16、mong the Plan people. For a long time, milk was considered a luxury drink by common people. A widespread saying in the country was that Japan used a cup of milk to strengthen the constitution (体格) of its people. That sounds reasonable because the rich “Ca“ in milk definitely benefits the constitutio
17、n.The average annual consumption per capita in Japan has risen from less than 10 kilograms immediately after World War II to 68 kilograms today. The average height of Japanese has increased by 11 centimeters during this period. The Chinese government also hopes to improve the constitution of local p
18、eople, and since milk is the most obvious nutritious food, it has naturally picked up. But due to tradition, Chinese people are not in the habit of drinking milk regularly. The annual output of milk in the country is about 8 million tons. The annual milk consumption per capita is about 7 kilograms i
19、n China while the worlds average is about 100 kilograms. The government has noticed the huge gap and plans to raise consumption to 10 kilograms per capita by 2010 and 16 kilograms by 2015.

23、arvard Law School, Reg is making careful plans. After earning his degree, he expects to return to the South to practice law among the poor. “I want to help them understand what their rights are and to help them achieve them,“ he says. Then he hopes to run for political office at the local and state
24、level until he is ready to try for Congress.Reg grew up in a low-income Negro section of Birmingham, Alabama. Brought up by his grandparents after his parents were divorced while he was very young, Reg has been living through a period of far-reaching progress in race relations. In the summer of 1968
25、 Reg himself became a good example of this progress when he became the first Negro student appointed to a special new program. The program introduces bright young students to the workings of the Georgia State government and encourages them to seek employment there after finishing their education. “I
26、ve been lucky,“ he says. “I seem to have been in the right place at the right time.“But luck is only part of Regs story, for he has made the most of opportunities that came his way.

27、ncouraged him, though neither of them had much education, and they bought him a set of encyclopedias. “I loved those books,“ he remembers. “I used to come downstairs before breakfast and read short articles. I enjoyed reading about famous men, and then I would pretend to be one of them. I guess it w
28、as partly a childish game and partly an escape. It wasnt too much fun to be a Negro when I was a kid.“While studying for his bachelors degree at Morehouse College, Reg worked on several political campaigns helping candidates get elected to government offices.

E
35、very year, the number of crimes goes up and up. And many criminals are young. The) often come from sad homes, with only one parent or no parents at all.There are many young criminals in prison. But prison doesnt change them. Six or seven in ten will go back to crime when they come out of prison.One
36、man, Bob Burton, thought of a new idea. In the old days, young men had to live a difficult life on the road. They learned to be strong and brave, and to help their friends in time of danger. This helped them to grow into men. So Bob Burton started “Vision Quest“. He takes young criminals on a long,
37、long journey with horses and wagons, 3 000 miles through seven states. They are on the road for more than a year.The young people on Vision Quest all have had problems. Most of them have already spent time in prison. This is their last chance.Its hard work on the road. The day starts before the sun
38、comes up. The boys and girls have to feed the horses. Some of them have never loved anyone before. But they can love their horses. That love can help them to a new life.Not all the young people on Vision Quest will leave crime behind them. Three or four in ten will one day be in prison again. Bob Bu

42、 has a profound effect on his academic progress. Kids who have trouble getting along with their classmates can end up behind academically as well and have a higher chance of dropping out. In the early grades especially, experts say, youngsters should be encouraged to work in groups rather than indiv
43、idually so that teachers can spot children who may be having problems making friends. “When children work on a project“, says Lillian Kates, an educational professor at the University of Illinois, “they learn to work together, to disagree, to think, to take turns and lighten tensions (紧张)“. These sk
44、ills cant be learned through lectures. We all know people who have wonderful technical skills but dont have any social skills.
