Custom ToursBWhen my now 19-year-old daughter Shanna was in Grade 3, all of Mrs. Mathews students were given a small pot with a bean seed to plant. Green string beans are p

10、retty strong and the perfect seed to use to make young children grow plants.Once the bean plants had flowered, their teacher allowed the kids to carefully transport it from school to home. Once home, Shanna settled it on a sunny south window sill.Shannas sisters were jealous and even our cat looked

11、interested which should have been a warning to me because when I woke up the next morning, I saw that the bean plant had been unkindly knocked off the window sill. The plant, it seemed, was a goner.As I gently began to explain that the bean plant had to be put in the compost （混合肥料），her reaction was

12、not what I expected. She got the first aid kit from the bathroom and there was a deep belief on her face that the sad-looking, near?-dead bean plant would live, thrive and even produce food!Days later, to my surprise, the bean plant was standing tall and looking lively. It was also amazing to see th

13、at the one and only bean, had become fleshy almost completely masking the claw marks that had scarred it. This time we built a castle of heavy books to keep it safe until our day of reward.In my work as a youth motivator, I am brought together with kids and teens that all desperately need people to

14、believe in them. Now, more than ever, no matter what I have been told about a child or a teen and their behavior, I see everyone, no exceptions, with the same eyes and heart that my daughter used on her broken, beaten up bean plant.Why does Mrs. Mathew make her students plant beans?To produce health

16、f Shanna.What was the author surprised at?The plant bore many beans.The plant recovered from its damage.The cat left some claw marks on the plant.Shanna knew how to save a broken bean plant.What lesson did the author learn from her daughter?A child grows like a bean plant.A child is easy to believe

17、in others.A child needs to be well taken care of.A child with bad behavior can become good.CAttitudes toward new technologies often fall along generational lines. That is, generally, younger people tend to outnumber older people on the front end of a technological shift.It is not always the case, th

18、ough. When you look at attitudes toward driverless cars, there doesnt seem to be a clear generational divide. The public overall is split on whether they like to use a driverless car. In a study last year, of all people surveyed, 48 percent said they wanted to ride in one, while 50 percent did not.T

19、he fact that attitudes toward self-driving cars appear to be so steady across generations suggests how transformative the shift to driverless cars could be. Not everyone wants a driverless car now and no one can get one yet but among those who are open to them, every age group is similarly engaged.A

20、ctually, this isnt surprising. Whereas older generations are sometime reluctant （不情愿的）to adopt new technologies, driverless cars promise real value to these age groups in particular. Older adults, especially those with limited mobility or difficulty driving on their own, are one of the classic use-c

21、ases for driverless cars.This is especially interesting when you consider that younger people are generally more interested in travel-related technologies than older ones.When it comes to driverless cars, differences in attitude are more pronounced based on factors not related to age. College gradua

22、tes, for example, are particularly interested in driverless cars compared with those who have less education, 59 percent of college graduates said they would like to use a driverless car compared with 38 percent of those with a high-school diploma or less.Where a person lives matters, too. More peop

23、le who live in cities and suburbs said they wanted to try driverless cars than those who lived in rural areas.While theres a reason to believe that interest in self-driving cars is going up across the board, a persons age will have little to do with how self-driving cars can be becoming mainstream.

28、s.How is it done? Here are several skills that good talkers have. If you follow these skills, theyll help you put people at their ease, and make friends with them quickly.First of all, good talkers ask questions. Almost anyone, no matter how shy he or she is, will answer a question. One well-known b

29、usinesswoman says, “At business lunches, I always ask people what they did that morning. Its a common question, but it will get things going.” From there you can move on to other matterssometimes to really personal questions. And how he answers will let you know how far you can go.Second, once good

30、talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers. This point seems clear, but it isnt. Your questions should have a point and help to tell what kind of person you are talking to. And to find out, you really have to listen carefully.Real listening at least means some things. First, it means n

31、ot changing the subject of a conversation. If someone sticks to one topic, you can take it as a fact that hes really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to tones of voice. If the voice sounds dull, then, ifs time for you to change the subject.Finally, good ta

32、lkers know well how to deal with the occasion of parting. If youre saying goodbye, you may give him a firm handshake and say, “Ive really enjoyed meeting you. If you want to see that person again, dont keep it secret. Let people know what you feel, and after that they may feel as if theyve known you
