary treats were bad for her teeth. But Moore was sick of missing out on candies. So she desired to get round the warning, "Why can't I make a healthy candy that's good for my teeth so that my parents can't say no to it?" With that in mind, Moore asked her dad if she could start her own candy company. He recommended that she do some research and talk to dentists about what a healthier candy would contain.

With her dad's permission, she spent the next two years researching online and conducting trials to get a recipe that was both tasty and tooth-friendly. She also approached dentists to learn more about teeth cleaning. Consequently, she succeeded in making a kind of candy only using natural sweeteners, which can reduce oral bacteria.

Moore then used her savings to get her business off the ground. Afterwards, she and her father secured their first business meeting with a supermarket owner, who finally agreed to sell Moore's product—CanCandy.

As CanCandy's success grows, so does Moore's credibility as a young entrepreneur. Moore is enthusiastic about the candy she created, and she's also positive about what the future might bring. She hopes that every kid can have a clean mouth and a broad smile.

Meanwhile, with her parents' help, Moore is generally able to live a normal teenage life. Although she founded her company early on in life, she wasn't driven primarily by profit. Moore wants to use her unique talent to help others find their smiles. She donates 10% of AilieCandy's profits to Big Smiles. With her talent and determination, it appears that the sky could be the limit for Alice Moore.

Mary will never forget the first time she saw him. He suddenly appeared in class one day, (wear) sunglasses. He walked in as if he (buy) the school. And the word quickly got around that he was from New York City.

For some reason he sat beside Mary. Mary felt (please), because there were many empty seats in the room. But she quickly realized that it wasn't her, it was probably the fact that she sat in last row. he thought he could escape attention by sitting at the back, he was wrong. It might have made it a little (hard) for everybody because it meant they had to turn around, but that didn't stop the kids in the class. Of course whenever they turned to look at him, they had to look at Mary, made her feel like a star. "Do you need those glasses for medical reasons?" the teacher asked. The new boy shook his head. "Then I'd appreciate it if you didn't wear them in class. I like to look at your eyes when I'm speaking to you. "The new boy looked at the teacher a few seconds and all the other students wondered the boy would do. Then he took off, gave a big smile and said, "That's cool."

Luke Grenfell-Shaw has a rare form of cancer. It started as a pain in his shoulder and the tumour spread to his lungs, making it stage four. The Oxford graduate was teaching English in Siberia when he suffered shoulder pain and saw the school nurse. It was her reaction to a lump on his back that sent him back home to Bristol. "I was 24 years old. I had done an ultra marathon," Luke said. "48 hours later, I was back in hospital in the UK." On the 19 June 2018, doctors told Luke that he had cancer.

"I had kind of worked out that it was cancer, but what kind of blew me away was the fact that it was stage four cancer," says Luke. "That day, my life felt like it had disintegrated. My life had been comfortable and conventional. I worked hard and got rewards in terms of education, jobs, things like that. That was all taken away." On the day of his diagnosis, Luke had one clear thought in his mind that he wanted to cycle around the world. It was something he had always hoped to do, but the cancer news made him realize that he couldn't put it off.

"I realized that the future had to become now," Luke explains. He decided to cycle from Bristol to Beijing—more than 5,000 miles—on a tandem bike, because he wants to bring people along to share the experience with him. Luke will not only be joined by family and friends for certain legs of his trip, but also by other young people who are living with cancer. "This trip is something I'm going to enjoy," says Luke. "It's going to be the richest and most fulfilling experience that I can have."

Most of us would assume that urban (develop) and climate change are responsible for pushing the animals out of their natural habitats. they go, animals find towns and cities in their way. nowhere else to make their homes, they have no choice but (move) in with us. As our cities become (green), they offer (increase) appealing spaces to animals looking for new habitats. These newcomers often flourish in their new city lives. Some animals have even changed their living (habit) to fit in with their new homes. However they adapt to our ways of urban living, it's important that we get better understanding of and even learn to appreciate our wild neighbours. Only then can we look towards harmoniously (share) our urban habitats.
