It was a merry afternoon at the hall. A toy car race was being held, and the final round is a few minutes away. There were only four __36__ left and it was the rule of the game that the toy cars had to be their own handmade.

Among the players __37__ one child whose toy car looked pretty simple. Many of the audience __38__ the toy car's ability to race against the other three. Even so, the owner wasn't less __39__ of his own __40__.

　 When the race started, they pushed and ran along with the car as fast as they could. __41__， the least magnificent?looking toy car __42__ the finish line first. The champion was then asked by the organizer before __43__ his award, “I saw you praying before the final round __44__. You must have prayed to God that you may win, didn't you？” The champion replied, “That was not __45__ I prayed for. I thought it was unfair to ask God to help me __46__ the other players. I only prayed that God __47__ help me not to cry if I lose.”

　 We often pray that our wish may be granted, but do we __48__ that sometimes our wishes are just the __49__ to what the others may pray for? Does God side on one but not __50__？ Would it be appropriate __51__ us to be joyful while the other person might be __52__ and disappointed?

　 In our lives, there are __53__ things more important than just winning or losing. Wouldn't it be better for us to accept whatever the __54__ may be? Be it a defeat or a win, we can still __55__ to be happy.

Remind children that bad things don’t last. It may sound simple, but the message is extremely important. “Children often don’t have the experience to know that when something bad happens—they lose an important game or their best friends lets them down—it’s not the end of the world,” explains Nancy Leffert, a senior research scientist with the Research Institute, an American adolescents’(青少年) and children’s research group. “They think their bad feelings will last for ever， or that one failure will ruin everything.”
Unfortunately, that kind of thinking discourages motivation(动机).“If a child believes that the cause of her upset is lasting, or that nothing she does will make a difference, it decreases her ability to keep on trying,” says Dorothy Rich, president of the Mega Skills Education Center of the Home and School Institute, based in Washington. Any time you can help your child see that a situation is not lasting, that a result can be changed, or that one opinion does not reflect reality, you give her reason to hope.
Case in point: “When my daughter Kathy was eight，art was one of her favorite subjects，”says Beth，a mother of two. “Then she got an art teacher who gave a great deal of praise to one student and barely noticed the rest．Kathy was ready to give up until I explained to her，‘Never stop doing your best just because one person doesn’t give you praise.’” Beth had to repeat the advice often，and finally her daughter got the message．“Kathy is twelve now, and art is still one of her strongest subjects.”

Adults are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practised in the meantime. A man who has not had an opportunity to go swimming for years can  1    swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after several decades and still   2    away. A mother who has not   3   the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" or recite the story of Cinderella or Snow White.

　　One explanation is the law of over learning, which can be stated as following:   4 we have learned something, additional learning increases the   5    of time we will remember it.

　　In childhood, we usually continue to practise such skills as swimming, bicycle riding long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and   6    ourselves of poems such as "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella or Snow White. We not only learn but __7   .

　　The law of over learning explains why cramming (突击学习) for an examination,   8    it may result in a passing grade, is not a   9    way to learn a school course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little over learning,   10   , is usually a good investment toward the future.

Every day，all across the nation，as many as one in four children refuses to go to school.The reasons are various.“School Refusal”，formerly known as“School Phobia”，is an actual anxiety?based disorder.Many children are vague about their complaints and unable to be sure what is making them anxious，so it is sometimes regarded as typical childhood will fullness.However，the effects of constant school refusal can be far?reaching for your child's education.

So，where's the line between what's normal and what's not？“You need to look at whether it is affecting the child or family's normal life，”explains Christopher Kearney，Ph.D.In other words，if a child's grades are suffering from frequent absences or a parent's job is disturbed，it is time to look closely at the issue.Parents should listen carefully to children who say they can't go to school because of “untestable things”such as stomachaches or headaches.While these complaints alone don't necessarily indicate school refusal，there may be deeper problems if combined with general complaints about school，talks of threats at school and so on.

There are different kinds of behavior in school refusal.Some children are influenced by their friends who skip school to hang out with their friends，showing a sense of rebellion(叛逆)．Some children cling to their mothers，screaming at the thought of having to enter the school building.

However，that doesn't mean that getting a child back into the classroom is impossible.According to Maryann Roth，a school psychologist and guidance counselor(顾问)，parents should attempt to make the child get back to school，no matter how hard it is.Working closely with school officials and possibly a specialist to create a plan is a necessary step.
