When I walk along the street these days,1       ( surround) by people with uncommon haircuts and  2          (strange) shaped trousers,I feel like a clock that stopped several years ago.

It isn't just that 8       (keep) up with them is too much like hard work. So whenever I begin to feel uncomfortably old fashioned,I just remind 9       (me) that even a stopped clock is right twice that day;    10       1960s will be back some time.

How often have you used brainstorming to solve a problem? Chances are,you've used it at least once,even if you did not realize it. For decades,people have used brainstorming to generate (生成) ideas,and to come up with creative solutions to problems. However,you need to use brainstorming correctly for it to be fully effective. 1       Step 1 :Prepare the Group First,set up a comfortable meeting environment for the session. Make sure that the room is well lit and that you have the tools,resources,and refreshments that you need.

How much information or preparation does your team need in order to brainstorm solutions? Remember that prep is important,but too much can limit―or even destroy―the freewheeling nature of a brainstorming session.

2      A room full of likeminded people won't generate as many creative ideas as a diverse group,so try to include people from a wide range of disciplines and include people with a variety of different thinking styles.

Step 2 :Present the Problem Clearly define the problem that you want to solve,and lay out any criteria that you must meet. Make it clear that the meeting's objective is to generate as many ideas as possible.

Give people plenty of quiet time at the start of the session to write down as many of their own ideas as they can. 3       Step 3 :Guide the Discussion Once everyone has shared their ideas,start a group discussion to develop other people's ideas,and use them to create new ideas. 4       Encourage everyone to contribute and to develop ideas,including the quietest people,and discourage anyone from criticizing ideas.

Share ideas if you have them,but spend your time and energy supporting your team and guiding the discussion.

5       People are most creative when they are enjoying themselves in a relaxing environment.

   A. Consider who will attend the meeting.

   B. After the brainstorming session,you'll have a lot of ideas.

   C. Above all,remember to let everyone have fun while brainstorming.

   D. To run a group brainstorming session (會議,會期) effectively,follow these steps.

   E. Building on others' ideas is one of the most valuable aspects of group brainstorming.

   F. Then,ask them to share their ideas,while giving everyone a fair opportunity to contribute.

   G. Make sure that you get a good number of different ideas,and explore individual ideas in detail.

A shopkeeper once found that a bag money had been stolen from his shop. He went to the judge and tell him about his loss. The judge ordered all the people of the shop to come before them. He took a large amount of sticks of equal length and gave one stick to each person. Then he said, "Come after me again tomorrow. I'll then know which of you are the thief because the stick given to a thief will be one inch longer than the others. " The next day,the people came to the judge,and he found one stick was more shorter than any of the other. Of course,the person which had the shortest stick was the thief.

In many countries,it has long been a tradition to hold a annual tree or forest festival. The origin of such celebrations date back to ancient times. However,Arbor Day,as it is common known today,is of American origin and evolved from conditions peculiar to the Great Plains. It was first observed at Nebraska in 1872. The idea was created by J. S. Morton,a member of the Nebraska State Board of Agriculture,one of the country's forest conservation organization. It was a move to promote replanting,and to plant up treeless areas. The idea has spreaded widely to other lands which it is variously celebrated the "Festival of Trees"―" Greening Week" in Japan, "The New Year's Days of Trees" in Israel, "The Treeloving Week" in Korea, "The Students' Planting Day" in Iceland or "The National Festival of Tree Planting" in India. Arbor Day in their various forms is now celebrated in more than fifty countries.

Sometimes,you'd better use pen and paper than open up your mouth to convey just the right emotion. Margaret Shepherd,author of The Art of Civilized Conversation,shares these proper occasions.

* Condolences (吊唁) At first,everything is a blur (模糊不清) for the bereaved (死者的親友) so it's comforting to have notes to read later at their own pace. I       For instance, "I know you're going to be busy with family right now,but in a few weeks,Fm going to call you so we can have coffee together."Then do it.

*  2       An apology is easier to put on paper―you're calmer and you can choose better words and take more care with what you say. Apologize very clearly and don't use weasel words (推諉詞) like "I'm sorry if you were upset by me." 3      

* Praises If you compliment people to their face,they often feel they should be modest,but a written note can be savored (品味) in private. For example, "I really appreciate your patience as I learn to stop drinking."

氺 4      

A request to work on a campaign,help out a fundraiser―put them all on paper to avoid putting people on the spot.

* Thank You Most of us think we're covered if we've verbally thanked someone or sent an email,but if the person put effort into a gathering or a gift,you should put effort into making a thankyou note. I am strongly agreed that people should hand write a thankyou note for a hand cooked dinner rather than call the next day and talk about how fun it was. They just saw you the night before!5      

   A. And remember to use your pen instead of words always.

   B. Finish with something appreciative,such as "Thanks for putting up with me."

   C. Make an Offer

   D. A Request for Help

   E. Give them something to look forward to.

   F. Apologies

   G. And there isn't a person on earth who doesn't appreciate a thankyou note.

Nearly every parent loses control and screams at the children now and then. But what if you do it repeatedly?

Researchers suspect parents are yelling more. 1       Three out of four parents yell,scream or shout at their children or teens about once a month,on average,for misbehaving or making them angry,research shows. Increasingly,therapists and parenting experts are homing in on how it hurts a child,as well as how to stop it.

Research shows that many parents lose control because they feel attacked or think the child's actions reflect poorly on them. Teens whose parents use "harsh verbal discipline" such as shouting or insulting are more likely to have behavior problems and depression symptoms,says a recent study.

2       Eight-year-olds whose parents disciplined them by yelling have less satisfying relationships with romantic partners and spouses at age 23,according to a 15-year study led by Stephanie Parade,an assistant professor of psychiatry and human behavior at Brown University.

3       Warning signs can include:tightness in the throat or chest,rapid breathing,negative thoughts about oneself or feelings of being overwhelmed.

"Learning to start sentences with ' I,rather than * you' can help parents shift from an angry attack to a teaching moment," Ms. Faber says.

Leigh Fransen felt like yelling when her daughters,Alona and Elisha,forgot to feed the family dog,Balto,on two evenings in the same week. Ms. Fransen said, "I wanted to yell, 'You're not getting any dinner tonight,because you didn't feed the dog. 4       ,―that would lead to nothing but tears and misery."

Instead,she started her response with "I” ,saying, "I don't like seeing the dog not fed. Look at him: He is miserable.5       Ms. Fransen says. Alona and Elisha needed to be reminded of the deadline twice,but soon learned to remember on their own. Ms. Fransen praised them for taking responsibility and encouraged them.

   A. And you're going to know how it feels.

   B. I expect him to be fed before you eat your own dinner.

   C. Parents have been conditioned to avoid spanking,so they vent their anger by shouting instead.

   D. Parents can learn to notice signs that a blowup is brewing and dial down their own tension.

   E. Apologizing can help repair a relationship after an outburst.

   F. Another study suggests yelling at children may have consequences that go beyond those of spanking.

   G. Parents can turn a meltdown into a teaching moment by involving kids in finding solutions.

I prefer my English classes to be taught in English only. What we all know,a good learning environment is of greatly importance if we want to study English well. Classes teaching in English provide students for a better environment. When English is an only language in class,students will have more opportunity to practise listening and speaking. However,there were problems to this method. Sometimes we may find difficult to follow the teacher and some slow learners may even give up learn English. In spite of these difficulties,I still believe the practice makes perfect. With enough practice,we can overcome the difficulties and benefit from English classes in the long run.
