A
A poor boy was selling goods from one door to another to pay for his studies. One day he found that he had almost no money, and he was hungry. So he decided to ask for a meal.
But when a woman opened the door, he only dared to ask for a glass of water. To his surprise, she gave him a large glass of milk. He drank it and then asked how much he should pay her. She said, “You don’t have to pay me anything. Mother has taught us never to accept pay for a kindness” He was deeply moved and was determined to help those in need. The boy’s name was Howard Kelly.
Many years had passed. One day that woman became seriously ill. The local doctors could not help her. So they sent her to a big city where her rare (罕见的) disease would be studied by specialists (专家). Dr. Howard Kelly was called in for advice. When he entered her room in the hospital, he immediately recognized the woman. Howard Kelly was determined to do his best to help her.
The struggle was long, but together they succeeded in the end. After some time the woman received a bill for her treatment. She was worried that the amount would be so large that it would take the rest of her life to pay for it. However, when she looked at the bill, she fou nd words on the side of the bill. They were, “Paid in full with
a glass of milk.”

What if you had only three minutes to grab whatever you could take from your home and the rest would be lost forever? What would you take?
As the disasters in Japan changed from the earthquakes and tsunamis (海啸) to nuclear radiation (核辐射), many people that have been forced to leave their homes are facing the fact that they may not be able to return for
a long time.
With this in mind, let’s discuss the value of a Bug Out Bag. This bag is a collection of goods that you would need to survive (生存) if you have to escape from your home with no shelter, food or water during the unexpected situations.
A good B.O.B. should include things that are needed for life:
● A sleeping bag, or at least a blanket.
● Drinking water.
● High-calorie, no-cook foods like protein bars, peanut butter, etc.
● First-aid supplies.
● Fire-starting methods, and a small pot to boil water or cook.
● A few basic tools like a knife, some rope, etc.
● Flashlight with extra batteries.
● Cash.
● A digital backup (备份) of all your important documents and family treasures.
You could keep a B.O.B. by the front door, or even have several bags at home, at the office and in your car. This might seem like more than needed to some of you, but just imagine what a difference this kind of preparation would have made to the people of Japan. Then think of the difference a B.O.B. will make if those disasters happen to you.

Experts say with just a little bit of planning and creativity (创造力), parents can make their children eat healthy foods, and their children will develop healthy eating habits.
A trip to the grocery store with 15-year-old Zarea Adams is an education on healthy eating. She learned her healthy ways at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta’s Camp Strong 4 Life. She first attended the camp as an overweight 12-year-old.
“By going to the camp, they teach yo u new habits and show you how much sugar or how much fat is in something. It changes the way you think,” Adams said.
Change isn’t always easy. For parents who want to change their kids’ eating habits, Professor Josh Spitalnik said, “Don’t be afraid to fail. The best way to make changes is to make small steps in which you make mistakes and learn lessons.”

Experts said a healthy plate is one that is half fruits and vegetables. Parents should also watch what their children drink. Most parents know soda water is full of sugar, but don’t realize sports drinks and fruit juices are as well. I t’s best to drink water.
“At the camp, they teach you how to make flavored water. And that’s by using fresh fruit and adding it to your water. I like strawberries, watermelon and pineapple,” Adams said.
Adams is proof that exercise and healthy eating lead to a strong future for a child. “I actually feel healthier and more confident about myself,” said Adams.

④ Keep a watch on th eir kids’ food and drink.
⑤ Avoid providing their kids with too much food high in sugar.
