How adversity(逆境) makes you stronger

When faced with a crisis, we find it difficult to imagine the experience will eventually lead to some type of growth. 1． Research shows that past adversities can help you become more powerful in three ways.

2． Post-unpleasant growth is the experience of positive change after going through a significantly stressful event. Researchers have discovered two common themes that people tend to report after experiencing a stressful event: spiritual growth and enhanced personal strength.

They build self-efficacy. Self-efficacy is the confidence in your ability to overcome challenges and succeed. I once took part in a program with soldiers, where I should dance in front of hundreds of audience. When I danced, I had a panic attack and had to hang onto my colleague’s arm to make it through. What was odd was my brain’s reaction to the exercise. While it was a truly unpleasant experience, I survived. 3．

They help you treat stress as a challenge. 4． Some people view stress as a threat, while others are able to view it as a challenge. With a challenge response? you get additional energy and feel focused instead of being fearful.

5． Your past struggles, even small ones during an adversity can help you step out of the trouble you’re faced with.

A．They help you find the good.

B．They can bring growth after sufferings.

C．People have a healthier physical response to stress.

D．If your world feels out of control right now, just stay relaxed.

E．The fact is that we can become stronger after a difficult situation.

F．How you think about stress matters extremely in terms of how you process it.

G．That made my brain think about what other tough challenges I could conquer.

My 7-year-old daughter Leeny always has her nose in a book. She even took to reading in the car on the long drive to summer camp, which was where she lost the book. This is the first lost library book in my life. My family has always been over-educated, but we were poor. I didn’t own books. I borrowed books. However, my daughters have more books now than I owned my whole childhood, and I knowingly contribute to it by adding to the stacks (堆). So it’s probably my fault that when Leeny realized she had lost the book, she shrugged. “Sorry. I can’t find it,” she said. “It’s only $20, right? What’s the big deal?”

I felt the need to make her feel responsible for the book. She agreed to help me clean the chicken coop (笼子) in trade for my paying the library fine. I thought this idea was very clever because cleaning the coop is some work I had been avoiding for months. It was summertime and dust floated in the air. But my girl, my animal-loving mini-me, thought shoveling chicken poop (铲鸡粪) was the most fun she’d had on a Saturday morning in a long time. She didn’t feel any of the emotions that punishment is supposed to introduce. In fact, she looked as if she might lose another on purpose in order to clean the coop again. I stood, somewhat dumbfounded (目瞪口呆的), watching her.

It took me a while to realize what had happened, why my punishment had failed so completely and why I didn’t care. The fact is that I had Leeny help me clean the chicken coop. I was there, too, shoveling chicken poop, fetching the clean straw and feed. Leen’s little sister, Vicki, was inside watching a cartoon while my husband paid bills. Only Leeny and I were outside. She had me all to herself for the first time since Vicki was born, and she was enjoying all the attention for once. I don’t know what she learned about responsibility, but I found that I didn’t care about the book any more. We bonded over that unpleasant job and spent quality time together: mother, daughter, and chicken poop.

1．How did Leeny find reading?

A．It was very challenging.	B．It was of great value.
C．It was full of enjoyment.	D．It cost a large fortune.

2．What fact does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to?

A．The author didn’t own many books.

B．Leeny feel irresponsible for the lost book.

C．The author’s daughters own too many books.

D．The author could never have enough books to read.

3．How did the author feel after she saw Leeny’s cleaning work?

A．Ashamed.

B．Astonished.

C．Embarrassed.

D．Upset.

4．What’s the main idea of the passage?

A．What I owe to Leeny is more attention.

B．My punishment failed, but I didn’t care.

C．My daughter drove me crazy, but I felt grateful.

D．What my daughter loves is cleaning chicken coops.

How to Teach A Child to Ride A Bike?

You never forget how to ride a bike, but most of us forget how hard it was to learn. 1．. Here’s what to keep in mind when instructing little ones from two feet to two wheels.

Begin with the right equipment. Start with a bicycle that’s the right size. A newbie should be able to sit on the seat with both feet flat on the ground. If the child has been using a bike with training wheels, remove them. 2．. Long pants and long-sleeved shirts aren’t a bad idea, either, to prevent injury in the event of a fall.

3．. Head to a location that has smooth, flat, open pavement and little or no traffic to distract or endanger your child. It helps if there’s no one around, too, so he won’t feel self-conscious. The ideal spot? A school parking lot on the weekend.

Emphasize the basics. The fundamentals of biking are balance, coasting, pedaling, and steering. To help a child learn these basic skills, remember to show how to do that in the flesh and dare to let him try. No doubt there will be more than a few stops and starts and maybe even a fall or two. 4．.

Now practice a lot. After a fair number of dry runs, it’s time to move to the big stage. Find a bike path or a little-travelled street in a residential neighbourhood. 5．. Bike along with him to check that he’s using proper safety techniques and feels comfortable pedaling in traffic.

A．Find a safe spot to learn

B．Go to practice with the child

C．Encourage him to slow down and go on

D．Show him how to share the road with cars

E．A good-quality, well-fitting helmet is also a must

F．That’s why the experience of teaching children to ride can be frustrating

G．But eventually, he will manage to ride a fair stretch without stopping or falling
