1. I
never knew anyone who’d grown up in Jackson without being afraid of
Mrs
．
Calloway, our librarian
．

She ran Jackson’s Carnegie Library absolutely by
herself
．
SILENCE in big black letters was on signs hung everywhere
．
If she thought you
were dressed improperly, she sent you straight back home to change your clothes
．
I was
willing; I would do anything to read
．

My mother was not afraid of Mrs
．
Calloway
．
She wished me to have my own library
card to check out books for myself
．
She took me in to introduce me
．

“Eudora is nine years
old and has my permission to read any book she wants from the shelves, children or adults,
”
Mother said
．

Mrs
．
Calloway made her own rules about books
．
You could not take back a book to the
library on the same day you’d tak
en it out;
it made no difference to her that you’d read
every word in it and needed another to start
．
You could take out two books at a time and
two only
．
So two by two, I read library books as fast as I could go, rushing them home in
the basket of my bicycle
．
From the minute I reached our house, I started to read
．
I knew
this was extreme happiness, knew it at the time
．

My mother shared ________ of mine
．
Now, I think of her as reading so much of the time
while doing something else
．
I remember her reading a magazine while taking the part of
the Wolf in a game of“Little Red Riding Hood” with my brother’s two daughters
．

She’d just
look up at the right time, long enough to answer
﹣
in character
﹣

“The better to eat you
with, my dear,
” and go back to h
er place in the magazine article
．

2. Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is road testing a new way to keep winter roads ice
﹣
free
﹣
by
spreading on them cheese brine, the salty liquid used to make soft cheeses, like mozzarella
．

Wisconsin,
also called “America’s Dairylan
d,
” is famous for its cheese
．
The state
produced 2.8 billion pounds of cheese last year! As a result, there was a lot of leftover
cheese brine
．
Disposing of
（处置）
the brine can be expensive
．
So what should cheese
makers do with the waste?
Normally, towns use rock salt to de
﹣
ice streets
．
The salt lowers water’s freezing
point, causing ice to melt
（融化）
．
But using cheese brine could help both cheese
producers and cities save money, while keeping roads safe, Cheese brine has salt in
it, which, like the rock salt,
helps lower water’s freezing point
．

In addition to saving money, cheese brine could also be a more eco
﹣
friendly
option
．
Many people suspect that all the rock salt used every winter is harming the
environment
．

Rock salt is made of sodium chloride, the same compound
（化合物）
in ordinary table
salt
．
Sounds harmless, right? But while you probably add only a small amount of salt to
your food, road crews spread about 20 million tons of salt on U
．
S
．
roads every year!
The chemical washes off roads and goes into the ground
．
There it can pollute drinking
water, harm plants, and eat away soil
．
By spreading cheese brine on streets before adding
a layer of rock salt, Milwaukee may be able to cut its rock salt use by 30 percent
．

Cheese brine has a downside too
﹣
a smell similar to that of bad milk
．

“I don’t really
mind it,
” Emil Norby told Modern Farmer magazine
．

He works for one of Wisconsin’s
county highway commissions and came up with the idea of using cheese brine
．

smell like Wisconsin!

3.
Today’s world
is not an easy adjustment for young adults
．
A key skill set for success is
persistence
（毅力）
, a characteristic that researchers say is heavily influenced by
fathers
．
Researchers from Brigham Young University discovered that fathers are in a unique
position to help their adolescent children learn persistence
．

BYU professors Laura Padilla
﹣
Walker and Randal Day arrived at these findings after
following 325 American families over several years
．
And over time, the persistence gained
through fathers led to higher achievement in school

in school

This particular study examined 11 to 14

parent homes
