We should show respect to everybody, especially our elders because they are ahead of us — in age, in wisdom and maturity, in experience and education. Our
1
have done a lot for us, directly or indirectly and most of us
2
everything to their kindness and love.
When we
3
them respect, whether it is by bowing to them, or
4
them with a smile, or offering them any help they need, it is one way of
5
our own love and gratitude to them.
6
, elders have also been through all the years you are
7
and know a little more about the world than you do.
It is
8
that you do not agree with the belief of your elders, but this is nothing new. All younger generations have always
9
with their elders and it is these differences that bring changes in human
10
. However much you disagree with them, give them credit for their
11
.
With changing times and
12
influences, youngsters no longer know what is interpreted as disrespect to elders. Youngsters should
13
express their views and if there are arguments, they should not
14
their voices.
If there is no space on sofas or chairs, children will immediately
15
their places, and sit on the carpet. In buses and trains, youngsters are
16
to give up their places to older people. This is not a
17
of who has more rights. It is simply that those who are younger have the strength to bear
18
, or tolerate unpleasantness, so it is natural to show consideration to those who are older and perhaps at a
19
disadvantage.
When you do simple things as a mark of respect, elders become
20
that youngsters care for them, and they respond with affection and kindness.

For years we have been told that encouraging a child’s self-respect is important to his or her success in life.
1
child experts are now learning that
2
praise can lead to the opposite effect. Praise-aholic(受表扬上瘾的) kids who
3
it at every turn may become teens who try to get the same kind of
4
from friends when asked if they want to go in the backseat of the car. ks5*u
The meaning of saying “You are the
5
girl in class,” or talking about the goals she scored but not her general
6
, is that you love her
7
when she looks the best, scores the highest, achieves the most. And this
8
over to the classroom.
Social psychologist Carrol Dweck, PhD, tested the effects of overpraise on 400 fifth graders
9
she was at Columbia University. She found that the kids who were
10
for “trying hard” did better on tests and were more likely to take on difficult tasks than
11
praised for being “smart”.
“Praising qualities or abilities leads to a false
12
that success will come to you because you
13
that quality, and it devalues(贬值) effort.
14
, children are afraid to take on challenges, ” says Dweck, now at Stanford University, “They think they’d better
15
while they’re ahead.”

Miss Green was watching TV. Suddenly the program stopped. “Now we broadcast an important notice from the
1
: At about nine this evening, an old woman of 79, named Mrs. Humney, was
2
and killed by a robber wearing a green coat. Those who can supply any clue(线索) are requested to
3
to the police.” The
4
news made the lonely girl filled with

that a man was already behind the door.
Suddenly the man

before Miss Green. The girl didn’t know what to
8
. “Just put your necklace on the table, then I’11
9
whether I shall be safe to stay here for the night.” said the robber. That made her even more terrified, but she tried to
10
herself.
Just then there came the whistle of a police car. Then
11
the door bell. The man said with a pistol(手枪)
12
the girl’s back, “Don’t

the door. Never let him in.” But the girl got a(n)
14

15
unusual here?” “No , there isn’t.” Immediately she added
16
, “Only
17
and I are here.” “Good night.” Bull replied in the same loud voice.
A few minutes later, the sound of the
18
died away. “It’s well done,” the robber laughed. Almost at the same time the glass was
19
into pieces. The policemen
20
into the room and caught the robber.
“Miss Green, what you said made us take action right away,” said Bull, “for we know that you have no brother.”

A daughter thought life was unpromising to her and complained to her father about it. She did not know how she was going to
1
and wanted to give up. She was
2
of fighting and struggling. It seemed as if one problem was just solved before a new one
3
.
Her father, a cook, took her to the
4
. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high
5
. Soon the pots came to a
6
. In one he placed carrots, in the second he placed eggs, and the last he placed ground coffee beans. He let them sit and boil, without saying a word.
The daughter sucked her teeth and
7
waited, asking repeatedly what he was doing. In about twenty minutes he turned off the
8
.
He fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. He pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then he spooned the coffee out and placed it in another. Turning to her he asked, “Darling, what do you see?”
“Carrots, eggs, and coffee,” she replied.
He brought her closer and asked her to
9
the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the
10
, she observed the hard-boiled egg! Finally, he asked her to taste the coffee. She smiled
11
she tasted its rich flavor. She humbly asked, “What does it mean, Father?”
He explained that each of them had faced the same
12
, boiling water, but each
13
differently. The carrot went in
14
and hard. But after being subjected to the boiling water, it
15
and became weak. The egg had been
16
. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior. But after sitting
17
the boiling water, its inside became hardened. The ground coffee beans were unique,
18
. After they were in the boiling water, they had
19
the water.
“Which are you?” he asked his daughter. “When adversity knocks on your door,
20
do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean?”

