When I was about twelve years old, my mother told us that we would not be receiving Christmas gifts for lack of money. I felt sad and thought, “What would I say when the other kids asked what I’d 16 ?” Then three women 17 at our house with gifts for all of us. For me they brought a doll. I would no longer have to be 18 when I returned to school.
Years later, when I stood in the kitchen of my new house, thinking how I wanted to make my first Christmas special and memorable there, I 19 remembered the women’s visit. I decided that I wanted to create that same feeling of 20 for as many children as I could possibly reach.
So I came up with a plan and gathered forty people from my company to help. We gathered about 125 orphans（孤儿）at the Christmas party. For every child, we wrapped colorful packages filled with toys, clothes, and school supplies, each with a child’s name. We wanted all of them to know they were 21 . Before I called out their names and handed them their gifts, I 22 them that they couldn’t open their presents until every child had come forward. Finally, the 23 they had been waiting for came as I called out, “One, two, three. Open your presents!” As the children opened their packages, their faces beamed and their bright smiles 24 up the room. The 25 in the room was obvious, and it wasn’t just about toys.

Reader’s Digest is a monthly magazine. Before the 1980s, it belonged to a privately held company, which was started in 1922 by Lila Bell Wallace and Dewitt Wallace. This magazine is small and easy to carry, just half the size of most American magazines, which cause a phrase in 2005, “America in your pocket.” It is the best selling magazine in the USA. At present, its circulation（发行量）in the USA has reached 10 million copies and the number of the readers there is 38 million. Its global circulation outside the USA has reached 40 million people throughout more than 70 countries in 21 languages.
This magazine’s focus is not news but more of cultural views because the editors think people now can get timely news from somewhere else. They hope this magazine can give readers something that is about special personal experiences, something the readers can share with their families. In different countries, the magazine provides a window to the world for the local readers. The other parts give the local readers information from all over the world.
This magazine actually used to be a family business until the Wallaces died in the 1980s. Because they had no children, there was no one to take over the company. Sixteen years ago, this company went public and became a public company.

With the development of society, more and more people have realized the importance of environment protecting. They want to eat healthily and live green. But can you imagine that we can also transport green in most cities? Car sharing is a good way to drive green that’s gaining in popularity, especially in cities. People who may not drive every day but still want a car to go on business or drive on weekends benefit（受益）most from car sharing. Car sharing is usually run by a service like Zipear, though there are non-profit and informal car sharing services. Members pay a monthly fee and have the choice of an entire fleet of cars when they need one. The cars are parked in fixed spots around the city, so members only need to make a reservation（预定）and then got the pickup spot.
Car sharing has major environmental benefits because it reduces the number of cars on the road. Members don’t drive just because they are in a car. They plan trips, and if they don’t need a car, they don’t use one. Still, a car is available to them if they need to make a trip to the grocery store, pick someone up at the airport or if they want to go to the beach for the day. Members also benefit by having access to a car without any of the headaches of ownership. They usually don’t have to pay for the gas, insurance or maintenance and the monthly membership fee is less than typical car payment. So if you really want to go green but aren’t ready to totally give up a car yet, car sharing may be the best way to go.

By the year 2050 it is estimated that the world’s population will reach nine billion. An interesting question: what happens when people in poorer countries raise their living standard and demand more meat in their diet? Imagine trying to feed nine billion people with enough meat. In short, it’s simply impossible.
Australian journalist and science writer, Julian Cribb, explains the challenges the world faces in feeding nine billion people by the year 2050. Cribb says there is a major problem in the current food system in the developed world, at least.
