The family has the responsibility for keeping young children safe, providing love and helping all their children to learn to get along with people. The most important beginning is the development of trust. The infant (婴儿的) needs to know that there is someone who cares and provides for his or her needs.
Each person also has the responsibility to show love and affection to other people in the family. The way you show love can be different for different people. What one child feels is loving might be felt as disturbing by a different child. Each person’s needs should be respected. It is your responsibility to be an understanding person.
There are different ways to show young children affection and love. It is easy to tell when it is direct, a hug or kiss, or the words“I love you.” Young children respond better to demonstrating love. Use words to describe love with action. In this way the feelings are clear and not misunderstood.
Showing love also means guiding the actions of young children. As young children grow more independent, the people responsible need to understand these growing skills. But as important as it is to allow children the freedom to explore and be themselves, it is important to set limits for children.
Respect is the most important part of family relationships and harmony. Maintain control of yourself and your feelings.
| A．A hug is a physical need. |
| B．Respect the child’s self-esteem. |
| C．Remember how important your child is to you. |
| D．Many families don’t stop to think about their values. |
E. Another way a person might show love is through actions.
F. Each person in the family has a need for love and affection.
G. Clearly express to your child what is acceptable behavior in all sorts of daily situations.

Every animal sleeps,but the reason for this has remained foggy.When lab rats are not allowed to sleep,they die within a month. 71
One idea is that sleep helps us strengthen new memories. 72 We know that,while awake,fresh memories are recorded by reinforeing (加强)connections between brain cells,but the memory processes that take place while we sleep have been unclear.
Support is growing for a theory that sleep evolved so that connections between neurons(神经元)in the brain can be weakened overnight,making room for fresh memories to from the next day. 73
Now we have the most direct evidence yet that he is right. 74 The synapses in the mice taken at the end of a period of sleep were 18 per cent smaller than those taken before sleep,showing that the connections between neurons weaken while sleeping.
If Tononi`s theory is right,it would explain why,when we miss a night`s,we find it harder the next day to concentrate and learn new information-our brains may have smaller room for new experences.
Their research also suggests how we may build lasting memories over time even though the synapscs become thinner.The team discovered that some synapses seem to be protected and stayed the same size. 75 "You keep what matters,"Tononi says.
| A． |
We should also try to sleep well the night before. |
| B． |
Ti's as if the brain is preserving its most important memories. |
| C． |
Similarly, when people go for a few days without sleeping, they get sick. |
| D． |
The processes take place to stop our brains becoming loaded with memories. |
| E． |
That's why students do better in tests if they get a chance to sleep after learning. |
| F． |
"Sleep is the price we pay for learning," says Giulio Tononi, who developed the idea. |
| G． |
Tononi's team measured the size of these connections, or synapses, in the brains of 12 mice. |

As a child grows up，you may wonder how you can teach him to become a respectful adult. A child who learns to respect not only learns to receive respect from others in kind，but also learn to respect himself.
●Show him respect.
This is the best way to teach your child how to respect others．Listen to your child attentively and he will learn to listen to you，understanding how important this is in communication．
●
The more you say “please” and “thank you” to your child，the more likely he will learn to use them．Politeness then becomes a normal part of any conversation．
●Agree to disagree．
Explain your decision so that he will understand you and expect respectful responses．Disagreeing with you doesn't necessarily mean disobedience(不顺从)．
●Control your impulse to overreact．
When a situation arises（出现），stay calm and keep in mind that you are supposed to be modeling correct behavior.
●Praise，praise，praise

