Mothers and fathers can do a lot to ensure a safe landing in early adulthood for their kids. Even if a job’s starting salary seems too small to satisfy an emerging adult’s need for rapid content, the transition from school to work can be less of a setback if the start-up adult is ready for the move. Here are a few measures, drawn from my book Ready or Not, Here Life Comes, which parents can take to prevent what I call “work-life unreadiness.”
【小题1】_________You can start this process when they are 11 or 12. Regularly review their emerging strengths and weaknesses with them and work together on any shortcomings, like difficulty in communicating well or cooperating. Also, identify the kinds of interests they keep coming back to, as these offer clues to the careers that will fit them best.
【小题2】________Kids need a range of real role models. Have regular dinner-table discussions about people the family knows and how they got where they are. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of your own career and encourage your kids to form some ideas about their own future. When asked what they want to do, they should be discouraged from saying “I have no idea.” They can change their minds 200 times, but having only a foggy view of the future is of little good.
【小题3】_______Teachers are responsible for teaching kids how to learn; parents should be responsible for teaching them how to work. Assign responsibilities around the house and make sure homework deadlines are met. Encourage teenagers to take a part-time job. Kids need plenty of practice developing effective organizational skills, such as managing time and setting priorities(优先).
【小题4】_________Playing video games encourages immediate content（满足）. And hours of watching TV shows with canned laughter only teaches kids to process information in a passive way. At the same time, listening through earphones to the songs for a long time encourages kids to stay inside instead of participating in other outdoor activities. All these activities can prevent the growth of children’s communication and thinking skills and make it difficult for kids to develop the kind of sustained (持续的) concentration they will need for most jobs.
【小题5】_________They should know how to deal with setbacks, stresses and feelings of inadequacy. They should also learn how to solve problems and resolve conflicts, ways to brainstorm and think critically. Discussions at home can help kids practice doing these things and help them apply these skills to everyday life situations.
What about the son or daughter who is grown but seems to be struggling and wandering aimlessly through early adulthood? Parents still have a major role to play, but now it is more delicate. Most of all, these new adults must feel that they are respected and supported by a family that appreciates them. 查看习题详情和答案>>

Competitors have to do two things.The first is to stand still.The second is to place their hands anywhere
on the body of a car,and keep it there.
This is where things start getting difficult.Lots of people are doing the same thing.And the winner of
the "handathon" contest is the person who can carry on doing it for the longest time.That person gets to
own the car.
It still seems to be an easy thing to do.At the beginning it is.Anyone can stand still.But when the
contest has been going for four or five days,standing still seems like the most difficult job in the world.
And keeping the hand in place over this time becomes an act of serious attention.After a few days,the
hand seems to belong to someone else-someone who wants to go home and get some sleep.
Competitors are allowed to take a five-minute break every hour to eat,drink or do whatever else is
necessary.No one is allowed to lean on the car for support.Winners need to be able to show great
powers of attention.They also need to be able to develop special skills.
Maybe the popularity of the handathon is due to the fact that it is not necessary to be a trained athlete
to enter.Entrants in the Longview handathon certainly don't seem to do much preparation.Most say they
will prepare by "getting lots of sleep".Others say they will "eat healthy food" or "pray for success".The
whole event gives ordinary people the chance to do something interesting and win something in the end.
Handathons are competitions,but there is little rivalry (敌对) between competitors.They help each
other out and keep each other's spirits up.People who drop out early return with food,drink and
encouragement.
B. keep hands in place for long
C. wave hands as long as possible
D. do the same thing as in a marathon

B. The person who takes part in it has to place his hands anywhere on the body of a car,and keep it there.
