Building Your Children’ s Social Skills
Parents should help build their children’ s social skills, which will affect their relationships now and in the future. To start with, tell them that learning social skills is as important as mastering a language or riding a bicycle.
1. Set an example
1 the way you interact with others teaches your child how to act. For example, if you want help, you should say, “Excuse me, would you mind helping me...?”
2. Encourage sharing and taking turns
The foundation to almost all pre---school relationships is sharing and taking turns. 2 Children who experience problems relating to other children often have not learned to share or take turns. However, if parents encourage their
children to share toys and other things with other children, they will get along well with them, not just now but all their lives.
3. Practice social skills.
Practice social skills with your child through interaction(互动). 3 For instance, not interrupting people when they are talking is a way of behaving that children should learn from early on.
4. Give them opportunities to play
4 For instance, take your child to a play group which includes other children of his or her age. As your child grows older, resist the temptation to butt in (介入); in other words, let your child form peer (同龄人) relationships by himself or herself
5. 5
Teach problem solving as a response to problems with social skills. When your child reports a problem with another child to you, ask questions about possible reasons for the other child’s behavior. By understanding why a peer acts in a certain way, your child can come up with ways to respond.
A. Teach problem solving
B. Communicate with others
C. Model the ways you want to see your child behaving
D. Encourage your child to share and take turns whenever possible
E. This is the best way to let a child know what your expectations are
F. Provide a reward by playing a game when your child behaves well
G. Provide opportunities for your child to play with other children from an early age.
（三）
Using social media positively
Social media is so common in our society that almost everyone is connected to some form of it, whether it is Twitter, Facebook or even Pinterest. We are in a fast-paced, technologically evolving society and we are addicted to social media. 1
So how does one ensure a positive online reputation? It’s simple:
Keep it clean. 2 Party photos with alcohol are an absolute no-no. Would you want to have your boss see these photos? Make sure to post contents that you feel positively reflect you, your creativity and your skills.
3 You have a private Twitter account so you can post anything you want? This is decidedly not the case. Privacy settings make it harder to see your full account, but it’s not imp ossible. Under no circumstance should you rely on privacy settings as a way to protect inappropriate contents.
4 Keep it classy(优等的)! Discover your brand, or what you want people to think of you. Proper spelling and grammar is always a plus, but it may not be your brand. Think about what you want people to think of you and go with it.
Follow these simple rules and you’re on your way to building, or restoring an online reputation. Using social media positively doesn’t mean you can't have fun and use it to express yourself; however, you want to ensure that you’re OK with anyone seeing everything you post. 5
Like it or not, your social networks reflect you--- make sure you look like the shining star that you truly are.
A. Ensure you’re profession al.
B. In fact, we long for social media.
C. Social media is common now.
D. Don’t trust privacy settings.
E. Be entirely sure about what you’re posting.
F. Once you click post, there’s no looking back.
G. Make sure your post is written personally.

Worry problems are everywhere in our daily life. How to solve them? The answer is that we must equip ourselves to deal with different kinds of worries by learning the three basic steps of problem analysis. The three steps are: Get the facts
Why is it so important to get the facts? Unless you have the facts, you can’t possibly attempt to solve your problem intelligently. Without the facts, all you can do is wondering around in confusion. It is not an easy job to get facts. When you are worried, your emotions are riding high. 1 .
When trying to get the facts, you can pretend that you are collecting this information not for yourself but for some other person. 2 You can also pretend that you are a lawyer preparing to agree. Try to get all the facts both on your side and the other side of the case. You will generally find the truth lies somewhere in between.
3
Whenever you are worried, write down the questions that make you worry. And write out all the various steps you could take and then the probable consequences of each step. For example, what am I worrying about? What can I do about it? Here is what I’m going to do about it. After carefully weighing all the facts, you can calmly come to a decision.
Act on that decision.
4 How can you break the worry habit before it breaks you? Crowd worry out of your mind by keeping busy. Plenty of action is one of the best ways to cure worry.
5 If you know a situation is beyond your power, say to yourself: “ It is so; it can’t be otherwise.”Don’t permit little things to ruin your happiness. Try to cultivate a mental attitude that will bring you peace and happiness.
A. Accept what can’t be avoided.
B. Analyze the facts.
C. There comes a time when you must decide and never look back.
D. But here are two ideas that can help you see the facts in a clear and objective way.
E. Unless you take your action, all your face-finding and analysis is a sheer waste of energy.
F. Decide how much anxiety a thing may be worth.
G. This will help you to take a cold and fair view of the evidence.

