You've decided your child is spoiled（宠坏的），and you want to do something about it. Is it too late? Not necessarily。.　 Here are four tips from an expert for getting your child to behave well.

1. You've spoiled your child by giving him or her too much for too little. You can correct this by helping your child to learn to work harder for rewards and understand that not all good behavior is rewarded.2. For example, at first, insist that your daughter put a few toys away before she gets a snack, and gradually increase the amount of work required for each reward.

Don't overreact to crying. When children don't get what they want, their natural behavior is to cry. If you react every time your child cries, you may be denying（拒绝给予） him or her an important chance to learn something. 3.

Prepare for a fight. At the beginning, children's demands will increase when they find out parents are not going to give them the new toys they want. When it happens, be careful not to give in just because the child shouts.　　 4.

Stick to the program. 5. That' s not necessarily a bad thing. It means the requirements are getting stricter and that your child is accepting changes. Remember： Give it time, and don't give up.

A. Make changes slowly.

B. Cut down on rewards.

C. Try your best to comfort the child.

D. Rather, wait until the child calms down.

E. Your child will probably be upset when you begin making changes.

F. There is little doubt that things will get worse before they get better.

G. As a parent, you need to know when to comfort a child and when to simply walk away.

Life-long learning is the concept that “It’s never too soon or too late for learning.” — a philosophy that has taken root in a larger number of different organizations. Life-long learning is an attitude — learners believe that one can and should be open to new ideas, decisions, skills or behaviors. Life-long learning throws the well-known rule “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks” out of the door. Life-long learning provides the general public with learning opportunities at all ages and in different ways: at work, at home and through leisure activities, not just through formal channels such as school and higher education.

Life-long education is often achieved through distance learning or e-learning, continuing education, home schooling, etc. It also includes training programs for those who want to improve their qualifications, bring their skills up to date or retrain for a new line of work. In later life, especially in retirement, continued learning takes various forms, crossing traditional academic limits.

One of the reasons why life-long education has become so important is the rapid progress of modern science and technology. Although the period of primary, secondary and university education is increased, the knowledge and skills gained there are usually not sufficient for a professional career spanning(跨越) three or four decades.

1.The philosophy of life-long learning goes against the concept that “ ______”.

A. It’s never too late to learn.

B. Whoever cares to learn will always find a teacher.

C. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

D. You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.

2.What is the main idea behind life-long education?

A. To force people to keep in learning new skills throughout their working life.

B. To provide teachers with extra income.

C. To allow people to have chances to receive education throughout their life.

D. To prevent students from learning at school.

3.The underlined word “sufficient” in the last paragraph can be replaced by “______”.

A. popular　　　 B. well-educated

C. well-informed　　　 D. enough

4.It can be inferred that ______.

A. life-long education is the requirement of fast development of education

B. the increased period of school education is a supplement（补充） to life-long learning

C. the education system is failing to keep pace with rapid technology development

D. life-long education is intended for retired workers at home

The desire to sleep late can be almost too much to resist at weekends. This Saturday morning, though, there was something important enough to get me up early. Yawning widely, I got out of bed and put on some old jeans and a T-shirt. After combing the house for work gloves, my dad came up with a pair my mother used for gardening and took them along.

We hopped(跳) in the car and headed into Boston. Guided by my directions, Dad was somehow-able to get us to our destination: a row of two-story houses. They were in the process of being built,mostly by volunteers like us.

After grabbing a huge leather tool belt, I met the people I would be working with. Virginia, James and Wilbur were all more than twice my age but treated me like a peer(同龄人). We got to work nailing the frames of walls. By lunch break I had hit what seemed like every tough spot in the whole house, and pried(撬起) countless bent nails. The rest of the day went by quickly as I gained efficiency with my hammer. Soon it was time to pack up.

As l was leaving, a woman came into the house. She saw the progress we'd made upstairs and started looking around the rooms. Then I realized who the woman was-her family would be living in the house. As she walked through each room, I could see her planning where furniture would go.

Even though I had only been there one short day out of weeks of construction. I felt a great sense of accomplishment. When these houses finished, six families would have nice homes.

Thanks go to Habitat for Humanity for giving me such an opportunity to make a difference in others' lives. Habitat for Humanity is an international organization. Local information can be found by visiting www: habitat. org. You are welcome to join and be part of the change you want to see in your community.
