Writer and teacher Yin Jianli's stories and thoughts about bringing up her daughter

Yuanyuan have been a constant source of inspiration for parents over the past 16 years.

Her book,  A Good Mother Exceeds Good  Teachers,  published  by  Writers Publishing House, has been a bestseller on Dangdang and Amazon's online platforms

for the past three years.  The book helped Yin make the Chinese Writers' Rich List, with 4. 48 million yuan($710,000).

Experts say Yin's book provides practical guidance, which makes it popular among parents.

"When the majority of books are either full of bragging about(自吹自擂)the authors' children or outlining big theories that have no foundation in practice, I write books that are practical and easy to follow," Yin writes.

"For example, there was an occasion when Yuanyuan forgot to do her elementary school homework.  In such a situation many Chinese parents show their anger and scold their kids,”says Yin, who made an agreement with her husband they would not overly criticize or push their daughter.  Instead, Yin encouraged the daughter to make up the homework, which meant staying up until midnight.  As a result,  she learned to arrange her time better and did not have a harmful reaction to doing homework.  Yin's principle of "no parental interference(干涉),and "giving children the opportunity to learn from their mistakes" is described in a number of real-life examples.

Readers say Yin's books improve their children's performance at school,  and encourage them to develop good personalities and habits.  They believe her books are not only about being good parents but also about growing as parents and individuals.

"When I'm reading books,I keep thinking about what a better personality I would have if my parents had adopted the methods Yin suggests when I was a kid,"one reader comments in a review on Yin's online blog.

My boss’s daughter was studying in the Philippines. He asked me if my husband and I could take care of her. He thought his daughter would be able to improve her English communication skills in this way.

After days of thinking, we agreed. He then brought her here and left after 3 days. I thought that my boss’s daughter was well-mannered, but that was wrong.

After a month of staying in the Philippines, she started to show her true colors. When my husband asked her what she wanted for breakfast, she answered him in a rude way. From then on, we experienced fights at home. There was a time when we didn’t talk to her for a week as a punishment of not being good to us. What I hated most was that she didn’t care about other people’s feelings. She ate ahead of us when we were still working and didn’t leave anything for us. So we had to separate her food from ours to avoid such a problem.

The worst thing about her was that she shouted at us. I was wondering if she did this to her parents. We told this to her parents, but unfortunately I didn’t think that solved the problem. This situation lasted for almost 8 months. Our patience was tested during that time.

We tried to teach her everything we could to make her a better person, but I guess 8 months may not to be enough. We even tried to understand her and adjust for her, but it didn’t work. I just hope that she learned something from us and from other Filipinos.

Researchers found that compared with teens who spent much of their free time in front of TV sets, those who were physically active often had higher self-respect, better grades and were less likely to have risky behavior like taking drugs, smoking, or drinking.The findings, based on a national survey of nearly 12,000 middle and high school students, were published in a journal.

       "Across the board, children who engaged in any kind of activity were belier off than kids who watched a lot of TV," said study co author professor Penny Gordon Larsen of the University of North Carolina.

       Other studies have linked certain content of television programs, such as violence and sex, to children's behavior.But beyond this issue, Gordon-Larsen said that kids who spend hours watching TV "miss opportunities" to develop skills, learn teamwork and have other experiences that their more active peers benefit from.

       That doesn't mean, however, that kids have to be on the football team. The study found that some activities like skating and skateboarding——which adults sometimes frown upon——were also related to better self respect and less risk taking.

       That skaters were better behaved than TV watchers might come as a surprise to some adults who consider these teens to be bad, according to Gordon-Larsen.Skateboarding is forbidden in many public areas, and some communities oppose building skating parks.But if kids who like to skate have nowhere to do it, "it's a shame," said Gordon-Larsen.

       Not only should parents encourage their kids to engage iii the physical activities they enjoy, she said, but schools and communities should also do more to create opportunities for children to be active.

       A.physically active kids get into less trouble

       B.more skating parks are being built

       C.kids who spend hours watching TV benefit a lot

2.If your kid is a football player, he is more likely to ____

       A.get into the habit of smoking or drinking

       B.develop teamwork spirit

       C.have risky behaviors

       D.fail in the schoolwork

3.This passage is mainly written to ___      .

       A.offer some information to teachers and parents

       B.persuade kids not to watch a lot of TV

       C.urge the public to help children be active

       D.show the author's concern about children's growth

4.What does the underlined sentence "which adults sometimes frown upon" in the 4th paragraph mean?

       A.Some adults don't understand the sports.

       B.Some adults are impatient with kids.

       C.Adults consider it dangerous to go skating or skateboarding.

Years ago, when I started looking for my first job, wise advisers advised,  “Barbara, be enthusiastic(热情的)! Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience.” How right they were!

“Nothing great was ever done without enthusiasm,” wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. It is the paste(浆糊) that helps you hang in there when the things get tough. It is the inner voice that tells you, “I can do it!” when others shout, “No, you can’t!” It took years and years for the early work of Barbara McClintock, a geneticist who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine, to be generally accepted. Yet she didn’t stop working on her experiments.

We are all born with wide-eyed, enthusiastic wonder and it is the childlike wonder that gives enthusiastic people such youthful air, whatever their age. At 90, cellist Pablo Casals would start his day by playing the cello(大提琴). As the music flowed through his fingers, his shoulders would straighten and joy would reappear in his eyes. As writer and poet Samuel Ullman once worte, “Years wrinkle(起皱纹) the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.”

Enthusiastic people also love what they do, not considering money or title or power. Patricia Mellratl, a retired director of the Missouri Rpertory Theater in Kansas City, was once asked where she got her enthusiasm. She replied, “My father, long ago, told me, ‘I never made any money until I stopped working for it.’”

We can’t afford to waste tears on “might-have-been”. We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after “what-can-be”. We need to live each moment whole-heartedly, with all our senses finding pleasure in the sweet of a backyard garden, the simple picture of a six-year-old, and the beauty of a rainbow.

What is the passage mainly talking about?

Enthusiasm is more important than experience.

Enthusiasm can give people more success and fame

Enthusiastic people will never get old

Enthusiasm can make you succeed and enjoy life.

We can infer that enthusiasm is more important for a person especially when __________.

A. he is in trouble          B. he is getting old

C. he can do what he love   D. he has succeeded

73. The author mentions Pablo Casals in the third paragraph to show that ______.

   A. enthusiasm can make people feel young

   B. music can arouse people’s enthusiasm

   C. enthusiasm can give people inspiration needed to succeed

   D. enthusiasm can keep people healthy

74. How many examples are referred in the passage to show the importance of enthusiasm?

   A. Three      B. Four      C. Five      D. Six

75. Which proverb(谚语) may the writer agree with according to the last paragraph?

   A. A good beginning makes a good ending

   B. Don’t cry over the spoiled milk

   C. Love me, love my dog

   D. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy
