【题目】 Learning matters in living a full and rich life. You can take your passing interest in art and explore it more deeply. You can also improve your career prospects by learning new skills. 1

1. They expand their library of books regularly.

As businessman Jim Rohn remarked, “Some people read so little they have rickets of the mind.” People with non-stop learning are often found browsing for books on Amazon. 2 Lifelong learners also ask friends and family for book suggestions, especially for non-fiction titles.

2. 3

Deep engagement with learning makes the experience more valuable and easier to remember. Fortunately, this tip is easy to use. Simply take a few minutes during a class break to write down some questions about the material. If you are taking a business course, you can always ask questions about how to apply the material to your career goals.

If you are uncomfortable asking questions in front of other people, there are other options. 4

3. They learn to earn.

5 Lifelong learners view their education as an investment with several components. For example, project management professionals are required to pursue ongoing education in three areas: leadership, technical knowledge and management.

If you are seeking to increase your income, consider learning sales and marketing skills. Those skills make a great difference even if you are not in a traditional sales job.

A.They learn from experiences that help them grow.

B.To discover the benefits of lifelong learning, read on.

C.They take the time to ask questions when they take courses.

D.Continuing education is vital to maintain your career growth.

E.Moreover, they like visiting their local library or book stores.

F.However, reading can not only broaden our vision but also cultivate our taste.

G.You can send questions by email or ask for an appointment to discuss the matter in depth.

【题目】Five tips for emotional training

Training your children on their emotions(情绪) is the work of those adults who want to nurture(培养) emotional health. I can also say that the best emotional trainings do certain things, which I list as my 'Top Five' pointers, and here they are:

Connect

Be able to see the situation from your children’s perspective(视角). 1. They'll feel you're on their side and you want to understand. Speaking angrily is a sign of disconnection.

2

The calmer we can stay, the better chance our children have of learning how to calm themselves. Of course, there are moments when being calm feels out of the question, which is why learning how to stay calm and centered during an emotional storm is a good practice.

Listen fully

Being able to honestly hear what a child is saying can be important. 3. You are there for them. Even saying 'I'm here for you' can help greatly.

4

Children make mistakes when emotionally triggered(被触发)-like we all do, especially early on in our development. But the best emotional trainings focus on solving the 'emotional problem' rather than just punishment for a not-so-smart choice.

Learn together

5. We may be learning patience and forgiveness, while our children may be learning how to skillfully handle their big emotions like anger or sadness.

Children are impressionable. I remember being a young child and having a 'flashbulb moment(闪光瞬间) ' when someone said something that changed my mind. I remember everything about that moment for better or worse. So, our aim is to give our children positive flashbulb moments.

A. Be a calming presence

B. Make effective punishment

C. Focus on problem-solving not punishment

D. You can pretend to agree whatever they say

E. This doesn't mean you totally agree, but you hear them

F. We’re always learning alongside our children

G. Putting yourself in their shoes helps build a stronger connection

【题目】 It truly doesn't take much to encourage others and, best of all, it is very affordable and requires no special equipment. Here are some simple ways to encourage others.

Take an interest.

I believe this is one of the most practical ways of encouraging others.

Show that you're interested in what they're doing. 1People like to talk about themselves and once you get them talking, you fire up their enthusiasm.

Acknowledge a job well done.

Great achievements take time and effort. You can encourage others by acknowledging their efforts. A simple “well done" or “thank you" can be influential. 2

Lend a hand.

3 In fact, you can be the first one to lend a hand. If a person sees you are willing to spend your time and energy on their interests, they will be more encouraged to see it through and less likely to give up.

4

Thank someone when he/she does something for you. Thank your partner after he/ she cooks a nice meal. Thank a friend for lending you a book. A simple “thank you" lets others know what they have done is meaningful to you.

Give a call to your friend.

As you know, we're all busy, and in the age of emails and texts, phone calls seem ancient to many people.

5 Even if they miss the call they'll appreciate the effort and your message. Make an effort to do this just once a week for one person and see how your connections respond to the encouragement.

A.Get them talking.

B.Show your appreciation.

C.Do something unexpected.

D.But people love hearing from friends.

E.You don't have to wait for someone to ask you for advice.

F.Haven't you felt important when someone asked for your advice?

G.These words can make a difference between going on and giving up.
