1、 1. A person who believes in himself will keep trying to reach his goal no matter how many times he fails. In my opinion, the quality of determination to succeed is an important one to have.
Therefore, I believe that we should never give up.
One reason is that if we give up too easily, we will rarely achieve anything. If we always give up when we fail, we will not be able to develop new skills and grow.
2. Another reason we should never give up is that we can learn from our mistakes only if we make a new effort. If we do not try again, the lesson we have learned is wasted.

25、Amos Dudley, a 24-year-old boy who studies digital design at New Jersey University of Technology, felt ashamed about his teeth. But being a student, Dudley didn’t have the money to get braces(牙箍). So, he decided to
3-D print his own and marked down the DIY project in a recent blog post. His braces totaled less than $60, and after wearing them for 16 weeks, his teeth are also getting straighter.
Months ago, he mentioned on his blog that he avoided smiling for a while because he was unhappy with his teeth.
However, clear braces can get pricey, costing up to $8,000. But after studying some images of these expensive clear braces, something comes up on him--they looked like that one which can come from a 3-D printer.
So he decided to hit up his school’s 3-D printing equipment and scanned and printed models of his teeth. He
then made non-harmful plastic molds (模子) around them to make 12 sets of braces.
Dudley, who does not recommend attempting any of this at home said that he didn’t ask a dentist for his project. But the student did get information from journal articles and textbooks. And though this was a perfectly
friendly choice to buy braces. He didn’t accept the project just to save money--he was also up for the challenge. “When I realized that I could do something that was a little bit special, while proving my skills as a designer
and a maker, and fixing something that was making me self-conscious for actually free, I felt it was more than worth the risk.” he said.

26、 Do you like chocolate? It’s popular all over the world, but why? Scientists are trying to discover its secrets.
The main thing is that chocolate makes us happy. This may have something to do with the 380 known chemicals(化学物质)which are found in it. The problem is that many of these chemicals appear in other types of food too. So, it’s difficult to know why the ones in chocolate make us feel good. But we aren’t all lost. A scientist found that chocolate makes the human brain(大脑)produce natural opiates(麻醉剂), called options. These can stop pain and make us feel good.
Others think that we feel good after eating chocolate because of a chemical called anandamide(大麻素). This appears naturally in the brain and seems to give us a feeling of happiness. Normally, our levels of anandamide are very low and our body uses it quickly. But two scientists believe that the anandamide in chocolate raises levels of the chemical in our brain. And other substances(物质)in chocolate slow down the speed at which we use the chemical. So, chocolate helps us feel happier for longer!
But which chocolate is the best? Well, for a start, there’s more anandamide in dark chocolate than milk chocolate. So, you need to buy some dark chocolate. Then, you should follow these five tips(窍门儿)from connoisseur(鉴赏家)chocolate makers Ghirardeli. They say that when choosing chocolate, you need to use all five senses.
Sight: good chocolate has a shine to it.
Smell: rub(摩擦)the chocolate with your finger to release(释放出)the aroma (芳香).
It should have a deep chocolate smell.
Sound: when you break a piece of chocolate it should snap(断裂)crisply(清脆地).
Touch: the chocolate should melt (融化)easily in your mouth and become a thick liquid.
Taste: good chocolate should not taste too sweet or too bitter. So, why don’t you go out to buy some chocolate and put it to the test?
