educational organizations arts without it we feel worthless A teen often looks upon his or her friends sa models I don t know who I am but I know who he is I ll be like him is the underlying thought Parents also become such mirrors teens want that mirror to reflect back to them the vividness and clarity they themselves do not feel Arguments with parents can often be understood in this context While those common teenager parent quarrels which explode every few days are often over small things such as homework housework and respect a teenager s real focus is on a parent s recognition of his maturity and capability and human value No you can t go out tonight implies that a parent you got your keys or Do you have enough money for the bus are questions that can be easily accepted if asked by a concerned friend but awaken a teen s own doubts if asked by a parent Feeling the need to distinguish himself from the kid who can t remember to take his lunch his keys or his money he blames the

gifts of the land as had been foretold by Quetzalcoatl He has great powers He has made us rich We have not known hunger since he arrived Where he places his eyes and hands everything is abundance and beauty They were happy they were proud At that time they all still worked at the jobs Quetzalcoatl assigned to them Tula grew People came from far away to admire its growth Many asked permission to settle down and enjoy its abundance which was distributed according to the needs of the people Topiltzin was in charge of distributing the riches under the orders of Quetzalcoatl so that no one would want They were all content because they all had more than they had ever had Many worked They were busy all day Quetzalcoatl had spent six years among the Toltecs The house for the heart of the people was almost finished and the granaries full when he decided There is prosperity 繁荣 and abundance in all the land Let us extend it beyond the mountains We shall go to the land of the Chichimecs It is time to take my mission to them I shall make them better I shall make them live together I shall gather them in towns I shall teach them to till the land and to build their homes Let us leave them in their land as they are now Topiltzin argued They are savages 野蛮 人 their life is violent and disorderly They move freely like the wind in the mountains and the plains with nothing to keep them Leave them where they are There is much that we must do in our own land I do not belong to this land alone They are all my brothers I am to give all of them I shall look for them I shall take the gods of Tula to them Quetzalcoatl said Think carefully about what we shall do You do not know them They do not understand words They are like savage animals like jaguars Topiltzin insisted 高三英语试卷 第 9 页 I shall go said Quetzalcoatl My life must be accomplished This time you will not accompany me because you do not have the will to go I shall leave soon with some of my followers Do not go with so few people I shall accompany you with skillful warriors who are used to killing Chichimecs and avoiding their traps Topiltzin insisted I am not going there with violence I shall go to them as I came here to take them the gifts of life and the doctrine of sin and redemption 原罪与救赎 You have not spoken of sin and redemption for a long time Tattle remarked He had been listening attentively to the dialogue and was then close to seventeen years of age You have not come near the Tree you planted in the square in a long time The Tree has no shoots it has not grown it looks sad and lonely During this time

of things to do to be a more productive promotable mindful you name it leader But these lists seldom work What if we didn t think of self improvement as work What if we thought of it as play specifically as playing with our sense of self Traditionally people work on themselves committed to doing everything in their power to change their leadership style You set your goals and objectives you are mindful of your time and seek efficient solutions You re not going to deviate 偏离 from the straight and narrow You focus on what you should do especially as others see it as opposed to what you want to do It s all very serious and not whole of fun There is one right answer Success or failure is the outcome We judge ourselves In contrast no matter what you re up to when you re in play mode your primary drivers are enjoyment and discovery instead of goals and objectives You re curious You lose track of time Like in all forms if play the journey becomes more important than a pre set destination Much research shows how play develops creativity and innovation Play with your own idea of yourself is similar to playing with future possibilities So we stop evaluating today s self against unachievable ideal of leadership that doesn t really exist We also stop trying to will ourselves to commit to becoming something we are not even sure we want to be what we call the feared self which is composed of images negative role models And we shift direction from submitting to what other people want us to be to becoming more self authoring As a result when you play you re more creative and more open to what you might learn about yourself Unfortunately we don t often get or give ourselves permission to play with our sense of self In life we equate playfulness with the person who dips into a great variety of possibilities never committing to any We find inconsistency distasteful so we exclude options that seem too far off from today s authentic self without ever giving them a try This kills the discontinuous growth that only comes when we surprise ourselves Psychoanalyst Adam Phillips once said people tend to play only with serious things madness disaster other people Playing with your self is a serious effort because who we might become is not knowable or predictable at the start That s why it s as dangerous as it is necessary for growth Lead in People want to improve their 71 People can apply work mode or play mode In work mode one is 73 and sticks to his route one cares about others 74 of his performance one judges himself with one standard success or failure 72 between the two mode In play method the 75 outweighs the outcome playfulness allows people to 76 with various approaches playfulness helps people obtain 77 results The 78 with application of play mode We usually regard playfulness as equal to non professional 79 80 danger playfulness is a must for our self growth 高三英语试卷 第 11 页 第五部分 读写任务 满分 25 分 How many times have you heard the
