Nick sat in my classroom after school, five years ago, wanting help on a research paper that stood between him and graduation. An 21 student at the school, he felt much worried about his assignment.
Many 22 find themselves in the same position: A child feels lost with 23 and turns to you for help. Not wanting the child to 24 , some parents step in and take over. I could easily tell the _25 between a parent’s writing style and the student’s style on homework.
Parents often have pure purposes, but the result can be 26 . They’re cheating their kids out of the very education they want them to get. Allowing children to master a skill 27 lifelong gains.
Some ways to help without hurting:
Be a model learner. If your child sees you 28 papers, magazines or literature, he’ll be more motivated to learn.
If you’re 29 that he or she is falling behind, talk with the teacher about it instead of doing the work yourself.
Nick made it through fine. I didn’t write his paper. Nor did his mother. Instead, we guided him together. At 30 , we are very happy to see him collect his diploma. But no one was prouder than Nick. He knew what he had done.

My sister and I grew up in a little village in England. Our father was a struggling 21 , but I always knew he was 22 . He never criticized us, but used 23 to bring out our best. He’d say, “If you pour water on flowers, they flourish. If you don’t give them water, they die.” I remember as a child I said something _24 _ about somebody, and my father said, “Any time you say something unpleasant about somebody else, it’s a reflection of you.” He explained that if I looked for the best in people, I would get the best in return. From then on I’ve always tried to 25 the principle in my life and later in running my company.
Dad’s also always been very 26 . At 15, I started a magazine. It was taking up a great deal of my time, and the headmaster of my school gave me a 27 : stay in school or leave to work on my magazine. I decided to leave, and Dad tried to sway me from my decision, as any good father would. When he realized I had made up my mind, he said, “Richard, when I was 23, my dad persuaded me to go into law. And I’ve 28_ regretted it. I wanted to be a biologist, but I didn’t pursue my dream. You know what you want. Go fulfill (实现) it.”
As it turned out, my little publication went on to become Student, a national 29 for young people in the U.K. My wife and I have two children, and I’d like to think we are bringing them up in the same way Dad _ 30 me.

Several factors make a good newspaper story. First obviously it must be new. But since TV can react to events so quickly, this is often a problem for 21 . They usually respond to it in one of three ways.
By providing 22 detail, comment or background information.
By finding a new 23 on the day's major stories.
By printing completely different stories which TV doesn't broadcast.
What else Well it also has to be 24 . People don't want to read about ordinary, everyday life. Because of this, many stories 25 some kind of conflict or danger. This is one reason why so much news seems to be 26 news. “Plane lands safely no one hurt” doesn't sell newspapers. “Plane 27 --200 dead!” does.
Next, there's human interest. People are interested in other 28 particularly in the rich, famous and powerful. Stories about the private lives of pop singers，actors，models，politicians, 29 , all appear regularly in certain newspapers.
Finally, for many editors, 30 is an important factor, too. They prefer stories about people, place and events which their readers know. That's why the stories in Tokyo's newspapers are of ten very different from the stories printed in Paris, Cairo, New York or Buenos Aires.

There is a workman in America who earns as much as a company director. He is Max Quarterman, a thirty-year-old plasterer (泥瓦匠).
Max lives in an upper middle-class housing estate. His 21 are mostly bank managers, business executives, airline pilots and the 22 , but Max's seven-bedroom house — 23 $ 80,000 — is the largest in the area. 24 outside the house are Max's $ 7000 sports car and his wife's Morris Mini. 25 is a 150 colour TV set and the family's 26 — a circular bath with gold-plated taps. There are also many labour－saving 27 and luxury (豪华) furniture.
How can a plasterer 28 all this The answer, says Max, is hard work. In partnership with another plasterer, Max 29 contract plastering jobs for a firm. The owner of the firm 30 them as human machines, the best and quickest in the trade , who can do as much in two days as any two-man team can in two weeks.
How do they manage it Not by working overtime. They work a normal eight-hour day, five days a week. The secret lies in Max's hod (桶) in which he carries the plaster to the site of the job. Max's is a superhod — it contains double the usual quantity of plaster, and Max, a strong fellow, runs when he carries it. More time is thus left to get on with the plastering. Besides, neither man wastes time smoking, and they cut their lunch break to a total of an hour a day. Now Max earns over $ 800 a week which is four times the average weekly pay in Britain , today, and if he gets as little as $ 15, it's a disaster.

