A lot of us lose life’s tough battles by starting a frontal(正面的) attack — when a touch of humor might well enable us to win. Consider the case of a young friend of mine, who

  36   a traffic jam on his way to work shortly   37   receiving an ultimatum(最后通牒) about being late for work. Although there was a good reason for Sam’s being late — serious illness at home — he decided that this by-now-familiar excuse wouldn’t   38   any longer. His supervisor(主管) was probably already pacing up and down preparing a dismissal

  39  .

Yes, the boss was. When Sam entered the office at 9:35, it was as   40   as a locker room(更衣室)— everyone was hard at work. Sam’s supervisor   41   him. Suddenly, Sam forced a grin (露齿笑) and   42   out his hand. “How do you do!” he said. “I’m Sam Maynard. I’m    43   a job, which, I understand, became available just 35 minutes ago. Does the early bird get the worm?”

The room burst into   44  . The supervisor clamped off(忍住) a smile and walked back to his office. Sam Maynard had   45   his job — with the only tool that could win, a laugh.

Humor is a most effective, yet   46   ignored, means of handling the difficult situations in our lives. It can be used for patching up differences, apologizing, saying “no”, criticizing, getting the other fellow to do what you want   47   his losing face. For some jobs, it’s the only tool that can succeed. It is a way to discuss subjects so sensitive that serious dialogue may start a quarrel.

As parents, we like to make sure that our children are eating well and getting all the nutrients(营养)they need. Children need two to three kinds of vegetables every day.

A simple way to get our children to eat vegetables is by eating them ourselves. Following our example, they may start eating vegetables themselves. Don't say things like, "If you eat your vegetables, you can have dessert. "These methods work for a little while but can possibly lead them to hate vegetables more. Give your children new varieties of foods which will help them develop a taste for trying new things.

Sometimes the simple things just don't work. We have to start becoming a little creative to make our children eat vegetables. By doing this in the beginning when children are small, we will help them learn to love vegetables.

Think of creative ways to make children eat vegetables. For example, cut up vegetables like carrots, cucumbers and place them in a creative way on a plate for an afternoon snack(零食). Or try using cheese sauce either by dipping(蘸) the vegetables in it or by putting the cheese right on top of cooked or raw vegetables.

If you prefer, you can also add a teaspoon (茶匙)of sugar on top of cooked green beans and peas to make them taste a little sweeter. Doing this shouldn't lead to a sweet tooth as long as you only give them a small amount.

If you have children that refuse to eat vegetables, some of these suggestions I've listed will help to turn that around. In the end, you're not only just getting them to eat vegetables, you're also helping them to live a healthier lifestyle.
