阅读理解

    I read a lot of newspapers for my job, but the one I liked best is called The Family News. Its editor is Heather Cook of Lisle, Illinois. She is only 12years old.  Heather thinks all her relatives should keep up with what everyone else in the family is doing. So every few months, she prepares The Family News and after her mother has made 50copies, Heather mails them out. They are received by 73 people in 9states, who range in age from 4 to 94. Because of the paper, Heather's family is joined together in a way that most families are not.

    The reason I like The Family News so much is its happy stories. Most other papers depressed me with stories about cruelty of mankind.  But The Family News never fails to bring a smile to my face.  Here are a few of its items:

    "Keven is in first place in his conference in golf. He is glad!"

    "Math got his second tooth. He crawls around the floor to get where he wants to go."

    "Grandma, Heather and Keven cleaned up the yard and burned the leaves in the back yard. It smoked so much that there was smoke all the way up the street."

    "Steve got a new car. It is dark blue."

    "Heather started putting out The Family News when she was seven." said her mother, Jeanne. "I didn't expect it to last.  But obviously it means a lot to her, and to everyone in our family.  It is a kind of collection.  My brother—in—law Tom gave money to buy stamps to send it out. And my uncle Frank, who never wrote to everyone, sent Heather a letter asking her to keep the paper going because it was the most important news he got."

    Heather doesn't look on her job as a hard work. "It's fun," she says. "Whenever I can, I call people up to see what's new.  Then I put it in the next issue. The best thing is hearing how much it means to my family. I plan on doing this until I get really old — at least 18!"

    Today, after 10 days of medical treatment, for the first time, I went out alone to meet a motherly lady who I had met during my stay in a program. She had been unwell recently and I lived alone. Her sons live in foreign countries.

    After I called her and told about my plan to visit her, she started becoming excited and happily planning food at once. Nowadays, she has a lady cook coming by to help her but she does part of the work herself with her bandaged leg.

    I reached her home alone after being guided a couple of times by her before. I carried little things (snacks, books etc.) for her. She had been waiting for some time when I arrived. We talked about different things from health to her life and mine, from past to future, from food to travel etc. During the discussion, her care for me became clear when she made warm suggestions or supported me.

    During the last few months, she had struggled with health and housework. She had got over those difficulties and here she was telling me how all of us must face some problems. She had seen a few people facing worse problems in the hospital and mentioned about their cases and was grateful for her present condition which was manageable.

    She wanted to gift me something—she kept thinking of a dress, watch, footwear etc. whatever was new and great in her home. I kept refusing but finally took the footwear out of politeness.

    She loved the snacks I had brought and wanted to eat them with her tea. I was quite happy to see the child like interest.

    While I was spending time with my motherly friend, the following thought kept coming back to me-probably this is why I have lived through the 10 days in this city. The time I spent with her seemed so much needed. I felt the deep peace it could bring to me and that brought such a big joy!
