Don't Put All Your Eggs in One Basket!
An English saying goes like this: do not put all your eggs in one basket. What it wants to reveal is that it is unwise to be totally dependent on one resource.
This proverb is applicable to our daily life. To begin with, having a plan B can help reduce the risks of unexpected and unaffordable results especially when it comes to important events. For example, if you want to be admitted in one college, then you should fill in the forms of several colleges not just the one you desire. In this way, there is a better chance for you to be admitted somehow. What's more, focusing on all the aspects at the same time contributes to a more balanced life. Suppose that a student only focuses on school sports or other curricular activity and neglect his school study, he is likely to end up being left behind in terms of academic career.
Therefore, it is unadvisable to put everything on a single venture. Having a backup plan, though costly sometimes, could save a lot of headaches and even be a life saver.

Part IV Translation
The Chinese buzzwords usually reflect the social changes and cultures, some of which are increasingly popular with the foreign media. Tuhao and dama, for instance, are both old words, but they acquire new meanings now.
The word tuhao used to mean rural landlords who oppress their tenants and servants, while now it refers to people spending money without limits or those showing off the wealth. That is to say, tuhao owns money rather than taste. The word dama is used to describe the middle-aged women. However, it is regarded as a special word to call those Chinese women who rushed to purchase a lot of gold when the gold price slumped sharply not long ago. Tuhao and dama may be included in the new version of Oxford English Dictionary. Up to now, about 120 Chinese words have been added to it, becoming a part of the English language.
