A 阅读提示:在烟台大学餐厅工作的吴明华等七位保洁员经常发现学生浪费粮食的现象很严重,于是他们就将学生吃剩的饭菜作为自己的午餐,他们用行动将“杜绝浪费、厉行节约”的风气吹向社会。

Can you imagine a person who was illiterate until 96 and then wrote his first book two years later? This is a real story that happened in America.
James Arruda Henry,a retired fisherman from Connecticut,had his first book come out with the name In a Fisherman s Language recently. Henryk father made him leave school in the third grade so that he could help with some farm work. After that,he didn't study until he was 96. During his long life,he used to be a captain,a carpenter and a fisherman. However,no one knew he didn't know any word until he finished his first book.
A book written by a 98-year-old man moved him. The author couldn’t read or write,either. Then James made a decision to follow that man. He quietly began to practice writing at the dining table. The start was rather difficult for an old man,but James never gave it up. After tiring months? he succeeded in finishing his first book. From his earliest life on his grandfather's farm to his daily life today,in this book James shows what his life means to him —success should belong to a person at any age.
