阅读理解

    I was born in Mississippi, America in the 1960s. When I was a five year old boy, I was badly ill and became disabled. I grew up knowing I was different. The first time I felt hurt and left out was in Grade Five. The other fourth and fifth graders played together in gym class, while I was put in the second grade gym class. 'Mom called the school to say it was unfair, but the school scolded me for complaining too much.

    In the 1980s, when my mom was giving birth to my sister, she died. My dad became even more distant. I was very sad and began drinking wine to ease the pain.

    Dad got remarried in 1985. Everyone went to his wedding except me. He told me to stay at home and watch the house. When my high school bail came around, I wanted to go out but wasn't allowed. When I graduated, my dad and step-mom weren't willing to hold a party for me. They put me into a group home after graduation.

    However, my life changed when I became a local leader of the National Self-advocacy(自我辩护) Group. At first, I thought the group wasn't for me until I found out it was all about empowerment(授权) ! My goal is to be the voice for people who haven't been heard and to help them. Many families, like mine, don't believe their disabled family members have a voice of their own.

    Looking back over my 16 years of leadership experience, I'm proud that I've helped so many disabled people. They should be encouraged to never give up and to follow their own way.

    Microsoft founder Bill Gates has talked about how to be a good parent, saying that 13 is a right age for a child's first cellphone. The father of three said on the show that his children Jennifer and Rory were not allowed having phones until their thirteenth birthday and his younger daughter Phoebe is still waiting for one.

    "We've made a rule in our family that it's 13 when you get a phone." He also said as a result his children often return home from school complaining(抱怨), "All the other kids have it. I'm the only one without it. It's so embarrassing."

    Asked if he keeps passwords(密码)to his son's and daughters' email and Facebook accounts(账号), Mr Gates said that he doesn't for Jennifer, who he said was" old enough".

    Besides their wealth, Mr and Mrs Gates, who live in Lake Medina, have said they want to raise their children as normally as possible. It is said that their kids have to do housework after school and aren't given much pocket money.

    And in 2010Mr Gates said that he wanted to give most of his $ 61 billion away rather than hand it down." That wouldn't be good for my kids or society, "he said.

    Mr Gates left Microsoft in 2008 to put his heart into charity. During the interview with host Matt Lauser, he said that helping others made him feel happy as creating software.

    "What you really feel is what you've achieved. If a piece of software gets out there and lots of people love it-it lets them get their work done in better ways-that's exciting, "he explained.

What are the cultural differences between China and the West? You might be able to find the answer in Cao Siyu' s comics(连环漫画).

Cao, 36, was born in Beijing, but left home at 20 and has studied and lived in the US, the UK, and France for 12 years. Having seen so many cultures, Cao wanted to use her drawing skills to show the differences she has experienced. So she created the cartoon series Tiny Eyes Comics.

"My experience shows that although travel is much easier and faster today, the distance(距离)between cultures hasn't shortened,"Cao said. She hopes to build bridges and break down misunderstandings between different cultures. One of her cartoons shows water forms in different countries. Three glasses of water are shown. The glass of water from the US has ice; the one from France is full of sparkling water(苏打水); the one from China is steaming(冒热气的).

Cao also uses her cartoons to show different ways of thinking and social customs. She once used her comics to explain why Chinese people prefer to wear masks while western people don't. "Her simple pictures have played a big part in showing Chinese culture," Italian magazine Grazia reported.

Many foreign readers say that Cao's comics help them understand China, while Chinese living abroad have felt that they are seen and understood. She said that this voice has been the biggest motivation(动力) for her to keep creating.
