"Insect Diary": There are many insects, they do extremely valuable work in this world, although they have never received corresponding rewards and titles. When you approach one When you see a dead mole with ants, beetles and flies gathering on it, you may get goosebumps all over your body and run away. You will definitely think that they are terrible and dirty insects that are disgusting. The fact is not No, they are busy cleaning up the world. Let us observe a few of these flies, and we will know how beneficial their actions are to humans and the entire nature. You You must have seen blue flies, right? They are what we usually call "blow flies". They have beautiful golden-green coats with a metallic luster, and they also have a pair of big red eyes. When they smell out the When there is a dead animal far away, they will immediately rush there to lay eggs. A few days later, you will be surprised to find that the animal's body has turned into liquid, with thousands of small pointed-headed bugs inside. You will definitely find this method a bit distasteful, but apart from that, is there any other better and easier way to destroy the rotting and smelly animal carcasses, let them decompose into elements and be absorbed by the soil and then be used by others? What creatures provide nutrients? Who can make the corpse of a dead animal miraculously disappear and turn into a pool of liquid? It is the larvae of the blue fly. If the corpse has not been treated by the larvae of the blue fly, it will gradually If it is air-dried, it will take a long time to disappear. Like the larvae of other flies, blue flies have an amazing ability, that is, they can turn solid substances into liquid substances. Once I did an experiment, Throw a piece of cooked egg white to the bluefly as food, and it will immediately turn the piece of egg white into a puddle of liquid like water. And the thing that enables it to turn solid into liquid is in its mouth A kind of yeast that is spit out is just like the gastric juice in our stomach that can digest food. The larvae of blue flies rely on this kind of broth made by themselves to maintain their lives. In fact, those who can do this kind of work, In addition to blue flies, there are also gray flesh flies and another large flesh fly. You can often see this kind of fly buzzing on the glass window. Be sure not to let it land on what you want to eat. , otherwise, it will make your food full of bacteria. But you don’t have to kill them unceremoniously like mosquitoes, just drive them out. Because outside the room, they But nature is the hero. They use the corpses of once-living animals to generate new life at the fastest speed. They turn the corpses into an inorganic substance that is absorbed by the soil, making our soil fertile and forming new ones. A virtuous cycle.

Insect Diary is also called "Insect Story" and "Entomological Notes". "Reader": Like Spring Milton. Kaplan Wang Chenghui ------ I stopped for breakfast in front of the corner grocery store. Because I was a little late, I ate some donuts in a hurry. After drinking coffee, I hurried into the subway station and ran down the steps. , I caught up with the train I usually take. I grabbed the suspender belt and pretended to read the newspaper, but kept scanning the people crowded around me. They were still the people I saw every day. They knew me, and I also We knew them, but we didn't smile, like strangers we met by chance. I listened to them talking about their worries and friends, and I also hoped that someone would come and chat with me to break the monotonous sound of the long iron ride. The subway was approaching Di Street. I became nervous again. She usually got on the bus at that stop. She behaved politely and didn't push and push like others. She always squeezed into a small place, right next to people, holding on to a roughly The office envelope that contained her lunch. She never brought a newspaper or a book; I think if you were in this situation, even if you wanted to read a book or newspaper, you wouldn't be able to read it------ She Dressed in bright outdoor attire, I guessed she lived in New Jersey. These New Jersey natives arrived at the station. Her face was beautiful and clean, with no need for makeup or powder. She never wore any makeup except lipstick. She was naturally Her wavy hair was a harmonious light brown, like the hue of falling aspen leaves. The rest she did was hold on to the shaft of the car, thinking of her own ideas. Her bright blue eyes were full of warmth. I always like to look at her, but I have to be careful, lest she find me looking at her, lest she be angry, lest she leave me, then I won't have any friends, because she is my only real friend, even though She doesn't seem to know yet. I'm alone in New York. I think I'm a little shy and don't make friends easily. My companions all have families and they have to live their own lives. How can I invite people to my single room? ? So they had to take their Yangguan Road and I crossed my single-plank bridge. ------ This city really bothers me. It's too big and noisy - too many people for a solitary traveler like me. I probably couldn't get used to it. I was used to the quietness of the little New Hampshire farm, but there wasn't any great future there. When I got out of the Navy, I applied for the position at the bank. I figured it would be a good opportunity. , but I am lonely. When riding in the car and my body sways with the movement of the car, I like to imagine that she and I are friends. Sometimes I am even tempted to smile at her and be friendly instead of saying things like "It's a nice morning, isn't it?" or something like that. But I would be panicked. She might think I was cunning and would be cold to me, as if she didn't see me at all, as if I didn't exist. So the next morning, she Not here anymore, and I don't have anyone to think about. I've always dreamed that maybe one day I'd get to know her. You know, naturally. Maybe like this: She comes in through the car door, and someone pushes her so that she It rubbed me. She would quickly say: "Oh, please------ forgive me." I would politely raise my hat and reply: "It doesn't matter at all" and smile to her to show that I didn't care. So she would smile back and say, "It's a nice day, isn't it?" Then I'd say, "Like spring." We probably wouldn't say anything more, but when she was about to get out of the car on 34th Street, she would probably look towards her. I gently waved and said "goodbye", and then tilted my hat again. The next morning, when she came in and saw me, she would say "hello!" or "good morning!" Then I would say hello to her, too. I would tell her that I still knew a little bit about spring. I would not tell her any wisecracks, because I didn’t want her to think of me as a glib person who casually picks up girls on the subway. Soon, we will have some friendship. ,open

