The story of "Who Moved My Cheese?" was created by Dr. Spencer. Johnson to help him deal with a difficult change in his life. It showed him how to take his changing situation seriously but not take himself so seriously.
When his friends noticed how much better life had become for him, and asked why, Dr. Johnson shared his "Cheese" story. Many later said how greatly the story had helped them to keep their sense of humor, to change, and to gain something better, too.
Twenty years after the story was created, "Who Moved My Cheese?" was finally published. It soon became a No.1 international best seller, with one million hardcover copies in print within the first sixteen months and over ten million copies within the next two years.
Some critics (批评家) do not understand why so many people find the book so valuable. They say the story is simple enough for a child to understand, and it insults (侮辱) their intelligence. Some even fear it suggests that people should mindlessly accept unnecessary changes forced upon them by others, although that is not in the story.
The author said that both the fans and the critics are "right" in their own way. It is not what is in the story of "Who Moved My Cheese?" but how you understand it and apply it to your own situation that gives it value.
Hopefully the way you understand the story of "Who Moved My Cheese?" and the way you put it into action in your life will help you find and enjoy the "New Cheese" you deserve (应得).

Frankenstein is one of the world’s most famous horror stories. It’s about a doctor who creates a new man from the body parts of dead people and brings it to life. But the experiment goes wrong and the monster(怪兽) kills the doctor and many others. The story has been read by millions since it was first published and in the last hundred years it has been made into dozens of movies. Many people are surprised to learn its writer was a 19-year-old woman, called Mary Shelley.
Mary was born into a rich London family in August 1797. She was educated by her parents and when she was 13 she decided to become a writer. In 1812, she met the famous writer Percy Shelley and they soon got married. Sadly for Mary, their first child died soon after birth in Italy. In her diary, Mary wrote about a dream:“I dreamt that my little baby came to life again---that it had only been cold and that we rubbed it before the fire and it lived.”
In 1816, Percy Shelley and 19-year-old Mary visited the poet Lord Byron at his home in Switzerland. Because of the bad weather they stayed indoors reading horror stories. On night, Byron asked everyone to write their own story. Mary thought of her dream and wrote the story of Frankenstein
Frankenstein was published when Mary was 21, and became a huge success. Many people didn’t think a 19-year-old woman could write so well and believed her husband was the real writer.
Although famous, Shelley’s life was full of sadness. Only one of her four children lived and in 1822 her husband died in a swimming accident. Mary was broken-hearted and decided not to marry again. She devoted herself to her child and continued to write until her death in 1851.

Many years ago, my father told me a real and dangerous story about helping a stranger who was hit by a car.
My father was in a hurry. That day he had an important trade talk. Suddenly, he saw a man lying in the street. The man was bleeding. At first, my father thought that the man was dead; however, he decided to help him at once.
My father couldn’t believe many people’s apathy towards this terrible scene. No one was helping the man. They were passing by in their cars to look at him and then driving on. My father thought that this was completely unacceptable. My father took him to the nearest hospital. He feared that the stranger could die because he was losing so much blood.
The unexpected situation happened when my father tried to go back for the 9 o’clock meeting. The police stopped him and said he could not leave the hospital until the man woke up. My father was very angry at that, but he couldn’t do anything. My father was worried about the man. He was trying to help and be kind. On the other hand, he was also worried about himself. If the stranger died, my father might be thought to be the murderer. He was feeling very nervous because he didn’t know what was going to happen to the stranger.
Luckily, the stranger woke up after nearly an hour and talked to the police. And my father was no longer considered a murderer. He left the hospital feeling very strange. He felt happy because he had saved a human being, but at the same time he felt stressed because if the stranger had died, he would have been in big trouble.
That morning my father’s absence from the trade talk caused a lot of loss, but he told me he didn’t regret.
