How to talk to your child about a future career

Thinking about a future career can bring a lot of stress. 1. This cuts up the question into workable issues that you and your child can enjoy dealing with throughout their childhood years. Here’s how:

●In your child’s life, there are times when they are given the opportunity to see and/or discuss a certain career. Schools have Career Day, an aunt or uncle talks about what they do for a living or your child’s youth group goes on a trip to a hospital and talks to the staff there. 2.

●When your child shows interest in a certain career, you should do some research. Then, you can offer your child some information on that job and related jobs. 3. It is a wonderful free online resource.

●Help your child weigh the pros and cons for his or her different career interests. Encourage your child to narrow(缩小) the choices down to five at the most.

●4. This is a good time to begin ordering in college and technical school lists. Use the lists and any other information you have found as an ice breaker for more conversations with your child.

●5. Make this a clear message. Teach your child that part of being independent is knowing when and who to lead on, trust and respect.

A. Do you feel you have open communication with your child?

B. The Occupational Outlook Handbook gives you what schooling is needed.

C. The final decision lies with your child, but you do have the right to have input.

D. Choosing the right career is one of the most important decisions your child will make in life.

E. Figure out the path your child would have to take to obtain the schooling for his career choices.

F. Each of these times is an opportunity for you to ask your child what he thought of those jobs or that field of work.

G. Parents need to learn to help their child conquer this great question by dropping seeds of conversation as time goes by and watch them grow into ideas.

What's the most important thing in life?

People's answers vary greatly. For British scientist Robert Edwards, the answer is having a child. "Nothing is more special than a child," he told the BBC.

Edwards, the inventor of the In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) technology—more commonly known as "test-tube (试管) baby" technology—passed away on April 10, 2013 at the age of 87.

"Edwards changed the lives of millions of ordinary people who now rejoice (高兴) in the gift of their own child," said Peter Braude, a professor at King's College London. "He leaves the world a much better place."

Edwards started his experiments as early as the 1950s, when he had just finished his PhD in genetics. At that time, much of the public viewed test-tube babies as "scary", according to Mark Sauer, a professor at Columbia University, US.

Edwards and his colleague Patrick Steptoe faced opposition from churches, governments and media, not to mention attacks from many of their fellow scientists. "People said that we should not play God and we should not interfere with nature," Edwards once told Times. He said that he felt "quite alone" at the time.

"But Edwards was a fighter, and he believed in what he was doing," said Sauer. Without support from the government, the two struggled to raise funds to carry on. And in 1968 they finally developed a method to successfully fertilize human eggs outside the body.

The first test-tube baby was born on July 25, 1978. Her name was Is Louise Brown. Despite people's safety concerns, Brown was just as healthy as other children.

"IVF had moved from vision to reality and a new era in medicine had begun," BBC commented.

Ever since then, public opinion has evolved considerably. Couples who were unable to have babies began thronging (拥向) to Edwards' clinic. Nowadays, Reuters reports, some 4.3 million other "test-tube" children exist. Edwards received a Nobel Prize in 2010 and was knighted (封为爵士) by Queen Elizabeth in the following year.

Before his death, Edwards was still in touch with Louise. "He is like a granddad to me," she said in an interview with the Daily Mail.

He is a granddad to millions, in fact.

Children grow quickly, especially their feet, but many families cannot buy new shoes each time a child needs them. As a result, about 300 million children around the world go barefoot. Those children risk picking up diseases and parasites from the soil.

An American man may have a solution for those barefoot kids — a shoe that grows with the child. Kenton Lee is the creator of The Shoe That Grows. He explains how the shoe works and how it is able to last so long.

“It grows in three places: the front; it can also grow on the side with Velcro; and on the back with our buckle. It can last up to five years. The bottom is compressed rubber like tire rubber. The top is just high-quality leather.” The shoe comes in two sizes: small that fits children aged 4 to 9 and large for children aged 9 to 14.

Lee says he got the idea for the shoe while working as a volunteer in an orphanage in Kenya. “… and there was a little girl in a white dress walking next to me. And I just remember looking down and seeing how small her shoes were. They were just way too small for her feet. They were so small that she had to cut open the front of her shoes to let her toes stick out. And I just remember thinking, wouldn't it be nice if there were a pair of shoes that could grow with her feet?”

However, Lee says it was not easy to turn his idea into a reality. “I kept writing down I should do this because of this or because of that. All these reasons why it really was important for me to try to make the shoes that could grow and try to help.” Finally, in 2009 Lee founded a non-profit organization called Because International. In the office of Because International, Lee keeps a pair of his own shoes to help him remember his promise. “I told myself I would not get new shoes until the idea was done. So, those are the shoes that I wore for a little over five years.”

