　　Getting your children to study can be a little like getting them to eat their vegetables．

　　　　1　　 Make a study time and have it at the same time every day．This will help your kid to learn to schedule their day and will give them a sense of control over how they spend their time．

　　Allow them to study in blocks of time, such as for half an hour with a five-minute break in the middle．　　2　　 Ideal(理想的)study times are after dinner or right after school before dinner．

　　Never allow your children to study in front of the television, as that will encourage passive activity．　　3　　

　　You'll also need to help your kids find the right place to study．After you've set up a good study time for little learners, set up a good place where they can get those creative juices flowing．

　　　　4　　 Make sure there is a table or a desk and a comfortable chair．

　　　　5　　 This includes helping them out with their homework sometimes and being there for them with the answers to any questions．The input you give your children during study periods will help form a bond and help make studying enjoyable．

A．Pick a place where your children can study properly．

B．Hold them to the schedule they create for themselves．

C．Finally, spend time with your kids when they're studying．

D．Keep the atmosphere light and offer lots of encouragement, too．

E．Instead, use TV as a treat or a reward when the homework is completed．

F．Try to stop this bad habit by offering some sort of reward．

G．One of the best ways to form good study habits for your kids is to design a schedule that they keep to．

　　You want the adults in your world to understand that you're dealing with a lot of pressures(压力)．You want them to get to know how difficult these problems can be and you want them to help you to deal with them．　　1　　 Changing the way you communicate can help．

　　Let them be part of your group．If your mom doesn't know Cathy starts rumors(造谣)all the time, she won't understand why it's such a big deal that she was looking at you while you were laughing with Jessica．　　2　　

　　Understand them first．Say, “I understand things were different when you were a kid．　　3　　” They will be impressed by your attitude, and it might get them to see your problem in a different way so they can really help．In the end, that's all they want to do．

　　　　4　　 Even if their ideas don't help at first, don't be annoyed and close your door immediately．Then you will have both the problem you started with and a new one with your parent．Sit down and explain your problems to them patiently．Say, “I feel like you don't understand how hard this is for me,” not “You don't even care what I think!” People－even parents－close off when they feel attacked．

　　　　5　　 They just see things differently．So help them out．Do your best to communicate your feelings clearly, and they will do everything they can to help you deal with all the crazy stresses in your life．

A．Be patient．

B．Listen to their questions．

C．Even if sometimes it doesn't feel like your parents really are on your side, they are．

D．But I would like to explain what it's like for me．

E．What should you do?

F．We all learn new ways to deal with things as we get older．

G．Tell her about your life as it happens and she'll have an easier time understanding how you feel．

　　Without most people realizing it, there has been a revolution in office work over the last ten years．Before that time, large computers were only used by large, rich companies that could afford the investment．With the advancement of technology, small computers have come onto the market, which are capable of doing the work that used to be done by much larger and expensive computers, so now most smaller companies can use them

　　The main development in small computers has been in the field of word processors(处理器), or WPS as they are often called．40％ of British offices are now estimated to have a word processor and this percentage is growing fast．

　　There are many advantages in using a word processor for both secretary and manager．The secretary is freed from a lot of daily work, such as re-typing letters and storing papers．He or she can use this time to do other more interesting work for the boss．From a manager's point of view, secretarial time is being made better use of and money can be saved by doing daily jobs automatically outside office hours．

　　But is it all good? If a lot of daily secretarial work can be done automatically, surely this will mean that fewer secretaries will be needed．Another worry is the increasing medical problems related to work with visual display units(显示器)．The case of a slow loss of sight among people using word processors seems to have risen greatly．It is also feared that if a woman works at a VDU for long hours, the unborn child in her body might be killed．Safety screens to put over a VDU have been invented but few companies in England bother to buy them．

　　Whatever the arguments for and against word processor, they are a key feature(特征)of this revolution in office practice．

