It is widely acknowledged that it is by no means an easy task to bring up a child well. And our ancestors already understood it well．“It takes an entire village to raise a child．”That’s an old proverb that is being quoted more and more often these days．And I’m pleased about that．

Today，more and more schools are reaching out to involve parents, community members and businesses to help shape a child’s future.

Parents need to be involved in their children’s education in many ways．Helping children with homework and studying，going on a field trip，teaching a craft(手工艺)or coaching a child's sports team are all great ways to be involved with your child's education．And don’t forget to communicate with teachers — they need and respect your input．Studies show that children learn more and schools function better when parents and schools work together．It’s important to stay in touch with your child's education all through his or her school career．

Communities can help children create and achieve new goals．Help with homework, read to a child，coach a children's team，or provide emotional support．Help solve problems and build self-esteem(自尊).Kids need role models and advisers can be role models by sharing their experiences and wisdom．

Businesses can also help shape our children’s future．invite a class from your local school to visit your workplace．You may be providing a glimpse that opens a new world of possibilities．Show students what goes on during a typical day．Give a mini course for students：how to use a computer；how products are made；how machinery works. You may have a developing electrician，teacher，nurse，or even a newspaper reporter on your hands.

22、Who was Clara Barton? For most people,the easy answer to that question is that she was a nurse during the Civil War. The truth is that her Work during the war represents a small part of a long, extraordinary life.Barton never married and never had children. Instead of devoting herself to one family, she worked much more widely.And while she focused on the needs of humanity,she became famous at a time when women were not expected to have full lives outside their homes and families.

Barton was; described as an extremely shy child. But she is remembered today as a fearless advocate for people in need. She also met powerful men-lawmakers,generals,and world leaders-who became supporters in her work to help others.

When the Civil War began in 1861, Henry Wilson met Barton when they both tried to organize supplies and aid for injured soldiers arriving in the nation's capital.

He put Barton in charge of nursing in a mobile hospital.When he later became governor of Massachusetts, he appointed Barton in charge of the Massachusetts Reformatory Prison.

During Barton's first visit to Europe, she met Swiss doctor Louis Appia. Appia was one of the founders of the International Committee of the Red Cross.Although Barton had not heard of the organization, Appia was familiar with Barton's work during the Civil War. Their meeting gave Barton the idea to establish the American Red Cross. She spent a decade persuading American leaders to support the organization.

24、   Bookshops are among some of the most inspiring places in the world. Among shelves of books, under dim（昏暗的）lights, you can relax and let your imagination take flight. Here are some of the most interesting ones from around the world.

Liyraria Ler Devagar — Lisbon, Portugal

This is an incredible modem bookshop located in a former industrial textile warehouse. The building also houses advertising agencies, designer shops and art galleries. You can enjoy a coffee and admire the quirky（怪异的）surroundings, such as the sculpture of a woman on a flying bicycle. On Sundays it turns into a market selling antiques and crafts.

Barter Books — Alnwick, United Kingdom

Located in a Victorian train station in a small village in England, this second-hand bookshop（where you can buy books as well as trade them）, is one of the largest of its kind and was opened in 1991. The shop’s claim to fame is that it rediscovered the Second World War “Keep Calm and Carry On” posters in an old box of books and now you see that iconic slogan everywhere!

Liyraria Lello e Irmao — Porto, Portugal

The building itself is a work of art and is full of history. It was founded in 1869 and has been named one of the most beautiful bookshops in the world, but is perhaps more famous for being the location of several scenes in the Harry Potter films. What is most impressive about this building is the beautiful wooden staircase and the stained glass windows in the ceiling that reflect around the room.

Shakespeare and Co. — Paris, France

These days, this place is as much of a tourist attraction as it is a bookshop. Next to Notre Dame Cathedral, this cramped（狭小的）and chaotic place（especially when it is full of tourists）is incredibly attractive. Upstairs, the bookshop houses travelers who work in the bookshop for a few hours each day and below is a wishing well that many throw their coins into.
