21、How to teach kids responsibility
We'd all like our kids to develop into responsible people. How can we help to ensure that our kids learn the lessons of responsibility? Here are some ideas:
Start them with tasks when they're young.
【1】 They can do a lot more than you think if you're patient and creative. Encourage them to begin at an early age, and this helps them build confidence and enthusiasm for later tasks in their life.
Don't use rewards with your kids.
If you want your kids to develop a natural sense of responsibility, they need to learn what they do affects others not just themselves. 【2】
Use natural consequences when they make mistakes.
If they keep losing their baseball glove somewhere, let them deal with the consequences. Maybe they have to ask to borrow one for the game. 【3】 If you rescue them every time they make a mistake, they'll never learn responsibility.
【4】
This is where they'll learn it from. Take care of your stuff. Try to be on time. They're watching you very closely.
Give them an allowance(零用钱) early in their life.
Let them make their own money decisions from an early age. They'll learn their lessons in a hurry. 【5】
A.Model responsible behavior for your kids.
B.Maybe they have to buy a new one if it's lost.
C.Don't help them out if they run out of money.
D.Train your kids to be responsible and careful.
E.They won't learn that if they're focused on what they're going to “get”.
F.Young kids have a strong desire to help out, even as young as age two.
G.They'll pick up on this belief and they'll tend to rise to the level of expectation.
22、Every email, post, photo and click you make online leaves a track. Even by reading this article, you’re adding to your ever-growing online image, which will be seen and judged, fairly or not, by others. Whether or not your information is shared intentionally, it’s being gathered by advertisers, employers and companies from which you shop.
It's permanent, it follows you for life and it's not going anywhere——it's your digital footprint.
It is becoming more important than ever in today’s digital economy. One's digital footprint can affect somebody’s life in a positive or negative way depending on what kind of digital citizen you are. Everybody can see what you post, react to, or comment on. This includes employers, parents, teachers and even people you don't know. From seeing the types of things you post and like, people get an understanding of who you are and take a glance at your life. This can lead to loss of opportunity like jobs and schooling. Your digital footprint can also help one to be exposed to more opportunities and bring more attention to one’s brand and business.
“A strong online presence, or digital footprint, can be a career wealth in today’s competitive job market. Many employers are performing online searches——in addition to reviewing resumes and cover letters——in an attempt to learn about potential hires, including their interests, industry involvement and, more importantly, their ability to market themselves effectively,” says Diane Domeyer, career expert and director of The Creative Group.
Now that you know what a digital footprint is, take the proper steps to cultivate it. Think of it as a lifelong development. Take advantage of the platform to present yourself in a good light and show off your best qualities. After all, you never know who will be looking in our newfound digital economy.
【1】Which of the following will become your digital footprint?
A.Riding the latest bikes for outdoor activities.
B.Purchasing electric cars in physical shops.
C.Taking pictures during your visit to Beijing.
D.Paying the annual bill through face recognition.
【2】How can your digital footprint affect you in today's digital economy?
A.By reflecting your online personal image.
B.By keeping an eye on your personal brand.
C.By recording the number of your comments.
D.By knowing people from different walks of life.
【3】What can we infer about the digital footprint according to Diane Domeyer?
A.It might replace cover letters.
B.It might involve home market.
C.It might decide your next job.
D.It might develop your interest.
【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A.Can You Manage Your Digital Footprint?
B.Do You Have a Positive Digital Footprint?
C.Why Is the Digital Footprint Important Now?
D.What Does Your Digital Footprint Say About You?
23、 Stephen Hawking was born in Oxford, England on 8th January, 1942. He went to school in St Allbans, a small city near London. Although he did well, he was never top of his class. After leaving school, Hawking went first to Oxford University where he studied physics and then went to Cambridge University where he studied cosmology(宇宙学). As he himself admits, he didn’t work hard. He was a very lazy student, and did very little work. However, he still got high marks.
It was at the age of 20 that Hawking first noticed something was wrong with him. He started to bump into things. When he visited his family at Christmas time, his mother was so worried that she made him see a doctor. Hawking was sent to hospital for tests. Finally, the result came back. Hawking had motor neuron disease(运动神经元病), a terminal illness which would make him unable to speak, breathe or move without the help of a machine. Doctors said they had no way to help him. He would die before 23.
At first, Hawking became very depressed. After a while, though, he began to see his life in a different way. As he later wrote,“Before my illness was diagnosed(诊断), I had been very bored with life. There had not seemed to be anything worth doing. But shortly after I came out of hospital, I suddenly realized that there were a lot of worthwhile things I could do.”Then Hawking got married and found a job at Cambridge University as a professor. He strongly believes that his story shows that nobody, however bad their situation is, should lose hope.“Life is not fair.”He once said.“You just have to do the best you can in your own situation.”
