【正文】 at.I’ve been a newspaperman all my life. My daughter is a university graduate working towards her master’s degree in English. But Jody? When he entered the tenth grade he became a “votech” student (技校學(xué)生). They’re called “motorheads” by the rest of the students. When a secretary in my office first called him “motorhead”, I was shocked. “Hey, he’s a good kid, ” I wanted to say. “And smart, really.”I learned later that motorheads are, indeed, different. They usually have dirty hands and wear dirty work clothes. And they don’t often make school honor rolls (光榮榜). But being the parent of a motorhead is itself an experience in education. We who labor in clean shirts in offices don’t have the abilities that motorheads have. I began to learn this when I had my car crashed. The cost to repair it was estimated at $800. “Hey, I can fix it,” said Jody. I doubted it, but let him go ahead, for I had nothing to lose. My son, with other motorheads, fixed the car. They got parts from a junkyard, and ability from votech classes. The cost was $25 instead of $800.Since that first repair job, a broken airconditioner, a nonfunctioning washer and a nontoasting toaster have been fixed. Neighbours and coworkers trust their car repairs to him.These kids are happiest when doing repairs. They joke and laugh and are living in their own relaxed world. And their minds are bright despite their dirty hands and clothes.I have learned a lot from my motorhead: publishers need printers, engineers need mechanics, and architects need builders. Most important, I have learned that fathers don’t need clones in footsteps or anywhere else.My son may never make the school honor roll. But he made mine.25.

It is unwise to expect your child to follow your path.CFor your next outofthisworld vacation, you now have the option of literally going out of this world—but it’ll cost you $ 40 million. Then again, can you really put a price tag on having the time of your life? According to a new report from Popular Mechanics, Russia is looking to build a luxury hotel in outer space. There you will wake up to a breathtaking blue planet—the earth! The hotel is expected to be stationed on the International Space Station (ISS).While space tourism itself isn’t exactly a novel idea, the notion of building a hotel out there hasn’t been raised before. Really, other panies are still focused on the transportation, after all, a trip to space is enough for most people.According to Popular Mechanics, the hotel will include a luxury orbital(軌道的) suite with big windows, personal hygiene (衛(wèi)生) facilities, exercise equipment, and yes, WiFi. Obviously, did it really even happen that you can’t share your experience on social media?Of course, the reasons behind the hotel aren’t just for fun and games. Apparently, space tourism might be able to help the Russians pay for another module to add to the international Space Station. Russian space contractor（承包商）RKK Energia is currently building the first such module, which will give scientists a laboratory and power supply station from which to conduct tests.If any of this is going to happen, however, Russia is going to have to hurry. With the ISS expected to be out of use in 2028, there’s little time to build the hotel and find wealthy tourists to actually buy a trip into outer space.So if you’ve recently e into a fortune and are interested in investing in what could be the time of your life, ISS is calli