下面文章有4处（第1～4题）需要添加小标题。请从以下选项（A、B、C、D和E）中选出符合各段意思的小标题，并在答题纸上将相应选项的标号涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。
| A. There are few statues in the Middle East. B. Art is a good means for people to know about religions. C. Artists express their feelings and opinions in their works. D. People know more about our culture through learning art history. E. Art is more objective than history itself. |
A study of art history might be a good way to learn more about a culture than is possible to learn in general history classes. Most typical history courses concentrate on politics, economics and war. But art history focuses on much more than this because art reflects not only the political values of a people, but also religious beliefs, emotions, and psychology.
In history books, objective information about the political life of a country is presented; that is, facts about politics are given, but opinions are not expressed. Art, on the other hand, is subjective: it reflects emotions and opinions. The great Spanish painter Francisco Goya was perhaps the first truly “political” artist. In his well-known painting The Third of May 1808, he criticized the Spanish government for its misuse of power over people. Over a hundred years later, symbolic images were used in Pablo Picasso’s Guernica to express the horror of war. Meanwhile, on another continent, the powerful paintings of Diego Rivera, Jose Clemente Orozco, and David Alfaro Siqueiros – as well as the works of Alfredo Ramos Martins – depicted these Mexican artists’ deep anger and sadness about social problems.
In the same way, art can reflect a culture’s religious beliefs. For hundreds of years in Europe, religious art was almost the only type of art that existed. Churches and other religious buildings were filled with paintings that depicted people and stories from the Bible. Although most people couldn’t read, they could still understand biblical stories in the pictures on church walls.
By contrast, one of the main characteristics of art in the Middle East was (and still is) its absence of human and animal images. This reflects the Islamic belief that statues are unholy. That’s why no figures can be found in or around places of interest in these regions.

How is it done? __ If you follow the skills, you’ll make friends with people quickly.
First of all, good talkers ask questions．____ One well-known businesswoman says, “At business lunches, I always ask people what they did that morning．It’s a common question, but it will get things going.” From there you can move on to some other questions．And how he answers will let you know how far you can go．
____ This point seems clear, but it isn’t．Your question should have a point and help to tell what sort of person you are talking to．And to find out, you really have to listen carefully and attentively.
Real listening at least means some things．______ If someone sticks to one topic, it means he’s really interested in it．Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to tones （语气） of voice．If the voice sounds boring, then, it’s time for you to change the subject.
Finally, good talkers know well when to say good-bye．Remember to give him a handshake and say, “ I’ve really enjoyed meeting you.” ______ Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away feeling as if they’ve known you half their life.

Investing in yourself
Figuring out how to invest your money can be a difficult task. This is something that you will want to learn how to do.
Things that will improve your knowledge, skills or health are all great investments. However, before you start, you need to be clear about what you will gain out of doing all of these things.
You may think investing in yourself means investing in your education.. There are some other things you can do as well as buying a gym membership or learning a new skill.
So what are some specific things you can do? . Reading books can really expand your mind and allow you to learn different skills and gain knowledge. I’m talking about the books where you will actually learn a new skill, not fiction books.

But over time, they will show up in terms of your happiness level as well as your level of success.

Magazine Articles： More Valuable Than You May Think
Parents are often surprised when teachers suggest their children read magazines． Read on to learn about the benefits that reading magazines offers to young readers and how to introduce your children to the medium．
Magazine Benefits
Magazine articles can provide reluctant readers with a lively， breezy writing style that can inspire them to read more．
The articles in magazines are generally short， which allows a child to finish reading a feature article without losing interest due to a short attention span． The writing in magazines also tends to be easy to read， especially if it is a children's publication．
By allowing your child to read magazines at an early age， you are encouraging development of a useful skill．（1） Getting into the habit of reading periodicals as a child will foster the habit of reading news articles that may continue into adulthood．
（2） Magazine articles challenge students to think about issues they may have never considered or cause them to rethink their world view． Information is available in a wide variety of reading levels because magazines are written for every audience imaginable． Many publications cover the same material in different writing styles that might make it easier for your child to comprehend．
Magazine Activities
Reading magazines as a family can be used to introduce each other to the various interests that each family member possesses． When your children are finished with their magazines， encourage them to pass their issue on to a sibling or other family member．
Once each family member has finished reading each magazine， you can use them for art and writing projects． These projects are for family members of all ages：
1． Cut out pictures to help your preschool and kindergarten children learn their alphabet， numbers， and colors．
2． （3） Paste the picture at the top of a page and have them write a story about what is happening or what the picture represents．
3． Clip pictures to create a collage． Many teenagers love using their artistic talents to collage．
（4） The skills that students utilize and strengthen when reading magazines can be applied to higher level reading and other academic subjects． Encouraging your child to read by giving them a magazine subscription could cause them to take the leap from being a reluctant reader to a voracious page﹣turner．
