Make Up Your Mind to SucceedKind-hearted parents have unknowingly left their children defenseless against failure.The generation born between 1980 and 2001 grew up playing sports where scores and performance were played down because"everyone's a winner."And their report cards sounded more positive (正面的) than ever before.As a result,Stanford University professor Carol Dweck,PhD,calls them"the overpraised generation."
Dweck has been studying how people deal with failure for 40 years.Her research has led her to find out two clearly different mind-sets that have a great effect on how we react to it.Here's how they work:
A fixed mind-set is grounded in the belief that talent is genetic-you're a born artist,point guard,or numbers person.The fixed mind-set believes it's sure to succeed without much effort and regards failure as personal shame.When things get difficult,ifs quick to blame,lie,and even stay away from future difficulties.
On the other hand,a growth mind-set believes that no talent is entirely heaven-sent and that effort and learning make everything possible.Because the ego (自尊) isn't on the line as much,the growth mind-set sees failure as a chance rather than shame.When faced with a difficulty,ifs quick to rethink,change and try again.In fact,it enjoys this experience.
We are all born with growth mind-sets.(Otherwise,we wouldn't be able to live in the world.) But parents,teachers,and instructors often push us into fixed mind-sets by encouraging certain actions and misdirecting praise.Dweck's book,Mind-set:The New Psychology of Success,and online instructional program explain this in depth.But she says there are many little things you can start doing today to make sure that your children,grandchildren and even you are never defeated by failure.

  • 2.Some high school students think it useless to receive higher education.Therefore,they choose not to go to college.If you're one of them,think again.Here are some reasons why you should go to college and receive a good education there.
       Schools and universities are the first places to get knowledge.We take that knowledge later on to build our careers after graduation.More knowledge will be gained after you start working,but without education,that job will not be within easy reach.Knowledge leads to knowledge.
       While limited within the walls of the educational places,we openly explore other cultures of the world!We come to know that ours is not the only culture.Other cultures have valuable things to share,enriching our own.Education also makes us want to travel and exchange with various cultures,getting more experience.
       When there's a recession in the economy(經(jīng)濟),those who attended college will be more likely to find a new job than those who only finished high school and have a limited skills set.The more education you have,the more chances you will get to improve the quality of your life as you have a better job and earn a higher salary.
       When you're skillful and knowledgeable,you gain access to people of similar backgrounds and tastes.It means a good education leads to excellent networking.Good networking can benefit you a lot in your later life.
       A good education makes you a more interesting person.You can talk about ideas and events instead of just other people and what's on sale in stores.An educated person doesn't gossip(說閑話),having a preference to discuss ideas and listen to what other people have to say.

  • 3.    When we're in trouble,we always ask our parents for help.But would you like them to hear the conversations you have with your friends on the school playground?Social networking sites have become extensions(延伸) of the school hallways,so would you add your parents as"friends"and allow them to view your online activities and conversations with friends?
        In the past the generation gap included a technology gap,where children were up to date with the latest technology and parents were left behind,content to continue their day-to-day lives as they always had because they didn't need to know more about technology.However,many parents are beginning to realize just how important social networks are in their lives.This realization has given many parents the motivation(動機) to educate themselves about social networking sites.These days many people are attracted to social networking sites because they can choose who they have around them,there's also a amount of control over privacy(隱私) that we don't get in real life.Sometimes we feel that privacy is violated(違背) when we must accept a"friend"request from family members.
        It's a difficult choice whether or not to allow parents to become a part of our online lives.Sometimes we don't want to"refuse"their request because that might hurt their feelings or make them feel you have something to hide.But if you do accept,then you will feel yourself being watched and no longer feel free to communicate the way you did before.
        A survey suggested parents shouldn't take it personally if their children overlook(忽略) their requests.When a teenager overlooks a parent's friend request,it doesn't necessarily mean that he is hiding something,but it means that he wants to be independent.
        Perhaps talking with parents and explaining would help soften the blow if you choose not to add them to your friend list.

    (1)What can we infer from Paragraph 2?

    A.Parents feel secure about their privacy online.
    B.Parents have realized the importance of social networks.
    C.Social networks successfully fill the generation gap.
    D.Social networks offer parents a motivation to educate themselves.
    (2)What maybe the reason for teenagers to refuse a parent's friend request?

    A.They hide something from their parents.
    B.Their parents make negative comments on them.
    C.They are unwilling to be watched by parents.
    D.Their parents tend to fall behind in technology.
    (3)What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?

    A.How to use the social networks correctly.
    B.How do social networks affect people's life.
    C.Why do most of teenagers refuse their parents' friend requests.
    D.How to reduce the unpleasant influence of refusing parents' friend requests.
    (4)What is the best title of the passage?

    A.Parents' Friend Requests.
    B.Privacy Online.
    C.The Importance of Relationship.
    D.The Development of Social Networks.
