I am a strong believer that if a child is raised with approval, he will learn to love himself and will be successful in his own way.
Several weeks ago, I was doing homework with my son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair to go over the math lines. I kept asking him to sit down, telling him that he would concentrate better. He sat but seconds later, as if he didn't even notice he was doing it, he got up again. I was getting frustrated, but then it hit me. I started noticing his answers were much quicker and accurate when he stood up. Could he be more intent while standing up?
This made me start questioning myself and what I had been raised to believe・ I was raised to believe that a quiet, calm child was a sure way to success・ This child would have the discipline to study hard, get good grades and become someone important in life.
Now those same people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of DNA and personality traits, and all you can do is loving and accepting them. As parents, throughout their growing years and beyond that, we need to be our kids' best cheerleaders; guiding them and helping them find their way.
I have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate. Obviously, he is concentrating just in his own way and not mine. We need to learn to accept our kids' ways of doing things. Some way may have worked for me but doesn't mean we need to carry it through generations. There is nothing sweeter than being individual and unique. It makes us free and happy and that's just the way I want my kids to live their own life.
1.At the beginning, the author tried to keep his son seated in order to make him .
A.pay more attention to his study B.keep silent in the room
C.finish his homework on time D.get right answers
2.Inspired by the case of his son, the author began to doubt .
A.the importance of parents B.the old form of education
C.the relationship between kids and their parents D.the good grades of some kids
3.According to the passage, which of the following statements is right?
A.We should help kids correct their wrong ways. B.Parents, should study their kids* DNA.

4.Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?
A.Study hard and you'll be successful B.Be friendly to your children

This activity will melt away the pounds, build your body and leave you on an emotional high. Yet the form of exercise, the fitness trend of the year, does not require gym membership or a personal trainer. All you need to do is walk.
"Walking is a refreshing alternative to complicated aerobic （氧）routines and overpriced gym membership," says personal trainer Lucy Knight, author of a new book on the exercise. “It is free, enjoyable and already a part of everyday life. All you need to do is correct your technique, walk faster and for longer and you will lose weight?"
There is much evidence of the benefits of walking. Scientists at the University of Pittsburgh recently discovered that overweight people who walked briskly （快）for 30 to 60 minutes a day lost weight even if they didn't change any other lifestyle habits. Another American study found that people who walked for at least four hours a week gained less weight than couch potatoes as they got older. Researchers at the University of Massachusetts medical school found that people who walked every day had 25 percent fewer colds than those who sat a lot. Best of all, walking makes you feel good about yourself "For people suffering from depression, walking three to four times a week for 30 minutes has been shown to lift their mood,” says Knight.
But how to walk your way to weight loss and wellness? Health experts recommend that we should walk 10,000 steps a day to stay healthy. Actually, you would probably need to walk at least 16,000 steps a day to lose weight. "Your workout plans depend on your level of fitness. You should aim to progress by increasing your walking time by five minutes every two weeks, and walk a bit faster. In just three months, the results should speak for themselves," says Knight.
1.What is the latest fitness trend according to the passage?
A.Brisk walking. B.Losing weight.
C.Working out in a gym. D.Exercising with a personal trainer.
2.The underlined word "overpriced" in paragraph 2 means .

3.Studies and researches are mentioned in the passage to show walking .

To Friend or Not to Friend
We all love our parents and turn to them when we're in need, but would you like them to hear the conversations you have with your friends on the school playground or lunch queue? Social networking sites have become extensions of the school hallways, so would you add your parents as "friends” and allow them to view your online activities and conversations with friends?
In the past the generation gap included a technology gap, where children were up to date with latest technology and parents were left behind, content to continue their day to day lives as they always had because they had no need to know more about technology. However, more and more parents are beginning to realize just how important social networks are in their lives. This realization has given many parents the motivation to educate themselves about social networking sites.
These days many people are attracted to social networking sites because they can choose who they have around them; there's also a certain amount of control over privacy that we don't get in real life. Sometimes we feel that privacy is violated when we must accept a "friend" request from a parent or family member.
It's a difficult choice whether or not to allow a parent to become a part of our online lives. On the one hand we don't want to "reject" their request because that might hurt their feelings or make them feel you have something to hide. On the other hand if you do accept, then you could have a sense of being watched and no longer feel free to comment or communicate the way you did before.
A recent survey suggested that parents shouldn't take it personally if their child ignores their request: "When a teen ignores a parent's friend request, it doesn't necessarily mean that they are hiding something, but it could mean that this is one part of their life where they want to be independent." Perhaps talking with parents and giving explanations would help soften the blow if you do choose not to add them to your friends list.
1.From Paragraph 2, we learn that
A.parents feel secure about the privacy online
B.social networks successfully fill the generation gap
C.parents have realized the importance of social networks
D.social networks offer a platform for parents to communicate
2.Teenagers may refuse a parent's friend request because .
A.they hide something from their parents
B.they are unwilling to be watched by parents
C.their parents tend to fall behind in technology
D.their parents make negative comoments on them
3.The passage is mainly about
A.parents* friend requests B.social networks
C.privacy online D.the generation gap
4.The passage is written mainly for
A.teachers B.parents
C.teenagers D.researchers

Sometimes the toughest thing about feelings is sharing them with others. Sharing your feelings helps you whether your feelings are wonderful or terrible. Sharing also helps you to get closer to people you care about and who care about you. But how?
You can’t tell your friends what's inside our backpack if you don't know what's in there yourself. 1..Before you can share them with anyone, you have to figure out what feelings you have. 2.You can do this in your mind or by writing them out or even by drawing pictures. Is something bothering you? Does it make you frustrated or terrified? Do you feel this emotion only once in a while or most of the time?
The way a person feels inside is important. If you keep feelings locked inside, it can even make you feel sick! 3. It doesn't mean your problems and woes magically disappear, but at least someone else knows what's bothering you and can help you find solutions.
Your mom and dad want to know if you have problems and what's happening in your life. But what if a kid doesn't want to talk with pparents? Then find another adult you trust like a relative or a teacher at school. 4.
Once you know who you can talk with, you'll want to pick a time and place to talk You can talk publicly in your family. But some kids are more private than others and they will feel shy about sharing their feelings. 5.. A kid doesn't have to share every feeling he or she has.
A.Feelings are the same way.
B.Making a list of your feelings can help.
C.And there is always a person you can turn to.
D.Thinking about what you can do is of great importance.
