Praise is like frosting（糖衣）on a cake. A little makes it taste better and too much will ruin everything. Kids need your encouragement and love it when you recognize their achievements. Just don’t ruin their trust by leading them to believe every little thing they do is worthy of praise. When they grow up, they will find that they can’t be accepted by society and probably think it was you who made them so needy of praise.

Recently, I had the opportunity to observe a family, 5-year-old Joshua and his parents, in action. They had arrived at my office about 15 minutes early, and having returned from lunch with a few minutes to spare, I was talking with my secretary in the waiting room. As I was collecting my things to walk back to my office, I was greatly surprised by a series of Joshua’s mother’s comments. The kid was playing with some blocks on the floor, and his mother kept praising him on his progress. “Oh, Joshua, that’s such a nice s tack（堆）of blocks. You are so smart!” followed by “What a great job. I couldn’t have built that when I was your age.” Then his father added, “That’s my boy”, which nearly caused my secretary to gag（窒息）. After all, the kid was 5 years old, and stacking up a few wooden blocks is not a great achievement. No wonder he was having problems following directions in school--no teacher would be able to give him the amount of attention and praise necessary to keep the child interested.

What is wrong with praising a child? Actually, it may cause a lot of harm if it is not given properly. Praising children in certain ways may set them up to become praise junkies（成瘾者）--expecting their parents or others to praise them for almost every act or feeling, rather than developing internal（内在的）measurement for self-respect and feeling of achievement. Try to give praise only when necessary, no more and no less.

___________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________

One possible version:

A certain amount of praise for children is positive but over-praised children will find it difficult to be accepted by society. Recently when I saw how 5-year-old Joshua was praised by his parents for doing an easy thing for his age, I realized his parents’ too praise was the cause of his problems in school. So we should give kids proper praise only when necessary.

In a small village, the parents of a little boy were very depressed due to his bad temper(脾气). The boy used to get angry very easily and hurt others with his words. While he forgot what he spoke in anger, his friends and neighbours avoided him.

His mother and father tried many ways to make him give up his anger and develop kindness. Unfortunately, all their attempts failed. Finally, the boy’s father came up with an idea.

One day, his father gave him a huge bag of nails, asking him to hammer one nail to the fence every time he lost his temper. The little boy found it funny and accepted what his father had said. His anger drove him to hammer 30 nails into the fence on the first day! Over the next few days, the little boy found it very difficult to hammer the nails into the fence and decided to control his temper.

Gradually, the number of nails hammered into the fence was reduced and the day arrived when he hammered none!

Now, his father told him to remove the nails every day as he had controlled his anger. Several days passed and the boy was able to pull out most of the nails from the fence.

The father appreciated him and asked him, pointing to one of the holes, “What do you see there?”

The boy replied, “A hole in the fence?”

He told the boy, “The nails were your bad temper and they were hammered into people. You ca n remove the nails but still see the holes in the fence. The fence never looks the same! It has scars all over! Your bad temper and anger were like that! Use words for good. Use them to show your heart!”

Over the past few years, there has been a big increase in the number of people sharing information online. In this article, we will learn about some positive reasons for people to share information online.

94% of those surveyed by The New York Times said they put a lot of thought into how the content they are sharing will be beneficial to others. We often share information with our friends in the office or at home to educate, entertain, or pleasantly surprise them. This is also true while sharing information online. If you look at the Facebook wall posts of your friends, you will realize that most of their updates are usually famous quotes(引述), entertaining videos, humorous images, funny jokes, etc.

A lot of people share information online to picture their true self to the outside world. Some people, especially those who are shy and not comfortable talking about their areas of interest in the presence of others, find it extremely convenient to share that information online with others. According to the study, 78% of the people said they shared information online because it helps them develop better relationships. Today, people are so busy that they do not have the time to meet each other personally. A lot of people now “meet” each other online, rather than in places like restaurants and pubs.

Lastly, when we share our thoughts online, we are actively communicating with a large number of people who are a part of the World Wide Web. Sharing information will affect the viewpoint of others, or add to their understanding about the world.

People increasingly share information online for several positive reasons. Most people hope what they share will benefit others. Some people show their true self by sharing information online. People also do this to keep in touch with friends and make new friends. Quite a few people share their thoughts online hoping to influence others' view points in a positive way. (59 words)

Punishing children is a controversial topic. Everybody has different opinions about how to act to correct a child’s behavior. Parents, teachers, doctors and specialists such as psych ologists, have disagreements about whether it is good for a child’s education to punish him or her.

The word “punish” means different things to different people. Punishment can be physical or emotional. Physical punishment is when the parent hits, slaps or spanks the child.

On the other hand, emotional punishment is when the parent, in order to educate the child, doesn’t let him or her watch TV, go to play with his or her friends, or do things like that. The parent doesn’t teach him or her, but still he or she punishes the child.

