The good news: Your son or daughter has graduated from college. The potentially bad news: Due to job losses, the pressure of student loan debt or some other factors, he/she has to return home, living with you.
A recent survey has found that almost one-in-five grown children (aged 18-34) now live with their parents. And of those children, about one-third say they used to live independently elsewhere before returning home. The phenomenon has become known as “The Boomerang Generation”(回巢族).
Don’t worry. From a positive angle, you may find you can actually do a lot to keep harmony in the household and make this tricky time manageable, even beneficial for all involved. When your child comes back, he/she can be a source of social support. He/She can help out economically. And you really get a chance to establish a different relationship—as adults.
It’s important to know how long this kind of situation will last. This can be discussed with your family members, but it’s essential that everyone understands the arrangement. It’s also important to set a goal for your graduated child to help him/her find a suitable job.
Everyone should keep the household rules. College kids are used to doing what they want. So let your child know your expectations for household chores, overnight guests, noise and so on. You can list something that you can never accept.
It is absolutely OK for parents to charge rent(房租). If a grown child is able to pay rent, he/she should be asked to pay some. This can also include electricity, water or other benefits he/she is enjoying. If you feel it uncomfortable to take money from your child, you can collect rent money and return it to him/ her when he/she leaves, to help him/her in his/her new home.
Avoid falling into traditional parent-child roles. This is difficult, but parents should not do traditional things such as lending your grown child money or doing his/her laundry or cleaning any more. Your child has grown up; he/she is no longer a teenager.
At last, parents should not get overly involved in your child’s lives and personal relationships. Parents need to respect your child’s growing independence. Creating a dictatorship (独裁) doesn’t help him/ her grow as a self-reliant individual.

A problem	Your child moves back home after graduation,       to live on his/her own.
why your child comes back home	·Job losses ·The pressure of student loan debt ·Other factors
Present situation	·Almost       percent grown children now live with their parents. ·The phenomenon has become known as “The Boomerang Generation”.
to parents	Establish a deadline	·Let everyone understand the arrangement. ·Set a job-hunting        for your child.
Clarify house rules	·Set         for household chores, overnight guests, noise and so on. ·List something your child should never do.
rent	·Ask your child to pay rent. ·You can collect rent money and         it toyour child when he/she leaves.
Avoid falling into old roles	·Don’t lend money to your child. ·Don’t do        for him/her.
	Respect your child’s        and independence.

Frederick M. Hess is the director of education policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute, which is a nonprofit organization that conducts research on many public issues. He says that a long summer vacation doesn’t make sense in today’s world.
Can American students afford to take a summer vacation? In a summer vacation, millions of kids spend valuable time sending messages, watching TV, playing video games and doing shopping in the mall. They will also be putting their academic futures at risk.
Summer vacation once made sense in the past when you didn’t need an education to get a good job. But now things have changed. For today’s students, academic skills are important to students’ future success, but such skills are affected in the summertime. Many nations don’t give kids an American-style summer vacation. They offer no more than seven consecutive(连续的) weeks of vacation. Most American school districts offer up to thirteen weeks. To compete in the global marketplace, Americans must be prepared to go up against international competitors.
Summer vacation also causes challenges for today’s families. In the 1960s, more than 60% of families had a stay-at-home Mom. Now two-thirds of American children live in households where every adult works. For these families, summer vacation can be more burden than break. Someone must watch the kids.
But the biggest problem may be how summer vacation hurts academic achievement. Researchers have found that disadvantaged students lose significant ground in the summertime.
A longer school year does not have to be an invitation to hard boring work. Rather, it should allow time-pressed teachers to conduct richer and more imaginative lessons. Schools would have more time to devote to athletics, languages, music and the arts. Summer vacation can be a grand thing. But in the 21st century, it may also be outdated.
Title:  Summer Vacation

Theme	A long summer vacation isn’t      in today’s world.
Basic Information	length	13 weeks in most American schools
Students’	·Sending messages and watching TV ·Playing video games ·Doing shopping
Disadvantages	·    student’s academic skills and putting academic futures at risk. ·Being a      to families for they have to watch kids. ·Hurting students’ academic achievement and resulting in 76 significant ground.
Suggestion	A longer school year does not have to      to hard boring work. Richer and more imaginative lessons should be      , such as athletics, languages, music and the arts.
	Though being a ground thing, summer vacation might be out of      in the 21^st century.

