Children model themselves largely on their parents.They do so mainly through identification.Children identify 36 a parent when they believe they have the qualities and feelings that are 37 of that parent.The things parents do and say---and the 38 they do and say to them--therefore strongly influence a child's 39 .However, parents must consistently behave like the type of 40 they want their child to become.
A parent's actions 41 affect the self-image that a child forms 42 identification.Children who see mainly positive qualities in their 43 will likely learn to see themselves in a positive way.Children who observe chiefly 44 qualities in their parents will have difficulty 45 positive qualities in themselves.Children may 46 their self-image, however, as they become increasingly 47 by peers groups standards before they reach 13.
Isolated(孤立的) events, 48 dramatic(突然的) ones, do not necessarily have a permanent 49 on a child's behavior.Children interact such events according to their established attitudes and previous training.Children who know they are loved can, 50 , accept the divorce of their parents' or a parent's early 51 .But if children feel unloved, they may interpret such events 52 a sign of rejection or punishment.
In the same way, all children are not influenced 53 by toys and games, reading matter, and television programs. 54 in the case of a dramatic change in family relations, the 55 of an activity or experience depends on how the child interprets it.

Television is an important part of modern life, one we can hardly imagine living without it. If I were forced to live without television, I would seek other interests, socialize(参加社交活动) with my friends and family and exercise more often.
Without TV in my home, I would have time to seek other interests. For example, I love to play the piano and without the fun of TV, I would have more time to practice. At other times, I could paint portraits of my family and friends.
Not only that, but also I could find much more time to socialize with my friends and family if my TV disappeared. At my house, the TV is always on during dinner. Without TV we might have time to tell each other about what happened to us that day. In addition, we could more easily find more time to talk with old friends on the telephone. Thus, social time would increase without TV.
Most importantly, lacking a TV would give me a big increase in the available time for exercise in my life. With extra time, I could make the long journey to Bowen Island and go on an enjoyable hike in the mountains. Another exercise would be to go swimming or to an aerobics(有氧运动) class at Bonsor Community Centre. Watching more TV will only develop my bottom muscle.
Seeking other interests, socializing with friends and family, and exercising frequently would be the benefits of having no TV at my home. Just think how much more time I would have if I got rid of my computer, too!

Have you ever noticed what happens to an idea once you express it? Just talking about it or writing it down causes you to make it clear in your own mind. How can you use this to increase your brain power? Start writing.
By putting thoughts into words, you are telling yourself the logic (逻辑) behind what you think, feel, or only partly understand. Often, explaining a thought is the process of understanding. In other words, you increase your brain power by exercising your “explain power.”
Try this experiment. Explain how you’ll increase your brain power, even if you have no idea how right now. Just start with anything, and create an explanation. For example, start with “I’ll learn chess,” or “I’ll read an article on the mind every week.” Explain how that will help. You’ll be surprised how often this becomes a workable plan, and if you actually do this, you’ll have a better understanding of your brain twenty minutes from now.
Another benefit of writing is that it helps you remember. Many, if not most, highly productive people are always taking notes. You can try keeping it all in your head, but if you keep a journal of your ideas the next time you’re working on a big project, you’ll probably have more success.
Want to understand a topic? Write a book about it. That’s an extreme example, but if you are learning something new, write a letter to a friend about it, and you will understand it better. Want to invent something? Write an explanation of the problem, why you want to solve it, and why it is worth solving, and you’re half-way there.
Writers don’t always write because they clearly understand something beforehand. Often, they write about something because they want to understand it. You can do the same. Writing will help bring you to an understanding. Give it a try.

We use the Internet for many things: business, shopping, writing letters, talking to people, finding information and so on. In recent years, a new kind of English has grown on the Internet. There’s no real word for it yet, so we’ll call it e-talk. People don’t like typing too much. To save time, they turn phrases into a few letters (called acronyms). Acronyms are often used in chat rooms(聊天室). Some of them are:
BTW(by the way); BRB(be right back); LOL(laughing out loud); IMO(in my opinion)
People also use many abbreviations. They are shortened forms of words. Some common abbreviations are:
info(information); puter(computer); pic(picture); sec(second)
We ususally don’t see people when we communicate on the Internet, so people have new ways to show feelings. Most people use their keyboards to draw “feelings”, such as:
:-) (happy); ;-)(joking); :-((sad); :-O(surprised)
These days, many forums(论坛)have picture feelings. For example:
(happy) (sad) (angry) (cool)
There are even whole new words, like ”newbie’s” (someone who is new on a chat board or forum). When you write something bad about someone else, it’s called “flaming” the person.
It takes time for people to get used to e-talk. Also, different groups on the Net have their own special ways of communicating. Newbie’s sometimes have to ask other people what they mean. As the Internet grows, e-talk will continue to grow and change.
Why do people type acronyms?
A. To show their feelings. B. To make jokes.
C. To save time. D. In this way newbie’s won’t understand them.
What does “BTW, my computer is not working well, :-( ”mean?
A.The person is happy about getting a new computer.
B. The person has to go away from his/her computer.
C. The person is angry at somebody.
D. The person is sad that his computer is having problems.
If someone is angry, what may he type?
A. B. BRB C. LOL D.
E-talk will probably_______.
A. keep changing B. stay the same
C. be used by people on the telephone D. be easy for newbie’s to understand.
Health food is a general term applied to all kinds of food that is considered more healthy than the types of food sold in supermarkets.For example,whole grains,dried beans,and corn oil are health foods.A narrower classification of health food is natural food.This term is used to distinguish between types of the same food.Raw honey is a natural sweetener,while refined(提炼的)sugar is not.The most exact term of all and the narrowest classification within health food is organic food,used to describe food that has been grown on a particular kind of farm.Fruits and vegetables that are grown in gardens,that are treated only with organic fertilizers,that are not sprayed with poisonous insecticides(杀虫剂),and that are not refined after harvest,are organic food.
In choosing the type of food you eat,then you have basically two choices:inorganic,processed(加工)food or organic,unprocessed food.A wise decision should include study of the reason why processed food contains chemicals,some of which are proved to be poisonous and that vitamin content is greatly reduced in processed food.
Bread is typically used by health food supporters as an example of a processed food. First, the seeds from which the grain is grown are treated with a chemical which is extremely harmful. Later, the grain is sprayed with a number of very deadly insecticides. After the grain has been made into flour, it is made white with another chemical which is also poisonous. Next, a dough conditioner is added along with a softener. The conditioner and softener are poisons,and in fact, the softener has sickened and killed experimental animals.
A very poisonous antifungal compound is added to keep the bread from getting moldy(发霉的).
Other food from the supermarket would show a similar pattern of processing and preserving. You see, we buy our food on the basis of smell, color, and texture, instead of vitamin content, and manufacturers give us what we want, even if it is poisonous. The alternative? Eat health foods,preferably the organic variety.
