“Depend on yourself” is what nature says to every man. Parents can help you. Teachers can help you. Others still can help you. But all these can’t always help you.
There have been many great men in history. But many of them were very poor in childhood, and had no uncles, aunts or friends to help them. They couldn’t depend on them for an education. They saw how it was, and began to work with their own efforts to know something. They worked their own way up to fame.
One of the most famous teachers in England used to tell his pupils, “I can’t make worthy（值得尊敬的）men of you, but I can help you make men of yourselves.”
Some young men have the best of everything. But they can never do things successfully if they don’t see their weak points.They are nobody now, and will be nobody as long as（只要）they don’t follow the advice of their parents and teachers, and depend on their own efforts.

She no longer wanted to live such a poor life and face her sick hus-band .So everything hard fell on to the young boy’s shoulders :to take care of his father and the sister Chenchen ,and to go on to study .
Although his life was hard ,Hong didn’t go away from hisfather and sister .He worked in part-time jobs to feed his family .He climbed tall trees to get birds’eggs for his sister .He walked two hours at weekends to the market to buy different things to sell around his school .A few years later ,he studied at a sollege .To take care of Chenchen ,he worked hard to rent a room near his college for her ,and send her to school .
After Hong’s story went public ,he became a hero in people’s eyes .But Hong refused offers-from others .He sard he felt encouraged by kind offers ,but he could depend on his own work .

Do animals have a culture? What do we mean by “culture”? Recently social scientists have begun to ask if culture is found just in humans, or if some animals have a culture, too. When we speak of culture, we mean a way of life that a group of people have in common. Culture is the forms of behavior (行为) that help people to live together. It is also the forms of behavior that make one group of people different from another group.
Human beings use tools, cooperate(合作) with one another, and communicate with language. But these aspects(方面)of human behavior, or “culture”, can also be found in the lives of certain animals. Animals can make tools , for example. We used to think that the ability to use tools was the dividing line between human beings and other animals. Lately, however, we have found that this is not the case. Chimpanzees(黑猩猩) can not only use tools but actually make tools themselves. So it may be important for us to know that the line dividing us from animals is not as clear as we used to think.
1.According to the article, “culture” means_____.
A. the languages we learn
B. the good habits we share with each other
C. the forms of behavior we have in common
2.The traditional idea about dividing animal from human beings is that ______.
A. human beings can use tools
B. Human beings can depend on each other
C. human beings have the language to communicate
3.From the chimpanzees can use and make tools, we know____.
A. animal may have a culture like our own
B. animals can be as clever as human beings
C. animals have the ability to help human beings
