Some dea

11、l with the situation by watching TV. Some may hide. But all of them have something in common. They spend part of each day alone. They are called latchkey children. Theyre children who look after themselves while their parents work. And their bad condition has become a subject of concern.Lynette Long

12、 was once the headmistress of an elementary school. She said, “We had a school rule against wearing jewelry. A lot of kids had chains around their necks with keys fastened. I was constantly telling them to put them inside their shirts. There were so many keys. It never came to my mind what they mean

13、t.” Slowly, she learned they were house keys.She and her husband began talking to the children who had them. They learned of the impact(影响) working couples and single parents were having on their children. Fear is the biggest problem faced by children at home alone. One in each three latchkey childr

14、en the Longs talked to reported being scared. Many had nightmares and were worried about their own safety.The most common way latchkey children deal with their fears is by hiding. It might be in a shower stall, under a bed, or in a closet. The second is TV. Theyll often play it at high volume. Its h

15、ard to get statistics(统计资料) on latchkey children, the Longs learned. Most parents are slow to admit they leave their children alone.21.

16、 much television during the dayD. suffer problems from being left alone22.

18、em. They often think that their parents are out of touch with modern ways, that they are too serious and too strict with their children, and that they seldom give their children a free hand. It is true that parents often find it difficult to win their childrens trust and they tend(倾向) to forget how

19、they themselves felt when young. For example, young people like to act on the spot without much thinking. It is one of their ways to show that they have grown up and they can face any difficult situation. Old people worry more easily. Most of them plan things in advance, at least in the back of thei

20、r minds, and do not like their plans to be upset by something unexpected. When you want your parents to let you do something, you will have better success if you ask before you really start doing it. Young people often make their parents angry with their choices in clothes, in entertainment and in m

21、usic. But they do not mean to cause any trouble; it is just that they feel cut off from the older peoples world, into which they have not yet been accepted. Thats why young people want to make a new culture of their own, and if their parents dont like their music or entertainment or clothes or their

22、 way of speech, this will make the young people extremely happy. Sometimes you are so proud of yourself that you do not want your parents to say “yes” to what you do. All you want is to be left alone and do what you like. It is natural enough, after being a child for so many years, when you were com

23、pletely under your parents control. If you prefer to control your life, youd better win your parents over and try to get them to understand you. If your parents see that you have a high sense of responsibility, they will certainly give you the right to do what you want to do.24. According to the tex

28、ies show that people of any age can train their brains to work faster. “Your brain is a learning machine, “ says University of California scientist Dr. Michael Merzenich. Given the right tools, we can train our brains to act like they did when we were younger. All thats required is the practice desi

29、gned just for the purpose: a few exercises for the mind.Merzenich has developed a computer-based training method to speed up the process(过程) in which the brain deals with information. Since much of the data we receive comes through speech, the Brain Fitness Program works with language and hearing to

30、 better speed and accuracy (准确性).Over the course of training, the program starts asking you to distinguish (辨别) sounds (between “dog” and “bog”, for example) at an increasingly faster speed. Its a bit like tennis instructor, says Merzenich, hitting balls at you faster and faster to keep you challeng

31、ed(受到挑战). You may start out slow, but before long youre pretty quick.The biggest finding in brain research in the last ten years is that the brain at any age is highly plastic. If you ask your brain to learn, it will learn. And it may even speed up while in the process.To keep your brain young and p

People should use the brain to stop it from ageing.DI entered high school having read hundreds of books. But I was not a good reader. Merely bookish, I lacked a poin

36、t of view when I read. Rather, I read in order to get a point of view. I searched books for good expressions and sayings, pieces of information, ideas, themesanything to enrich my thought and make me feel educated. When one of my teachers suggested to his sleepy tenth-grade English class that a pers

37、on could not have a “complicated (复杂的) idea” until he had read at least two thousand books, I heard the words without recognizing either its irony (嘲讽) or its very complicated truth. I merely determined to make a list of all the books I had ever read. Strict with myself, I included only once a title

38、 I might have read several times. (How, after all, could one read a book more than once?) And I included only those books over a hundred pages in length. (Could anything shorter be a book?) There was yet another high school list I made. One day I came across a newspaper article about an English prof

39、essor at a nearby state college. The article had a list of the “hundred most important books of Western Civilization. ” “More than anything else in my life, ” the professor told the reporter with finality, “ these books have made me all that I am. ” That was the kind of words I couldnt ignore (忽视).

40、I kept the list for the several months it took me to read all of the titles. Most books, of course, I hardly understood. While reading Platos The Republic, for example, I needed to keep looking at the introduction of the book to remind myself what the text was about. However, with the special patien

And by the time I reached the last word, pleased, I persuaded myself that I had read The Republic, and seriously crossed Plato off my list.32.

45、ent stress as well as reduce its effect when it cant be avoided. 36 37 When you are nervous, angry or upset, try releasing the pressure through exercise or physical activity. Running, walking, playing tennis, and working in your garden are just some of the activities you might try. Take care of your

46、self. 38 If you easily get angry and cant sleep well enough, or if youre not eating properly, it will be more likely that you will fall into stressful situations.
