15、y will cause a disaster. Several leading educational psychologists(心理学家) say this is one of the biggest mistakes that can cause great problems to children.However, if parents are a little gentler, the child may act successfully especially if the parents can support him. Michael Li is very lucky. He

16、is very fond of music, and his parents help him a lot by taking him to concerts and inviting a teacher to give him personal piano lessons. They even drive him 59 kilometers twice a week for violin lessons. Although Michaels mother knows very little about music, Michaels father plays the piano very w

17、ell. However, he never makes Michael enter music competitions if he is unwilling.Michaels friend, Winston Chen, however, is not so lucky. Although both his parents are successful musicians, they set too high a standard for Winston. They want their son to be as successful as they are, so they enter h

21、ul parents often have unsuccessful children D. the more you help your children, the less they can achieveBCan dogs and cats get along well in the same home? People who are thinking about getting a dog as a friend for their cat are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found that if the

22、 cat is taken back home before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. In two-thirds of the homes cats and dogs have a good relationship.However, it wasnt all sweetness and

23、 light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and the dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression (侵略, 好斗) and fighting were found in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body languages are just different. For example, when a cat turns its head away it means agg

24、ression, while a dog doing the same means submission (顺从).In homes with cats and dogs living in peace, researchers found a surprising behavior. They are learning how to talk each others language.

Once familiar with each others body language, cats and dogs can play together, and enjoy sleeping together on the s

A. We should

28、learn to get along well with others. B. We should know more about animals. C. We should live in peace with animals. D. We should learn more body languages. CMaybe it is true that we do not know what we have got until we lose it, but it is also true that we do not know what we have been missing until

29、 it arrives. Giving someone all your love never means that they will love you back. Do not expect love in return; but if it does not, be glad it grows in yours.It takes an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone. Do not depend on ones appearance, it

30、 may not be true. Do not depend on wealth, even that disappears slowly. Depend on someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug(拥抱) them.Dream

31、what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials(尝试) to make you strong, enough sadness to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy.Always put yourself in others shoes.
