If you want to get ahead in life, you have to set clear goals.
Many young married couples don’t realize how challenging raising chil-
dren can be until they have children of their own.
I can’t recall a time when my parents argued in front of me and my brothers.
When people focus too much on their careers, they sometimes neglect their family’s needs.
Watching too much TV can be a big distraction from building a good relationship with children.
My dad never thought I would make something of myself because I didn’t
graduate from a prestigious university, but I proved him wrong.

A HIKING FAMILY
My name’s Kevin Finer, and I’m originally from the state of Indiana in
the United States. When I was 19 years old, I moved to Venezuela in South
America, and later returned to the United States, where I attended Brigham Young University in the 1980s. I majored in Spanish education and TESOL,
or teaching English as a second language. After graduating from college,
my wife and I moved to Japan where we lived for eight years. Now, I work
back in the States in Utah.
However, my greatest interests are my family. Years ago, I wanted to
make something of myself in my profession… you know… get ahead in life.
However, I realized that the most important things in life lived within the walls of my own home, and today, I try to put them first. My kids wouldn’t remember me for the work I did outside of the home; they would only recall the moments we spent together.
Therefore, I enjoy spending time with my family. I have four children, and we go hiking and camping together, usually in Utah. On our hikes, we often talk about life, and I tell stories or share personal experiences. When I do this, I can focus on the kids without the distractions of video games or the Internet. Telling stories sounds easy, but when you have to think of a new story on a hot, 12-kilometer hike through the desert, you have come up with ideas off the top of your head.
Now, this doesn’t mean we don’t have problems; all families face chal- lenges in their lives, and our family is no exception. However, we try to talk openly about our problems, and we try to solve our problems together. Building a strong family takes time, but it is worth the effort.
1) Where did Kevin probably grow up?
a) in Indiana b) in Venezuela c) in Utah
2) What was his undergraduate major?
a) English b) Spanish c) Japanese
3) How many children does he have?
a) two b) three c) four
4) What does Kevin do on his hikes with his children?
a) He points out the wildlife and plants along the way. b) He enjoys telling them stories about his life.
c) He teaches them how to survive in emergency situations.
5) What point does Kevin make about raising children?
a) Enroll kids into schools early to help them learn better.
b) Be consistent in the way you administer discipline in the home.
c) Talk with your kids about problems so they learn how to solve them.
Key: 1 a, 2 b, 3 c, 4 b, 5 c.

FRIENDS HELP YOU LIVE LONGER
A new health report says that having good friends in your old age helps you live longer. The report also says that having close friends may be more important than having close family ties. Researchers interviewed
1,500 Australians over the age of 70 about their social and family ties. The results suggest that people with close friendships were 22 per cent more likely to live longer. The researchers said this is because of the positive ef- fects on the body of social activity and recreation.
The researchers analyzed data from an Australian study, which began in 1992. The 10-year-long study measured how behavioral, economic, envi- ronmental and social factors affected the health of 70-year-olds. The senior citizens were monitored annually for four years and then at three-yearly intervals. The team found that those with the strongest network of friends were less likely to die by the end of the ten-year period. This was true even when the senior citizen lost a spouse. The message is to keep in touch if you want to live longer.