I ran into(偶然撞到) a stranger as he passed by. “I’m so sorry !”was my reply. Then he said, “Excuse me too. I wasn’t even
1
you.” we were very polite, this stranger and I.
2
at home, we treat our loved ones differently. While I was cooking, my daughter came up to me quietly. When I turned, I nearly knocked(撞) her
3
. “Get out of the way!”I barked(咆哮). She ran away with her little heart broken. I didn’t realize how
4
I’d spoken.
That night,as I lay awake in bed,God’s quiet voice spoke to me, “While
5
with a stranger,you’re calm and polite, but with those you love, it’s easy for you to
6
. Go and look around on the kitchen floor. You’11 find some flowers there by the door. Those are the flowers she brought for you. She picked them herself. She stood there
7
, and you never saw the tears in her eyes.”
By this time,I felt sad and my own tears had begun to
8
. I quietly went and knelt by her bed, “wake up, my dear,” I said,“ are these the flowers you picked for me?” I asked. She
9
,“ I found them out by the tree. I knew you’d like them.”I said, “I’m so sorry that I missed them today. And I shouldn’t have shouted at you that way.”She whispered,“ Mommy, that’s okay...I still love you
10
.”I hugged (拥抱)her.
Are you aware that: if you die tomorrow, the company that you are working for could easily replace you in a matter of days. But the family will feel the
11
for the rest of their lives. We pour(倾注) ourselves more into our work
12
into our families—an unbalanced investment (投资)indeed.

Mr. West intended to buy his wife a Christmas present, but he was always very busy, so he was never

Christmas, and the shops were very crowded, he
3
that he could not wait any longer. He worked in an office, and
4
had lunch in a restaurant, but one day he bought some sandwiches, ate them quickly and went out to a big shop near his office during his lunch
5
.The shop was full of women, who were also buying presents during their lunch hour.
Mr. West stood politely at the edge(边)of a crowd of women who were
6
forward to try to get to the people who were
7
necklaces and earrings. He tried to move forward slowly, taking his turn with the others, but more and more women were
8
into the shop the whole time and pushing selfishly past him.
After half an hour, he was just as far from the people who were selling the necklaces as he had been
9
he came in, and his lunch hour was coming to an end, so he decided to change his

a sudden loud shout and started to push his way towards the
12
of the crowd as hard as he could.
The women around him became very
13
when they saw what he was doing, and began to scold him.” Why can’t you behave like a gentleman?” they shouted.
“Ladies,” he

them,” I have been behaving like a gentleman for the past half hour, and it has done me no

It's Girls Night Out:Mom Edition, and I'm a player in a whole new game. It occurs to me that I really don't know these
1
women. We've been circling
2
for about three years, ever since our kids started
3
.We'd bump into each other in the parking
4
,at Valentine's Day parties, and later as one or the other shyly
5
we all sign our kids up for softball, gymnastics or dance. Who knows
6
the five of us clumped together more than
7
of us clumped with other mothers. I suppose it happens
8
,friendship circles spiraling in and around and about and anew.?
This is the
9
time we've gathered without the kids, and I am having a
10
time saying “Janice”, as opposed to “Zoe's mom” or “Susan”,
11
“Kaitlin's mom”, and so I have decided, for tonight, not to
12
any names at all.?
The
13
has already taken our drink order. I can't believe nobody
14
beer.Nope, this is a Diet Coke and iced tea crowd. In the back of my mind I'm
15
if I'm going to be the naughty
16
who corrupts this group.?
There is so much
17
to take care of when you are just getting to
18
people as people. One of the things we are doing is
19
dates, the years that each of us
20
from this or that. I see where this is going.?

It is so easy for us to overspend our income. Credit cards are
1
to obtain, especially when you pay your bills on time. Companies will try to make you keep
2
until you can’t keep up and then they will make your life very
3
.
You can avoid major
4
in several ways. Have a plan. Set up a budget (预算) with measurable goals and stick to it, which will save you a lot of frustration (沮丧) later. Set up a saving account that you can use only in case of
5
. Set up another account for your
6
. Do it as early as you can and don’t touch it until you retire. Decide which bills are to be paid out of each check and pay those first.
If there is anything left, you can buy groceries, go out to
7
or go to the movies. Consider setting up an account that automatically pays your bills each month so that you don’t have to do it every month. You could have a household account. Have your check deposited in the household account and don’t
8
money out of the household account if the balance falls below the account that you set
9
. In my opinion, it’s wise for you to have health
10
, which can really save you money. As we know, a broken leg can save you $20,000 or more!
