　　Mark Twain（马克·吐温）is a famous American writer. He liked to know something about others' childhood. But one day someone asked him, “Could you remember the first money you got?” Mark Twain thought for a long time, then he answered, “Yes. I think I can't forget it all my life.” “Why? Is it much?” “No. It was only five dollars,” he said. “I was at school at that time. Some students didn't study hard in our class. And they didn't often finish their homework. They never respect（尊敬）teachers and often damaged desks or chairs. So our teachers were very angry with them. Then they made some rules so that we could take care of the desks and chairs. One of the rules was that anyone who damaged the desk or chair with a pencil or knife would be beaten before the whole school or have to pay for five dollars.”

　　“Did you damage that?” “Yes. One day I damaged my desk. I was very afraid.But I had to tell my father about it. I hoped he could give me five dollars. When my father understood what I did, he agreed to give me money and let me hand over（上交）to our teacher. I felt very happy. But to my surprise, before giving me the money, he gave me a beating. Because my father said it was too bad to have his face lost in front of the whole school.” “Bad luck! What did you do with the five dollars?” “Oh, it sounded very funny. I thought I had been beaten once, so I wasn't afraid of it any more. At last, I decided to receive another beating at school and keep the five dollars for myself. That was the first money I ever got.”

　　It is difficult for parents of nearly every family to teach their children to be responsible for homework, but with one of the following suggestions, you really can get your children to help at home.

　　You give your children the impression that they can never do anything quite right, then they will regard themselves as unfit or unable persons. Unless children believe they can succeed, they will never become totally independent(独立的).

　　My daughter Carla's fifth-grade teacher made every child in her class feel special. When students receive less than a perfect test score, she would point out what they had mastered and declared firmly they could make up what they had missed. You can use the same technique when you evaluate(评价) your child's work at home. Don't always scold(责骂) and give lots of praise instead. Talk about what he had done right, not about what he hasn't done. If your child completes a difficult task, reward(奖励) him with a Sunday trip or a ball game with Dad.