Nick sat in my classroom after school, five years ago, wanting help on a research paper that stood between him and graduation. An 21 student at the school, he felt much worried about his assignment.
Many 22 find themselves in the same position: A child feels lost with 23 and turns to you for help. Not wanting the child to 24 , some parents step in and take over. I could easily tell the _25 between a parent’s writing style and the student’s style on homework.
Parents often have pure purposes, but the result can be 26 . They’re cheating their kids out of the very education they want them to get. Allowing children to master a skill 27 lifelong gains.
Some ways to help without hurting:
Be a model learner. If your child sees you 28 papers, magazines or literature, he’ll be more motivated to learn.
If you’re 29 that he or she is falling behind, talk with the teacher about it instead of doing the work yourself.
Nick made it through fine. I didn’t write his paper. Nor did his mother. Instead, we guided him together. At 30 , we are very happy to see him collect his diploma. But no one was prouder than Nick. He knew what he had done.

My sister and I grew up in a little village in England. Our father was a struggling 21 , but I always knew he was 22 . He never criticized us, but used 23 to bring out our best. He’d say, “If you pour water on flowers, they flourish. If you don’t give them water, they die.” I remember as a child I said something _24 _ about somebody, and my father said, “Any time you say something unpleasant about somebody else, it’s a reflection of you.” He explained that if I looked for the best in people, I would get the best in return. From then on I’ve always tried to 25 the principle in my life and later in running my company.
Dad’s also always been very 26 . At 15, I started a magazine. It was taking up a great deal of my time, and the headmaster of my school gave me a 27 : stay in school or leave to work on my magazine. I decided to leave, and Dad tried to sway me from my decision, as any good father would. When he realized I had made up my mind, he said, “Richard, when I was 23, my dad persuaded me to go into law. And I’ve 28_ regretted it. I wanted to be a biologist, but I didn’t pursue my dream. You know what you want. Go fulfill (实现) it.”
As it turned out, my little publication went on to become Student, a national 29 for young people in the U.K. My wife and I have two children, and I’d like to think we are bringing them up in the same way Dad _ 30 me.

Several factors make a good newspaper story. First obviously it must be new. But since TV can react to events so quickly, this is often a problem for 21 . They usually respond to it in one of three ways.
By providing 22 detail, comment or background information.
By finding a new 23 on the day's major stories.
By printing completely different stories which TV doesn't broadcast.
What else Well it also has to be 24 . People don't want to read about ordinary, everyday life. Because of this, many stories 25 some kind of conflict or danger. This is one reason why so much news seems to be 26 news. “Plane lands safely no one hurt” doesn't sell newspapers. “Plane 27 --200 dead!” does.
Next, there's human interest. People are interested in other 28 particularly in the rich, famous and powerful. Stories about the private lives of pop singers，actors，models，politicians, 29 , all appear regularly in certain newspapers.
Finally, for many editors, 30 is an important factor, too. They prefer stories about people, place and events which their readers know. That's why the stories in Tokyo's newspapers are of ten very different from the stories printed in Paris, Cairo, New York or Buenos Aires.

There is a workman in America who earns as much as a company director. He is Max Quarterman, a thirty-year-old plasterer (泥瓦匠).
Max lives in an upper middle-class housing estate. His 21 are mostly bank managers, business executives, airline pilots and the 22 , but Max's seven-bedroom house — 23 $ 80,000 — is the largest in the area. 24 outside the house are Max's $ 7000 sports car and his wife's Morris Mini. 25 is a 150 colour TV set and the family's 26 — a circular bath with gold-plated taps. There are also many labour－saving 27 and luxury (豪华) furniture.
How can a plasterer 28 all this The answer, says Max, is hard work. In partnership with another plasterer, Max 29 contract plastering jobs for a firm. The owner of the firm 30 them as human machines, the best and quickest in the trade , who can do as much in two days as any two-man team can in two weeks.
How do they manage it Not by working overtime. They work a normal eight-hour day, five days a week. The secret lies in Max's hod (桶) in which he carries the plaster to the site of the job. Max's is a superhod — it contains double the usual quantity of plaster, and Max, a strong fellow, runs when he carries it. More time is thus left to get on with the plastering. Besides, neither man wastes time smoking, and they cut their lunch break to a total of an hour a day. Now Max earns over $ 800 a week which is four times the average weekly pay in Britain , today, and if he gets as little as $ 15, it's a disaster.
