As the saying goes， "Give a man a fish， and you feed him for a day． Teach a man to fish， and you feed him for a lifetime．" This is the way the charity organization Heifer International（国际小母牛慈善组织） wants to end world hunger．
It began in the 1930s when an American farmer， Dan West， went to Spain to help people in need．He tried to feed the people with milk． But it seemed that there would never be enough milk． It made him think that what they needed was "not a cup， but a cow"．
Dan West returned to America． He worked together with some friends to find ways to end hunger． He believed giving animals and providing training would stop world hunger． With his help， Heifer
International was set up．
On Heifer International's website， you will see a list of animals like cows， chickens， pigs and
even fish and bees． You can offer help by buying some animals for one certain family． Those animals will have babies． With more and more animals， these families will be able to support themselves． Once these families get better lives， they will pass on the act of kindness to others． More importantly， you are buying the resources（资源） for programs run by Heifer International to help more families．
The programs also help small﹣sized farms． As a rule， each farmer must give his animal's first female （雌性）baby to another in need． Heifer International also provides training on animals' health and feeding． And these farmers all agree to teach others what they have learned as another rule．
However， there is still a long way to go． The milk may run out． But if families have their own cows， they can get plenty of milk to feed themselves． The organization wants the farmers to go on working together， helping each other and learning from each other． Maybe hunger can really be stopped．

I was in my third year of teaching writing at Ralph High School in New York, when one of my students, 15-year-old Mikey, gave me a note from his mother. It explained his absence from class the day before:
"Dear Mr. McCort, Mikey's grandmother, who is eighty years of age, fell down the stairs from too much coffee and I kept Mikey at home to take care of her and his baby sister so I could go to my job. Please excuse Mikey and he'll do his best in the future. P.S. His grandmother is OK."
I had seen Mikey writing the note at his desk. l said nothing. Most parental-excuse notes I received were penned by my students. The writers of those notes didn't realize that honest excuse notes were usually boring: "Peter was late because the alarm clock didn't go off."
The students always said it was hard putting 200 words together on any subject, but when they produced excuse notes, they were excellent. So I decided to give the first class to study the art of the excuse note.
“Today I'd like you to write 'An Excuse Note from Adam to God' or 'An Excuse Note from Eve to God'. "Heads went down. Pens raced across paper. They had to be asked to go to lunch by their friends.
The next day everyone had excuse notes. Heated discussions followed. But suddenly I saw the headmaster at the door. He entered the classroom and walked up and down, looking at papers, and then said. "I'd like you to see me in my office." My heart sank,

"BANG !" the door caused a reverberation（回声）. It was just standing there, with father standing on one side, and I on the other side.
We were both in great anger. "Never set foot in this house again!" stormed father. With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.
The street lights were shining, causing rather sad feelings. I walked aimlessly.
A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree.
But now ... I don't know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old. We differ in our ways of thinking. He always puts his opinions of behavior on me. Whenever I do something wrong, he never turns a blind eye to it. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.
I walked aimlessly on the streets, without an exact place in mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. As I walked on there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights to be with me. When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived.
I saw that all the lights were off except the father's.
I thought to myself: "Is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?" "Am I wrong?" I whispered, maybe... With the key in hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door tears ran down my cheeks. I suddenly realized that there was no iron door between us at all.

Your daughter has finally reached the age of 18, and you think perhaps your job will finally get a little easier. That could be wrong thinking - as the parent of any 18-year-old will tell you. Learning to cope with an ungrateful 18-year-old daughter takes patience, understanding and time.
_______ When she was a little girl, she wanted you to be involved（参和） in everything of her life from her daily activities to her friends. This is' no longer the case. She's a grown woman who needs her own personal life. Comment（评论） on her choices only when asked to do so - especially if you want to say no to her.
Allow her to make mistakes. No parent wants to see his or her child fall, but the days of protecting her all the time are at an end. Unless（除非） you see a train coming, let her fall when she makes poor choices. It will enable her to grow past the ungrateful "know it all" stage.
Encourage dialogue whenever you can, rather than planning talks. She's more likely to open up to you when talking over something trivial (琐碎的). Anytime she wants to talk, become a willing listener in the conversation. You never know when a deeper, more important conversation will develop.What does the underlined phrase "cope with" mean?
| A．walk with | B．go with | C．talk with | D．deal with |
