Once upon a
time, a Japanese man wanted to rebuild his house. First he had to tear the
walls open .Japanese houses 36 have hollow(空的)spaces between the wooden walls.
As he was 37 them down, he found a lizard(蜥蜴) 38 there because a nail(钉子)from the outside had been hammered into one of its feet. Seeing
this, he felt 39 for it, and at the same time was curious
about it.
He knew very well that the 40 had been hammered 10 years before
when the house was first 41 . What had happened
since? The lizard had 42 for 10 years! To be stuck in a
dark wall for 10 years without 43 —it hardly seems possible,
and is hard to 44 . Then he wondered how the
lizard could have lived for 10 years without moving a single step —since its 45 was
nailed! So he stopped work and began to 46 the
lizard. He wanted to know what it had been doing, and what and 47 it
had been eating.
A short time later another lizard 48 with food in
its mouth. He was shocked, and at the same time deeply 49 .
Another lizard had been feeding the stuck one 50 the past
ten years.
"What love 51 in this tiny creature! What can love do? It
can do 52 ! Just think, one lizard has been 53 another
untiringly for 10 long years, without 54 hope that its
partner would be saved,"the man marvelled.
If a small creature like a lizard can 55 like
this, just imagine how we could if we tried

Reporters collect information and write news stories. These stories appear in newspapers and magazines. Some reporters appear on television and radio. To get information, reporters should look at documents, observe the scene and interview people.
To get the latest news, radio and television reporters often reporter “live” from the scene.
Some reporters work long hours. They might work strange schedules. At morning newspapers, reporters might work from late afternoon until midnight. At evening or afternoon papers, they may work from early morning until afternoon. Radio and television reporters work during the day or in the evening. Magazine reporters generally work during the day. Reporters may have to change their work hours to follow a story.
If someone wants to be a reporter, a bachelor’s degree(学士学位) in journalism(新闻工作) is preferred. Some employers like graduates with other majors(专业). Working at school newspapers or broadcasting stations is good experience. Internship(实习生身份) with news organizations also help when looking for a job as a reporter.

Sometimes children do not do what their parents tell them to do. When this happens,a parent tries to help the child to do the right thing. When this does not work, the parent usually punishes the child.
There are many things that a parent can do.One thing that people have done is to spank the child. When a parent spanks a child, they will use their hand or a hard object to strike them on their bottom. This is meant to show the child that they have done something wrong.
One parent remembers being spanked when he was a child. His parents used a wooden spoon. When he spanked his own children with his hand, he saw that he put a red mark on his child’s leg. He never did that again.
One problem with spanking is that it teaches the child to hit someone when they do not like what the other person is doing. Another problem with spanking is that the parent is usually angry and can hit the child too hard.Sometimes will use spanking for everything and not try other ways to get the child to do the right thing.
Many parents are not sure of what to do instead of spanking. Some people think that their religion（宗教） tells them that spanking is okay. Some think that the law lets them do it. The courts(法院) say that parents have the right to teach their children how to behave.
Other things should be tried before a parent decides to spank a child. Telling the child exactly what is wanted from them can be one thing. Giving a child more than one choice is another thing that can be tried. Getting down to the child’s level and taking a more child-friendly approach(方法) can help as well.
