My name is Peter Hodes and I'm a stem cell delivery volunteer. Since March 2012, I have done 89 such assignments, 51 of which were offshore. I have 42 hours to carry the stem cells because there are 2 packs of ice in the small box I use to carry the stem cells, and 42 hours is the time they (ice) can last.

In general, we only have a maximum of 72 hours from the time the stem cells are obtained from the donor to the time they are implanted in the patient, so I always pay attention to the time issue.

Last year, I was on a mission and I was hit by a hurricane in the United States. I received my stem cells in Providence, Rhode Island, and I was supposed to fly to Washington and then back to London. But when I arrived at the check-in counter at Providence Airport, the lady on duty there said:

I'm so sorry, I have some bad news to tell you, there is no plane leaving Washington right now" So I put my box on the counter and told her: "This box contains the stem cells that the patient desperately needs, so please, please make sure to get me back to the UK as soon as possible" She immediately put down all the work at hand and arranged a seat for me on a small plane, diverted to Newark and returned to the UK earlier than originally planned.

It's Thanksgiving morning. I was busy preparing when the traditional Thanksgiving turkey doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw two small children huddled together in rags.

Any**, ma'am? One of them asked.

I'm busy. I wanted to say "no" until I looked down at my feet. They were all dressed in thin sandals and wet heavy snow.

Come, I'll give you a cup of hot cocoa. ”

They walked over and sat down at the table. Wet shoes leave marked on the floor. I served them cocoa tea and bread against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started cooking.

Let me be silent in the front room. I looked. The girl holds an empty cup in her hand and looks at it. The boy calmly asked, "Madame, do you have any money?" ”

Am I rich? Unfortunately, no! ”

I looked at my worn upholstery. The little girl very carefully put the cup back on the plate and said carefully, "Your cup and saucer." "After they left, their ** of desire reminded me that I was so grateful.

Chinese pure blue cups and saucers are only worth fivepence. But they match.

I tasted the potatoes and stirred broth. Potatoes and brown broth, roofing our heads, my fixed work people, these match.

I took the chair from the fire and cleaned the living room. The marks of the little muddy sandals were still wet on my floor. Let them have a while, I thought, in case I should start forgetting that I am rich.

Children who spend more time reading with their parents have a greater chance of being a good reader than those who don't. With the help of their parents, children learn techniques to improve their reading skills. "A lot of parents think it's time to stop reading to their children once they've learned to read," says Dona George"Unfortunately, they were all wrong.

George provides services to parents at the Title Learning Center. Reading aloud to children is probably the most effective thing parents can do, she said. "It's better for kids to hear things that are beyond their level," says George, "and parents are their children's first teachers."

When reading aloud to children, parents help their children build listening, pronunciation, comprehension, and vocabulary skills. Parents should avoid enemy --- TV and limit the amount of time children spend watching TV before they notice a problem. George suggests not allowing kids to have a TV in their bedroom, establishing a schedule where kids can watch TV, or making a list of the TV shows kids watch.

Louis Jonis said that when her 14-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son are enjoying reading, television can sometimes become a distraction. So she tries to create an atmosphere where the whole family can read together by recommending books, such as the Harry Potter series. Parents who don't read themselves should not expect their children to be enthusiastic about reading.

If parents can read to their children for at least 15 minutes a day, their children will not have so many problems when they go to school. It is the job of parents to build a desire to read in their children, and of course, it is also very important to know what kind of books to read.
