The Hunan Satellite TV(HNTV) show Where are we going,Dad? is a big hit.Many famous stars brought their children to a strange village alone,and they had to spend 72 hours with their children there.The program fully showed us a modern version of the “how to be a good father”.As the young parents today are too busy to take care of their children,this new form of “Lost on the way” played by nanny(保姆式的) daddy and cute kids triggered(觸發(fā))a lot of people’s emotional resonance(共鳴).Both the kids and their parents will find that their hearts are being drawn closer.But this kind of feeling has just proved that there is a big spiritual barrier between the modern parents and children.

The TV shows like Children are hard to support!,Where are we going,Dad?,Hot Mom and Cute Kids are becoming more and more popular.All of these show the new parents’ confusion in children’s education and the appeal for the balance between career and family.

In real life,on the one hand,the young parents feel helpless because they are too busy to accompany their children under the pressures of work and life;on the other hand,they continue to do so.The data collected by HNTV show that nearly two-thirds of their audience are female,among whom 36% are aged from 25 to 34.We can imagine such a scene that one evening a young mother is watching the show with her young children,while her husband is still at work or trapped in socializing,or maybe is just playing computer games in the bedroom.The story of a child without the company of father is still going on.In fact,it is sometimes the same to mothers.In a modern family,it is often the old who take the responsibility for raising a child.The participation of mother in the children’s education is also very low.

It is just this kind of confusion where the parents have gone in the modern family education,and where the parents will guide their children to go that Where are we going,Dad?shows us.If a child wants to grow up healthily and safely with independent personality and free spirit,it is very important for him or her to follow the parents who serve as their first teacher.Maybe this is the real reason why such kind of TV programs could get hot.The truth is that children will go where their parents go,and society will go where the children go.

Encouragement and praise can come in many forms,and some ways are better for children’s development than others.Researchers at the University of Chicago who studied mother-child interactions over the course found that the type of praise children receive affects their attitudes toward challenges later in life.Specifically,praise coming with feedback about their behavior that kids made helped them to deal better with difficult experiences five years later,compared with compliments that focused more on the child himself,like “You’re a good boy.”

“This is something we suspected would be the case based on a lot of experimental research,and it’s exciting to see it plays out in the real world,” says Elizabeth,a professor of psychology at Temple University,who led the study.“Praising the efforts,actions and work of the kid is going to be more beneficial in their long-term persistence and work hard in the future.”

Such “process praise” includes comments such as “You worked really hard” or “You’re doing a great job,” which emphasize the child’s actions.“Person praise” includes comments like “You’re so smart” or “You’re so good,” which focus on a child’s inherent qualities.These distinctions aren’t new in the field of psychology,but exactly how they affect children’s development over the years hasn’t been clear.

As part of the study,researchers visited the homes of more than 50 toddlers between the age of 1 and 3 years old,and filmed their daily interactions with their parents during multiple 90-minute sessions.Five years later,the researchers followed up with the families,using questionnaires to measure the children’s attitudes toward challenges and problem solving.The children who grew up with more process praise were more open to challenge,and could identify more ways of overcoming difficult problems.While person praise didn’t seem to have any negative effect on the children,process praise teaches children that their talents and abilities can be developed and improved,while person praise sends the message that their abilities are fixed and therefore not easily changed.

1.Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A.Praising inspires kids to form good personal quality.

B.Praising kids is tested to be effective in the long run.

C.The process of praising kids experiment is suspected.

D.The praising experiment is carried out in real situation.

3.From the last paragraph we can learn that .

A.kids should not be praised too frequently

B.different kids should be praised differently

C.process praise is less effective as we expected

D.kids with process praise tend to be more creative

4.What is the main purpose of the passage?

A.To introduce a better way to praise kids.

B.To compare two different praising ways.

C.To predict the result of process praising.

D.To report the way of praising experiment.

When you’ve seen a couple fighting or having a pity argument,what is the first thing that comes into your mind?Probably you think that you will never allow arguments to set in your relationship,especially when you get married,or will never think to start one,but arguments seem to come naturally.

You argue about the brand of coffee,or what to eat at lunch,who will do the dishes,etc.Sometimes,more than that,but regardless of your reasons for the argument(or fight),fixing a troubled relationship and having a solution is very important.

Our partners are our most valuable fortunes.Companions provide a listening ear for our troubles,support for our dreams,and a safety net when we fall.They give us love,even when we are unlovable.They are and must be our friends.

Inevitably,though,sometimes we go through troubled periods and a solution should be sought through the following steps:

Address the situation.Admit to your partner that something is wrong and needs to be fixed.

Determine the problem.Together,discuss what problems we are facing.Be honest and let your honesty be in its proper place.Remember,you are talking to your partner,another half of yourself.

Apologize.We accept responsibility for our actions and seek forgiveness.

Refuse to blame.In addition,we must avoid defending ourselves.There could be a temptation to argue over who did what;however,the goal is not proving who is right but saving the relationship.

Begin repairs.Ask,“What can I do to rebuild our relationship?” The key here is to do willingly whatever is requested.

Commit to rebuilding.Immediately start investing your time,energy,and love in restoring the relationship.In order to have a good relationship with a partner who accepts and loves us,we must be willing to pay the high price of patching up the broken relationship.Walking away might seem easier,but in the long run,we would lose a valuable treasure.