The history of Mother’s Day is pretty interesting. An early form of the idea may have originated in the 17th century England as “Mothering Sunday”, on which the servants, who generally lived with their employers, were encouraged to return home and honor their mothers. A special cake, called the mothering cake, was often brought along to provide a festive touch.
Mother’s Day, first suggested in 1872, is linked to the anti-war efforts of Julia Ward Howe. She hoped a day set aside to honour mothers would be a way to promote peace. In 1907 a woman by the name of Anna Jarvis took Howe’s idea a step further and began a campaign for a nationally recognized Mother’s Day.
After considerable effort, Anna Jarvis finally saw her dream realized. On May 9, 1914, President Woodrow Wilson made the official proclamation(宣布) that Mother’s Day would be an annual holiday on the second Sunday in May. And so it is to this day.
For those of us whose lives have been shaped and nurtured by loving moms, the day is a wonderful opportunity to say thank you. Unfortunately not everyone’s experience of family life evokes （唤起）gratitude. In the complicated maze of human existence, not all mother/child relationships are positive. Evoking the image of Mom for some can be an invitation down a painful memory lane.
There is also the reality that not all mothering figures are actually mothers. Hundreds of thousands of children have been raised by foster moms （养母）who never had children of their own, but who gave maternal （母亲般的）love to children that needed them. Aunts and older sisters have filled this role as well.
All I am saying is that it is complicated. We might wish that every family had an ideal balance of motherly and fatherly love, but that is simply not the case. There are many different ways that mothering happens. We may as well celebrate the ups and downs of our common life. For those whose childhood evokes praise and thanksgiving, let us give thanks. But for those whose childhood was marked by fear and loss, then let us offer healing.
In our world, there’s no reason why all experiences of family life, good and bad, can’t be included.

Studying Abroad
Nowadays, studying abroad gains popularity in China. Many rich parents would rather send their children abroad to receive education than let them be educated in China.
As every coin has two sides, studying abroad is not an exception(例外). There are advantages for people to attend school abroad. In the first place, he can use the foreign language in his daily life so that his ability in the second language may be greatly improved, as it is obvious that there is no better chance to improve second language than living in the country where it is spoken. While studying in a foreign country, he will most likely meet many others from overseas and it is possible to make friends from all over the world. This is not only exciting on the social level, but could lead to important overseas contacts in his career as well. He can get familiar with the latest knowledge in science and make use of the firstrate facilities(设备) available. In this way, there is every chance that he is able to widen his horizons (眼界) and broaden his mind.
Of course, attending schools abroad may bring about a series of problems. The most serious problem is language barrier(障碍). Most of the students who go abroad don’t have enough skills in the language spoken there. As a result, on arriving there, they will find it difficult to understand what the teachers say. Besides, for lack of knowledge of the customs of the local people, they may constantly run into trouble in dealing with various situations.
Therefore, given an opportunity to attend a school abroad, one must consider both sides of the factors carefully before making up his mind.

