Each of us fails from time to time．If we are wise, we accept these failures as a 1 part of the learning process．But all too often as parents and teachers we disallow this 2 right to our children．

When I see a child 3 to this kind of pressure, I think of Donnie．

Donnie was my youngest third grader．His 4 of failure kept him from classroom games that other children enjoyed．He 5 answered questions — he might be wrong．

I tried my best to build his 6．But nothing changed until midterm, when Mary Anne, a student teacher, was assigned （安排）to our classroom．

She was young and pretty, and she loved children．My pupils, Donnie included,7 her．

One morning, we were working math problems at the chalkboard．Donnie had 8 the problems with painstaking neatness．Pleased with his progress, I 9 the children with Mary Anne and went for art materials．When I returned, Donnie was in 10 ．He’d missed the third problem．

My student teacher looked at me in despair．Suddenly her face 11．From the desk we shared, she got a container filled with pencils．

"Look, Donnie," she said, kneeling beside him and gently 12 the tear stained face from his arms．"I’ve got something to13 you．" She removed the pencils, one at a time, and placed them on his desk．

"See these 14 , Donnie," she continued．"They belong to Mrs. Lindstrom and me．See how the erasers are 15 ? That’s because we make mistakes too．But we erase the mistakes and try again．That’s what you 16 learn to do, too．"

She kissed him and stood up．"Here," she said, "I’ll leave one of these pencils on 17 desk so you’ll remember that everybody makes mistakes, 18 teachers．" Donnie looked up with love in his eyes and a smile．

The pencil became Donnie’s 19 possession．That, together with Mary Anne’s frequent encouragement, gradually 20 him that it’s all right to make mistakes — as long as you erase them and try again．

Listening to music can help me focus better. Since I discovered it two years ago，I've used music to get through boring work or to focus creatively. I've found that it can make even the dullest jobs enjoyable and help clear mental blocks to creativity.

I first noticed the good effects of music while playing video games. It was a few days before Christmas in 2005 and I was playing online video games. My parents had just given me a new MP3，so I decided to listen to music through the headphones while I played. After a few minutes I noticed a great change in my style of play. I was playing more naturally. The music relaxed me，and，to a certain extent，distracted me from the game，allowing my subconscious(潜意识的)talent to come through. The music also helped me block out the outside world. With those headphones on I was like a machine，moving from one task to the next without unnecessary thoughts or actions.

Music can also have a great effect on mood. If I'm in a bad mood at work，I'll listen to some of Bob Marley's and get down to business. It always takes my mind off what I'm doing and makes me a happier person. The same is true for classic rock. One summer，I did a boring job collecting bottle openers by hand. Without a radio playing classic rock in the background，I would have hated life.

Listening to music with relaxing rhythms and a positive message helps you forget your work and think happy thoughts. But the results you see will depend heavily on your personal tastes. Experiment with the types of music you listen to during certain tasks. By trial and error you'll finally discover your best choice.

I'm always looking for new concentration aids，so I'd love to know what type of music works best for me.

The area of child psychology is one of the most significant and well studied of all the branches of psychology. It aims to help with achieving a greater understanding of the behavior of children through an understanding of their minds. It deals with children who range from the prenatal(出生前的)stage right up to the stage of adolescence.

The psychologist Jean Piaget (1896-1980) has been credited with making a major breakthrough in this area when he put forward his idea that children were not actually less intelligent than adults, rather they just thought in a different way. Preciously the development of children right from birth through to adulthood was an area that was almost completely neglected. In fact very little work was done in this area. However, interest in this field has now developed to the point of being one of the most debated of all the areas of psychology.

Despite popular belief that factors such as genetics or personal characteristics are the only determining factors that influence a youth’s behavior, this is not in fact the case. In reality, development actually includes many more factors than those contained within an individual. Factors such as environment, which can include social relationships and the surrounding culture, also play important roles. Relationships with both peers and adults will no doubt affect how children think and learn, and therefore develop. These relationships can include those that are found not only within families but also in schools and peer groups.

Culturally speaking, this factor will contribute greatly to how children develop their personality concerning the values they end up holding (perhaps for a lifetime) as well as how they view such things as traditions and customs.

Nowadays, psychologists have agreed that a child’s psychology is both unique and highly complex. However, there are debates on many different points in this field and many viewpoints exist.

1.The word “neglected” underlined in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “______”.

A. ignored B. destroyed C. developed D. explored

2.What does the third paragraph mainly tell us?

A. Popular belief about child psychology.

B. The role families play in a child’s development.

C. Factors that affect a child’s development.

D. The importance of relationships to a child.

3.The author’s purpose in writing the passage is to ____.

A. introduce an important psychologist.

B. give a brief introduction to child psychology.

C. compare some of the areas of psychology.

D. explain the development in psychology.