Although many surveys and studies have been made about what the correct way is to raise a child, nobody has the answer or the truth. I think it will be very difficult to find the answer or get people to agree.

I think the parents should love their child and give him or her the best education, but at the same time, they should punish the child if he or she deserves it. I think if you love your child, you should be rational when you apply the punishment. It should be reasonable but strict.

The parents’ goal is to have in the future a good man or woman in society, so sometimes you should do what is necessary to get your child to behave well.

People have mixed opinions towards punishment to children. (要点1)Punishment can be physical or emotional, but the way they are punished is the key problem. (要点2)As a matter of fact, it is difficult to find the correct way to raise a child. (要点3)Proper punishment can be instructive and necessary to children if it is reasonable and strict. But love and education are the most important for us to make our kids behave well. (要点4)

One in three of us eat more meals by ourselves than we do with other people, a new study

showed today.

But before you digest that somewhat depressing figures, there is some good news ---kind of --- a lot of us are perfectly happy to eat alone because the computer and TV provide us with solitary (独居的) entertainment.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, half of the UK’s bachelors eat a meal alone at least once a day. And even one in four mothers with families have dinner mostly by themselves according to a major report on eating trends and social change by the F uture Foundation. However, eating alone doesn’t seem to matter anymore if you can chat away on social networks- in fact it’s now both a quick and entertaining affair.

“Suppertainment” is the phrase being coined for the current major trend that reflects the number of people who eat in front of the computer, TV or games. Single men are the majority leading this trend, with 60 percent of them spending meal times plugged into something. However, 40 percent of mothers and 30 percent of students also eat meals while being on the PC or laptop several times a week.

Boyd Hilton, TV and reviews editor of Heat Magazine says: “Setting yourself up in front of the TV to ‘Suppertain’ comes naturally, especially when you’ve been on the go all day.

“If I’m on my own I always tend to make a quick and easy meal and settle down to watch something entertaining or I’ll get on the laptop and catch up with comedies.”

“I think it’s such a bonus that healthy, tasty convenience meals now mean you can relax about eating good food withou t having to worry about preparation time.”

One possible version:

A recent study shows that there is a new eating trend in the UK-one in three of British eat more meals by themselves than they do with others. Most of them are happy to eat alone because of the solitary entertainment provided by the compute r and TV. The new phrase “ suppertainment” is coined to reflect that the number of people who eat in front of the computer, TV or game console is trending. If you have been busy all day. “suppertainment” comes naturally when you set yourself up in front of the TV.

With global warming and melting ice, it isn’t easy being a polar bear anymore. Some studies have predicted that polar bears could die out by the end of the century. The good news is not all researchers think the bears are absolutely disappearing. Scientists at the American Museum of Natural History(AMNH) have published a new paper indicating that things might not be as bad for polar bears as some scientists expect.

To understand the re ason for the researchers’ cautious optimism, we must first understand the factors that are threatening the polar bear’s existence. Polar bears consume a diet of mainly young seals. In order to hunt these seals, polar bears need to rest at the top of sea ice---the same ice that

is increasingly melting for most of the year thanks to climate change. In another 50 years, experts expect that the Arctic will be too warm for sea ice to form for half of the year, leaving polar bears without a reliable food source and in serious danger of starvation.

As it turns out, alternative food sources for the polar bears aren’t completely out of the question. For as long as biologists have tailed after the animals, they’ve seen polar bears eating animals found on land like caribou(驯鹿) and snow geese---as well as the snow geese’s eggs.

Can polar bears actually survive off these alternative food sources for long periods of time? To figure this out, researchers calculated the nutrients that a caribou and snow geese diet would provide. They found that even adult male polar bears would be able to obtain more calories than they would burn in hunting these meals. Moreover, the food would provide the food necessary to avoid starvation during the summer months.

Unfortunately, not all polar bears have tended to seek food on land. That said, the researchers expect that necessity would push more polar bears to hunt on land to avoid starvation. They also expect that the bears could learn from their fellow bears how to hunt on land until the practice becomes second nature.

One possible version:

With global warming and melting ice, some scientists think that polar bears could die out by the end of the century. However, other scientists think that polar bears could die out by the end of the century. However, other scientists don’t think so. They have found polar bars have found alternative food sources and they can survive by hunting animals on land instead of your seals. The researchers expect all polar bears learn how to hunt on land to avoid starvation.

Child raising is probably one of the most difficult jobs for people to do all over the world. Since babies do not come with child raising manuals(指南), couples, especially future mothers, have to learn from their mothers, aunts, mothers-in-law, or any other relative who is close to them. As children grow up, parents have to find reasonable ways in order to help their children, advise them, punish them, lead them to achievements, and teach them. Sometimes children under ten may behave inappropriately. For example, they learn to say offensive words and they show no respect to their relatives. I think parents in these cases should punish their children in a reasonable way. Children must know those kinds of attitudes are not good at all.

