4.Kenji Croman has broken his bones,his shoulder and elbow,and nearly drowned several times.He's also had three close encounters with sharks over the years.A 10-foot  wave landed directly on top of him five years ago,bending his body to the point that he  actually kicked himself in the head."I literally heard every bone in my body crack,"he said.
   Croman has been photographing ocean waves since 2008,sometimes risking his life to get that perfect shot at the surf break.Despite the risks and certain injuries that come with wave photography,the Hawaii resident,body surfer and former competitive swimmer wouldn't do anything else.The 36-year-old photographer loves the thrill of meeting breaking waves head on,shooting waves as his interest and shooting surfers to pay the bills.
   The process of photographing waves requires more than just swimming out to where the surf breaks and waiting,he says.The night before a photo shoot Croman checks Surfline.com,a website and the coastal camera network that provides live and predicted ocean weather  information,to see what the winds,waves and tide will be like at certain times.Croman has  both a primary camera and a backup for emergencies.He goes without a wetsuit and uses  heavy duty underwater housing to protect his camera.There is no great way for him to  protect himself.He admits there are probably protective clothes he should be wearing,but  there is little he could have done to decrease the impact of the lo-foot wave that crashed on  top of him.
   The hardest part of Croman's job is staying calm in the face of breaking waves when his  initial reaction is to panic and swim away.At most,Croman will take two to three shots of a  single wave."I've shot waves for so many years now that I see the wave in slow movement,"he said.

The easy way out isn’t always easiest. I learned that lesson when I decided to treat Doug, my husband of one month, to a special meal. I looked through my cookbook and chose a menu which included homemade bread. Knowing the bread would take time, I started on it as soon as Doug left for work. As I was not experienced in cooking, I thought if a dozen was good, two dozen would be better, so I doubled everything. As Dong loved oranges, I also opened a can of orange and poured it all into the bowl. Soon there was a sticky dough(面团)covered with ugly yellowish marks. Realizing I had failed, I put the dough in the rubbish bin outside so I wouldn't have to face Doug laughing at my work.

I went on preparing the rest of the meal, and, when Doug got home, we sat down to Cornish chicken with rice. He tried to enjoy the meal but seemed disturbed. Twice he got up and went outside, saying he thought he heard a noise. The third time he left, I went to the windows to see what he was doing. Looking out, I saw Doug standing about three feet from the rubbish bin, holding the lid up with a stick and looking into the container. When I came out of the house, he dropped the stick and explained that there was something alive in out rubbish bin. Picking up the stick again, he held the lid up enough for me to see. I felt cold. But I stepped closer and looked harder. Without doubt it was my work. The hot sun had caused the dough to double in size and the fermenting yeast (酵母)made the surface shake and sigh as though it were breathing. I had to admit what the 'living thing 'was and why it was there. I don't know who was more embarrassed by the whole thing--Doug or me?

10-year-old Mikaila Ulmer is building a lemonade empire, and hoping to save honey bees in the process! It all started when Mikaila was 4 years old and she was stung(叮)by a bee twice in one week! This caused her to become very scared whenever bees were near.

In order or help her deal with this new fear, MIkaila’s parents asked her to do some research on bees. She learned that bees are very important for flowers, gardens and trees as pollinators(传粉者). She also learned that they are dying at a rapid rate. In the past year, honey bee farmers have reported losing nearly 42% of their bees! Many believe that this could be due to the overuse of pesticides(杀虫剂), which can have many bad effects on bees.

This is what set her mind to create a product to help save bees. She decided she would sell lemonade and she started her company, BeeSweet Lemonade. Her special lemonade recipe came from her great-grandmother’s cookbook. She decided to add honey to it, instead of sugar, in order to call attention to the problems honey bees face. Mikaila sells lemonade almost every day at her lemonade stand! And she takes every opportunity to tell her customers about the problems facing honey bees.

What began as a small operation is starting to grow. BeeSweet is projected to sell almost 140,000 bottles of lemonade this year! BeeSweet lemonade can be found on the shelves at select Whole Foods Markets as well as many restaurants and other locations near her home in Austin, Texas.

I had started a small company several years ago. I worked hard to make it successful. It was a sign-making business. It was a small company, and it was private.

Still, I worked hard building up my business. I did not work only a few hours each day—no banker's hours for me. Instead I spent many hours each day, seven days a week, trying to grow the company. I never cut corners or tried to save on expenses. I made many cold calls. I called on possible buyers from a list of people I had never seen. Such calls were often hard sells.

Sometimes I sold my signs at a loss. I did not make money on my product. When this happened, there were cut backs. I had to use fewer supplies and reduce the number of workers. But after several years, the company broke even. Profits were equal to expenses. And soon after, I began to gain ground. My signs were selling very quickly. They were selling like hotcakes.

I was happy. The company was moving forward and making real progress. It was in the black, not in the red. The company was making money, not losing it.

My friend knew about my business. He is a leader in the sign-making industry—a real big gun, if you know what I mean. He offered to buy my company.

He offered me a ball park estimate of the amount he would pay to buy my company. But I knew his uneducated guess was low. My company was worth much more. That is, he asked his accountant to take a close look at the finances of my company and decide how much it was worth. Then my friend increased his offer.

My friend's official offer was finally given to me in black and white. It was written on paper and more than I ever dreamed. I was finally able to get a break. I made a huge profit on my company, and my friend also got a bang for the buck. He got a successful business for the money he spent.