How to Prevent from Altitude Sickness
Being a paradise to many tourists, Tibet has been the dreaming wonderland and attracted tourists all over the world. And now as tourism in Tibet enters the peak season, more and more visitors are longing to travel to the mysterious highland. Meanwhile, they are worried about the altitude sickness (高原反应) which is most likely to experience in Tibet. Experts advised that tourists to Tibet should have a scientific and better understanding of the disease.
Altitude sickness, also known as acute high altitude disease (AHAD), is a common physiological reaction caused by acute exposure to low oxygen content and air pressure and dry weather when people getting up to a place with a certain altitude.
Acute altitude reaction usually occurs within hours or days after a person goes up to a highland above 2, 700 meters above sea level from a region with a lower altitude. It is believed that most visitors to Tibet will be certain to suffer from at least some symptoms which will generally disappear through acclimatization in several hours to several days. It presents as a collection of nonspecific symptoms including headache, shortness of breath, oppressed feeling in the chest, lack of appetite, fever, dizziness, fatigue or weakness, etc. Some will even take the chance to come down with drowsiness, insomnia, adrenaline surge, nosebleed and so on.
However, experts point out that human bodies can adapt to the surroundings (适应环境) in a gradual way. Therefore, altitude sickness is not that scary.
To prevent the occurrence of altitude sickness, visitors should have a proper preparation in advance and avoid heavy physical activities before they go to Tibet. After getting off the plane, they should try not to carry heavy things, run or avoid outdoor activities as much as possible.
Nifedipinum, Nuodikang Capsule and Suoluomabao Capsule (胶囊), which is also known as Hongjingtian Capsule, may help some people prevent the occurrence of altitude sickness when they are taken three days before people arrive in a highland.
Visitors with a severe cold, a high fever, acute or chronic pulmonary diseases, severe cardiovascular diseases, women in late pregnant and kids under three years old should avoid traveling to regions with a high altitude.
Proper rest, considerate preparation, and enough oxygen uptake can all help to relieve altitude sickness. If a patient does not show any sign of improvements after three to four hours, he/she should go to a hospital for medical treatment.

The importance of career development programs
Career development is a long and continuous process in a person’s life. Efficient career planning has assumed great importance in today’s competitive job market. Since the natural abilities and interest of people are different, career planning is done through various practical ways. In this article, we shall know about the importance of career development programs.
To employees:
Identifying our strengths and weaknesses is a major objective of career enhancing. Our career can move in the right direction only if we make a concentrated effort of fully exploiting our strengths and working on our weaknesses. A person understands his worth and gets a feeling of self-awareness with the help of career development. Thus career enhancement affects the current as well as future performance of people.
Career development programs aid in increasing flexibility of employees. Because of globalization and international expansion policies of companies, employees may have to work in different places across the world. So, adapting to the changing conditions and expectations is really a big challenge before employees. In the absence of career development programs, employees may witness a reduced productivity which affect their career growth and advancement.
Career planning programs help workers work with people belonging to different nationalities and religions. So, indirectly, they are responsible for the efficient working of teams in a workplace.
To employers:
Career planning is helpful for employees as well as employers. It helps in raising employees’ productivity and commitments towards their organization. Career initiatives (为解决困难而采取的行动) taken by senior management officers help a lot in retaining (保住) talented employees who can be a valuable person for the organization in the long term. Career planning also helps in cost saving as training existing people is cheaper than hiring new talent continuously. It guarantees an employee’s job security and provides chances of further promotion in the company. Employees can contribute greatly if they get maximum job satisfaction from their workplace. Career development programs can certainly help them to enjoy their work more and do it with passion.
In short, career development means improving the quality of life by achieving our dreams and aspirations through planned efforts.

Society is a web of relationships, requiring all parties to work together to create something good. What makes society work best are effective relationships that are based on mutual(相互的) understanding. If you understand what people want and why they want it, you can usually find a way to make progress together.
High-quality relationships make people happy. Some people living in the poorest communities have almost nothing but turn out to be the happiest because they share a life, together. If effective relationships are working, happiness is always possible.
Here are some simple tips for building effective relationships.
Listen to and try to understand others' positions and feelings. Listening in itself can lead to understanding, and if you understand someone else fully, then you know how to work better with him or her.
Openly express your needs and feeling. Sometimes we expect people particularly those close to us at home or work to understand what we want and to give us what we need intuitively (凭直觉地). However, people are so complicated and so different that even when they have lived together for 60 years, they can still surprise each other. So we need to say what we need and to express how we feel.
In order to make our relationships more effective, we should treat ourselves and other people with respect. Respect is one of the most important elements of any good relationship.
Finally, learn to face differences in a correct way. Learning this takes time and can be uncomfortable. However, if we can try to remove differences in an effective way, we are more likely to build exciting and satisfying relationships with others.
By doing these things you may discover that the happiness you long for is much closer than you thought.