Four Habits to Help You Succeed
We all want to succeed, whether it’s in losing weight or learning to play the guitar. For those who have tried and failed, success seems difficult to understand. Why does one person succeed where another person fails? 1
1. Identify your core values.
Finding your core values is in line with creating inner motivation. 2Pick a handful of things and actually write them down. Remind yourself of your values every day, and reflect on whether you are sticking to those values through your work.
2. Pick a goal and focus on it.
Choose one goal to start something large enough that will give you a sense of achievement, while adjusting well to your core values. Focus is key here. 3If you perform many tasks at a time, you might never complete your projects because they will take far too long.
3. Set a deadline for success.
Set a date for success. Identify when you hope to achieve your goal. 4By setting a time limit, you are making the process more real.
4. 5
Failure can’t be a voided when you take risks. By its very definition, the desire to succeed means you are risking failure. Many people tend to give up far too early. Don’t fall into this trap! Know it will happen. A failure is only you working out the details, and learning what works and what doesn’t. Use failure. Treat it as a good thing, and move on!
A. Sit and think about what you value most.
B. Stick to your goal.
C. The more focused you are on one goal, the higher chance you have of success.
D. I’ve made a list of four habits to help you set goals and achieve them.
E. Push yourself to be courageous, and take that next step.
F. Keep it realistic, while not giving you too much time.
G. Make the right decision.

How to Sleep Better
If you’re having trouble getting good sleep through the night (turning，waking up more than once，for example)，this text will tell you what you can do to ensure a peaceful night’s sleep.
1．Get on schedule. Changing your sleeping time by more than an hour can severely disturb your sleep
quality. 1 For example，if you normally wake up at 6 am on weekdays to get to work，you might go to bed around 10 pm，because that’s when you start to feel sleepy，and it’s also a good time to ensure 8 hours of sleep. If，on the weekend，you sleep until 9 am，you probably won’t be able to fall asleep that night until 1 am.
2. 2 Wait at least three hours after dinner before going to sleep. Digestion slows down while asleep，and a full stomach may interrupt sleep .Similarly，you should avoid going to bed on an empty stomach，as a completely empty stomach may equally disturb your sleeping patterns.
3． 3 Exposure to light during the time when you’re supposed to be sleeping can disrupt your body’s internal clock. Turn your light off，or use a very dim night light. 4 They include windows，LED clocks，computer lights and cable boxes.
4．Change your sleeping position. You may think that it’s impossible to control what position you sleep in since you aren’t fully aware of what you are doing，but it is possible and it can make a considerable difference. 5
A．Try to avoid all sources of light.
B．Keep the room as dark as possible.
C．Make note of unusual circumstances.
D．Be mindful of what you eat or drink before bed.
E．Sleep is considered to be adequate only when there is no daytime sleepiness.
F．In other words，sudden change of sleeping time will affect your “biological clock”．
G．If you wake up in the middle of the night，make an effort to have a comfortable position.

Are you truly happy? Do you ever know what it means to be happy and what it takes to achieve happiness? 1 The following are a few tips that I follow to create happiness in my life.
Make a plan for achieving goals that you believe will make you happy. Your moods will very likely increase if you are going after something you value.
Surround yourself with happy people. It is easy to begin to think negatively when you are surrounded by people who think that way. 2
When something goes wrong, try to figure out a solution instead of being absorbed in self pity. Truly happy people don’t allow setbacks (挫折) to affect their mood because they know that with a little thought they can turn the things back to their favor.
3 These few minutes will give you the opportunity to focus on the positive things in your life and will lead you to continuous happiness.
4 Whether you treat yourself to lunch, take a long, relaxing bath or simply spend a few extra minutes on your appearance, you will be subconsciously (下意识地) putting yourself in a better mood.
Keeping healthy is another way to achieve happiness. 5
A. What makes one person happy may be very different from what makes someone else happy.
B. On the contrary, if you are around people who are happy, their emotional state will be easily passed to you.
C. Being overweight or not eating foods containing nutrition has a negative effect on your mood.
D. These are important questions for anyone who is seeking happiness to ask themselves.
E. Spend a few minutes each day thinking about the things that make you happy.

G. It’s also important to take some time each day to do something nice for yourself.

Unplug Your Weekends or Ruin Your life

Give yourself an Internet break and keep yourself busy with other activities, and consider taking
up any of the following pastimes:
Reading

2

good choice for you.
Spend time with your family

cooking or anything really. The best part about learning something new is that you will meet new
people. 4
