Everyone has a dream, and SO does Matthew Hessburg from North Carolina(北卡罗来纳州),USA. Although he has Down syndrome (唐氏综合症),Matthew always dreamed of becoming a chef(厨师). After years of hard work, he has made his dream come true.
As a kid, Matthew used to spend hours making different dishes and eating them together with his three brothers. Every year, they visited their grandparents in the village and stayed there for some days. They enjoyed having barbecues (户外烧烤) outdoors together.
Thanks to his sweet childhood memories and strong interest in food, Matthew decided to go to Western Carolina University to study restaurant management.(管理) While he was there, Matthew developed his cooking skills. The experience encouraged him to set up his own barbecue company. As he says,“Good food, good people, together we're better!"

Have you ever complained( 抱 怨 )why life is so tiring? Does the sky sometimes seem dark to you? Are your lessons sometimes not successful? Well, friends, cheer up and smile all the time. If you see the world with your warm heart, you will find the whole world smiling to you
一个晴朗的早上,你计划散散步来放松自己。Just before you go out, it suddenly starts to rain. Maybe you would feel very sad and start to complain about the weather. But dear friends, why not sit down and listen to the free concert that the nature brings you? And with the timely rain, crops (庄稼)in the field will grow better and farmers will have a good harvest(收获).
Although everyone wants to succeed in what he tries to do. Life isn’t a bed of roses, then, it's very common to meet difficulties on the way to success. In fact, difficulty isn't terrible. The real terrible thing is that we are afraid of it. Difficulty is like a spring (弹簧).If you are weak, it will be strong. So when you meet difficulties, don’t give up.相反,你应该微笑着面对困难。Attitude decides everything. With an optimistic(乐观的) attitude, life is easy and pleasant. If you want to be happy, try to remember these five easy rules. Free your heart from hate; Free your mind from worries:
Live an easy life; Give more; Expect less. The quickest way to receive happiness is to smile. The fastest way to lose it is to complain.

Do you believe that people’s habits of eating can show their characters and their ways of behavior? Take a look at the following description and find out if it is true for you!
The Slow Eater
After everyone else has finished their meal, you will find this person plodding along, eating one little bite at a time. When sitting down at the table, the slow eater takes his or her sweet time—and is always the last person to finish the meal. Slow eaters are usually people who like to be in control and know how to enjoy their life. They are also usually confident and even-keeled(稳重的). There are some health advantages of being slow eaters, for they usually have less energy intake(摄入), more easily get full and experience more enjoyable meals.
The Fast Eater
It is quite possible that you or someone else in your family fits the description of the fast eater—and if you grow up with a fast eater, you probably developed a habit of fighting for seconds. This person tends to barrel(快速行动)through meals, cleaning the plate before the rest of the table has finished even half of their meal. Away from the table, fast eaters tend to be ambitious and open to new experiences, but they probably may also be impatient.
The Adventurous Eater
An adventurer is always looking for the next gastronomic(美食的) adventure. When it comes to food, and probably other areas of life, this person is a thrill-seeker and a risk-taker. Being an adventurous eater shows one’s openness to trying new things outside of one’s comfort zone.
The Picky Eater
This person may never have grown out of their childhood likes and dislikes, or the tendency(倾向) to turn up his or her nose at an unfamiliar dishes. This eater can often be found asking a waiter if the dish can be served without sauce or with dressing on the side. And in other areas of life, these people appear to get sensitive( 敏感的) and anxious more easily than others.
