题目内容
13．After the examination，the doctor told my parents my sight would get worse and that I would lose my sight finally．On the way home from hospital，no one said a word．One day，would I only imagine the scenery beyond the glass rather than see it？That September，I entered middle school．Most nights I had homework that included an armful of books to read．To keep up with other children，I took great trouble to finish the task．With my nose a couple of inches from the page，I was tired easily．What's worse，after I had read several pages on my own，the words slipped off the page into inky pools．
However，then I did not have audio books and electronic devices like kids do now．Instead，Mom volunteered to read out loud．Mom worked part-time，cleaned the house，cooked and spent time with Grandma．In spite of being so busy，she showed up in my room like clockwork．She put on her reading glasses．Mom always thought those glasses made her look old．To me，she looked like a teacher．
In my room，Mom's voice competed with the ticking of the clock．Being forced to focus on listening，I found a way to keep my marks up and compete with the other kids．When the teacher asked a question，I raised my hand with confidence．Teachers praised me for having a good memory．Reading removed my fear for my failing sight，reading also made me curious about other people's challenges and how they managed．Though I could not use my eyes to fix on each page，my mind lit up with every new book．
True to what the doctor said，the worst came，but thanks to Mom，my sense of hearing now allows me to"see"．This was the most precious gift from a mother to her child．

2．Learning About Different Cultures
Most of us live in a multicultural surroundings these days．Culture can bring us together，but it can also be a cause of division．How does our own culture affect the way we view others？What steps can we take to minimize problems？
Once my friend，who is of Greek origin，went to Sweden on business．He was sent by the head office in the US to introduce a new computer program to their branch office in Sweden．This newly created software would cut production cost in half and speed up the time from planning to production by 30percent，as well as make the finished product look better．After presenting this program to the managers and directors，he waited for their feedback．At first it was quiet．Then，the general manager said，"Hmm，this looks good．"in a flat voice．"Hmm，I agree，"said another．My friend was in shock．Later on，when he told this to me，he said，"My mother used expressions such as‘Fabulous!'and‘Marvelous!'．These people were presented with a multibillion-dollar program，and all they could say was"Hmm．Good．I don't understand it!"
What was the problem？Culture．What is an acceptable way of expressing excitement and joy in one country is not the same in another．The Swedes were thrilled，and they thought it was a fantastic computer program．They just had a different way of showing it．
Another example：I remember my mother always telling me to look at her when she was talking to me，especially if it was something important．It was a way of showing that I was paying attention in a respectful way．Now，my friend from Nigeria told me that she never allows her children to look at her when she is talking．"I want them to respect me，"she says．Who is right？Both．That's the beauty of culture．There is no such thing as right or wrong，good or bad culture．
Of course，one has to take into consideration people living nearby．It is true that a person has to adjust to the country where he chooses to live．On the other hand，when people move into our country，we can make an effort to get to know their culture．Ask them about their country； ask them why they do certain things or wear different clothes．It can be quite interesting，actually．This doesn't mean we have to like it，or live our lives in their way．But knowledge can definitely lead to fewer disagreements and more understanding between people．
When culture is understood and used in an appropriate way，it can give a person a feeling of belonging and security．You know what to do in different situations．For example：at the time of birth and death．Let's give place to culture．Try to know and understand other people's culture，and also try to analyze our own．Let's choose our own way of life．Above all else---let's live in peace with all men!
