　　An old carpenter(木匠)was ready to retire(退休)．He told his boss that he was leaving to live an easy life with his family．

　　The boss was sorry to see his best worker go and asked if he could build just one more house．The carpenter said yes, but it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work．He used bad wood and didn’t work as well as before．

　　When the carpenter finished his work, his boss came to see the house．Then he handed the front-door key to the carpenter and said, “This is your house…my gift to you．”

　　The carpenter was surprised!

　　If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all differently．

　　So it is the same with us．We build our lives, a day at a time, often putting less than our best into the building．Then, in surprise, we know that we have to live in the house we have built．If we could do it again, we would do it much differently．But you cannot go back．

　　Someone once said, “Life is a do-it-yourself job．” So, build your house well!

　　Good reading tips (建議)：

　　Try to read at the right level (水平)．Read something that you can (more or less)understand．If you need to stop every three words to use a dictionary，it is not interesting．

　　Try to increase the number of your new words．If there are four or five new words on a page，write them in your notebook．But you don't have to write them while you read．Instead try to guess their meaning as you read；mark them with a pen．Then come back when you have finished reading to look them up in a dictionary and write them in your own vocabulary (詞匯) book．Then try to remember them．

　　Try to read regularly (定期)．For example，read for a short time once a day．Fifteen minutes every day is better than two hours every Sunday．Fix (固定) a time to read and keep to it．For example，you could read for fifteen minutes when you go to bed，or when you get up or you are at lunchtime．

　　Read what interests you．Choose a book or a magazine about a subject that you like，because you are going to spend time and money to read it．So choose an interesting book．You can also read newspapers．There are many English newspapers in China．For example，21st Century Teens．It's easy enough for you to understand．There is something interesting in it．
