Here is a story:A man sees a butterfly(蝴蝶).The butterfly tries to get out of its chrysalis(蛹).
Feeling sorry for it,the man decides to help.He cuts the chrysalis and the butterfly comes out easily.Surprisingly enough,the butterfly is unable to fly.If the butterfly doesn't struggle(挣扎;奋斗) to leave
the chrysalis,it can't fly!The struggle develops the energy in the butterfly which makes it fly.Similarly,the challenges of life bring out the best in young people and make the fly.
When people are young,meeting and overcoming challenges will make them strong and ready to face
life.When we look at successful people,we see that the most successful of them are people who have
had to struggle.One famous businessman,who now owns many big supermarkets,used to carry clothes on his back and sell them from door to door when he was young.Another successful man is Dennis.His father died when he was only twenty.His father's death forced him to maturefast.He had to bring
up a family of nine people.He took up the challenges and overcame them.Today his brothers and sisters are leading successful lives.
Sometimes challenges do not appear to us because we keep away from them.So some parents and teachers actively encourage young people to face challenges.They might organize some activities for young people which provide them with challenges,like rock﹣climbing,camping,volunteer work and so on.However,just passing exams will not prepare a person for life.We must meet and overcome challenges.The young people of today will become the leaders of tomorrow.For countries to continue to become successful,it is important that the young people learn to meet challenges and overcome them.

Teens and kids are reading a lot less for fun, according to a recent report.
Although the decline (下降) in the past ten years is very surprising for teen readers, some data(数据) in the report shows that reading is still a big part of many children's lives.
According to the report, the number of teens who hardly read has gone up from 8 percent to 25 percent today. The report data shows that kids' reading ability remains almost the same. However, the amount of reading time has fallen, from about an hour every day to half an hour.
As for children's e﹣reading, the report mentions little about its effects. But it says that many parents choose to control the time spent on e﹣books, mainly because they are worried about the increased screen time. After all, it is important to protect their kids' eyes.
The most helpful part in the report is parents' effects on their children. It shows that parents are examples and important guides for them in reading. If parents read more and find more time to read with their children, it turns out that their children actually read more often.

"Miss Smith! What rough ( 粗糙的) hands Mary Jessup has! "said Daisy Marvin, as she walked home from school with her teacher.
"In my opinion, Daisy, Mary's hands are the prettiest in our class.'
"Why? Miss Smith, they are as red and hard as they can be. How they would look if she tried to play on a piano! "Daisy said.
Miss Smith took Daisy's hands in hers, and said, "Your hands are very soft and white, just the hands to look beautiful on a piano: yet they don't have one beauty that Mary's hands do.Shall tell you what the difference is?"
"Yes, please, Miss Smith." Daisy looked at Miss Smith, with eyes wide open.
"Well, Daisy, Mary's hands are very busy. They wash dishes; they make fires; they hang out clothes, and help to wash them, too: they are always trying to help her poor, hard﹣working mother."
Miss Smith continued, "Besides, they wash and dress the children; they mend their toys and dress their dolls; yet, they find time to bathe the head of the little girl who is so sick in the next house to theirs."
"They do good deeds (行为) to every living thing. I have seen them patting the tired horse and the homeless dog in the street. They are always ready to help those who need help."
"I shall never think Mary's hands are ugly any more, Miss Smith." Daisy said that with tears in eyes.
"I am glad to hear you say that, Daisy; and I must tell you that they are beautiful because they help others gladly and cheerfully."
"Oh, Miss Smith! I feel so ashamed of myself and so sorry, "said Daisy, looking into her teacher's face with shining eyes.
"My dear, beauty doesn't lie in how one looks but what he does."
