Teachers and studentsBFrom my earlier memory of Mother it somehow seemed quite natural to think of her as different, nor of everyday things as Father was. In

7、those days he was a young-looking man. He did not hesitate to make friends with children as soon as they were able to talk to him and laugh at his stories. Mother was older than he was. She must have been a woman of nearly forty, but she seemed even older. She changed little for a long time, showing

8、 no indication of growing old at all until, towards the end of her life, she suddenly became an old lady.I was always inquisitive about Mothers age. She never had birthdays like other people, nor did anyone else in our family. No candles were ever lit or cakes made or presents given in our house. To

9、 my friends in the street who talked delightfully about their birthday parties, I would repeat my mothers words that such celebrations were only foolish.“Nothing but deception,” she would say. “As though life can be marked by birthdays. Its deeds, not years, that matter.”Although I often repeated he

10、r words and even prided myself on not having birthdays, I once could not help asking Mother when she was born.“I was born. Im alive as you can see, so what more do you want to know?” she replied, so sharply that I never asked her about her age again.In so many other ways Mother was different. Wherea

11、s all the rest of the women I knew in the neighboring hoses took pride in their housewifely abilities, their new furniture, the neat appearance of their homes, Mother regarded all those things as of little importance. Our house always looked as if we had just moved in or were about to move out.24. H

14、ence. There are some other important ways we shape our kids-particularly by giving instructions and commands in a negative or positive choice of words. For example, we can say to a child “Dont run into traffic!” pr “Stay on the footpath close to me.” In using the latter, you will be helping your kid

15、s to think and act positively, and to feel competent in a wide range of situations, because they know what to do, and arent scaring themselves about what not to do.Why does such a small thing make a difference? It is all in the way the human mind works. What we think, we automatically rehearse (预演).

16、 For example, if someone offered you a million dollars not to think of a blue monkey for two minutes, you wouldnt be able to do it. When a child is told “Dont fall off the tree,” he will think of two things: “dont” and “fall off the tree”. That is, he will automatically create the picture of falling

17、 off the tree in his mind. A child who is vividly imagining falling off the tree is much more likely to fall off. So it is far better to use “Hold on to the tree carefully.”Clear, positive instructions help kids to understand the right way to do things. Kids do not always know how to be safe, or how

18、 to react to the warning of the danger in negative words. So parents should make their commands positive. “Sam, hold on firm to the side of the boat” is much more useful than “Dont you dare to fall out of the boat?” or worse still “How do you think Ill feel if you drown?” The changes are small but t

19、he difference is obvious.Children learn how to guide and organize themselves from the way we guide them with our words, so it pays to be positive.28.
