When an earthquake hit a small town, many houses fell down．After the earthquake, all the newspapers reported many stories about some of the families who were in trouble．
One Sunday, when I was reading a newspaper, a special picture touched(触动)me．It gave the clothing sizes of each family member．I thought that this would be a good chance to teach my children to help those who were less lucky than themselves．I said to my seven-year-old twins, Brad and Brett, and three-year-old Meghan．“We have so much, and these poor people now have nothing．We'll share what we have with them．”
I filled a box with foods and clothes．While I was doing this, I encouraged the boys to choose their toys and donate some of their less favourite things．Meghan watched quietly as the boys took out their old toys and games and put them together．Then she walked away．A few minutes later she came back with Lucy, her much-loved doll．She put the doll on top of the other toys．“Oh, dear,”I said．“You don't have to give Lucy．You love her so much．Meghan said,“Lucy makes me happy, Mommy．Maybe she'll make another little girl happy, too．”
I looked at Meghan for a long moment．She taught me a lesson．It's easy to give something that we don't want any more, but harder to give what we cherish(珍爱), isn't?

In the Caucasus Mountains, nearly 50 out of every 100,000 people live to celebrate their 100th birthday, and many don't stop at 100! In American only 3 people in 100,000 reach 100．But these old people aren't alone．The people who live high in the Himalaya Mountains and the Andes Mountains, seem to share(分享)the secret of long life, too．
First of all, hard physical(体力的)work is a way of life for all of these long-lived people．They begin their long days of physical work as children and never seem to stop．For example, Mr．Rustam is 142 years of age．He has experienced several wars．His wife if 116 years old．They have been married for 90 year．Mr．Rustam doesn't want to stop his work as a farmer, “Why? What else would I do?” He asks．Oh, he has slowed down a bit, Now he might work for 6 hours in the field instead of 10．
Another factor(因素)that may contribute to the good health of these people is their isolation．Most of them are kept off the modern world．
Inherited(遗传的)factors also help．Most of the longest-lived people had parents and grandparents who also reached very old ages．So good family genes(基因)may be one factor in living longer．
Finally, although these three groups don't eat exactly the same food, they eat little animal meat．Their diets are full of fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, cheese and milk, They never eat more food than body need．

“Time is a problem for children,”says a news report for a new Swiss watch．Children in some countries“learn time slowly”because“they don't wear watches”and“parents don't really know how to teach them time．”The children grow up with this handicap and become adults and then can't get to work on time．Is there an answer to this problem?

Dear Annie,
I have never written a letter to a newspaper before, I have just never felt the need to do such a thing．I have always felt I was quite able to do everything by myself．But now I know I was wrong．
Sometimes you really need help in life, I guess．And that's why I'm writing this letter to you．
I have a happy family．I love my children and they love me．I'm a mother of three children．I know well how to bring up(带大)children, and two of them are already over twenty, so it is nothing new for me．
But now I have a serious problem：the Internet problem．My little son is just sixteen, and I feel he should do a lot of homework now, but he doesn't seem to be interested in it．He can happily spend six or eight hours at a time on the Tnternet every day, He chats with pelple that he has never met before, but speaks little to us．He does lots of useless things on the Internet．And he sees red if you ask him to do his homework．
I just want him to be a good student．Now he seldomdoes his lessons at home．I'm afraid he will drop behind in his class soon．His father is a doctor, a very kind man．He never seems to be afraid of his father．
What can I do, And don't tell to talk to him．We've tried that and it didn't work．But this is really a big problem in our family．I have tried everything I can think of．I wonder how the Internet is so attractive(有吸引力的)．You're my last hope．Please tell me what I can do!
Yours,
Ellen Smith
