My friend’s grandfather came to America from a farm in Thailand. After arriving in New York, he went into a cafeteria (自助餐厅) in Manhattan to get something to eat.He sat down at a table and waited for someone to take his order(点菜). Of course nobody did. Finally, a woman with a plate full of food sat down opposite him and told him how a cafeteria worked.

“Start out at the end,” she said, “Just go along the line and choose what you want. At the other end they’ll tell you how much you have to pay.”

“I soon learned how everything works in America.” the grandfather told my friend. “Life is like a cafeteria here. You can get anything you want only if you are willing to pay the money. You can even get success, but you’ll never get it if you wait for someone to bring it to you. You have to get up and get it by yourself.”

Mike Myers is a teacher at Chauncey Rose High School in Terre Haute, Indiana. Last year, he taught his students about the world's rainforests. They learned that rainforests are important because the plants and animals of the rainforest give us food, wood, and medicine.

Destruction of the world's rainforests is a serious problem. Unluckily, rainforests are disappearing at a rate of 80 acres per minute! As part of a class project! Myers' students bought three acres of rainforest in Central America. They paid $ 25 per acre. The students hope that the land they bought will be protected and not destroyed. The students became so interested in rainforests that they decided to get a closer look at a real rainforest.

So last June, Myers and four of his students took a boat ride down a river. They saw alligators and crocodiles. In the middle of the week, a guide took Myers and his students into the rainforest. The monkeys were not happy that we were in their forest. They broke small branches off the trees and threw them at us," one of the students said. "It was a great learning experience for all of us," said Myers.

Each student chose something specific about Costa Rica to study involving the plants, animals, food, and culture. During the last few days the group had time to do fun activities They went whitewater rafting and horseback riding, and visited Costa Rica's active volcano
