“But what if I break my arm again？”My five-year-old daughter asked,looking very 1 .I knew she 2 very much to learn to ride,but ever since she’d fallen off her bike and broken her arm,she’d been afraid.
“Oh,honey,”I said.“I don’t think you’ll break another arm.”“ 3 I could,couldn’t I？”“You know,honey,”I said,“ 4 everything you do comes with risks.You could get a broken arm in a car 5 and then be afraid to 6 ride in a car again.You could break your arm jumping a rope.You could break your arm at gym.Do you want to 7 going to gym？”“No,”she said.And with a determined spirit,she stood up and 8 to try again.
I spent the rest of the afternoon at the park watching a very 9 little girl overcome a fear,and 10 myself on being a useful single parent after a painful divorce(离婚)．
As we walked home,she asked me about a conversation she’d overheard me having with my 11 the night before.
“Grandma wanted you to find someone to 12 .”“What grandma wants is for someone to 13 my heart again.”“But Mom...”“You’re too young to 14 it,”I told her.“So I guess love isn’t like a broken arm.”she said. 15 to answer,we walked the rest of the way in 16 .When I got home,I called my mother and 17 her for talking about this to my daughter.Then I did what I’d seen my brave little girl do that very afternoon.I agreed to 18 Steve.
Steve was the man for me.We 19 less than a year later.It turned out my mother and daughter were 20 .

查看习题详情和答案>>EAT YOUR VEGETABLES. Wash your hands. Always say "please" and "thank you ".We are full of advice for our children, but when it comes to money, we often have little to say. As a result, our children may grow up with clean hands and good manners, but without any idea how to manage their money.Here are some basics that will help guide them their entire lives：
Show them the future. If your 13-year-old girl were to save $1.000,invest(投资)it at 8% and add $100 every month, by the time she's 65,she would have $980,983!zxxk
Be careful of credit(信用).Credit cards can help you buy necessary things and build a credit history, but they must be used responsibly, which means paying off your debt in time. Explain to your children that when you buy something using a credit card, you can easily end up paying two or three times what you would have paid if you used cash.
Teach patience. Suppose your child wants a new bicycle that costs $150.Rather than paying the cash, give him some regular pocket money and explain that by putting aside,say,$15 each week, he will be able to buy it for himself in only ten weeks.
Provide incentive. Tell your children the importance of saving. "For every dollar he or she agrees to save and invest rather than spend, you agree to add another dollar to the pot, "says Cathy Pareto, expert in money planning.
Explain your values. Values and money are deeply intertwined(缠结在一起), says Eilleen Gallo, co-author of The Financially Intelligent Parent. When your child demands that you buy something, explain why you really don't want to buy it. "You might say, 'I'd rather save that money for your education,'" advises Gallo. Every time you spend or don't spend money, you have a chance to share your values.

●Relax． 5 Of course you can’t get up and move around in the middle of a test, but you can wiggle(扭动)your fingers and toes, take four or five deep breaths, or picture yourself on a beach or some calm place．

Early Childhood EducationEarly childhood education is the formal(正规的)teaching and care of young children．It primarily focuses on learning through playing to encourage the child's different kinds of development． 1
Studies with Head Start programs throughout the United States have shown some evidence that there are quite a few advantages to early childhood education, which can produce significant gains in children's learning and development．Compared to a child who does not attend pre-school, children completing their early education programs are found to be better at math and reading skills．They are excited to learn and have the tools to do so． 2 These children are more competent in their pre-school, kindergarten and school-age years, and they are usually reported as “friendlier” by parents and the children's peers(同伴)．
3 In studies with matched control groups, more students who had early schooling experiences were employed at the age of 19, fewer were on welfare, and fewer were involved with the criminal activity．What's more, some studies show that children attending pre-school are more likely to graduate and have higher education, and be well integrated(综合)as an adult．
Early childhood education gives most children a jump-start on education for their kindergarten and primary school years．It is clear that early childhood education can have some great benefits for children． 4 If early childhood education is less effective, perhaps the best model is finding strategies for allowing a parent to stay home with his or her child for at least the first two to three years．Also important is considering a child's own personality． 5
A．The long-term influence of early education is significant as well．
B．They can benefit greatly from encouragement in their early childhood．
C．Yet its quality must be assessed to see what kind of benefits it actually provides．
D．They are also able to relate to others in a superior way and that improves their social skills．
E．Many experts of education have concerned about what early childhood education means today．
F．Individual differences in children mean that not all children will get equal benefits from early childhood education．
G．It consists of activities that serve children in the pre-school years and is designed to improve later school performance．
It is Saturday afternoon. You and your friends are planning to go to the movies and then spend the night together. Just as you start to get ready, your dad reminds you that it is your aunt's birthday and the whole family is going out to dinner to celebrate. How can this possibly end without a huge argument?
One of the greatest sources of tension (紧张情绪) between teenagers and their families is the struggle to balance personal desires with family expectations. As you are getting older, you are becoming more independent and more interested in being with your friends.
However，at the same time，your family is trying to figure out how to deal with these changes. While you once spent most of your free time with your family, you are now often absent from home. Parents may get their feelings hurt. Or they might feel that they are losing control of their family during this period. You might feel angry that so many family demands are placed on you.
There are a few things you can try to make it a little easier to ease (缓解) the tension.
* Make your plans in advance. Ask your parents if there is anything else planned at that time.
* When something with your friends interferes (冲突) with a family event，try to figure out if there is any way you can do both.
* Suggest something you would really like to do with your family. Sometimes parents feel better just knowing their teenager wants to spend time with them.
Some of the time you won’t be happy with the outcome (结果). You might either have to disappoint your parents or have to miss out being with your friends. However, if you show consideration for the feelings of both your family and your friends，you can solve the problem in a tender way.
