      When he was small, Hill was a famous bad boy.
At the age of 9, his father married his stepmother. At that time they lived poorly in the countryside while his stepmother was from a wealthy family.
       His father introduced Hill to his stepmother as he said, "Dear, I hope you notice in the entire shire this is the worst boy, who has made me have no other way. Maybe before tomorrow morning he will throw a stone at you, or do a bad thing you will never imagine."
      To Hill's surprise, his stepmother went up to him with a smile, held up his head and looked at him carefully. She then turned around to tell her husband, "You're wrong. He is not the worst boy in the entire shire, but the cleverest and most creative boy. Only he doesn't find a place to show himself."
      His stepmother's words warmed his heart, his eyes full of tears. With this, he started building friendship with his stepmother. And this became the drive of his life, making him create 28 successful golden rules, which helped tens of thousands of ordinary people walk on the road to success.
      Before his stepmother came, no one praised him smart, and his father and neighbours considered him as a bad boy. However, his stepmother's words changed his life.
      When Hill was 14 years old, his stepmother bought him a used typewriter and said to him, "I believe you will become a writer." Hill accepted his stepmother's gift and expectation, and started writing things to a local newspaper. He understood his stepmother's strong feeling of interest in his family while he saw with his own eyes she had changed his family. Therefore, he would do as well as she expected him to.
      The strength from his stepmother made him a rich man and famous writer in the United States and one of the most important persons in the 20th century.
      Praise will never be unnecessary, especially for children. A sincere（真诚的）praise may be better than 10, 000 bad words.

       According to UNEsco, a large number of children in villages in some African countries like Kenya and Tanzania do not go to school. They have to work to make money for their family.And more than half of people in these countries live without electricity.
       A company is now working to solve both of these problems. It has created a special solar(太阳的) power station, which is in the shape of a cow called“Solar Cow". The company encourages parents in those poor villages to send their children to school by setting up Solar Cows at schools.
Just as its name suggests,the Solar Cow can charge batteries(给电池充电) called“Solar Milks"The Solar Milks provide electricity for the families.
       The batteries can only be charged using the Solar Cow so children have to go to school to get the electricity Every day, children put their batteries into the bottom of their school's Solar Cow They go to class while the batteries are being charged. At the end of the day, they take the charged batteries home.
       Each fully-charged Solar Milk battery can charge a mobile phone three or four times,or a radio once or twice. The battery is also a flashlight and it can provide ten hours of light.“My father used to travel two to three hours to the charging shop to charge his phone, and it cost a lot," a boy said.“But now, he can use the battery I bring from school to charge his phone at home."
       Since2018,this company has set up two Solar Cowsin Kenya and one in Tanzania. The company also started to raise money for more Solar Cows to help the poor children in Africa.

       Scientists have long tried to be able to know more about floods.So far ,the best that scientists can do is to recognize the conditions for flooding.
      Although deep snow alone seldom causes floods, when it occurs together with heavy rain and sudden warmer weather , it can lead to serious flooding. If there is a fast snow melt ( 融化 ) on top of frozen or very wet ground , flooding is likely to occur.Melting snow also causes high water levels in rivers. Whenever rivers are already at their highest possible levels, heavy rains will result in the rivers' flooding the nearby land.
       Rivers covered in ice can also lead to flooding. When ice begins to melt , it breaks into large pieces.These pieces of ice move and float down the river. They can block the river, causing the water to rise and flood the land up the river.If the ice dam ( 坝) breaks suddenly , the large quantity of water held behind it can flood the areas down the river too.
Broken ice dams are not the only problem that can cause flooding. When a large human-made dam breaks or fails to hold the water collected behind it , it will also cause serious damage.
       Although scientists cannot always know when floods will occur, they do know a great deal about when floods are likely ,or probably , going to occur.
