Half a year before graduation from college, my son began to seek a job.         the financial crisis, fewer companies would like to         new staff. My son targeted a company that was        to hire only one person        there were more than twenty people filling their resumes.

After the interview, there would only be 3 who could enter the final round, which would later       one person to be employed. Everything seemed to go quite        and my son passed the first round and entered the final round in a week.

On the day of the final interview, my son and other two         arrived at the interview place on time,           the test. Unexpectedly, the interview was unbelievably        . The interviewer only said to them,

“All of you are very super. Please go home and wait for our       . We will tell you the        in 3 days. Good luck to all of you!” On the morning of the third day, my son received a text from the company shortly after breakfast that he was not employed. We all felt very        .

In nightfall that day, my son suddenly told me         on the phone, “Dad, I have been employed!” Greatly surprised, I could not wait to ask him, “What’s the whole        ?” My son told me that he received another text saying that he was employed. Actually the first text sent to my son was also         of the test in the interview. Three men received the same text this morning and only my son’s         was “Thank you” while the others said “Goodbye”.

Only then did I know that my son’s “hope”        in that way. That is, when you feel disappointed, do not         to say “thank you” to the one who disappoints you. Saying “thank you” shows respect for others’ work and shows your grand        . Therefore, while under the same condition, you will get the upper hand in terms of         compared with others!

Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.

    TV and computer games are blamed for everything from turning our children into a generation of couch potatoes to increased anti-social behavior.Dr .Aric Sigman an associate fellow of the British Psychological Society, believes watching TV too much Puts children at increased risk of health problems, including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and obesity.

       If you’re worried about how long your child spends in front of a screen.It may be time to review and modify your family’s screen habits.

       Research firm BMRB estimates young people in the UK aged between 11 and 15 spend ,on average, 52 hours a week in front of a screen.

       In April 2007, he told MPs children under three shouldn’t be exposed to TV at all.

       He recommended children aged between three and seven should watch no more than  30 minutes to an hour of TV a day, seven to 12-yea-olds should be limited to one hour, and 12 to 15-year-olds should watch a maximum of one and a half hours.

       Dr .Sigman wants the Government to publish recommended daily guidelines for TV watching, as it does for salt intake.

       Both women, who have five children between them, acknowledge that cutting down screen time can be tough. “It needs a bit of effort, but small steps can make a difference so everyone in the family is happier,” says Laura O’ Flynn.

       Keep TVs and computers out of children’s bedrooms.Watching TV before going to sleep doesn’t help children settle.Instead, read a bedtime story or encourage them to read for themselves.Having and who they’re talking to online.

       Good viewing habits start young.It’s difficult to impose rules on teenagers who already watch excessive TV or play computer games for hours on end.

       Help children plan their viewing with a TV guide.This will cut down screen time and help them to become more selective about what they watch.

       Don’t put on the TV as background noise.

       Set viewing limits.Decide with your children how much time they can spend watching TV or playing computer games.Think in 30-minute units.Shorter periods make it easier to switch off and cut down on screen consumption.

       Lead by example.Don’t have a TV in your own bedroom and don’t spend hours watching TV or online.

       Do some activities, such as playing board games or going out on a bike ride to distract their attention from TV or computers.Laura O’ Flynn says: “we went into lots of schools and the children told us they wished their parents would take them to the park and play with them .”

       Before rushing to throw out your TV set or computer, it’s worth remembering much of the current research focuses on excessive TV watching.Watching TV as a family can be a shared social event and , if you plan your viewing and do something different to look forward to together rather than having the TV on all the time ,it’s all about striking right balance.
