Alejandro Buxton’s candle business started with a headache.The 12-year-old’s mom
suffers from allergies，and something in their house was causing her head to hurt.After going to
the hospital，they discovered the cause of the headache：the candles.His mom had no choice but
to get rid of the scented(有香味的) items.
However，he knew his mother really loved candles.To lift her spirits，he set up a lab in the
family’s kitchen in the fall of 2019 and made a candle using only natural ingredients，such as soy
and coconut waxes( 蜡 ) and essential oils.Chemicals in her old candles were causing the
headaches.He named his first product Jurassic Orange，which is similar to the fruit in color and
smell.Jurassic Orange was a hit with his mom ，whose headaches disappeared.But Alejandro
wasn’t done experimenting.Within a few months，he had about six scents，including Chunky
Sweaters and Cozy Socks，which smells like a fruit drink mixed with a pine forest.
In September 2020，he put his first collection of candles on Etsy，the online marketplace
that specializes in handmade goods.He also sold candles at seasonal markets，such as the one in
downtown D ． C.where the vice president was shopping for holiday gifts last year.He
recommended two candles to the vice president.She took some of his advice.
Jesse Benites，general manager of a big shopping mall，said the vice president’s visit
“skyrocketed” Alejandro’s fame.A senior manager contacted Alejandro and invited him to rent
one of the 12 retail carts at the mall.On September 1,2022，Smell of Love Candles opened on the
second level of the shopping center.Alejandro is the mall’s youngest business owner.Inside the
mall，Alejandro turned a large room into his production facility，where he and his staff make 600
to 700 candles a week.There were altogether 25 scents on the shelf.He continued to make new
scents and wanted to see all his candles in every single household and love and joy come into the
houses.
Alejandro’s candle business makes a good profit，but for him，the money he earned is not
just for his own college fund but for local charities.语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了12岁的少年亚历杭德罗·巴克斯顿做蜡烛生

An important life lesson that I’ve drawn from running is to run at my own pace.It has guided me
in many ways.In particular，it made me challenge the fixed expectations of retirement and aging.
Running is a metaphor(隐喻) for life.I realized this while training for a marathon to celebrate
my 60th birthday.All the other runners being faster than me made me embarrassed.But my coach
shared some valuable advice：run at your own best pace.Setting a goal or target time could be a
limitation.He was right.Over time，I ran more easily and faster.I also enjoyed the experience much
more.
I have applied this principle to other areas of my life.Finding a rhythm is not about efficiency
or how many things I can get done in a day.It has more to do with what I decide to do at this stage
in my life.
Running carries its own set of expectations，including what it means to be a strong runner.But
expectations also extend to other areas of life，including what people at certain life stages should
be doing or not doing.Expectations at my age can center on how leisure time is spent，decisions
about employment，and even the role of a grandmother.
I used to think it was young people who bore peer pressure，but it’s easy to view retirement
as another occupation with benchmarks(基准) to be met.We often make what someone else does
the reference point.It’s a comparison trap.
Forget what others are doing.Their pace is not necessarily the pace you should run at.Run in
your own way.It’s not better or worse—only different.
