1．Friendship is something that everyone needs.Success is nothing without friends.You share life，happiness and sadness.A friend is someone you can depend on in a time of need and that can trust you with every secret he or she has.
   So，what happens when a friendship of eight years is broken over something out of their control？Does that mean it was never a true friendship to begin with？
   My friend and I met in high school and have known each other for nearly eight years.What happened recently broke our lifelong friendship.
   This makes me think about what friendship really means.I always thought my friend and I could get through any argument，fight，or the sadness of life.We promised each other we'd always be friends，through thick and thin.We even joked about how we would sit in a circle and laugh at some jokes when we had grandchildren.We always laughed at every little thing.
   But then her grandfather passed away （去世） and suddenly our friendship was nothing.It happened so suddenly that I never found out about it until I discovered a note she had written on the Internet.I was sad and hurt that she would post （發(fā)帖子） what I told her for other people to see.I understand that she was sad and wanted to vent （發(fā)泄） her sadness，but I wish she'd kept everything between us.
   I don't understand why she broke our friendship，and I don't think I ever will.I think friendship means we'll always forgive each other for our mistakes.I hope that finally I'll find that true friend who will always be there for me，and I there for her.

3．    It is the eighth time this summer that Guo Xiunan has failed to grow vegetables without chemical pesticides（殺蟲劑）.After trying various homemade bug sprays（噴劑），such as plant ash，mixtures of pepper，vinegar，alcohol and water，there are still lots of holes in the leaves chewed by beetles.
    "I will not give up trying and I will go on with my experiments，" the 29-year-old engineer-turned-farmer says.
    Covering 0.67 hectares（公頃） of farmland and 1.33 hectares of woodland and wetland，his farm is located in the suburbs of Hefei，East China's Anhui province.He is trying to turn it into an organic farm，growing fruits and vegetables with the same flavor of those from his childhood memories."Growing tasty and health y food has been my dream since I was a teenager.I know how difficult it can be，but if you take the soil seriously，I believe it will pay off，"Guo says.
    He adds that farming is not a business that can make money in a short time，but for him，it became an urgent issue when his father suffered stomach cancer last year，ringing an alarm bell over food safety.Recalling spending time on the farm with his parents as a child，Guo believes the overuse of chemicals in farming is not only damaging the soil，but also people's health.
    After investing more than 100，000 yuan （＄13，700）since he rented the farmland last year，and reading many books on agriculture，Guo is in the early stages of fighting the various challenges through trial and error.Meanwhile，he has to develop marketing channels for his products.In March，he uploaded his first post on short-video platform Douyin to introduce his business.His account now has nearly 6，000 followers，which is way above his expectations.
    "Maybe it is because I've realized their dream life，one that they dare not pursue，"Guo says.
