It is widely acknowledged that it is by no means an easy task to bring up a child well.And our ancestors already understood it well.“It takes an entire village to raise a child.”That’s an old proverb that is being quoted more and more often these days.And I’m pleased about that.

Today,more and more schools are reaching out to involve parents, community members and businesses to help shape a child’s future.

Parents need to be involved in their children’s education in many ways.Helping children with homework and studying,going on a field trip,teaching a craft(手工艺)or coaching a child's sports team are all great ways to be involved with your child's education.And don’t forget to communicate with teachers — they need and respect your input.Studies show that children learn more and schools function better when parents and schools work together.It’s important to stay in touch with your child's education all through his or her school career.

Communities can help children create and achieve new goals.Help with homework, read to a child,coach a children's team,or provide emotional support.Help solve problems and build self-esteem(自尊).Kids need role models and advisers can be role models by sharing their experiences and wisdom.

Businesses can also help shape our children’s future.invite a class from your local school to visit your workplace.You may be providing a glimpse that opens a new world of possibilities.Show students what goes on during a typical day.Give a mini course for students:how to use a computer;how products are made;how machinery works.You may have a developing electrician,teacher,nurse,or even a newspaper reporter on your hands.

It really does take an entire village to raise a child.So share the responsibility— and the joy— of bringing a child to his or her full potential.

If you are a modern art lover, you should be sure to drop by the Saatchi Gallery during your visit to London.The original gallery was by Charles Saatchi, a British art collector for founding the Saatchi and Saatchi advertising agency with his brother.It moved from its old in St.John’s Wood to its new home in County Hall near the Thames in the spring of 2003.

Anyone who has heard in the past of the often shocking but always inspiring works on at the Saatchi Gallery will not be when visiting the gallery’s new location.Along with the of new British artists, the gallery still the works of Damien Hirst, the Chapman brothers, and Tracy Emin in its permanent .

Of the artworks, one can see in the Saatchi Gallery, Hirst’s works are probably the most .Hirst’s work first made headlines in the early 1990s when he art from dead animals.

Along with Hirst, the Chapman brothers, Dinos and Jake, also a certain amount of their fame to the Saatchi Gallery.It was through Saatchi these two brothers came to public attention.At the gallery, visitors can see the brothers’ vision of Hell, made from 30, 000 plastic toy soldiers.

Another artist featured at the gallery who has grabbed with her art is Tracy Emin.In 1998, Emin gave to argument when she sold her messy, unmade bed to Saatchi as a work of art My Bed at £150, 000.

Are any of these works really art? That is a question you will have to answer for when you visit the Saatchi Gallery.Charles Saatchi himself says, “I don’t have any ground rules for art.Sometimes you look and don’t feel very with it—but that doesn’t tell you very much.It doesn’t reveal much about the quality of the work.”

Does money buy happiness?Not!Ah, but would a little more money make us a little happier?Many of us smirk(傻笑,假笑) and nod.There is, we believe, some connection between financial fitness and emotional fulfillment.Three in four American college students—nearly double the 1970 proportion— now consider it “very important” or “essential” that they become “very well off financially”.Money matters.

But a surprising fact of life is that in countries where nearly everyone can afford life’s necessities, increasing wealth matters surprisingly little.The connection between income and happiness is “surprisingly weak,” observed University of Michigan researcher Ronald Inglehart in one 16-nation study of 170,000 people.Once comfortable, more money provides diminishing returns(报酬递减).The second piece of pie, or the second $100,000, never tastes as good as the first.Even lottery winners and the Forbes’ 100 wealthiest Americans surveyed by University of Illinois psychologist Ed Diener have expressed only slightly greater happiness than the average American.Making it big brings temporary joy.But in the long run wealth is like health: its complete absence can create suffering, but having it doesn’t guarantee happiness.Happiness seems less a matter of getting what we want than of wanting what we have.

Has our happiness, however, floated upward with the rising economic tide?Are we happier today than in 1940s, when two out of five homes lacked a shower or tub?Actually, we are not.Since 1957, the number of Americans who say they are “very happy” has declined from 35 to 32 percent.Meanwhile, the divorce rate has doubled, the teen suicide(自杀) rate has increased nearly three times, the violent crime rate has gone up nearly four times, and depression has mushroomed.Economic growth has provided no boost to human morale.When it comes to psychological well being, it is not the economy.

I call this soaring wealth and shrinking spirit “the American paradox.” More than ever, we have big houses and broken homes, high incomes and low confidence, secured rights and reduced civility.We are good at making a living but often fail at making a life.We celebrate our prosperity(繁荣) but long for a purpose.We treasure our freedoms but long for connection.In an age of plenty, we feel spiritual hunger.

After Mom died, I began visiting Dad every morning before I went to work. He was frail and moved slowly, but he always had a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice on the kitchen table for me, along with an unsigned note reading, "Drink your juice." Such a gesturere, I knew, was as far as Dad had ever been able to go in expressing his love. In fact, I remember, as a kid I had questioned Mom "Why doesn't Dad love me?" Mom frowned, "Who said he doesn't love you?" "Well, he never tells me," I complained. "He never tells me either," she said, smiling. "But look how hard he works to take care of us, to buy us food and clothes, and to pay for this house. That's how your father tells us he loves us."

I nodded slowly. I understood in my head, but not in my heart. I still wanted my father to put his arms around me and tell me he loved me. Dad owned and operated a small scrap (片) metal business, and after school I often hung around while he worked. Dad hand fed scrap steel into a device that chopped as cleanly as a butcher chops a rack of ribs. The machine looked like a giant pair of scissors. with blades thicker than my father's body. If he didn't feed those terrifying blades just right, he risked serious injury. "Why don't you hire someone to do that for you?" Mom asked Dad one night as she bent over him and rubbed his aching shoulders with a strong smelling liniment. "Why don't you hire a cook?" Dad asked, giving her one of his rare smiles.

Many years later, during my first daily visit, after drinking the juice my father had squeezed for me, I walked over, hugged him and said, "I love you, Dad." From then on I did this every morning. My father never told me how he felt about my hugs, and there was never any expression on his face when I gave them.
