I call this strategy WIIFM （Whats in it for me? ）. When a teen can combine an und

27、erstanding of WIIFM with a sense of passion about achieving a goal, barriers will start to fall away. At our teen summer camps, we arrange an event near the end of the 10-day session that helps campers identify an important life goal and mentally break through their biggest barrier to achieving the

28、goal. We pass around 12-by-12-inch pine boards. We tell campers that this activity is not about breaking a piece of wood. Its about how you can get what you want in your life. Its about breakingbarriers to grab on to your goals. They have the power to break through any barrier. It has nothing to do

29、with body size or physical condition. The skinniest, smallest teens will break through the board almost as easily as the big ones. We talk to the campers about the reasons they might have had for not reaching their goals in the past. Maybe they got lazy and decided it wasnt worth the effort. Maybe t

30、hey failed and let their fear of failure hold them back. But this exercise is about putting the past where it belongs. Today is about making new choices. By this point in the program, we ask them to think of the goal theyve set or themselves and write their goals on the boards. Then they write the p

31、ossible obstacles which may hold them back on the opposite sides. An inch of pine now stands between them and their dreams. The facilitators and their teammates gather around. The support is strong. One by one, they break through the barriers and grab their goals! All around us teens are laughing, c

32、rying, hugging, and holding up the broken pieces of their boards. The confidence shown on their faces is beautiful. While arranging such an activity in ones home is almost unrealistic for parents, the value of helping a teen break through a personal hairier simply by being there as moral support can

33、 not be overestimated. More help for parents in the form of videos and articles is available at our website, in our blogs and in a monthly e-newsletter. 56.

Service Foods is so confident that they can reduce complaints, in fact, that the company is offering a series of mealtime c

36、omplaint-reduction tips. According to a representative of Service Foods, complaints can occur when busy cooks serve substandard, low quality meats. As products sit in packaging in the meat case at the store, the meat can age out too much. The natural flavor disappears, and it can be replaced with an

37、 undesirable strange flavor. According to Service Foods, complaints from children are common when you serve substandard meats. Kids may not have the words to describe why they dont like the meats, but theyre certainly willing to express their displeasure. By serving meats from Service Foods, complai

38、nts can be reduced. Service Foods meats are all natural and organic, meaning the meats have-no chemicals or water or colorings that could change the taste. And the meats are flash-frozen right after cutting, so they wont taste strange to your children. If youre facing different types of complaints,

39、Service Foods may still be able to help you. Some families have mealtime boredom. The same meals, served in the same way, week after week, can be incredibly boring and hard to look forward to. When it comes to these complaints, Service Foods has the answer right on the web. Just go to http: /www. se

40、rvicefoods. com and youll find a long list of recipes to try. Some of these recipes are made in demonstration format, so you can watch the video and get step-by-step instructions on how to prepare the meals. By following these recipes from Service Foods, complaints relating to boredom can certainly

41、be reduced. While Service Foods knows complaints at mealtime can never be totally eradicated, as picky kids will always be picky kids with concerns, the company is doing everything possible to deal with the problem and get cooks the help they need. 60.

The problems we had were the result of poor management and thoughtless employees. Your airline should be ashamed of treating it

45、s customers so poorly. On January 5, we arrived in Denver from Houston and checked in for our next flight. It wasnt long before the agent announced that our flight would be delayed because of a mechanical problem. The equipment was in Aspen, and they expected it to be repaired soon. Soon shortly tur

46、ned to much later, and during the delay, weather temporarily closed the Aspen airport. The weather cleared in Aspen and the plane took off very late for Denver. While it was in the air, the agent announced that the plane would be used for the next flight and that our flight was being cancelled. This

47、 cancellation struck me as being unfair. There was a mad scramble （争先恐后） as the 50 or so passengers scheduled for our flight fought for seats on later flights. When the dust settled, we were wait-listed on the 9-00 flight the next morning. We had to spend the night in the airport. Coming home was no

48、 better. Because of a mechanical problem, it looked like we would miss our connection in Denver. The agent assured us they would hold the Newark flight for us. Needless to say, the flight to Houston taxied out as we pulled into the gate. Arrangements were made for us to take the next flight, so we s

49、at in the airport for 5 hours. When we finally arrived in Houston, our skis were missing. As of this writing, the skis have not been found. Nothing you can do will make us feel better about our flights. If you are a responsible business, however, you will do what you can to see that passengers in th

50、e future are treated better. With great displeasure,Phyllis Dooley64. When Phyllis wrote her letter, she felt _. A. tired B. fooled C. annoyed D. ashamed65. What was Phyllis destination when she left home on January 5? A. Denver. B. Houston. C. Aspen. D. Not mentioned66. What happened to Phyllis on

51、her day coming home?A. She took a taxi to Houston airport. B. Her flight to Houston was cancelled. C. Her flight was delayed for five hours. D. She missed her connection in Denver. DIt is football time again. Currently, the qualifying rounds are being played to decide which countries will send teams

52、 to the next World Cup. Some Soccer is becoming more and more popular on a worldwide scale and these qualifying legs are causing much excitement. The game is popular at club level as well. Many fans go every week to support their teams, whether the event is a home or away one, hoping to get a result

53、. They all hope an attacking game, with a lot of goals being scored. Obviously, they do not want to see a boring, defensive match where the players are aimlessly passing the ball to each other. Sadly, not all the action always takes place on the ground. All too frequently, there is action in the sta

54、nds, too. Football supporters, most of whom declare their loyalty , by wearing their team colors, in the form of shirts, are not known for their quiet behavior. They are often very noisy, shouting noisy encouragement to their team and singing deafening songs. There is much rivalry between supporters

55、. Mostly, this is good-natured, but trouble can easily arise. Fans get angry if they feel that a referee has made a wrong decision, perhaps giving one of their team a red or yellow card unfairly, or perhaps failing to notice a foul committed by a member of the other team. When trouble breaks out in a football crowd, it can be difficult to control. Stadium officials
