Depending on yourself
Growing up is not always easy .When we face difficulties ,a spirit of depending yourself is more useful than crying for help .That ‘s what Hong Zhanhui’s story of growing from boy to man with family hardship tells us .
Hong was born in 1982 in a poor family in Xihua county (县),henan Province .When he was only 11,his father became badly ill and one day he came back with an unwanted baby girl .A year later Hong’s mother left home . She no longer wanted to live such a poor life and face her sick hus-band .So everything hard fell on to the young boy’s shoulders :to take care of his father and the sister Chenchen ,and to go on to study .
Although his life was hard ,Hong didn’t go away from hisfather and sister .He worked in part-time jobs to feed his family .He climbed tall trees to get birds’eggs for his sister .He walked two hours at weekends to the market to buy different things to sell around his school .A few years later ,he studied at a sollege .To take care of Chenchen ,he worked hard to rent a room near his college for her ,and send her to school .
After Hong’s story went public ,he became a hero in people’s eyes .But Hong refused offers-from others .He sard he felt encouraged by kind offers ,but he could depend on his own work .
Though his hard life ,he has grown up from boy to man .

My nine-year-old daughter, Maria, is in Year Four. Every evening we get into homework battles(争执). Three afternoons a week, she has activities(netball, singing) after school and by the time we get home early, we argue(争论) about whether she should do her homework right after school, or if she should have some time to rest and play first. When Maria at last sits down to do her homework, she seems to want me there helping all the time, I do want to help her, but I’m sure that she is going to need to be able to do it on her own. And in fact, most of the time, I have other things I need to be doing. It seems that children these days have much more homework than we did, and some of it is really beyond(超越) their abilities(能力). As you can see, I’m really worried about homework and I really don’t know what I should do. Any ideas?

Reader’s Digest is a monthly magazine. Before the 1980s, it belonged to a privately held company, which was started in 1922 by Lila Bell Wallace and Dewitt Wallace. This magazine is small and easy to carry, it’s just half the size of most American magazines, which caused a phrase in 2005, “America in your pocket”. It is the best selling magazine in the USA. At present, its circulation in the USA has reached 10 million copies and the number of the readers there is 38 million. Outside the USA, another 40 million people throughout more than 70 countries also read this magazine in 21 languages.
This magazine’s focus is not news but more of cultural views because the editors think people now can get timely news from somewhere else such as TV and newspaper. They hope this magazine can give readers something that is about special personal experiences, or something the readers can share with their families. In different countries, this magazine provides a window to the world for the local readers. Some parts of the magazine are about the local customs and interests of the local readers. The other parts give the local readers information from all over the world.
This magazine actually used to be a public business until the Wallaces died in the 1980s. Because they had no children, there was no one to take over the company. Sixteen years ago, this company went public and became a public company.

Reading newspapers has become an important part of everyday life. Some people read newspapers as the first thing to do in the morning; others read newspapers as soon as they have free time during the day so that they can learn what is happening in the world. Sometimes, we do not have enough time to read all the news carefully, so we just take a quick look at the front page. At other times, we may be in such a hurry that we only have a few minutes to look at the headlines of the passages.
Newspapers can be found everywhere in the world. We can get many different kinds of newspapers in big cities, but in some mountain villages we can see few newspapers. Some newspapers are published once a week, but most of the papers are published once a day with many pages, some even published twice a day. You know different people enjoy reading different newspapers. Some like world news and others prefer short stories. They just choose what they are interested in.
