19．When I was about 12，I had an enemy，a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings（缺点）．Week by week her list grew：I was very thin，I wasn't a good student，I talked too much，I was too proud，and so on．I tried to hear all this as long as I could．At last，I became very angry．I ran to my father with tears in my eyes．
He listened to me quietly，then he asked．"Are the things she says true or not？Janet，didn't you ever wonder what you're really like？Well，you now have that girl's opinion．Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true．Pay no attention to the other things she said．"
I did as he told me．To my great surprise，I discovered that about half the things were true．Some of them I couldn't change （like being very thin），but a good number I could-and suddenly I wanted to change．For the first time I go to fairly clear picture of myself．
I brought the list back to Daddy．He refused to take it．"That's just for you，"he said．"You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself．But you have to learn to listen，not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt．When something said about you is true，you'll find it will be of help to you．Our world is full of people who think they know your duty．Don't shut your ears．Listen to them all，but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do．"
Daddy's advice has returned to me at many important moments．In my life，I've never had a better piece of advice．

16．The widespread number of food scandals （丑闻） in China is making many people pause before they put their chopsticks in their mouth．They are wondering if the food they are eating is clean，healthy and nutritious or does it contain something harmful that will cause disease？
Most of the food we eat today is processed food（加工食品）．That means the foods we buy in stores and supermarkets，especially packaged foods，are prepared in factories．Chemicals are
added to the foods in these factories to make them look better，taste better and last longer on the shelf．The chemicals are supposed to be harmless and there are laws that regulate which chemicals can and cannot be used．Unfortunately，some producers do not obey the laws．
A producer of steamed buns （馒头） in Zhejiang Province was recently discovered to be breaking the law．He was adding yellow dye （染色） and other banned （被禁止的） chemicals to the buns．He was also taking old buns and using th em to make new buns．Most of the buns were sold to schools and eaten by students…like you！
Why did he do it？Why did he break the law and endanger people's health？The answer is simple：he wanted to make more money．It was a moral failing，and this is at the heart of the food scandals in China．Too many people focus on making money and not on the effects their actions can have on others．

13．Fire ants（火蚁） are famous for their construction projects （as well as their burning bites）．When they need to，colonies of these insects turn themselves into ladders，chains and walls．And when flood water rises，a colony can float to safety by making an unusual boat．The ants hold tightly to each other，forming a floating disk atop the water．The antraft may float for months seeking safe harbor．The ants on the bottom don't drown，and the ants on the top stay dry．Working together，the ants float to safety---even though a single ant alone in the water will struggle to survive．
"They have to stay together as a colony to survive．"Nathan Mlot said．
Fire ants and water don't mix．The ant's hard outer shell，naturally repels water．A drop of water can sit on top of the ant like a backpack．When an ant does end up underwater，tiny hairs on its body can trap bubbles of air that give the bug a boost up （托起）．
To investigate the science behind the antraft，the scientists placed hundreds or thousands of ants at a time in the water．A group of ants took about 100seconds，on average，to build a raft．The researchers repeated the experiment multiple times．Each time，the ants organized themselves the same way，creating a raft were flexible and strong，staying together even when the researchers pushed the rafts underwater．
The scientists then froze the rafts in liquid nitrogen and studied them under powerful microscopes to figure out how the ants kept everyone safe and the water out．
The team found that some ants used their jaws to bite other ants'legs．Other ants joined their legs together．Thanks to these tight bonds，say the scientists，the ants did a better job at keeping the water away than any one ant could do on its own．By working together，thousands of ants can stay alive in the face of a crisis like a flood by using their own bodies to build a boat．

1．Every culture has its own unwritten list of behavior that is acceptable．Every society also has its taboos，or types of behavior that are considered a violation （违反） of good manners．