Many people use E-mail, blogs, text messages and social websites like Facebook to keep in touch with their friends. Now there is also Twitter（微博客）. This online service lets people send short messages that are no more than 140 letters long.
Here is how it works: Users can set up their own Twitter page by joining the free service on Twitter. com. They can search the website to find friends who are also using the service. By choosing to “follow” friends, users can see their new messages. Updates appear instantly in a list form as they are written. Twittering describes writing new updates on Twitter. A tweet is an individual Twitter update, or message.
Unlike blogs, Twitter users do not have to log onto the website to post updates. They can send and receive messages through mobile phones as text messages or through E-mail. Other programs available for download make Twitter updates appear on your computer screen. People use social websites like Facebook to share information with a special group of friends. But most Twitter users make their messages public.
Twitter says its service provides a way for people to stay connected to others, through messages describing what they are doing at that moment. But twitters also use the service to get quick answers to questions or to get breaking news.
For example, when he was a presidential candidate, Barack Obama announced his choice for vice president on Twitter. Many other politicians in Washington use Twitter to share their daily activities with supporters.

A recent study shows that nearly 50 percent of the school kids in Beijing do not have breakfast. They tend to feel sleepy all day and have bad memories, so it is hard for them to get high marks in all kinds of tests.
Some students who study deep into the night choose to miss breakfast so that they can have a few extra minutes in bed. Others are given money to buy their breakfast on the way to school because their parents are too busy to prepare it for them. In addition, a few school girls want to stay slim and often go to school without breakfast.
In fact the morning meal plays an important part. It can provide 30 percent of the whole day’s energy. For a creative mind and better judgment, school kids should start their days with a regular breakfast.

Earthquake experience can be very frightening for anyone. Knowing what to do safely during the earthquake is important. It can help in reducing anxiety and increases the awareness and ability to deal with it properly. No one knows when an earthquake will hit or how damaging it will be. The following are some simple tips that could save your life.
Create an earthquake plan, which includes the actions that you and your family will take when the earthquake occurs, and identify “safe zones” within the house to shelter in when an earthquake strikes. Prepare things like high-energy food, flashlight, radio, batteries and bottled water on hand, as during a quake, it is likely that electricity and water will be cut off.
If you are at home when an earthquake strikes, get under a large item of furniture and hold on or stay in a corner. If the ceiling falls down it will land on the edge of the furniture and slope towards the floor. Stay in your seat if you are in a stadium or a theater. Get below the level of the back of the seat and cover your head and neck with your arms.
If you are walking outdoors when an earthquake strikes, move into an open area away from buildings, street lights and glass windows. These could fall and injure you. If you are driving when an earthquake strikes, carefully pull over at the side of the road and don’t get out of your car until the shakes pass.
After the earthquake, avoid routes with tunnels or bridges in case of aftershocks. Electricity and water supplies are likely to be cut off, so save your water supplies. Listen to a battery-operated radio for emergency instructions and information. Use the telephone for emergency calls only.

