3．"Depend on yourself"is what nature says to every man．Parents can help you．Teachers can help you．Others can help you．But all these only help you to help yourself．
    There have been many great men in history．But many of them were very poor in childhood and had no uncles，aunts or friends to help them．Schools were few and not very good．They couldn't depend upon them for an education．They saw how it was，and set to work with all their strength to know something．They worked their own way till they became well-known．
    One of the most famous teachers in England used to tell his pupils，"I can not make worthy men of you．But I can help make men of yourselves．"
    Some young men don't try their best to make themselves valuable to the human beings．They can never gain achievements unless they see their weak points and change their course．They are nothing now，and will be nothing as long as they live，unless they accept the advice of their parents and teachers and depend on their own efforts．

Until last year，the saddest thing of my life was that my wife Alice and I couldn't have any children．So we always   76invited   all the children in our street to our house for Christmas breakfast．
Last year，Alice died．I was very   77sad   and decided not to invite the children for Christmas breakfast．But Kathy and Pete，my next door   78neighbors，asked me to join them for dinner    79on   Christmas Eve．
As soon as I arrived and took off my coat，Kathy asked me，"Do you have any milk at your house？"
"Yes，"I   80replied．"If you need some，I'll go and get it right away．"
"Oh，that's all right．Come and sit down．The kids have been   81waiting   for you．Just give Peter your keys and let him do it．"
After a happy dinner with them，I went home．When I opened my door，I found my house had been decorated by Peter!It was   82just   as beautiful as each Christmas before．At that moment，I wished that I could still serve the Christmas breakfast，but I had   83made  no preparations （準(zhǔn)備）．
    Early the next morning，a little boy with a bag of candies   84rang   my bell．Before I could ask him what was happening，he was joining by two of his friends．Within fifteen minuets，my house was   85full   of children，and I had all the food I needed for the usual Christmas breakfast．I had a happy breakfast with the children again．
