Risk Loving It  Do you know how it is when you want something so much it hurts? That's the way it was with me on my 11th birthday. 1 didn't know then that getting something doesn't mean it will always be yours.  It was a Saturday. Dad gave me $25 to buy my own birthday gift. While passing a pet shop, I found a little dog called Yorky. When he saw me he barked twice, pawing (挠) the window. I went inside and reached down to pet him; he licked (舔) my hand. I bought Yorky at once. Since then, Yorky followed me everywhere, often jumping up and down with excitement. I believed he was mine forever.  It happened in February. I was going home from school as usual, and I stopped three blocks away to whistle for Yorky. He didn't come. I whistled again. Then I began to run. I stopped before I got to the street in front of our house. I could see him lying still in the middle of the street on his side. I saw the tire marks. I knew he was dead.  Then I put all my energy into baseball. At least I was tired at night and could sleep without missing Yorky. One afternoon, I was halfway home when I noticed this thing following me. It was the funniest-looking dog you've ever seen.“Get away from me! 1 don't like dogs," I shouted. But for two days it kept showing up at my door. I began to feed it when Dad got home from work and said,“Go ahead. Risk loving it." Then 1 held the dog up in my arms and cried like a baby.1.

India's “Macaron (小圆饼) Queen”  Pooja was a young Indian woman. She opened her own macaron store a few years ago. She should have been a lawyer. But while studying law at university in Mumbai, she decided to quit. She wanted to do something more creative. She had helped her mother in the kitchen during her childhood, so she decided to work with food instead of legal cases.  Pooja persuaded her parents to let her go to Switzerland to study cooking and management. Returning to Mumbai upon graduation, she set to work in her parents' kitchen. She wanted to develop her own macaron recipe (配方). It took her around six months of research and 60 failed recipes to finally get something right.  When she had a recipe she was proud of, her businessman father agreed to put money into her business. Yet being both young and female, she faced challenges. “The biggest problem was to get people to take you seriously," she said.“For example, if I had to sign a lease (租约) for a place, or buy machinery, I would have to ask my father to make the phone calls for me.”  She named the business after "Le 15 Patisserie” in Paris, where she once lived. In Mumbai, very few people knew what a macaron was. People never tried one. Pooja decided to give away free samples. The cakes were immediately popular, and sales soon started to go up thanks to positive word of mouth.  Pooja also started running classes on how to make macarons and other cakes. This made the business better known. She even published a book on cooking. It became a best-seller in India. One newspaper article called her“the macaron queen of India.”1.
