2、#39; t even know how to use them properly. This is true. They just want one because their friends have similar ones, or because they take very good videos and photos.On the other hand, if they do know how to use them, the latest cell phones are really good. They not only help teens to stay in touch

3、with friends and family, but also help them to access the Internet and download pictures, videos or music they need when studying. These new phones are so powerful that having one is almost like having a whole library in your pocket. It' lsnjir)ssauit'(e of information that helps young peopl

10、nd girls respond differently in situations like these because we parent them differently.Witt means parents and society treat kids differently. A famous study called "Baby X" designed by Phyllis Katz tested adults on how they treated babies based on what they thought the gender ( 性另1J) was

11、. When adults thought they were holding a girl, they held her gently and gave her dolls. When they thought the baby was a boy, they offered him a football. In the 1970s, some people took this to argue boys and girls were born entirely the same, and they behaved differently only because parents and s

12、ociety taught them to. Now, however, it' s accand biology both create the difference.Witt also offered a few tips f or the parents of girls: Don' t help them so much. Research shows parents tend tohelp girls more than boys. This can make girls feel helpless and less confident.In the case of

19、 ' s shiny black side door! Screech.! Immediately josh stopped the car, jumped out, seized the kid and pushed him up against a parked car. He shouted at the kid, "What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing?! " Building up a head of steam, he went on."

20、; That ' s my new jag, that brick you threw is gonna cost ycof money. Why did you throw it?"“Please, mister, please.I' m sorry! I didn ' t know what else to do! ” begged the youngster.because no one else would stop!” tears were streaming down the boy' s face as he pointed around

22、young businessman tried hard to swallow the rapidlyswelling lump in his throat. Straining, he lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his handkerchief and wiped the scrapers and cuts, checking to see that everything was going to be Ok. He then watched the younger brother push him

23、down the sidewalk toward their home.It was a long walk back to the black, shining 12 cylinder jaguar xke a long and slow walk. Josh never did fix the side door of his jaguar.

27、ying to get ready for the trouble in your future life.B. trying fast in a neighborhood street is dangerousC. trying to be more understanding seeing others in trouble D. protecting oneself from being hurtIn modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, beli

28、eving that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity, others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied ( 依賴)on how well they per

29、formed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life and death affairs. In their single 一minded pursuit (追求)of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposi

30、te attitude. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them

31、 a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse:"I may have lost, but it doesnreally didn ' t try. " What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that wou

32、ld mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove the mselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that onerespect relisssef -how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being