1.Which of the following is the characteristic of the newly invented shoes?

A. They are more expensive.

B. They are not so comfortable.

C. They can grow with a child.

D. They come in different sizes.

2.Who is this kind of newly invented shoes intended for?

A. All the teenagers.

B. Children aged 4 to 14.

C. Middle-aged women in Africa.

D. Senior citizens with low income.

3.What does Para. 4 mainly talk about?

A. How the shoes work.

B. How Lee got his inspiration.

C. How to make the new shoes.

D. Where to order this kind of shoes.

4.Why does Kenton Lee keep a pair of his own shoes in the office?

A. To remind him of his promise.

B. To copy the design of them.

C. To get a change conveniently.

D. To use them as an example.

“We are good mothers,” I said to my friend, as we sat on our comfortable beach chairs under our beach umbrella and watched our children playing in the waves.

Out of nowhere, the children took off running. About fifty yards from us, a man—maybe in his fifties—was fishing. The children stood next to him and watched with their little mouths hanging open as he cast the fishing lines. He smiled at them. They ran back to us—all except my three-year-old daughter, Drew.

My heart beat fast with horror. “Drew! Come here! Play with your friends!” I shouted, very aware that my speeches about not talking to strangers weren’t working. It seemed that many parents heard of horrible stories about children being taken away by strangers. Responsible mothers should teach their children that the world is a dangerous place. So I felt relieved when Drew ran towards me and took hold of a shovel (铲子). Then she looked me in the eye: “I want to be with the person.”

Again, she approached the middle-aged man, and started digging next to him.

Several seconds later, she returned, waving something shiny.

“Look, Mommy! A toy fish!”

It was, indeed, a toy fish—yellow and rubber. This must have been what he was using to attract the fish. And he’d given it to Drew. The three other children were deeply impressed, and they didn’t try to hide how jealous(妒忌的)they were—clearly, they all wanted the fish.

“My friend gave me that fish!” Drew shouted loudly. The sand in front of the umbrella turned into a preschool cage match with a yellow rubber fish flying through the air. I felt like I might cry myself.

Unexpectedly, there he was: the man, standing right next to us with three more rubber fish in hand. He handed them to each of the children. By their faces, you would have thought he was actually the really kind big brother.

“Thank you,” I said, realizing that there is good and kindness in strangers.

1. How did the author feel when Drew stood beside the man?

A. relieved B. angry C. concerned D. calm

2. What does the author think good mothers should do?

A. be around their kids

B. warn their kids of danger

C. teach their kids to behave well

D. devote themselves to helping their kids

3. When was the author at a loss(迷茫)?

A. Drew handed her the toy fish

B. The kids fought for the toy fish

C. The toy fish was covered with sand

D. The stranger appeared from nowhere

4. What would be the best title for the text?

A. Give a kid a fish

B. We are good mothers

C. The world is dangerous

D. Teach kids to be kind

You want to be happy, who doesn’t? However, whether you procrastinate(拖延), feed negative self-talk, or don’t rest your mind, you lower your potential to create happiness.

Procrastination

You aren’t in deadly danger if you procrastinate, but your system doesn’t always take this information on board. You still react as though you are anxious and produce stress chemicals.

1. Your ability to see the big picture of life is reduced when you procrastinate. Therefore, you don’t see as much joy.

Negative self-talk

2. Taking notice of what goes on in your head and putting positive change in action makes negative self-talk useful. Nevertheless, most people don’t recognize negative self-talk as a pointer; they feed it until it grows out of control.

Your mind contains an incredible amount of information and is more powerful than any computer many times over. However, if you give it too many tasks, you shut out peace of mind.

4. Thought-overload results in physical symptoms, like a racing heart and shortness of breath. Additionally, you might have sleeplessness, digestive problems and other symptoms of stress that reduce your happiness.

If you want to increase the odds of being happy, don’t procrastinate. 5. Similarly, don’t overload your mind, give it a rest and you will soon notice you are happier.

A. Not resting your mind.

B. Using your brain regularly.

C. It is a human weakness to put things off.

D. At the same time, don’t feed negative self-talk.

E. Self-talk can tell you how healthy you are emotionally.

F. Additionally, as your system is nervous physically, your mind also closes off a little.

G. Thinking about many things at once leads to a feeling of anxiety.