We started talking about the weather and the news. One day she would say, "Don't you think it's funny? We talk here every day, but we don't even know each other's names." I stood up straight, tilted my hat and said, "I like it. You know Mr. Thomas Pierce." She would also say seriously: "Hello, Mr. Pierce. I want you to know Miss Elizabeth Artemes." She must be wearing Those white gloves that girls always wear in the spring. People around us will smile, and they will share in our joy. "Thomas," she said, as she tried to pronounce my name. "Fuck." What?" I asked. "I can't call you Thomas." She said, "That's too formal." "My friends call me Tommy." I told her. "My friends call me Betty. "That's probably going to be the case. Maybe soon I will mention the name of a good movie that is being shown in the concert hall, and if she is free, I will suggest that she watch it - and she will immediately say: "Oh, I like to watch it too! "I would finish my work early and pick her up at her workplace, and we would go out to find a place to have dinner together. During the meal, I would talk to her, tell her about New Haner, and maybe talk about ------ me How lonely I used to be, if it was a quiet and comfortable seat, I might tell her how shy I used to be. She would stare at me with shining eyes and listen carefully, clasping the fingers of her hands, leaning on the table, letting me I could smell the fragrance of her hair. She would whisper: "I'm shy too." We were back to back, smiling quietly, and then eating without saying anything else. After that, we would go to the theater to enjoy movies together. Sometimes during the highlights of the movie, Her hand would probably touch mine, or maybe I would accidentally touch her hand with my body, and she wouldn’t move away, so I would grab it. Here I am, among thousands of people, and I no longer feel lonely: I and I I was with my girlfriend. Then, I would give her a ride home. She wouldn't let me walk the whole way. "I live in New Jersey." She would say, "It was really nice of you to take me home, but I I can't ask you to walk a long way like this. Don't worry, I'm fine." But I would grab her arm and say, "Come with me. I'm going to take you home. I love New Jersey." We would take the bus. *** The car passed through George. The Washington Bridge, across the black and mysterious Hudson River flowing beneath it, arrived at New Jersey ------. We saw the lights in her courtyard, and she would invite me in, but I just It was too late, so she would plead with me: "Then you have to promise me to come to dinner on Sunday this week." I said yes, and then... the train slowed down because of the stop, and people tried to steady themselves. This was the first At the street station, a large group of people were waiting to get on the bus. I longed to find her, but I couldn't see her anywhere. I felt depressed, but at this moment I found her on the other side. She was wearing a new hat with a few flowers on it. Xiaohua. As soon as the car door opened, people poured in. She was caught in the crowd and couldn't move. She slammed into me and desperately grabbed the sling I was holding. "Please forgive me." She panted. I My hands were pressed and I couldn't tilt my hat, but I politely replied: "It doesn't matter." The door closed and the train started to move. She had no other choice but to grab my suspenders. "It's a beautiful day today." , is it?" she said. The train was turning, and the wheels scraped against the rails, making a sharp sound, just like the birds singing in New Orleans. My heart was beating crazily. "Like spring." I said. Enlightenment: "Reader" is continuing to develop with a strong momentum. As a member of the "Reader" family, we are proud and proud. However, the development of anything has its intermission period. "Victory and decline" is an unbreakable subversion. Although "Reader" is a myth in China, this myth also faces many problems. Moving forward in waves is a natural law that nothing can escape. As far as the circulation of "Reader" is concerned, it is It has basically reached the peak of its volume. If the operators of "Reader" are not vigilant and do not make timely reforms to adapt to the development of the market, a decline in circulation is inevitable. This is not alarmist, it has certain basis. First of all, with the world Compared with the top-ranked American "Reader's Digest", the two have different cultural foundations. They target English readers around the world and have a wide audience, while the audience of "Reader" is mainly Chinese whose native language is Chinese. And it requires a certain amount of cultural accumulation. The domestic market of "Reader" has basically reached saturation. In the international market, due to the limitations of the language system, the audience is limited.

Targeting readers to non-Chinese audiences is still a blank. Secondly, with the development of information technology, especially the popularization of computers, modern people's reading methods are gradually becoming electronic. Print media is facing severe tests, and the future potential readers of "Readers" is gradually decreasing. In addition, although in the process of globalization, we basically implement protection policies for cultural industries, with the gradual advancement of globalization, multiculturalism will inevitably enter the Chinese market, which will have a great impact on China’s cultural industries. The impact. In this context, the development of "Reader" will definitely face severe challenges. In addition, with the rapid development of the economy, the pace of modern people's lives is getting faster and faster, and fast-food style short articles are gradually becoming people's habit. Print media is the main way to obtain information, and "Reader", which enlightens people's thoughts with philosophical long articles, is gradually fading out of people's sight. Because the absolute time people spend reading print media is decreasing, and in print media, short articles It is more in line with people's modern life rhythm. Finally, the biggest headache is piracy. As modern instruments gradually become available, piracy will have a greater negative impact in many aspects. The most direct impact is the reduction in the circulation of genuine books, and the more direct impact is the reduction in the circulation of genuine books. Poor book quality will mislead readers, thereby misleading readers about the reader's understanding of "Reader" itself, causing the inherent audience to gradually lose. In this context, looking back at the current "Reader", we should have a sense of "the high place is too cold" Awareness of crisis. As a young boy who just graduated from college, it seems a bit unfounded for me to talk about the Bible and preach here. But I want to say that I chose "Reader" and I hope it can develop in a long and healthy way. This paragraph During the time, I listened to the lectures given by the bosses and went to the printing factory for an internship. I was deeply touched. I also thought about how to promote the continuous development of "Reader". The following are some of my humble opinions. If they can inspire you It would be a great pride and honor for me to lead some strategic development inspirations.
