(C) That is not possible
(D) That way is all wrong
There is more and more food delivery now. We can see a lot of delivery people on the road. It is convenient
for us. When we don't want to go out, we can use an App to order the meal. However, it is not an easy job.
Delivery people have to deliver the food on time, or customers may get mad. If it happens, they will leave bad
comments on the App. Then the boss would deduct delivery people's money.
Three months ago, I became one of them. One day, it was raining heavily. People didn't want to go out, so
we got a lot of orders. It took us more time to deliver the food on a rainy day. Some people got angry because we
were late. However, there were other things making us late for the next delivery. It was not our fault!
We don't want to be late, so we ride fast. Some of us even have car accidents. No one wants to make people
angry and get bad comments. If people can be friendlier to us, maybe some accidents will not happen. However,
many of them don't understand it is not an easy job. They only care about their food.

Some parents are always comparing their children with themselves when they were young, or with other
people when they were children.
“When I was your age,” a father said to his sixteen-year-old son one day, “I was at the top of my class every
year. And I knew what I wanted to do when I left school. I had goals. You are always at the bottom of your class,
and you have no goals.”
The man’s son said nothing. He had heard this from his father many times.
“And when your mother was your age,” the young man’s father went on, “she had a good job and she was
earning money. You don’t even have a part-time job. You earn nothing.”
The man’s son still said nothing. He had heard this before, too. “And when your older brother was your
age,” the young man’s father went on, “he studied hard. You just waste your time.”
And the man’s son still said nothing.
Finally, the young man’s father said, “And when Abraham Lincoln was your age, he worked all day and
studied at night.” This time the son could not stay silent.
“And when Abraham Lincoln was your age, father,” he said. “He was the President of the United States.
What are you?”
His father had no answer to this.
