Growing up is not always easy. When we face difficulties,a spirit of depending on yourself is more useful than crying for help.That’s what Hong Zhanhui’s story of growing from boy to man with family hardship tells us.
Hong was born in 1982 in a poor family in Xihua County(县),Henan Province. When he was only 11,his father became badly ill and one day he came back with an unwanted baby girl.A year later,Hong’s mother left home. She no longer wanted to live such a poor life and face her sick husband.Everything hard fell onto the young boy’s shoulders. He managed to take care of his father and the sister Chenchen and go on to study as well.
Although his life was hard, Hong didn’t go away from his father and sister. He worked in part-time jobs to feed his family.He climbed tall trees to get birds’ eggs for his sister.He walked two hours at weekends to the market to buy different things to sell around his school. A few years later,he studied at a college.To take care of Chenchen,he worked hard to rent(租)a room near his college for her,and send her to school.
After Hong’s story went public,he became a hero in people’s eyes.But Hong refused offers from others.He said he felt encouraged by kind offers,but he could depend on his own work.
Through his hard life,he has grown up from boy to man.

The Value of Negative Results
We all avoid failure(失败),and most of us fear it.However,without failure,progress would be impossible.What does success usually come after?Failure.It seems that one cannot exist(存在)without the other.
Accepting failure is not easy for many,though we are often unwilling accept failure because our professional fame depends on success.(1) In the past ten years,for example,some scientific magazines have published reports of failed tests.It is believed that scientists can learn more "negative(负面的)"results and that this can finally lead to positive results.
(2) The ABN AMRO bank started an Institute (机构)of Brilliant Failures to learn more about what works and what doesn't in banking.Eli Lilly and Company had failure parties to study the drugs(药物)that don't work.
In fact,one of the business world's most famous failures became one of its biggest successes,in part because the product's makers learned from their mistakes.(3) The product,though unique(独特的)at the time,was expensive and heavy;besides,some of its most important features(特点)didn't work properly.As a result,Apple's CEO,Steve Jobs,believed in the product and he began to find out ways of improving it.In time,this led to the production of the iPhone and the iPad,two of the company's most successful products.
(4) Not only should we try to learn from it if we want to succeed,we must also be persistent(执着的).Though Apple stopped selling the Newton in 1998,the first iPhone wasn't available until 2007.It took a lot of research and hard work to go from the Apple Newton to iPhone but in the end,the effort became successful.
All in all,there is a lot we can learn by studying mistakes.Perhaps the most important lesson is that failure and success are two sides of the same coin. (5)
A.One truly cannot exist without the other.
B.We are brave enough to face difficulties.
C.In the early 1990s,Apple created a phone called the Apple Newton.
D.The business world already understands the value of negative results.
E.The Apple Newton has won popularity with people all over the world.
F.However,things are slowly changing,especially in business and science.
G.The story of the Apple Newton can teach us an important lesson about failure.
Many scientist once believed that physical similarities between identical twins are genetic(基因的),while their personalities,intelligence and other differences between them are an effect of their environment.Now scientists are discovering that the boundaries(界限)between genes and environment are not so clear.
Twins Jim Springer and Jim Lewis were adopted(领养)as babies and raised by different couples.When the Jims finally met at age 39,they discovered they had plenty in common.Both were six feet tall,180 pounds.They had the same smile and the same voice.When scientist Thomas Bouchard Jr.invited the Jim twins to his lab,people there found it very hard to tell them apart.
But the similarities didn't stop at the physical.They'd both had dogs named Toy.They had both married women named Linda and then their marriage broke up.They'd both been policemen,enjoyed music,and left love notes around the house for their wives.They had so much in common,it seemed unlikely these were just coincidences (巧合).
The Jim twins were just one of 137 sets of separated twins.Bouchard tested.When they compared the twins' IQ scores,Bouchard and his team reached a surprising conclusion(结论).They concluded that intelligence was mostly connected to genes rather than to training or education.It seemed the differences in family and environment had little effect.
However,genes can't control everything,argues geneticist Danielle Reed,who also studies twins.Reed's research shows that though nothing can truly change our DNA,environmental differences that a child experiences before birth and in their first year can sometimes affect the way the DNA behaves,making even identical twins into very different people. "What I like to say is that Mother Nature writes some things in pencil and some things in pen, "She explains. "Things written in pen you can't change.That's DNA.But things written in pencil you can.

D. |

(3)What is Reed's opinion about genes and environment?
A. |
Only DNA has an effect on our development. |
B. |
Environment could possibly change some things about us. |

There are no boundaries between genes and environment. |

Environmental differences can sometimes change our DNA. |
