she was 13,her company was worth millions of dollars with the invention of a super-sweet treat that could save kids’ teeth,instead of destroying them.It all began when Moore visited a bank with her dad.On the outing,she was offered a candy bar.However,her dad reminded her that sugary treats were bad for her teeth.But Moore was sick of missing out on candies.So she desired to get round the warning,“Why can’t I make a healthy candy that’s good for my teeth so that my parents can’t say no to it?” With that in mind,Moore asked her dad if she could start her own candy company.He recommended that she do some research and talk to dentists about what a healthier candy would contain.With her dad’s permission,she spent the next two years researching online and conducting trials to get a recipe that was both tasty and tooth-friendly.She also approached dentists to learn more about teeth cleaning.Consequently,she succeeded in making a kind of candy only using natural sweeteners,which can reduce oral bacteria.Moore then used her savings to get her business off the ground.Afterwards,she and her father secured their first business meeting with a supermarket owner,who finally agreed to sell Moore’s product—CanCandy.As CanCandy’s success grows,so does Moore’s credibility as a young entrepreneur.Moore is enthusiastic about the candy she created,and she’s also positive about what the future might bring.She hopes that every kid can have a clean mouth and a broad smile.Meanwhile,with her parents’ help,Moore is generally able to live a normal teenage life.Although she founded her company early on in life,she wasn’t driven primarily by profit.Moore wants to use her unique talent to help others find their smiles.She donates 10% of AilieCandy’s profits to Big Smiles.With her talent and determination,it appears that the sky could be the limit for Alice Moore.【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Alice Moore,一个年轻有为的创业者的故事,故事告诉我们:积极的思考和行动会带来成功。1.How did Moore react to her dad’s warning?A.She
