On April 6, the 19-year-old boy was the most popular on the online reality show Idol Producer(《偶像练习生》). Cai and another eight young men who were chosen from 100 young people will form a band called Nine Percent. To many people, Cai is lucky to be able to start his dream at such a young age. But he had to face many challenges. Cai has enjoyed singing and dancing since he was quite young. When he was in primary school, Cai was chosen to form TFboys. At 13, Cai started to appear on shows, as well as on TV and in movies. However, as his career was beginning, Cai's parents sent him to the United States to study music. When Cai came back to China four years later, he started his dream by appearing on another reality show called Super Idol. He was a winner on the show and went on to become a member of a group called SWIN. But last year, Cai decided to end his contract(合约) with the group, claiming he had been treated unfairly. He became involved in a long-lasting lawsuit(官司). Although he faces many difficulties, Cai remains positive. "A man has to experience more before he becomes really powerful," he said. He sees his win at Idol Producer as a new beginning. "I'll try to forget the ups and downs of the past," he said. "This is where my dream really starts. " |

Did you ever wonder how some of your favorite foods, products or toys came about? Believe it or not, they may have been an accident, or a failure of some other intention. Below, we found three mistakes we're thankful for turned out to be what they are.
1. Most historians hold that the Chinese invented fireworks in the 9th century when they discovered how to make gunpowder. Story has it that a Chinese cook accidentally mixed together what were then considered common kitchen items and noticed they burnt. When put tightly in a bamboo tube and lit, it blew up.
2. In May of 1886, a law led John Pemberton, a pharmacist(药剂师), to rewrite the formula(配方) for "Pemberton's French Wine Coca", his popular headache treatment. Containing sugar instead of wine as a sweetener, the outcome became something for Coke, which was later mixed with carbonated(碳酸) water. His bookkeeper suggested the name Coca-Cola because he thought the two C's would look good together, which is how what we call Coca-Cola, a world-wide drink came into being.
3. During World WarⅡ, scientists at the University of Birmingham invented the magnetron(磁控管)—an important heat-producing part of the microwave oven. While working for Raytheon Corporation after the war, the American engineer Percy Spencer was testing the magnetron when a chocolate bar in his pocket melted. He went on to test other foods including popcorn kernels(仁), and found it to be a much more efficient way to cook. In 1947 Raytheon came out with the first restaurant microwave oven, which was six feet tall and weighed 750 lbs.
