That is because the television program by that name can now be seen in s
13、o many parts of the world. That program became one of Americans exports soon after it went on the air in New York in 1969. In the United States more than six million children watch the program regularly. The viewers include more than half the nations pre-school children, from every kind of economic(
14、经济的), racial(种族的), and geographical group. Although some educators object to certain elements in the program, parents praise it highly. Many teachers also consider it a great help, though some teachers find that problems arise when first graders who have learned from “Sesame Street” are in the same
15、class with children who have not watched the program. Tests have shown that children from all racial, geographical, and economic backgrounds have benefited from watching it. Those who watch it five times a week learn more than occasional(偶然的) viewers. In the US the program is shown at different hour
16、s during the week in order to increase the number of children who can watch it regularly. The programs all use songs, stories, jokes, and pictures to give children a basic understanding of numbers, letters and human relationships. But there are some differences. For example, the Spanish program, pro
17、duced in Mexico City, devotes more time to teaching whole words than to teaching separate letters. Why has “Sesame Street” been so much more successful than other childrens shows? Many reasons have been suggested. People mention the educational theories(理论) of its creators, the support by the govern
18、ment and private(私人的) businesses, and the skillful use of a variety of TV tricks. Perhaps an equally important reason is that mothers watch it along with their children. This is partly because famous adult stars often appear on it. But the best reason for the success of the program may be that it ma

DFive years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. “I was a clothes addict,” he jokes. “I used to carry a fr
38、esh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled.” Today David wears casual clothes-khaki pants and sports shirt-to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. “Im working harder than ever,” David says, “and I need to feel comfortable.” More and more companies are allowing their
39、 office workers to wear casual clothes to work in the United States. The change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday(but only on Friday). This became known as “dress-down Friday” of “casual Fri
40、day”. “What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing.” said business consultant Maisly Jones.Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes?

41、s if it has a casual dress code. “A lot of young people dont want to dress up for work,” says the owner of a software company, “so its hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code.” Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes.
42、 In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale. Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative impact on productivity. Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code
43、 helps them save money. “Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day,” one person said. “For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.” 41.

Although advice and help from others may be useful for us, we could only depend on our own efforts to achieve what we want.Throughout our lives, we may face many difficulties and problems. We should mainly depend on ourselves to overcome them. Firstly, we could benefit from deali

Furthermore, we could learn more about our own weak points and then find our ways to improve them. Secondly, nobody knows our problems better than we do. Even if people can provide advice, they might not think of the most effective way and finally solve the problems for us.Therefore, in time of difficulty, it is the honest efforts of ourselves that we should finally rely upon. We should work with all our strength rather than wait for the help from others.
