Congratulations, darling! I knew you'd get the raise! These things will tell you how much I love you. |
A woman, who had worked for a company for 3 years, finally decided to ask her boss for a raise in salary*. All day she felt1and worried. In the afternoon she slowly entered the office of her boss. To her surprise, he agreed to a 2 without a word.
The woman arrived home that evening and3the best dishes on a beautiful table. Her husband had come home early and prepared a great meal. She wondered if4from the office had told him the news, or…did he just happen to know that5would not be refused?
She found him in the kitchen and told him the6news. They hugged and kissed, then sat down to the wonderful7Next to her plate the woman found a sweet8. It read, "Congratulations, darling! I knew you'd get the raise! These things will tell you how much I love you."
After the dinner, her husband went into the kitchen to clean up. She9that a second note had fallen from his pocket. Picking it up from the floor, it read, "Don't10not getting the raise! You deserve it anyway! These things will tell you how much I love you."
11she understood what the notes meant, and there was a smile on her face.
Someone has said that the12meaning of love is when you love without measure. What this man feels for his wife is total acceptance and love, 13he succeeds or fails. His love14her victories and comforts her sadness. He stands with her, no matter15life throws at them.

Several large companies have begun creating paper bottles to replace glass and plastic ones. Paper bottles aren't quite ready to go yet, but you may see then appearing on shelves over the next few years.
Companies which sell liquids like drinks or shampoo need lots of bottles. Usually, these bottles are made of plastic or glass. But caring more about the environment, many companies have begun working to develop paper bottles.
Paper bottles have many advantages. Perhaps the most important is that they should be easy to recycle, and paper bottles are lighter than glass or plastic ones, meaning they'll need less energy to produce and to move around. Since paper is soft and easy to mold, companies can design their bottles to take almost any shape they choose.
But paper bottles aren't perfect. Most paper bottles use water pulp, meaning trees need to be cut down to make the bottles. That could harm animals and others who depend on the forests. There's still lots of testing to be done before paper bottles can replace glass or plastic ones. Companies will need to see how long liquids can be stored in the bottles, and make sure the bottles don't affect the taste.
But with so many companies working together, it's sure that we can expect to see paper bottles on store shelves in the near future.
American scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) say they have successfully developed a way to grow wood structure in a lab from ceils*taken from the leaves of a flowering plant—zinnia. The method may create different wood products indoors in a single process.
Luis Fernando, the lead researcher on the project of MIT, told MT News the process has a long way to go But if it can be perfected, it could be simpler and faster to produce wood products. For example, it can take many years to make a wooden table. First, a tree has to grow. Then, it must be cut down, transported, processed, etc. Luis said lab-grown wood would combine all those steps intone. "If you want a table, then you should just grow a table," he said.
The experiment was carried out indoors. It requires buildings, heat, or artificial light instead of natural sunlight. During the process, the researchers mixed up two plant hormones*that helped the cells grow a thick, strong wood-like structure. With further development, the researchers said they could use the same process to grow wood in specific shapes, such as a table or chair.
Ashley Beckwith, a doctoral student at MIT, told MIT News the experiment showed that growing plant structures in a lab could be a more efficient*way to use land and resources. Such a lab-based farming method, which is free from the dependence on weather and seasons as traditional farming does, is more likely to improve yields. The process could also reduce plant waste so that it could greatly cut the cost of production. Moreover, if wood products could be produced in a lab, there would be more land to grow crops and the damage to the world's forests would be reduced.
However, Luis Fernando said his team still need to improve the method, especially to learn how to better control the final structure that is produced. And the researchers also want to carry out new experiments to see whether the same results can be reached with other kinds of plants.
In honor of Mother's Day this year, Michelle Obama shares memories of her mom, Marian Robinson, who shaped the fantastic life of America's first lady. In a special speech Obama reflects on what she learned about parenting from her own mother:
My mother is a woman who chooses her words carefully. She sometimes speaks slowly with a smile to make herself understood. it's a style that makes her a good partner or friend who doesn't need the limelight.
As I've grown older, I've seen how her manner in conversation also reflects her way of parenting. When it came to raising her kids, my mom knew that her voice was less important than allowing me to use my own, that meant she listened a lot more than told you how she thought you should behave, During my growing up, she was willing to endure endless questioning from me—Why do we have to cat eggs for breakfast? Why do people need jobs? Why are the houses bigger in their neighborhoods? Why do we need to study? She would listen patiently to my explanation, instead of speaking angrily to ne, if I had a fight with some of the neighbor kids.
In today's world, it is easy to think that she wasn't being responsible, and that she was letting the kids rule the roost. But that was not true. She and my father were devoted to their children, pouring a deep and long-lasting foundation of goodness and honesty, of right and wrong, into my brother and me. Even if I got bad grades at school, she never scolded me seriously. Instead, she always analyzed the reasons with me. What they did simply let us be ourselves.
…I see now bow important that kind of freedom is for all children, especially for girls… It's up to us, as mothers and mother figures, to give the girls in our lives the kind of support that lifts up their voices—not necessarily with our own words, but by letting them find the words themselves.
