1,009 rejections
Once there was an old man, who was broke, living in a tiny house and owned a beat-up car. He was living off $99 Social Security checks. At 65, he decided that things had to change. So he thought about what he had to offer. His friends talked about his chicken recipe. He decided that this was his best shot at making a change.
He left Kentucky and traveled to different states to try to sell his recipe. He offered the recipe to them for free, just asking for a small percentage for the items sold. Sounds like a good deal, right? Unfortunately, not to most of the restaurants.
He heard NO over 1,000 times. Even after all of those rejections, he didn't give up. He believed his chicken recipe was something special. He got rejected 1,009 times before he heard his first YES.
With that one success, Colonel Harland Sanders changed the way Americans eat chicken. Kentucky Fried Chicken, popularly known as KFC, was born.

参考范文
The story tells us how the founder of KFC made his chicken recipe accepted. At 65, Colonel was not content with relying on the Social Security checks to live life. Motivated by his friends, he decided to sell
his chicken recipe. He was rejected constantly, but he didn't throw in the towel. Instead, he kept trying. Finally, his efforts paid off. After being turned down 1,009 times, he received the first YES.
It was his persistence that made KFC known to everyone and so popular around the world. Likewise, in life, no matter how terrible the situation is, we shouldn't give up hope easily. When faced with difficulties, we should keep positive and try to overcome them until we succeed someday. With the never-give-up attitude, we are the winners in life. As teenage students, in the process of growth, we will meet with some challenges. So long as we face them bravely and take measures to improve ourselves, we will surely succeed in solving them and become the person who we wish to be.
Remember that never give up and always believe in yourself in spite of difficulties and challenges.

读下面一则故事,写一篇对这则故事的思考(reflection)。
The donkey
One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally he thought the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.
He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement, he quieted down. A few shovels of dirt later, the farmer finally looked down the well,and was astonished at what he saw.
With every shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing
something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up.
As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted off!
答案全解全析 实战演练
The story is about a donkey falling into a well. When the owner decided to give him up and cover up the well with dirt, the donkey was very frightened at first, but he calmed down very soon. With every shovel of dirt hitting his back, he shook the dirt off and took a step up. Finally, he succeeded in getting out of the well.
In the story, the donkey faces the trouble positively. He even considers it a stepping stone. It is the positive attitude that makes him succeed. In life, we should learn the optimistic attitude from the donkey. Faced with trouble, we should calm down as soon as possible, and try to find effective ways to get rid of it. Even if we can't make it in a short time, we shouldn't give up easily.
Similarly, as students, when we come across some challenges in study, we should keep positive and make efforts to solve them instead of escaping from them. Only when we go through some hardships, can we become more independent and stronger.
