After that I walked up to him, put the folded money into his hand so that he wouldnt feel uncomfortable, and held his hand for a second or two. We didnt say anything but just looked at each other. When he was leaving, he said to me, “God bless you, Ms!” “Wait a minute,” I said. I took a business card from my bag and gave it to him, “Try to see Mrs Brown. Maybe she can help you with your leg.” He left without saying anything. But I saw something bright in his eyes. Well, I could not tell you how good I felt to have helped him.

In order to share, your child needs to understand that others have needs and wants too. This happens developmentally when children begin to see that they are not the center of the universe, but one of many planets and stars that work together to make up the universe! Here are simple ways to start teaching your preschoolers about sharing: Show kids your sharing. It sounds simple, but sometimes we forget that our children learn best from the model we provide. When you are sharing, be sure to explain to your child what you are doing and why; if not, he may have no idea what is happening. Reward sharing. When your child shares a toy with a child or friend, commendhim for it, but do remember to choose proper words. Instead of saying “Thank you for being nice to your friend,” you can say, “Thank you for sharing your ball with Kelly. You made her very happy.”During the preschool years, your child is becoming able to understand the pleasure in sharing. But it is not until he sees the benefits of sharing that he will choose to do so. One benefit he can experience is the joy brought by the sharing with his playmate or family member. He will find that it is more fun to share a toy with someone than to have it all to himself. That is because he is developing a sense of self in relationship to others. And by doing so, he is beginning to understand the importance of community.Of course, that doesnt mean that he will always want to share. In fact, many times your young child may not. But through small successful experiences with sharing a toy or a snack, your child can begin to like sharing and keep these wonderful experiences in his mind. ( )69. The author writes this text to .

An 18-year-old student in California has used his knowledge of the device to start his own business. Vincent is the CEO and the founder of TechWorld. His company is kind of like a hospital for iPhones, where he specializes in repairing iPhones. He ran the company when he was in high school.Vincents parents got divorced several years ago. In order to keep his phone, his car and all the things, he had to find different ways to make money. So he made plans for his business. An organization called the Network for TeachingEntrepreneurs(企业家), or NFTE, helped the young man get started. Both he and his mother admitted that he had a hard time developing a business plan. “He was always absent from his classes, which made me very sad and disappointed,” his mother said. However, he kept optimistic about his business. “It was extremely hard for me to find a business to start and run. But once I knew what I wanted to go with, it was really easy and extremely fun,” Vincent said.Before setting up his own company, Vincent worked for an electronics store BestBuy. He said people always came into the store with broken electronic devices. He decided that repairing those devices was what he wanted to do. He not only registered for the NFTE class, but also won the organizations national competition for the best young entrepreneur. Estelle Reyes, the executive director of NFTE in Los Angeles, said, “He has an amazing gift for presenting himself and he always tries his best to realize his dreams.”Vincents business has greatly grown. Now he repairs 10 phones per week. He earns about $1,500 each month. “I noticed and found him on the Internet because I had heard so much about this young person. I wanted him to fix my phone,” Brisa Munoz, one of Vincents satisfied customers, said. TechWorld has another employee, Kacee Wheeler. He said,“Vincent is such an amazing kid, and you always see his wheels turning with ideas every day.” Kacee Wheeler works on the technical part of the business and Vincent deals with finances and planning. Vincent says he wants to continue to grow his business. His biggest goal, he says, has always been to work for himself. ( )73.

Why did Vincent decide to start his own business?A. Because his parents forced him to do so.B. Because he hated the school life.C. Because NFTE asked him to do so.D. Because he needed money to live a better life. ( )75. Why does the writer mention Brisa Munoz?A. To explain that iPhones are hard to repair.B. To prove that starting a business is really hard for a young man.C. To give an example to show that TechWorld is popular.D. To tell us that Brisa Munoz has helped Vincent a lot.( )76.
