There was a rich man who carried many treasures to look into happiness. But after a long march, he fails to find happiness. Annoyed, he sat by a path of the mountain while a farmer carrying a large bunch of firewood came down from the mountain. The rich man said, “I'm a wealth man. Can you tell me that why I'm unhappy?” The farmer put down the heavy firewood, wiped the sweat pleasant and said, “Happiness is very simple: put down and you'll be happy!” The rich man inspired suddenly. Anxious and tiring all day, he carried that heavy jewelry, afraid of being robbed or murdered. How could you be happy? So the rich man helped the poor with jewelry and money, doing some good deed. He enjoyed the taste of happiness.

When I was in my twenties, I stood in a hospital corridor waiting for doctors to put a few stitches in my son's head. I was asked, "When do you stop worrying?" A nurse said, "When they get out of the accident stage." My mother just smiled faintly and said nothing.

When I was in my thirties, I sat on a little chair in a classroom and heard how one of my children talked incessantly, disrupted (打断) the class, and was headed for a career making license plates. As if to read my mind, a teacher said, "Don't worry. They all go through this stage, and then you can sit back, relax, and enjoy them." My mother listened and said nothing.

When I was in my forties, I spent a lifetime waiting for the phone to ring and the cars to come home, the front door to open.

My friends said that when my kids got married I could stop worrying and lead my own life. I wanted to believe that, but I was haunted by my mother' s wan ( 淡淡的 ) smile and her occasional words, "You look pale. Are you all right? Call me the minute you get home."

Can it be that parents are sentenced to a lifetime of worry? Is concern for one another handed down like a torch to blaze the trail of human frailties and the fears of the unknown? Is concern a curse? Or is it a virtue that elevates us to the highest form of life?

One of my children became quite irritable recently, saying to me, "Where were you? I've been calling for three days, and no one answered. I was worried!!!"

I smiled a wan smile.

Compliments can be sent in all shapes and sizes. They can range from congratulating co-workers on their hard work to telling someone how good that shirt looks on him or her. In other words, compliments, no matter how small or great they are, can make anyone feel good. Next time, if you want to give someone some compliments, keep these tips in mind.
Perfect your compliments. People feel much more appreciated when you say exactly why you think that person deserves some praise. That's to say, back your compliments up with examples of why you think that person did a good job.
Don't put it off. Too many people wait until what they think is the perfect moment to send a compliment. What you have in your head as a perfect moment may never happen. If you feel that a compliment is appropriate, the best time is now.
Don't ever tell someone that something he or she has done is great and then point out what he or she was doing beforehand wasn't so great. Compliments are meant to make people feel good, and that's it. Don't bring other things into them because comparing the present and the past can just make someone feel bad about themselves.
Be selfless. Not only is this very selfish, but it destroys all of the sincerity right out of the compliments. If you think someone's hair looks nice, say so — but don't do it just because you're having a new hairstyle and want some validation (确认) for your own look.
A. Give a 100% compliment.
B. Don't be one of those people!
C. It's always a nice idea to give a compliment with a smile.
D. The best compliment leaves no room for any misunderstanding.
E. Your sincere compliments can make someone's entire day better.
F. Never compliment someone because you want a compliment back.
G. Adding examples makes your compliments more sincere and effective.

The World Health Organization notes when people stop living in poverty（贫困）,the first thing they want to do is eat better,rather than earn more money.For most people,that means their diet should contain more meat.With the rapid development of Asia,people there are eating nearly four times as much meat,milk and other milk products as they did 50 year ago.

To meet the need,farmers have put many animals into smaller spaces.As the animals are crowded together,the easiest way to deal with some of the problems d crowding is to give them antibiotics.It's clear that antibiotics help animals stay healthy in a crowded environment and grow faster.But bacteria can develop resistance to the drugs gradually.

Nowadays,doctors find antibiotics that once worked against the infections no longer work.The bacteria have learned ways to fight against the drugs.The heavy use of antibiotics in animals is responsible for the growth of antibiotic resistance worldwide.In the United States,at least two million people get drug-resistant infections each year and at least 23,000 die from an infection.

Europe has banned the use of antibiotics to increase animal growth.And the United States is hoping to persuade farmers to stop using antibiotics for that purpose.

New research shows sheep are clever
People often make jokes about how dull sheep are, but new research shows they may be cleverer than we think. Researchers at the University of Cambridge discovered that Welsh mountain sheep have brainpower that equals rodents (啮齿动物). Tests found that the sheep can map the area they live in, and some may even be able to plan ahead.
Young fish prefer noisy neighbors
A new study has shown that young fish like to live on reefs (暗礁) with noisy neighbors! Researchers from the universities of Auckland and Bristol found that young fish looking for a home choose areas where other noisy fish live. The scientists produced all kinds of sounds which had been recorded in different natural environments. The young fish seemed to prefer the sounds of natural reefs, compared with noisy animals! The scientists compared the choice to a music fan wandering around at a music festival, choosing to set up a tent closest to the music they like best!
Butterflies are disappearing
A new study has shown that 17 species (物种) of butterfly found in Europe have dropped by 70% in the last 20 years. The information collected from 3,000 sites across 15 countries shows it may be caused by the loss (减少) of grasslands covered with flowers. You can encourage butterflies to come into your garden by planting flowers.
