We want them to be confident and content.What can parents do to help their kids grow up tolead happy, productive lives? Experts advise:1. Helping them find their talents. In order to flourish, children need to feel they are good at something. But sometimes parents need to nudge their kids to help them find their niche (合适的位置). So expose your children to as many interests as possible, then let them choose those they like best.2. Applauding their accomplishments. A study found that students whose parents fussed over their abilities were far more likely to do well in school—and in life—than students whose parents didn't show such support. So celebrate your kids' achievements, no matter how small and find a place to prominently display their trophies, awards and artwork. These reminders of past achievements will give your child the self-assurance he needs to meet the next challenge.3. Giving them responsibilities. Responsibilities help youngsters grow into mature, competent and self-motivated adults. So assign your children household chores when they are young—even four-year-olds can pitch in by picking up their dirty clothes and helping to set the table.4. Letting them make decisions and mistakes. Making their own decisions increases a child's sense of control and boosts their self-esteem. And allowing kids to make wrong decisions—so long as doing so won't harm them—helps kids learn from their mistakes.5. Encouraging them to solve their own problems. As they grow, children need practice in communicating, standing up for themselves and compromising. One of the best places to learn these skills is at home. So the next time your child runs to you complaining that her brother is picking on her, step back and let them work it out. Of course,you'll need to enforce a few ground rules such asno swearing or hitting. But, for the most part, tryto stay out of it.6. Enjoying them. Do things with your kids, notjust for them. Tell them over and over howimportant they are to you and how much they pleaseyou. And laugh with them every day. All of thistells kids they are important, which helps them todevelop a positive, confident self-image that canlast a lifetime.91. Children are likely to do well in school iftheir parents ________________.A) have high expectations on themB) appreciate their achievementsC) put great pressure on themexpand their range of interestD)92. Parents can assign children housework________________.A) when they are teenagersB) so as to relieve themselvesC) so as to enhance children's sense of responsibilityso as to share the heavy houseworkD)93. Which of the following statements is true?A) Parents should stand up for children whenever they are needed.B) Parents should try to settle the dispute among children.C) Parents should stay out of any conflict among children.D) Parents should encourage children to communicate with each other.94. It's advised by experts that children should________________.A) try every means to please parentsB) be entitled to make family decisionsC) be encouraged to solve their own problemsD)learn to make good decisions at an early age95. In writing this passage, the writer means to________________.A) criticize some wrong ideas held by parentsB) comment on some popular ways of family educationC) present some good ways of handling troublesome childrenD) offer parents some good suggestions on children education Exceptional children are different in somesignificant way from others of the same age. Forthese children to develop to their full adultpotential, their education must be adapted tothose differences.Although we focus on the needs of exceptionalchildren, we find ourselves describing theirenvironment as well. While the leading actor on thestage captures our attention, we are aware of theimportance of the supporting players and thescenery of the play itself. Both the family and thesociety in which exceptional children live areoften the key to their growth and development. Andit is in the public schools that we find the fullexpression of society's understanding—theknowledge, hopes, and fears that are passed on to the next generation.Education in any society is a mirror of that society. In that mirror we can see the strengths, the weaknesses, the hopes, the prejudices, and the central values of the culture itself. The great interest in exceptional children shown in public education over the past three decades indicates the strong feeling in our society that all citizens, whatever their special conditions, deserve the opportunity to fully develop their capabilities."All men are created equal." We've heard it many times, but it still has important meaning for education in a democratic society. Although the phrase was used by this country's founders to denote equality before the law, it has also been interpreted to mean equality of opportunity. That concept implies educational opportunity for all children—the right of each child to receive help in learning to the limits of their capacity, whether that capacity is small or great. Recent court decisions have confirmed the right of all children—disabled or not—to an appropriate education, and have ordered that public schools take necessary steps to provide that education. In response, schools are modifying their programmes, adapting instruction to children who are exceptional, to those who cannot profit substantially from regular programmes.96. In Paragraph 2, the writer cites the example of the leading actor on the stage to show that ________________.A) the growth of exceptional children has much to do with their family and the societyB) the growth of exceptional children has little to do with their family and the societyC) exceptional children are the key interest of the family and societyD) exceptional children are more influenced by their families than normal children are97. What aspects of a society can be reflected byeducation?A) The national economic development.B) The international status of the society.C) The superstitious beliefs of the society.D)The central values of the society.98. The reason that the exceptional childrenreceive so much concern in education is that________________.A) they are expected to be leaders of the societyB) they might become a burden of the societyC) they should fully develop their potentialsD)their teachers like them very much99. From the last paragraph, we learn that theeducational concern for exceptional children________________.A) is now enjoying legal supportB) disagrees with the tradition of the countryC) was clearly stated by the country's foundersD)will exert great influence over court decisions 100. This passage mainly deals with________________.A) the differences of children in their learning capabilitiesB) the definition of exceptional children in modern societyC) the special educational programmes for exceptional childrenD) the necessity of adapting education to exceptional childrenDo you see the glass as half-full rather thanhalf-empty? Do you keep your eyes upon thedoughnut, not upon the hole? Suddenly theseclichés are scientific questions, as researchersscrutinize (仔细检查) the power of positivethinking. Research is proving that optimism canhelp you to be happier, healthier and moresuccessful. Pessimism leads, by contrast, tohopelessness, sickness and failure, and is linkedto depression, loneliness and painful shyness. Ifwe could teach people to think more positively, itwould be like inoculating (注射预防针) themagainst these mental ills.Your habits count, but the belief that you cansucceed affects whether or not you will. In part,that's because optimists and pessimists deal withthe same challenges and disappointments in verydifferent ways. When things go wrong the pessimisttends to blame himself. "I'm not good at this." "Ialways fail." He would say. But the optimist looksfor loopholes. Negative or positive, it is aself-fulfilling prophecy. If people feel hopelessthey don't bother to acquire the skills they needto succeed.A sense of control is the litmus test (试金石) forsuccess. The optimist feels in control of their ownlife. If things are going badly, they act quickly,looking for solutions, forming a new plan ofaction, and reaching out for advice. The pessimistfeels like fate's plaything and moves slowly. Theydon't seek advice, since they assume nothing canbe done. Many studies suggest that the pessimist'sfeeling of helplessness undermines the body'snatural defences, the immune system. Research hasfound that the pessimist doesn't take good care ofthemselves. Feeling passive and unable to dodgelife's blows, they expect ill health and othermisfortunes, no matter what they do. They munches(大力嚼) on junk food, avoid exercise, ignore thedoctor, have another drink.Most people are a mix of optimism and pessimism,but are inclined in one direction or the other. Itis a pattern of thinking learned at our mothers'knees. It grows out of thousands of cautions or encouragements, negative statements or positivesones. Too many "don'ts" and warnings of danger canmake a child feel incompetent, fearful, andpessimistic. Pessimism is a hard habit to break,but it can be done.101.