There are many aspects which influence parents in this hard job, for example, the culture in which they live, the economic situation in their society, and the religious environment.

One group consists of people who don’t have economical resources or education. In this group, people get married when they are teenagers. Their Children are taken to their grandparents’ homes, so the job of child raising is done by grandparents instead of the real parents. If the grandparents are on the sidewalks selling newspapers, cigarettes, or magazines, the children will

be like them, too. Some of them even end up being wallet thieves, gang members and drug users.

Other groups of people are hard workers or well-educated. The children grow up in their parents’ homes and are disciplined and punished differently. They learn to respect other people, and they are led to achieve in school, sports and community service. When they grow up, they often become political leaders, community leaders, and professionals in their fields.

One possible version:

Child raising is a tough job for couples, especially future mothers. (要点1) Parents should try every means to educate their children to behave well. (要点2) There are many factors that influence the parents in bringing up their children. (要点3) To make it clear, two different examples are given, which reveal that different family backgrounds and educational methods can surely produce different effects. (要点4)

When I was small and my grandmothe r died, I couldn’t understand why I had no tears. But that night when my dad tried to cheer me up, my laugh turned into crying.

So it came as no surprise to learn that researchers believe crying and laughing come from the same part of the brain. Just as laughing has many health advantages, scientists are discovering that so, too, does crying.

Whatever it takes for us to reduce pressure is important to our emotional(情感的) health, and crying seems to work well. One study found that 85 % of women and 73% of men report feeling better after crying.

Besides, tears attract help from other people Researchers agree that when we cry, people around us become kinder and friendlier and they are more ready to provide support and comfort. Tears also enable us to understand our emotions better; sometimes we don’t even know we’re very sad until we cry. We learn about our emotions through crying, and then we can deal with them.

Just as crying can be healthy, not crying – holding back tears of anger, pain or suffering- can be bad for physical(身体的) health. Studies have shown that too much control of emotions can lead to high blood pressure, heart problems and some other illnesses. If you have a health problem, doctors will certainly not ask you to cry. But when you feel like crying, don’t fight it. It’s a natural – and healthy- emotional response(反应)。

According to research, crying and laughing come from the same part of the brain．So crying has many health advantages, like laughing．Crying can help us to reduce pressure．Besides, when we cry, people around us become kinder and friendlier and they are ready to provide support and comfort．Crying is a natural and healthy emotional response, holding back tears can be bad for physical health．

The food we eat seems to have a great effect on our health. Although science has made big steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of human illness is related to food and forty percent of cancer is caused by food. This is not a new discovery. In 1945, some researchers realized that things commonly used to keep colors in meats and other food additives (添加剂) caused cancer.

Yet, these additives remain in our food, and it is difficult to know which things on the wrappings（包装）of foods are helpful or harmful. The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin(青霉素) to their animals, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of cows. Sometimes similar things are supplied to animals not for their health, but just to make a profit.

The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to get a higher price on the market. Although some countries have tried to control such things, the practice continues.

One possible version:

Science has made the quality of our food greatly improved. Meanwhile some foods are made unfit to eat. Research has proved that most of our diseases are caused by some food additives, including cancer. Apart from this, similar things are provided for animals by farmers not for their health, but just to make a profit, which has an indirect effect on our health. Although some countries have made efforts to control such things, this phenomenon still exists.

One of the most important lessons you should learn is that after you drink, you shouldn’t drive. I got a DUI, which means Driving Under the Influence. If you get pulled over and you smell like an alcoholic, the police will ask you to take a breathalyzer (呼吸分析器) test. When you do the test, you have to blow really hard into a machine, which will then tell you if you are over the limit to drive a vehicle. The limit is usually 0.08 blood alcohol volume, so if you pass that, you are going to jail.

Even though you won’t go to jail, you will be suffering the consequences of your mistake for a long time. Here is a list of the things you will have to do if you get a DUI: go to court, go to alcohol education classes, go to Alcoholics Anonymous and pay a lot of money for fines. If you don’t want to pay, you will have to do community service. I go a DUI two years ago, and I am still suffering the consequences. I still have 56 hours for community service. I have to update my insurance policy and deal with the Department of Motor Vehicles.

You will waste a lot of time and money. It gets difficult to get a job, because you have been arrested for s ome reason. It’s not worth it. If you are thinking about going out to celebrate and party with friends and family, do one of the following: get a designated (指定的) driver, take the bus or train, or call a taxi. It may cost you a little bit of money, but compared with the money you will lose if you get a DUI, it’s nothing. Don’t drive after drinking.

One possible version:

Y ou shouldn’t drive after drinking. When the police find you’re over the limit to drive, you’ll be sent to prison. (要点1) Even though you aren’t arrested, you’ll su ffer some other consequences of your mistake.（要点2）What’s worse, you can’t get a job easily.（要点3）If you have to drink outside, it’s necessary to get yourself sent home in other ways instead of driving by yourself.（要点4）
