"The baby is fine. I will come next month," Wang Qiujiao says to the grandma of the baby. Wang Qiujiao is a village1 in Zhumei Village, Hezhou City of South China's Guangxi. She is 77 years old,2 she still tries her best to help villagers. 

51 years ago Wang 3 working as a doctor in her home town — Zhumei Village. The village is very 4 the city and there are many mountains around it. At that time, there wasn't even a flat (平坦的)5 for bikes, so people had to travel on foot. Of course, there weren't any doctors6 . Villagers had to walk long to the city to see a doctor when they 7 ill. So if they didn't have serious health problems, most villagers wouldn't 8 to see a doctor. Wang Qiujiao knew the 9 in her home town well. After thinking twice, she gave up her job in Nanning and 10 returned to her home town as a village doctor in1973. Wang often walked to visit the patients (病人)11 her medical box. Sometimes it took her more than one hour on the way. In2015, she became 12 as "the most beautiful village doctor" in Guangxi. People like her and respect (尊敬) her. 

"The 13 of the village is much larger than before, and the traffic is much better. However, most young people leave home to 14 better jobs in the city. So I have to help look after old people and children when 15 become ill," Wang says. Now, her son also works as a village doctor like her.

    In 2009 a group of parents in Lymington started sharing worries about their children's money-management skills. Pocket money was now stored in a building society rather than a piggy bank (储蓄罐); household shopping was done online; the children rarely saw their parents handling cash. They were spending online, too. Money had become intangible. How, then, were children to learn its value?

The answer they came up with was GoHenry, an app now available in America as well as Britain. It is designed to help young people learn good spending habits through real-world money activities. Parents sign up with their own bank accounts and pay a monthly fee of £2.99 or $3.99 for each child aged six or over. Adults and children download separate versions. Parents can schedule pocket money and set chores. When those are marked as done, the child is paid the agreed amount. Parents can see what the child has bought and where. And they can choose where the card can be used: in shops, online or at ATMs.

Children get cards printed with their name. They can put money in savings pots, view their spending and balances, and set savings targets. "They could decide to save ten dollars for a friend's birthday in four weeks' time, or set a goal at 12 to have $2,000 to buy a car at age 18," says Dean Brauer, one of GoHenry's founders. "The app tells them how much to save each week to meet their goal."

A big benefit of such apps is that they inspire family conversations about money. According to the latest research, more than half of British parents find the subject hard to discuss with their children. And yet most agree that children's attitudes to money are formed in their early years.

Some GoHenry customers are wealthy parents who worry that their children will grow up with little knowledge of money. Others have slim incomes but regard the app as a preparation for their child's future. Some say that they have been in debt and want their children to avoid that mistake when they grow up; others that the app is cost-effective because their children learn to plan spending. Even though young people no longer touch and hold money, they can still be taught to handle it well.

A group of American high school students built a bus stop shelter(遮蔽物) for a 5- year- old boy Ryder Killam.

There is something {#blank#}1{#/blank#} with Ryder's legs. Every morning, he has to wait for the school bus outside in his wheelchair(轮椅). {#blank#}2{#/blank#} it's only about 20 meters from his house to the bus stop, it is quite a long way for Ryder.

At first, Ryder's family {#blank#}3{#/blank#} up a big umbrella, so Ryder could sit under it when he waited. But it didn't {#blank#}4{#/blank#} when the weather was bad. They tried {#blank#}5{#/blank#} a few other ways but they hardly ever worked, either. They decided to ask the community for {#blank#}6{#/blank#}.

Some high school {#blank#}7{#/blank#} heard about the news and wanted to give the little boy a hand. They worked for weeks and built a nice shelter for Ryder. It is just like {#blank#}8{#/blank#} small house. Now, Ryder can stay in it when he waits for his school bus without (不用) worrying {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the bad weather.

" We are really happy to work for our community," one of the students said." And {#blank#}10{#/blank#} is pretty cool to help someone in need."

I saved the rice and wheat carefully and finally had enough to plant. I built a wall around my garden to keep the wild goats away. 

Then when my crop(庄稼) bore its fruit, the birds discovered it. The birds were not afraid of my dog at all. I shot them, but as soon as I walked away, they returned. At last, I killed some birds and hung them among the crop, hoping they would serve as the scarecrows(稻草人), which turned out to be successful. By harvest time, I had nearly two bushels of rice and two and a half bushels of wheat. 

With my new rice and wheat to store, I found a new problem. The fine rice and wheat ran through my baskets. It took me nearly two months to form and dry two ugly bowls — one for rice and one for wheat. 

Next I made some tools from hard wood and cloth to make bread. I made bread with my tools. I spent the third year on the island in farming and making bread. 

Soon after that, I began to think of my days sailing in a tidy boat with Xury. I wished to have a boat and explore(探索) the island by sea. 

I tried to turn over the ship's boat that I had seen washed up, but failed. I was still determined(坚定的) to have a boat. So I chose a strong tree and spent weeks cutting it down. Then it took me months to turn the tree into a boat. 

When it was time to sail, I realised I had made my boat too far from the nearest river. The boat was far too heavy for me to move. I tried bringing the water to the boat instead of the boat to the water. I soon saw it would take me twenty years of work. 

I celebrated my fourth year on the island with two boats, but I was no closer to a sea journey.
