20．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 poud，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．Listn to them all，but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do．"

19．Luong Van Inh is among the Asians threatened by an environmental risk rarely considered：Indoor air pollution caused by burning wood，coal or other cheap fuels in kitchens．It kills about 1.5million people worlwide each year．
Up to 3billion people around the world depend on solid fuels such as wood，coal，crop waste or animal waste for indoor cooking and heating．The resulting smoke ranks as the fourth-biggest health risk in the poorest countries，yet it's not paid more attention to．One article stressed that improved stoves with chimneys could reduce exposure （暴露） to indoor smoke by 30percent to 50percent．
Even World Health Organization （WHO） was surprised by the problem．Earlier this year，the WHO for the first time studied the effects of indoor air pollution on health around the world．In 2002，nearly two-thirds of all global deaths linked to burning solid fuels were in the Asia-Pacific region．Afghanistan，Pakistan and Bangladesh had the highest percentage of death and disease linked to indoor air pollution in Asia，followed by India and Laos．Women and children are the hardest-hit because they're at home the most．Mothers in many developing countries cook with their babies tied to their backs．This affects only the poorest so it's easy for the decision-makers who no longer live in this type of community not to even see it．
Using improved stoves and cleaner fuels are the good ways to solve the problem，but cost remains a barrier．China started the world's largest stove modern-izing effort in the 1980s，handing out up to 180million new stoves，all with chimneys，over 15years．The driving force （原动力） was not health，but fuel efficiency （效率），as farmers were running out of cooking fuel．However，in the long run，they need to move to cleaner fuel．

18．If you are planning to learn a foreign language，here are some tips about learning language you can benefit from．
Try to set aside some time every day for your studies whe your brain is most receptive．It's better to study for 30minutes every day than for 3hours once a week．If you can spare two or three hours a day，break them up into some periods to avoid brain overload．
Go over each lesson several times，perhaps once in the morning，once in the evening and once several days later．Give your brain time to digest the material，but make sure the gaps between periods of studies are not too long or you will forget most of what you're trying to learn．Make sure you have mastered the contents of one lesson before moving on to the next．
Make sure you're comfortable with the basics of the language before learning the more advanced knowledge．It will take you some time to get used to the pronunciation and spelling of a new language，but without a solid understanding of these，you'll find it very difficult to learn more．
Setting reasonable targets is a good way to motivate yourself．You could set yourself a time limit or aim for a certain level of proficiency （精通）．
Once you have mastered the basics of the language，learn to apply them about the things that interest you．In this way you are more likely to remember the words，phrases and grammatical constructions you meet．
You will find that at times you're makin fairly rapid progress，while at other times you seem to stand still or even go backwards．This is normal when learning a language，so don't be discouraged．
Making mistakes in a foreign languag is nothing to worry about．What matters is getting your message across，not whether you use all the right words，tenses，cases，etc．If you cannot think of the exact words，try using other ones．

17．There is one holiday in the year which is completely American，Thanksgiving Day．It is the day when everyone goes back home to spend the day with his family，to have the traditional Thanksgiving dinner of roast turkey，to talk about old times．
This is a story of Thanksgiving Day and of one man's efforts，under rather special circumstances，to carry on these traditions．
Old Pete took his seat this day on his usual bench in Union Square．Every Thanksgiving Day for nine years，Pete had taken this same seat exactly at one o'clock，and each time the same pleasant thing had happened．But this time Pete had come here more from habit than from hunger．
Certainly today Pete was not hungry．He had just had a dinner so enormous that he could hardly breathe．The buttons on his ragged shirt and coat were about to burst．He was so full of soup，oysters，roast turkey，apple pie，ice cream，and a dozen other rich foods that the November breeze and the first light fall of snow felt cool and pleasant to his face．
The meal had been completely unexpected．He had been passing one of the large homes on Fifth Avenue，where there lived two rich old ladies．It seems that it was their custom each Thanksgiving to place a servant at the front entrance with orders to bring in the first hungry looking person that passed and then give him a Thanksgiving dinner of everything he could eat．On this particular Thanksgiving Day，Pete had passed，the servant had brought him in，and，before Pete knew it，he was being served like a king with more food than he could eat．
Pete sat on the bench now，hardly able to move．He happened to look to the left and there in the distance he saw the Old Gentleman coming toward him．He wanted to get up and run，but he was so full of food that he stayed right there．Every Thanksgiving Day for nine years，the Old Gentleman had come here，and found Pete on this same bench，and then taken him to a restaurant and bought him a Thanksgiving dinner．It was a kind of tradition which the Old Gentleman，who had no family and lived alone，had tried to continue．The old man was tall and thin and sixty years old．He was aristocratic looking and he always dressed in black．His hair was whiter and thinner than it had been the year before，and he leaned more heavily on his cane than he used to．
"How do you do!"said the Old Gentleman．"I am glad to see that the changes of another year have permitted you to move in health through this beautiful world．"
Each time the Old Gentleman had said exactly this same thing．It was part of the tradition．Old Pete，too，began to feel as though he himself was now a part of the tradition，and he therefore did not have the courage to tell the old man that he had already eaten．This dinner seemed to mean so much to the Old Gentleman．
"Thank you，sir，"said Old Pete at last．"I'll go with you gladly．I'm very hungry sir．"
Together the Old Gentleman and Pete walked south to the same restaurant where each year Pete had his Thanksgiving dinner．They sat at the same table．The Old Gentleman seemed pleased and happy．When the waiter brought dish after dish of food to Pete，the Old Gentleman sat quietly and smiled．Under the circumstance，Pete had to eat．It was part of the tradition，and so he ate like a hero．Soup，oysters，roast turkey，pie，he ate everything，although when he entered the restaurant even the smell of more food almost made him sick．At last Pete leaned back with the battle won．
"Thank you sir，"he said，with some effort，"for a fine dinner．"
They parted as they did each year at the door，the Old Gentleman going south，Pete north．
Around the corner，Pete stopped for a moment，felt a terrible pain in his stomach，then fell to the sidewalk unconscious．A little later an ambulance came．In the hospital they discovered that he had had an attack of indigestion．
An hour later，another ambulance brought the Old Gentleman to the same hospital．At first they thought it was also indigestion but later one of the nurses said，
"That nice old gentleman over there--you wouldn't think that it was a case of starvation．Proud old family，I suppose．He told me that he hadn't eaten a thing for three days．"
