Jason
What I like best is seeing Arsenal win and playing football. If I am feeling sad I will play a football game on my Play Station 2. The best day I have ever had was when I finished first in the 800-metre race at my secondary school. It was a school record, although I didn’t know that at the time. My family makes me happy, too.
Antonio
My little sister makes me sad because she always tells tales on me to my mum. If I am having a bad day, food cheers me up. I like chili con carne and sweet chili crisps. It makes me happy because I want to be big and have lots of energy.
Usman
I haven’t done anything very exciting in my life but one of my best achievements is that I got a good report from my school this year, because last year I got a bad one. People on TV make me laugh, particularly Eddie Murphy. If I am having a bad day I watch Basil Brush. I am good at making other people happy. I just talk and my friends start laughing — they think I am silly.
Ashleigh
If I’m having a bad day, knowing that someone is there for me can make me happy. I wouldn’t say I’m the best at making other people happy, but I know that just being a good friend to other people is important. The things I like doing are singing, dancing, hanging out with my friends and just being lively and funny.
Kinzey
The most exciting thing I have ever done in my life was when I went abseiling in Wales. But that was a one-off. The things I do all the time are playing football, watching movies and going places with my friends. I know it sounds bad, but what I find funny is when people hurt themselves. If I am having a bad day and I see someone having a worse day than me, that makes me feel better.

The secret of success

Since 1989, Dave Thomas, who died at age 69,was one of the most recognizable faces on TV. He appeared more than 800 commercials for the hamburger chain named for his daughter. "As long  as it works,” he said in 1991,"I'll continue to do those commercials."

Even though he was successful,Thomas remained troubled by his childhood. "He still won't let anyone see his feet, which are out of shape because he has never had proper-fitting shoes,” Wendy said in 1993 and told us that sixty-one years ago,Dave Thomas was born to a single mother, he was adopted as a baby by Rex and Auleva, Thomas of Kalamazoo in Michigan when he was six weeks old. After Auleva died when he was 5,Thomas spent years on the road as Rex traveled around seeking con­struction work. "He fed me," Thomas said, "and if I got out of line,he'd beat me." "When I found out I was (adopted),  I didn't want to talk about it,and as I talked to people I grew older… I got really a lot of encouragement" When he was 12 years old, Thomas started working at a barbecue(烧烤)restaurant in Knoxville,Tenne. Moving out on his own at 15, Thomas worked, first as a waiter, in many restaurants. But he had something much better in mind. “I thought if I owned a restaurant,” he said,"I could eat for free." When he was 24, meeting with Harland Sanders who led Thomas to a career as a manager of a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant ,where he became a million­aire in 1968.

A year later, after breaking with Sanders, Thomas started the first Wendy's Old Fashioned Hamburgers,in Columbus,Ohio,which set itself apart by serving made-to-order burgers. With

6,000 restaurants worldwide,the chain now makes $ 6 billion a year in sales. Although troubled by his own experience with an adoption,Thomas,married since 1954 to Lorraine, 66, and with four grown kids besides Wendy,felt it could offer a future for other children. He started the Dave Thomas Foundation for adoption in 1992. Later,Thomas,who had left school at 15,graduated from Coconut Great High School in Florida. He even took Lorraine to the graduation dance party. The kids vot­ed him "Most likely to succeed". Thomas is survived by his wife of 47 years,Lorraine,five children and 16 grandchildren. His foundation helps raise awareness for the 134000 foster(收养的) children available for adoption,and helps make adoption more afford­able. "The Dave you saw on TV was the real Dave," said his friend Pat Williams. "He wasn't a great actor or a great speaker." He was just Joe for everybody."
