As those with experience know, children with special needs can require extra help during the holidays. 1. Here are some suggestions that may help.

Allow the child to have as much of their routine as possible. A treasured stuffed animal by the child’s side can go a long way towards helping him or her feel centred in the busy holiday rush. A beloved blanket can help a child who feels upset feel secure.

Parents like their children to look good, but remember that sensory issues can cause a child discomfort, which can lead to breakdown. 2. Soft cottons and cottons are comfortable. Avoid nylon and netting. Not all children with special needs have a problem with these, but if yours does, sacrifice fashion for peace of mind for you both.

Limit holiday parties and try to keep to regular bedtime. Have familiar foods available for the child, amid all the other holiday choices. If entertaining at home, help the child go 3. Another alternative is to set out toys in a common area that are okay to share.

4. Crowds and noise can be bad for kids with autism. If you must shop, stick to smaller stores away from the large metropolitan malls.

Consider reducing the amount of presents. Kids don’t care as much as parents do about the number of gifts. For the child with autism, who may have a limited attention span, set him up for success. 5.

The holidays can be a magical time. With a bit of planning, the holidays can be memorable and successful for your child.

A. These are toys no one else can use.

B. Concentrate on the fun of the gifts rather than the quantity.

C. Compromise with clothes that look good, but feel good, too.

D. The more toys you have, the happier they will feel.

E. The lack of routine, novel situations and unexpected guests can throw off their peace.

F. Pay special attention to what your child likes most

G. Try to avoid taking the child for shopping during this time of year.

Stop wasting your time thinking of reasons for your failures and shortcomings. Instead,realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born. Only you have the power to make those seeds grow.

The seeds,and the power to grow them,are contained in the most awesome machine ever created: the human mind. Success is a choice and not a chance. You were born a winner. You were born rich. You can be a success if only you make the right choice.

You cannot be successful without first developing your self-esteem (自信心). Your level of self-esteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself,and thus over your life. People with low self-esteem are people who do not believe that they have any power,or responsibility for their lives. They are always victims. They are leaves tossed (搖擺) by the winds of chance blown about with any sudden change in the weather.

You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe you are responsible for everything that happens in your life. Failures think that everything happens by accident and chance. Successful people realize that they are responsible.

Everything happens as a result of something. If we can identify the cause,we can control the effect. We are responsible for what we choose to think and believe. One generally rises to the level that one expects. We are responsible for setting our expectations. Our success is dependent upon our level of confidence.

If you associate with positive-thinking people,you are definitely going to achieve success. On the contrary,the opposite happens. We are responsible for finding,planting,and nurturing (培育) the seeds that contain future victory,born from setbacks (挫折).

In short,in all areas of your life,whether they are financial,physical,emotional,or spiritual,you are responsible. Once you recognize this,accept it,and firmly believe it. You are on the road to success.

1.People with low self-esteem are compared to leaves because they ______.

A. can’t exercise control over themselves

B. are easily affected by windy weather

C. don’t have the power to face their fate

D. are ready to change their minds

2.Losers would think that ______.

A. success is the result of hard work

B. working hard will lead to success

C. they fail only because of bad luck

D. they don’t make efforts to succeed

3.It can be inferred from the fifth paragraph that ______.

A. setting our expectations is essential before taking action

B. knowing cause and effect is the key to future success

C. thoughts and beliefs are the result of creative mind

D. whether we will succeed depends on our attitudes

4.The last paragraph serves as ______.

A. the proof of the author’s points

B. the conclusion of the argument

C. an introduction to another topic

D. a comparison between two views

The Enigma (謎)of Beauty

The search for beauty spans centuries and continents.Paintings of Egyptians dating back over 4,000 years show both men and women painting their nails and wearing makeup.In 18th-century France,wealthy noblemen wore large wigs (假發(fā))of long,white hair to make themselves attractive.Today,people continue to devote a lot of time and money to their appearance.

There is at least one good reason for the desire to be attractive:beauty is power.Studies suggest that good-looking people make more money,get called on more often in class,and are regarded as friendlier.

But what exactly is beauty? It's difficult to describe it clearly,and yet we know it when we see it.And our awareness of it may start at a very early age.In one set of studies,six-month-old babies were shown a series of photographs.The faces on the pictures had been rated for attractiveness by a group of college students.In the studies,the babies spent more time looking at the attractive faces than the unattractive ones.

The idea that even babies can judge appearance makes perfect sense to many researchers.In studies by psychologists,men consistently showed a preference for women with larger eyes,fuller lips,and a smaller nose and chin while women prefer men with large shoulders and a narrow waist.According to scientists,the mind unconsciously tells men and women that these traits —the full lips,clear skin,strong shoulders —equal health and genetic well-being.

Not everyone thinks the same way,however." Our hardwiredness can be changed by all sorts of expectations —mostly cultural," says C. Loring Brace,an anthropologist at the University of Michigan.What is considered attractive in one culture might not be in another.Look at most Western fashion magazines:the women on the pages are thin.But is this "perfect" body type for women worldwide? Scientists' answer is no; what is considered beautiful is subjective and varies around the worlD. They found native peoples in southeast Peru preferred shapes regarded overweight in Western cultures.

For better or worse,beauty plays a role in our lives.But it is extremely difficult to describe exactly what makes one person attractive to another.Although there do seem to be certain physical traits considered universally appealing,it is also true that beauty does not always keep to a single,uniform standarD. Beauty really is,as the saying goes,in the eye of the beholder.

1.People's ideas about beauty ________.

A. have existed since ancient times

B. can be easily described

C. have little influence on a person's success

D. are based upon strict criteria

2.In Paragraph 3,the babies in the study ________.

A. were rated for their appearance

B. were entered in a beauty contest

C. were shown photos of a group of college students

D. were able to tell attractive faces from unattractive ones

3.The underlined word “traits” in Paragraph 4 probably means ________.

A. qualities

B. measurements

C. judgments

D. standards

4.We can learn from the passage that ________.

A. the ideas of beauty vary as people grow up

B. the search for beauty is rooted in lack of confidence

C. the standards for beauty are based on scientific researches

D. the understanding of beauty depends on cultural backgrounds
