| Teaching my first child, Danae, to share her toys was the biggest challenge. To 1 this, we started inviting other children to play, which could help Danae discover that it's 2 to share with others-a lesson I needed to 3 myself as well, as it 4 . One evening Danac had 5 a friend, Natalie, to play with her. Their favorite was a children's 6 game called Go Fish. That evening, 7 Natalie left, Danae came to me and said, "Mommy, I'd like to give these to Natalie tomorrow. They're her favorites." She help up three cards from the Go Fish game. I tried to 8 that I didn't want her to give them away because then our 9 wouldn't be complete. "But I really want her to have them!" Danae 10 . I thought perhaps she didn't understand that when she gave something away, it was gone 11 . So I tried again, saying, " 12 you give the cards to her, you can't 13 them back tomorrow." A look of 14 came over Danae's face. For a moment I was happy that she seemed to 15 . But then she smiled and said."Well, that's okay, I want her to have them anyway." What could I say to that? I sat 16 for a moment and then I realized I had been trying for so long to 17 her to share. Did it 18 that our Go Fish set would be 19 ? What mattered was that my daughter was learning the 20 of giving, that she was thinking about others instead of herself, and that she was trying to make her friends happy. Isn't that what life is all about? | ||||

| Washington D. C. is a great city to live in and visit-partly because D. C.'s public transportation can get you almost anywhere in the city, D.

Many bus routes start at a Metro subway terminal and make their way across the greater D.C. area. *Learn to identify bus stops. They are usually located at the intersections (交叉) of streets. Look for a tall sign with a tall sign with the words of "Metro Bus" that is dark blue at the top, white in the middle and red at the bottom.

| Calvin Coolidge (1872-1933) was the thirtieth president of the United States. He looked down on a person as being unworthy of respect who was too fond of talking about the details of others people's actions and private lives because he had no time for small talks. The following two incidents clearly show how Collidge treasured silence. When he was vice president, Coolidge had plenty of opportunities to participate (参加) in Washington's social life, especially the many dinner parties. As be ignored the art of conversation, he couldn't exactly make himself dear to his hostesses. One lady felt she could solve this problem. She placed him next to Alice Roosevelt Longworth, daughter of the former President Roosevelt. Mrs. Longworth, a very brilliant conversationalist (谈话者), began to talk in her usual charming manner, but all attempts to a wake the interest on the part of the vice president were unproductive. Finally, being shamed into anger, she said, "I'm sure that going to as many dinners as you do, you must get terribly bored." Without lifting his eyes from his plate, Coolidge said not very clearly, "Well, a man has to eat somewhere." Later, when he was president and once again at a dinner party, Collidge was seated next to an outstanding society woman, one of those busybodies, who seemed to take delight in trying to change the lives of everyone they met.

| Once in a television interview, I was chatting with the host about stay-at-home athers. I made the point that one reason why we're seeing more stay-at-homw dads may be hat it's no longer definite that a man makes more money than his wife. Many families now ake earning power into account when deciding which parent will stay home. At that point, one of the male crew members pointed out, almost to himself but loud nough for my benefit, "It should be the better parent who stays home." A lot of guys say hings like that. Usually it's a code for"My wife, or any woman is the better parent." I was a stay-at-home father for 8 years, so his words made me excited. It implied that our family's choice could only have been correct if I was a "better" parent than my wife. I suppose an argument could have been made that when I began staying home my wife was the "better" parent if she spent more time with Jack. She would be able to read him wetter and calm him more quickly. But as the more employable one, my wife went out to work and I looked after our son. Because of the increased time I spent with Jack. I soon knew him well, understood that he needed and could look after him more or less as well as my wife could. Actually, he experience helped me unlock one of the world's great secrets; Women are good at booking after children because they do it. It is not because of any innate (先天的) female talent. It is because they put in the time and attention required to become good at the job. Woman obviously get a biological head starting from giving birth and nursing, but ever the long term experience is more important. When I got the experience myself. I was people are able to look after them as well besides their moms. |

| Perhaps you do not know your school principal (校长) well. But you might be wise to take him or her seriously. Beijing University will enroll (招收) students recommended by high school principals this year. If the students recommended pass a round of interviews by Peking University, they will have an extra 30 extra points added to their national college entrance exam scores if they apply to the university. Beijing University said the reason behind the move was a desire to give students with comprehensive (综合的) or special abilities a chance to stand out. However, a survey, showed 10,046 out of 14,227 people are against the measure. Some experts agree with the criticism. Liu Daoyu, former president of Wuhan University is one strong opponent(反对者)."There are so many high schools across the country. But only 39 schools are qualified to recommend students. Is it fair to the rest of the schools? Besides, most of the 39 schools are located in big cities, which is unfair to other regions," The reform is also unfair to other students, some say. According to Liu, in the competitive exam, one extra point can put a student ahead of a large numbers of other-never mind 30. "Principals do not know students well. How can they guarantee the recommendation will be fair?" asked Wang Xuming, former spokesman of the Ministry of Education. The Ministry of Education said the move is a good experiment in college admission reforms and the public should support it even if it is not yet mature (成熟的). It said Beijing University promised a series of supervision (监督) measures to avoid cheating. For example, the information of schools and principals that recommend students, and the recommended students will be put online for a week for public supervision. |

| Barcelona December 22,2007. Spain's "El Gordo," the word's biggest lottery (彩票), gave out 2.2 billion euros (欧元) (1.6 billion pounds) in Christmas prizes on Saturday. El Gordo, Spanish for "The Fat One", is designed so that as many people as possible across Spain get a festive windfall. The top prize this year was 3 million euros -- going to the series of tickets with the magic number 06381. Because the tickets are sold in a series of 10, only those who paid 200 euros for the whole strip get the full prize. The biggest share of winning tickets was bought by people in the town of Nava, in the north-western Asturias region. The draw lasts three-and-a-half hours and is carried live on national television with children from the San Ildefonso school, a former orphanage in Madrid, in turn chanting the winning numbers and the amount won. Lotteries have two centuries of history in Spain. The country spent 2.87 billion euros on the lottery -- 5.7 percent more than last year. Seventy percent is paid out in prizes. Most of the rest goes in costs. Eight out of ten Spaniards bought tickets for the lottery, spending on average 64 euros. Spaniards often choose lottery numbers matching significant dates although there was no particular favourite in 2007.
