There is an old Chinese tale about a woman whose only son died. In her grief (悲痛), she went to the holy man (圣人) and asked, “What magical things do you have to bring my son back to life?”
Instead of sending her away or saying a few words to comfort her, the holy man said to her, “Bring me a mustard (芥菜) seed from a home that has never known sorrow. We will use it to drive the sorrow out of your life.” The woman went off at once in search of that magical seed.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
She first came to a beautiful castle, knocked at the door, and said, “I am looking for a home that has never known sorrow. Is this such a place? It is very important to me.”
They told her, “You’ve certainly come to the wrong place.” And then they began to describe all the bad things that had recently happened to them.
The woman said to herself, “Who is better able to help these unfortunate people than I?” So she stayed to comfort them, and then went on in search of a home that had never known sorrow. But wherever she turned, in hotels or in other places, she found one tale after another of sadness and misfortune.
The woman became so busy helping others to deal with their sorrows that she finally let go of her own. She would later come to understand that it was the search for the magical mustard seed that drove away her suffering.【版权所有：21教育】 1. Leaving the holy man, the woman .

Reading is important, but getting kids to enjoy reading can be quite difficult. There are two steps you can take to help kids to enjoy reading. Firstly you need to find something they actually want to read. Then, you need to get them to read school books, but this is not the place to start.
So how do you choose something for your kids to read? You have to find out what your kids enjoy. It doesn’t matter what you buy, so long as your kids will find it interesting. A book given as a reward (奖励) will often be more enjoyed by kids. If your kids have just done well at something, this is a good time to give them a new book.
The second thing you need to consider is where your kids are going to read. I strongly suggest creating a “reading space” in their room and also a time for them to read on their own, ideally just before bed time.
There is another way to really speed up your kids’ reading. It is to get them writing. When you set up their “reading space”, be sure to give them a diary and a pen. Just by writing a few sentences each day they will improve their skills.
C. abc
D. cde