Throw the bottles and boxes of drugs out of your house. A new theory suggests that medicine could be bad for your health, which should at least come as good news to people who cannot afford to buy expensive medicine. This new theory argues that healing is at our fingertips: we can be healthy by doing Yoga on a regular basis.
Supporters of medical treatment argue that medicine should be trusted since it is effective and scientifically proven. They say that there is no need for spiritual methods such as Yoga. These waste our time, something which is quite precious in our material world. There is medicine that can kill our pain, x-rays that show us our bones or MRI that scans our brain for tumors (肿瘤).
We must admit that these methods are very effective in the examples that they provide. However, there are some “everyday complaints” such as back pains, headaches, insomnia, which are treated currently with medicine. When you have a headache, you take an Aspirin; when you cannot sleep, you take Xanax without thinking of the side effects of these. When you use these pills for a long period, you become addicted to them; you cannot sleep without them. We pay huge amounts of money and become addicted instead of getting better. How about a safer and more economical way of healing? When doing Yoga, you do not need anything except your energy so it is very economical. Its popularity has spread particularly throughout America and Western Europe. In quantum (量子) physics, energy is recognized as the fundamental substance (物质) which the universe consists of. Yoga depends on the energy within our bodies. It is a simple and effective way of restoring the energy flow. There are no side effects and it is scientifically explained.
Opponents of alternative healing methods also claim that serious illnesses such as HIV/AIDS and cancer cannot be treated without drugs. They think so because these patients spend the rest of their lives in the hospital taking medicine. How can Yoga make these people healthy again? It is very unfortunate that these patients have to live in the hospital losing their hair because of chemotherapy (化疗), losing weight because of the side effects of the medicine they take. Actually, it is common knowledge that except for when the cancer is recognized at an early stage, drugs also cannot treat AIDS or cancer. Most of the medicines these patients use are to ease their pain and their sufferings. Instead of drugs which are expensive and have many side effects, you can use your energy to overcome the hardships of life, find an emotional balance, leave the stress of everyday life and let go of the everyday worries. We should definitely start learning Yoga and avoid illnesses before it is too late.

Title: Health and Healing at Your Fingertips
to a new theory	A new theory argues that doing Yoga can keep people healthy while medicine might do to people’s health.
Support of medical treatment	● People should medicine as it is very useful for killing pain. ● Medicine is effective and scientifically proven while Yuga is a kind of spiritual method and doing Yoga is only a of time. ● Illnesses HIV/AIDS and cancer can only be treated with drugs.
Support of Yoga	● Doing Yoga is safer and not asas taking medicine. ● Most of the medicines that patients with some   diseases use are to ease their pain and their sufferings but can not cure them. ● Yoga has no side effects and also there is a explanation. It can restore the energy flow in people’s bodies, which can our emotions, control thoughts,  overcome the hardships of life, leave the stress of everyday life and let go of the everyday worries.

 

There are a number of special days of the year that are celebrated in different countries. One of the most popular of these, even though it is fairly recent, is Mother’s Day. Mothers have always been highly regarded in all cultures. The Ancient Romans had a festival known as Hilaria, during which children took presents to the temple of the “Mother of the Gods”. The Christian Church adopted this idea and called it Mothering Sunday. However, over the years the custom was gradually forgotten and almost disappeared by the end of the 19^th century.
Born in 1864 in Virginia, USA, Anna Jarvis was a school teacher and believed children should show gratitude to their mothers for all their love and care. Encouraged by a friend, she wrote to thousands of important people --- politicians, churchmen, doctors, city officials---and asked them to support her ideas: a special day of the year for thanking mothers.
In 1910 the Governor of West Virginia introduced Mother’s Day into the state. The date chosen was May 10---the second Sunday in May, which is still observed in America today. This date was chosen because May 10 was the date on which in 1908 Anna Jarvis’s mother died. In 1914 President Woodrow Wilson made May 10 the official date for Mother’s Day throughout the United States.
Soon there was a Mother’s Day International Association and the custom began to be adopted in many countries of the world.
Anna Jarvis, a sad and disillusioned (大失所望的) woman died in 1948. The custom she had worked so hard to establish and which had become almost universal had lost its original purpose. It had been taken over by business. As with Christmas, the giving of presents and the sending of cards had become a multi-million-dollar industry.

