It does not

22、help them build self-confidence. Most parents and teachers agree that praise can help increase childrens self-confidence the more, the better. However, according to some researchers, only proper praise is good for children. If adults praise everything children do, it makes children look for praise a

23、ll the time, not trying to do their best. "Teachers should not say things like 'good job or 'nice work whenever a child does anything. They should encourage them to continue to improve," some researchers advise.Another idea is that children with high self-confidence are happier, an

24、d do better at school. About this, Marshall Duke, a researcher in children, says, "High self-confidence brought in by too much praise does not make children happier, get more, or become able to do more. Finding a childs advantages (强项) and developing them can help build confidence more than too

25、 much praise can." Praise also loses its effect (影响) if it is given equally to all students."Its important to tell children the truth about what theyve done. Honest feedback (反馈) is far better than empty praise," Duke adds. "People have got into the habit of not telling children

30、h self-confidence are like.B12-year-old John Thomas Robertson is a born train fan. "Ive liked trains probably from the day I was born," he told Good Morning America. "When I was very little," he said, "my grandpa got me a train model. I would just watch it go round for hours

31、 and hours."When Robertson finally had the opportunity to ride on a train, he felt great. His journey was so mind-blowing that he couldnt keep it to himself: he decided to take all his classmates to go on a ride with him. When he found that some of his classmates couldnt pay the fare, he collec

32、ted cans (罐子) and bottles and raised more than $1,000 for them. That trip was such a happy one that he made it a yearly action. "It never gets boring for some reason; its just fun," he said. "It really lets people get away from their busy life and have fun."Every October, Roberts

33、on takes a new group of children to ride on the train but now, he has a problem. Several disabled children were refused because the train was not accessible (可用的) to disabled people. "He was angry to think that children of his own age couldnt ride a train," his mother said.But he wouldnt s

38、ng D. lazy but kindCYou are given many opportunities in life to choose to be a victim or creator. When you choose to be a victim, the world is a cold and difficult place. “They” did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering. “They” are wrong and bad, and life is terrible as long as “

39、they” are around. Or you may blame yourself for all your problems, thus internalizing(内化)your victimization. The truth is, your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others.Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently. They know there are i

40、ndividuals who might like to control their lives, but they dont let this get in the way. They know they have their weaknesses, yet they dont blame themselves when they fail.

Victims relish (沉溺)in anger, guilt, and other

42、 emotions that cause others-and even themselves-to feel like victims, too. Creators consciously choose love, inspiration, and other qualities which inspire not only themselves, but all around them. Both victims and creators always have choice to determine the direction of their lives.In reality, all

43、 of us play the victim or the creator at various points in our lives. One person, on losing a job or a special relationship, may feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into terrible suffering for months, years, or even a lifetime. Another with the same experience may choose to first experien

44、ce the grief, then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful creative force in his life.In every moment and every circumstance, you can choose to have a fuller, richer life by setting a clear intention to transform the victim within, and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that y

50、ses also made of ice.A cool place to host a memorable wedding or for a romantic getaway, the Quebec Ice Hotel has attracted 600,000 curious tourists, including 30,000 who stayed overnight, since opening seasonally 11 years ago. Like Victoria and Jeremy Martin, dozens of couples will exchange vows (誓

51、约) this winter in a temporary church next to the hotel, sculpted entirely from blocks of ice with seats covered in furs. Average temperatures fall below minus 20 degrees C (minus four F) in winter, but inside the hotel's 36 rooms it is relatively cozy. Thick walls of packed snow and ice act as a

52、n insulator, trapping body heat inside. Each room is uniquely decorated, using designs created by Quebec architecture students. Two hotel bars also sell special cocktails in ice glasses. First-time guests of the hotel, however, are recommended to stay only one night as sleeping in sub-zero temperatu