　　As I walked across the campus of Pittsburgh's Carnegie Mellon University, I came upon a table filled with young people chatting and enjoying the fine weather．　　1　　 Trilogy, an Austin, Texas-based software company, had a reputation for recruiting(招聘)our top students．I walked over to the table．“Are you guys here to recruit?” I asked．“No,” they replied firmly．“We're not recruiters．We're just hanging out with friends．” How interesting, I thought．They've come to campus on a workday, all the way from Austin, just to hang out with friends．

　　I noticed one member of the group sitting on the grass, having multicolored hair, full-body tattoos, and multiple holes in his ears．　　2　　 But as I would later learn, he was a gifted student who had inked the highest-paying deal in the history of their departments．What a change from my own college days, when students would put on their dressy clothes and carefully hide their personalities to prove that they could fit in with the company．　　3　　 In fact, the guy I met on the campus just signed on with Trilogy, right at that table on the grass, with the recruiters who do not “recruit”．

　　　　4　　 I once asked one young man why he was going to a smaller city in Texas．“The company is excellent,” he told me．“There are also terrific people and the work is challenging．” Though he had several good job offers from Pittsburgh's high-tech firms and knew the city well, he said he felt the city lacked the lifestyle options, cultural diversity, and tolerant attitude that would make it attractive to him．

　　　　5　　 He is a member of what I call the creative class：a fast-growing, highly educated and well-paid part of the workforce．They do not consciously think of themselves as a class．Yet they share a common attitude that values creativity, individuality, difference, and advantage．

A．An obvious lazy guy avoiding work, I thought．

B．As they summed it up, “How would I fit in here?”

C．Some of them are the top students in the university．

D．Today, apparently, it's the company trying to fit in with the students．

E．While I was interested in the change, something even bigger struck me．

F．Several had identical blue T–shirts with “Trilogy @ CMU” written across them．

G．This young man represents a lively new force in the economy and life of America．

　　What makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? 　　1　　．

　　We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough．In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle．　　2　　．Mental exercise is particularly important for young children．Many child psychologists think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about．　　3　　．If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent．

　　　　4　　．According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things．So it is probably better for parents to say very positive(helpful)things to their children, such as “That was a very clever thing you did．” or “　　5　　．”

　　In July 2010 Burt's Bees, a personal-care products company, was going through enormous change as it began a global expansion into 19 new countries．In this kind of high-pressure situation, many leaders bother their assistants with frequent meetings or flood their in-boxes with urgent demands．In doing so, managers lift everyone's anxiety level, which activates the part of the brain that processes threats and steals resources from the prefrontal cortex( 大脑皮层), which is responsible for effective problem solving．

　　Burt's Bees's then-CEO, John Wolfgang, took a different approach．Each day, he'd send out an e-mail praising a team member for work related to global marketing．He'd interrupt his own presentations to remind his managers to talk with their teams about the company's values．He asked me to further a three-hour session with employees on happiness in the course of the expansion effort．As one member of the senior team told me a year later, Wolfgang's emphasis on developing positive leadership kept his managers actively involved and loyal as they successfully transformed the company into a global one．

　　That outcome shouldn't surprise us．Research shows that when people work with a positive mind-set(思维模式), performance on nearly every level-productivity, creativity, involvement-improves．Yet happiness is perhaps the most misunderstood driver of performance．For one, most people believe that success comes before happiness．" Once I get a promotion, 111 be happy," they think．Or, "Once I hit my sales target, IH feel great．" But because success is a moving target-as soon as you hit your target, you raise it again-the happiness that results from success does not last long．

　　In fact, it works the other way around：People who have a positive mind-set perform better in the face of challenge．I call this the "happiness advantage"-every business outcome shows improvement when the brain is positive．I've observed this effect in my role as a researcher and lecturer in 48 countries on the connection between employee happiness and success．And I'm not alone：In an analysis of 225 academic studies, researchers found strong evidence of cause-and-effect relationship between life satisfaction and successful business outcomes．

　　Another common misunderstanding is that our genetics, our environment, or a combination of the two determines how happy we are．To be sure, both factors have an impact．But one's general sense of well-being is surprisingly unstable．The habits you form, the way you interact with colleagues, how you think about stress-all these can be managed to increase your happiness and your chances of success．
