11、 something that happened when I was four. I remember it clearly. Our loving family dog was nearing the end of his life. My father picked him up and put him in a little bed we had made for him. Our dog, my companion, whom we had cared for, bit my father when he attempted to help him. How could he? Wh

12、y? I couldnt understand it. I didnt like him anymore.I hadnt thought about that story for a long time but something that happened last week brought it back to me. I went to speak with a friend. When I knocked on the door, I met in an instant an angry look and a few harsh(尖刻的)words. When the door was

13、 slammed(砰地关上)in my face, I stood there shocked, and in a rush, I was reminded of my dog bit my father 20 years ago or so. What brought that story back was that same feeling of betrayal.Both stories taught me something the next day. You see, when I got up in the morning and was told my dog had died,

14、 it became clear to me that he must have been in great pain. For him to have bitten a family member, he could not have been himself. Much the same for the other story when I learned that my friends wife had just left him.We are all beings of our environments, our opinions and feelings. And all of th

15、ose things can cause you to say and do things that cant be understood by those who are not in the same situation with you.If you meet someone either behaving out of character or acting in a way that doesnt seem to fit the situation, put out your hand and be patient when you think it is least possibl

That could be a sign that your brain is getting rid of unnecessary information so that it can operate more efficiently, and help you m

19、ake better decisions.The researchers say there are numerous neurobiological(神经生物学的)studies conducted on how the brain stores information, a process called persistence (暂留). However, scientists also assumed that our occasional inability to recall facts was due to a are an the brain. In 2013, scientis

20、ts discovered that as new neurons combine with the hippocampus(海马区)a region of the brain that plays a significant role in learning and rememberingthey overwrite old memories, making them harder to access. There is also evidence that the brain weakens or removes connections between neurons, in which

21、memories are encoded.The scientists have a theory on why the brain spends so much energy erasing memories. They say what the brain decides to forget is determined by our daily life. An example is that our brains remember phone numbers according to the need. Instead of storing this irrelevant informa

22、tion that our phones can store for us, our brains are freed up to store the memories that actually do matter for us. They also believe that memorizing too much detail could prevent us from making good decisions.So the next time you are unable to recall a seemingly important fact, dont be hard on you

27、like getting kids to school on time or taking them to the doctor for checkupsEvans and Popova looked at the impact those cash transfers had on the family budget and whether or not they led to an increase in spending on alcohol and cigarettes What they found was that they almost always led to a reduc

28、tion in a familys alcohol and tobacco purchasesThe news may surprise some people, but its true, and the researchers have several theories about whyOne theory is that the cash transfer made things possible that once seemed impossible Investing in their kids education or buying healthier and more expe

29、nsive foods may be within reach now, but without the cash handout, these goals werent even a possibilitySo families cut back on other expenses (like alcohol and tobacco) to make those dreams a realityAnother theory is that people just generally seem to do what theyre toldIf they are given money and

30、told to use it for their familys welfare, in most cases, they will do just thatAnd that leads to the third theory: These cash transfers are usually given to women, and studies show that when women control the purse strings, more money is spent on taking care of their childrenWhatever the reason for

31、the trend, the data is clearfamilies that receive cash handouts dont waste the money on booze and cigarettes as was previously thought Instead, they typically use that money for the benefit of their familiesAnd thats money well spent1、The study proves that Acash transfers help poor families get what

32、 would seem unavailable otherwiseBcash should be given to poor people as a reward for something good for kidsCgiven cash handouts, poor people would spend the money on alcohol and tobaccoDpoor people would save the cash given by the government for emergency needs2、A cash transfer led to a reduction

J. was the most famous one in his town. I met him for the first time at a weekend leadership election. Whe

36、n I showed up, the community leaders gave me this overview of the attending students: “We have all the students here today, from the student president to T. J. Ware, the boy with the longest arrest record in the history of town.”At the start of the election, he was standing against the back wall. He

37、 didnt really join the discussion groups, or didnt seem to have much to say. But slowly, the interactive games drew him in. The ice melted when the groups started building a list of positive and negative things that had occurred at school that year. T. J. had some definite comments on those situatio

38、ns. All of a sudden he was being treated like a leader. He knew something about poverty, hunger and hopelessness, and everyone was listening. By the end of the election, he had joined the Homeless Project team. The other students on the team elected him co-chairman of the team.But when T. J. showed

39、up at school on Monday morning, he arrived to a firestorm. A group of teachers were protesting (抗议) to the school principal about his being elected co-chairman. They reminded the principal, “Hell probably steal half the food.”Surprisingly, two weeks later, T. J. and his friends led a group to collec

40、t food. They created a school record： 2,854 cans of food in just two hours. It was enough to fill the empty shelves in two neighborhood centers, and the food took care of needy families in the area for 75 days. The local newspaper covered the event with a fullarticle the next day. The event he led n

41、ow collects 9,000 cans of food in one day, taking care of 70 percent of the need for food for one year.Maybe youve heard the saying, “A bird with a broken wing will never fly as high.” T.

45、elp them.A proper book classification system would be of great help in this regard, since most parents do not know which books suit their childrens reading levels the most. An effective classification system for childrens books would help overcome this problem.Chinese bookstores, online or offline,

46、still prefer to use age rather than reading ability to categorize what they sell. In fact, reading ability and interests vary from child to child even when they are at the same age. This early form of classification is accepted by most bookstores and publishers, yet many young readers get books that

47、 are nowhere near their targeted reading levels.China has at least 200 million children under the age of 14, and their enthusiasm for reading has increased over the years. The publishers of childrens books should try to introduce a juvenile-centered classification system to help their readers choose

48、 books that are suitable for their reading abilities.Some dont trust the call for more effective book classification, mentioning the need for youngsters to read extensively and avoid restricting themselves to one or two categories. There is a strong case for resisting selective reading, but not book

49、 classification, which is designed to help young children develop good reading habits and hold onto them in the long run.Studies have found that kids are less likely to be into reading if they have not developed such a habit before the age of 10. That said, it is in their best interests to adopt tar

50、geted reading during childhood, as this can greatly improve their comprehension abilities.