Millions of children are considered fat in the United States. And these children are at greater risk of bone and joint(关节) problems, and poor self-confidence. While the government is working on programs to stop this trend, experts stress that prevention should start at home.
The first step to a healthy home is to simplify your shopping list, Mary Jones Verbovski, a pediatric dietitian(儿科营养学家)at Seattle Children’s Hospital, recommends fresh milk products, meats and vegetables——the brighter, the better. “Look for naturally colorful foods,” she said. “More nutrients, vitamins and minerals are naturally present there.”
Parents can become role models for their children by enjoying the process of cooking for the family. “When children grow up in a positive, loving environment where they cook and eat meals together, they’re more likely to absorb that into their own lives and families as they grow,” Verbovski said. “Inviting kids to join in the kitchen activities also helps the parents,” notes Verbovski. “If your child helps with cooking and food preparation, you get an understanding of what they like and what they may be willing to try,” she said.
It’s important to pass on nutritional facts to your children in a way that they’ll remember them. Nancy Walsh, who volunteers with the Junior League program, says keeping kids involved form start to finish helps them to learn nutritional and exercise tips and they’ll remember what they have learned through play and carry it with them as they grow up. The key is making it fun, while encouraging good discipline(纪律) and limits. “Find a way to make exercise and fitness fun and playful, not work or a chore,” Verbovski said.

TOKYO, Oct. 12 (Xinhua) -- The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has downgraded the forecast for global economic growth for 2012 to 3.3 percent before the IMF-World Bank 2012 annual meetings. The IMF called on all players to cooperate closely to improve the global economy as the global economy recovered more slowly than the IMF’s forecast in April due to many uncertainties.
“In advanced countries, growth is now too low to make a substantial dent in unemployment, and in major emerging countries, growth which had been strong earlier has also decreased.” said the IMF Chief Economist Olivier Blanchard at the press conference.
Good effects have been observed with right action taken by some central banks in the euro area, and IMF received the good signals and considered them a good opportunity to seize as many uncertainties, in every corner of the world, preventing the decision makers from investing, creating jobs and developing values. The IMF suggested if the measures continued working effectively, there is reason to believe the most difficult time for Europe will pass soon, the recovery will begin in 2013.
Looking into the future, IMF suggested there are four key policies for all members to do to make the economy keep going forward.
Firstly, continue to complete the financial sector reform contributing to the safety of the financial sector, as the safety has not improved much yet than five years ago. And then, countries should deal with the legacy(遗留) of high debt, especially in the advanced economies, which have extremely high level. Policy makers also need to expand the employment on creating the condition for economic growth, because the jobless rate among young people is unacceptable. Finally, all members of IMF should face the global unbalance, which is the topic that has been talked about for a long time.
Christine Lagarde, IMF Managing Director, said the annual meetings of IMF could provide a broad platform for players, both new ones from the emerging market and traditional ones from the advanced market, and cooperation is the thing most needed, because the global economy is a cooperative game.

Be loyal to your team
An organization is divided into two groups, the employees and the management. Most of the times the interests of the two groups don't go together and as a leader you would commonly be caught in between. You are a member of the management but you are working hand in hand with the employees. You also need to show concern for your team. Be on their side yet not compromising the management’s side. Let them understand that you know where they’re coming from. Through this you will gain their loyalty which is the basic component of cooperation.
Gain their trust
Gaining the trust of your members doesn't only give the chance to develop cooperation within the team. It also gives you the chance to gain loyalty from them. By gaining their loyalty they will be able to follow you without hesitation and doubt. However, gaining a person’s trust is more easily said than done but the most important thing required to gain a person’s trust is being genuine and consistent. Be always fair on all your members at all times.
Don't make them feel you’re just after your gains
In building a connection with your team, you should always make them feel that you’re not just using them for your own gains. You should learn that people don't like the feeling of being used by others. They would be discouraged and would tend not to do their best if they feel that way. You should make them feel that you’re pushing them not only for your own gains but also for their benefits. Avoid making them feel that you are just using them for your own reasons.
A team won’t ever be successful without teamwork and cooperation. Therefore as a leader try your very best to inspire teamwork on your team. Be a role model to your team and always show them that you are a team player. This would greatly encourage your team to follow your example.
