  We do some strange things when we don’t like the way our life is going. Too often we blame someone else:

  “I wish my parents were more understanding.”

  “I have such a bad Chemistry teacher!”

  “My friends are so boring and self-centered. They make my life worse and worse.”

  Blame! Blame! Blame!

  It seems natural to sing this self-pitying song, but the truth is, if you don’t like your life, you should do something about it. No one else knows exactly how you feel or what you need. No one can read your mind correctly. You are the only one with the power to check your life, and if you want it to be different, you can change what you’re doing. This means asking… “What do I need? What do I want to do?” instead of trying to meet others’ needs. For example, try to decide how you want to spend your evening instead of asking somebody else for advice. We teach other people how we want to be treated. If we don’t think of our own needs, no one else will, either.

  When you’re in trouble, don’t give away your power to decide how you feel about yourself. Choose how you want to think and act. Other people can’t make you unhappy or angry. They only act in their own way and then it’s up to you to decide how you will respond. For example, your friends go out to lunch without you. You feel angry. How are you going to act? You may blame your friends… “They’re not kind. Who needs them anyway?” or you may tell your friends how you feel, listen to their explanation, and let them know you’d like to be invited next time.

  When you decide everything in your own way, you’re getting hold of your own life and shaping it according to your tastes and feeling. You can choose to be happy, to make friends and to build an interesting life, you have stopped growing or learning.

  One of the most important rules is that you can never change another person by your direct action. The only person you have the right and power to change is yourself. Once you change, the other person then has something different to respond to and change is possible. If you want change in your life, begin with yourself…put love into your power to take action.

  Nearly all our food comes from the soil. Some of us eat meat, of course, but animals live on plants. If there were no plants, we would have no animals and no meat. So the soil is very necessary for life. The top of the ground is usually covered with grass or other plants. There may be dead leaves and dead plants on the grass. The waste matter from animals also falls on it.

  All soil needs food. If we don’t give it any, the plants will be weak. Farmers found that animals’ waste is the best food for the soil, but chemical fertilizers are also very useful. The same crop should not be grown in the same place every year; it’s better to have a different crop. A change of crop and the use of a good fertilizer will keep the land good.

  A. All our food comes from the soil.

  5. Why do we often grow a different crop in the same place every year?

  A. Because we can keep the soil rich this year

  Dear Reader,

  Imagine an 11--year--old child whose days are often spent washing clothes, looking after a baby, working hard in the fields.

  Imagine a little girl who knows there will not be enough food for dinner, who can’t fill her stomach with water because it’s polluted, and who has watched life slip away(消失)from her father and little brother and sister because the family is too poor to see a doctor.

  Is it hard to believe? For Maria Pastora, these are the real life.

  Maria would gladly walk miles to school, but her mother, now alone, needs her badly at home. Chances are Maria will grow up without any schooling. What will be her future? In many ways, it will be disastrous(灾难性的).

  But for just 52 pennies a day ,you can sponsor(资助)a child like Maria. Show her that somewhere, someone cares about her. Through “Save the children”, you can help Maria’s mother get the tools and ways she needs to turn their poor food into a food dinner and get the money she needs to buy clothes and schools things for Maria.

  To help Maria most, your money is put together with that of other sponsors, so hard—working people can help themselves. Build a school--a hospital---bring in clean water. This is what “Save the child” has been about since 1932.

  For you there are many rewards. Have the chance to write to hear from your sponsored child. Receive photos or progress reports. Know you are reaching out to another person. Not with a handout, but a hand up. That’s how “Save the children” works, But without you, it can’t work.. Please take a moment now to fill in and post the form below to help a child like Maria and her village.

  It can make such a difference---in her life and yours.
