26、   When kids tend to learn new skills, supervision（监督）is necessary to ensure kids stay safe.【1】Give kids chances to try something new, make mistakes and learn from them.

If your son wants to learn how to make a butter sandwich, show it, set up the materials and let him try. Will he make a mess? Almost certainly. But be patient if he messes up.【2】If you step in, your boy will think," well. I guess I can't make sandwiches,"

But if you have patience for the mess and the time, the payoff will be real. Someday he'll say," I'm hungry, so I'm going to make my own sandwich." Certainly, sometimes kids can give up. Help by encouraging them to do it one more time.【3】

Once kids reach a goal, you can not only praise the result but also encourage them to try another. For example, after your son has mastered making the butter sandwich you might show your confidence by saying."【4】" That's not a huge achievement, but is a further step in the right direction toward your child's independence.

Throughout childhood, parents have chances to prepare kids to take care of themselves. It's great to feel needed, but as kids gain confidence and independence, their relationship with you can be even richer.【5】

A.Will you make a butter sandwich for me?

B.Next time, why not learn how to fry an egg?

C.It is a clear sign of your faith in his abilities.

D.In fact, it's also important not to stay around.

E.Avoid any behavior that could discourage him.

F.Your kids will share pride in all they've achieved with you.

G.By trying again, kids learn that difficulties can be overcome.

29、   Last summer, two nineteenth-century cottages were rescued from remote farm fields in Montana, to be moved to an Art Deco building in San Francisco. The houses were made of wood. These cottages once housed early settlers as they worked the dry Montana soil; now they hold Twitter engineers.

The cottages could be an example of the industry’s unusual love for “low technology”, a concept associated with the natural world, and with old-school craftsmanship（手艺）that exists long before the Internet era. Low technology is not virtual (虚拟的) —so, to take advantage of it, Internet companies have had to get creative. The rescued wood cottages, fitted by band in the late eighteen-hundreds, are an obvious example. Other companies are using a broader interpretation（阐释）of low technology that focuses on nature.

Amazon is building three glass spheres filled with trees, so that employees can “work and socialize in a more natural, park-like setting.” At Google’s office, an entire is carpeted in glass. Facebook’s second Menlo Park campus will have a rooftop park with a walking path.

Olle Lundberg, the founder of Lundberg Design, has worked with many tech companies over the years. “Our tech engineers are the ones who feel impoverished, because they’re surrounded by the digital world,” he says. “We’ve found that introducing real crafts is one way to regain their individual identity.”

This craft-based theory is rooted in history. William Morris, the English artist and writer, turned back to pre-industrial arts in the eighteen-sixties, just after Industrial Revolution. The Arts and Crafts movement defined itself against machines. “Without creative human occupation, people became disconnected from life.” Morris said.

Research has shown that natural environments can restore our mental abilities. In Japan, patients are encouraged to “forest-bathe”, taking walks through woods to lower their blood pressure.

These health benefits apply to the workplace as well. Rachel Kaplvin, a professor of environmental psychology, has spent years researching the restorative effects of natural environment. Her research found that workers with access to nature at the office - even simple views of trees and flowers - felt their jobs were less stressful and more satisfying. If low-tech offices can potentially benefit the brains and improve the mental health of employees then, fine, bring on the cottages.

【1】The writer mentions the two nineteenth-century cottages to show that _________

A.Twitter is having a hard time

B.Old cottages are in need of protection

C.Early settlers once suffered from a dry climate in Montana

D.Internet companies have rediscovered the benefits of low technology

【2】Low technology is regarded as something that __________

A.is related to nature B.is out of date today

C.cosumes too much energy D.exists in the virtual world

【3】The writer’s attitude to “low technology” can best be described as __________

A.Critical B.positive

C.worried D.doubtful

【4】What can be the best title for the passage?

A.Past Glories, Future Dreams

B.The Virtual World, the Real Challenge

C.High-tech Companies, Low-tech Offices

D.The More Craftsmanship, the Less Creativity

He took first place again in his race. Mike was feeling pretty good. Since then, Mike has decided to have the same ice cream before every swim meet and has always won. Several months passed and Mike was feeling unbeatable. Although he wouldn't admit it, all the ice cream was adding pounds to his athletic swimmer's build.
