In 1920, a nine-year-old American boy broke his neighbor’s window when he was playing soccer. His neighbor asked him to pay $12.5. At that time, $12.5 was a large number of money, and it could buy 125 chickens.

The little boy had to tell his father about it, and said sorry to his father. His father let him take responsibility (责任) for his own mistake. “I know I made a mistake, but I don’t have so much money,” the little boy said.

“Well, I can lend you some money, but you must give it back to me in a year,” said the father. Then he gave the little boy $12.5.

Since then, the little boy started doing hard work, like sending newspapers, doing the cleaning for his family, cleaning the car, etc. He had to get up early in the morning and go to bed late at night. Sometimes he even worked day and night. Six months later, he earned (赚) $12.5 and returned it to his father.

The boy was Ronald Reagan. He became a president of the United State later. Ronald Reagan said taking responsibility for his own mistake by doing hard work made him know what the responsibility was.

Writing a good story is not an easy task. What’s the secret? Mo Yan, last year’s Nobel Prize winner in literature, believes his success comes from a large amount of reading.

Mo was born into a farming family in a village in Shandong province. He grew up listening to folk stories about gods, spirits and foxes. Those stories later became the inspiration(灵感) for Mo’s writing.

Mo left school at the age of 12 and started to work in the fields.

Although he was tired after his daily hard work, Mo was always hungry for books. However, there were very few in the village. He read his older brother’s textbooks and even dictionaries. He helped others with farm work in exchange for books.

“When I finished reading all the books around, I thought I was the most knowledgeable man in the world,” he told Xinhua.

After Mo left his hometown and joined the army in 1976, he began to read widely, including works by Lu Xun and many other famous writers. He studied from these writers but did not copy them. Instead, he developed his own style. As the first Chinese citizen to win a Nobel Prize in literature, Mo told a group of reporters in his hometown shortly after he won the award. “I grew up in an environment filled with folk culture. It enters my novels whenever I pick up a pen. This has affected, even decided, my style.”

The world would be a very different place if someone hadn’t invented the lift. There would be few, if any, high-rise buildings because people would refuse to climb many stairs. By the time workers reached their offices on the top floors of a tower building, it would be time to go home – if they were not too tired for the long walk down！

The first lift that we know about was used by the Greek scientist, Archimedes, in about 230 BC. It was a simple place that could be pulled up and down with a rope. A lift like this was used much later in the 12th century by priests who lived on top of a mountain at Metereo in Greece. Because they were afraid of killers, the priests had not built any stairs up the mountain. The only way up was by lift, which priests worked from the top of the mountain.

A few hundred years later, a Frenchman, Villayer, invented a ‘flying chair’ which used a rope and a place. A number of rich people had these ‘flying chairs’ built in their homes, including Queen Anne of England in Windsor Castle and Louis XVI of France at Versailles. Unluckily, Louis’ daughter was badly hurt when using one of the chairs, and Villayer ran away, afraid that he would be punished.

The main problem for lift engineers was that either humans or animals were needed to pull the ropes. This problem was not worked out until the discovery of steam power. But even steam powered lifts were not always safe because they also used ropes which sometimes broke. If the rope broke - which it sometimes did - the lift fell to the ground and people in it were killed or hurt. This problem worked out in 1854 when an American, Elisha Otis, invented something which stopped the lift from falling if the rope broke. At first Otis lifts were used only in factories, then in 1857 he built one in a large New York store. Now lifts use electric power and are completely safe. They also travel very quickly. Some lifts travel faster than 60 kilometers an hour.
