But first， they have to know how. They may
10、find the following advice interesting and instructive. Encourage free drawing rather than coloring books. Coloring books stop the possibility of self-expression. A child may just enjoy colorful pictures and never learn how to express himself. As an art teacher says，“Children have a very powerful ins
11、tinct to draw freely and roughly. Such practice makes them learn language easily. ”In fact，a child expresses himself in rough drawing. This is the beginning of literacy and creativity. Also，parents should not teach their kids“how”to draw and they should not make their kids draw realistic pictures to
12、 entertain themselves. Experience tells us that such teaching from the parents will discourage children，making them think they cant do it the “right”way. Competition and rewards should also be avoided in the process of artistic creation. A childs natural instinct to create will disappear if he or sh
13、e thinks about prize while drawing. Parents should be role models for their kids. They should not say things like，“I cant draw a straight line. ”Instead，they should learn to say，“I love to create. ”This teaches children that the process of creation is more important than the product. If children see
14、 their parents drawing，cooking or building creatively，they will do the same. Buy a notebook for your child to use every day. This can be a journal for making up stories，writing ideas and drawing pictures. Even the youngest child can use it to draw freely and roughly，expressing himself. Take your chi
15、ld to places that promote ideas and creativity. Art museums，science centers，libraries and childrens museums all are great places to see other peoples creativity. That will inspire children to make their own creations and inventions. Give children choices and free time. Some of the best ideas come fr
16、om daydreaming and imagining. In short，parents should allow their kids to have the freedom to invent for themselves. That means not always teaching and commanding. 21 To develop their artistic creativity，children should be encouraged to_.（A）draw freely and roughly（B） learn to draw realistic pictures
17、（C） know how to draw before they start（D）learn to draw good pictures to get prizes22 Parents are encouraged to be role models for their kids because_.（A）parents love to create（B） parents can draw straight lines（C） children tend to follow their parents examples（D）children like the product of their pa
18、rents creativity23 It can be inferred from the passage that in artistic creation_.（A）product is more important than process（B） process is more important than product（C） process and product are equally important（D）both process and product are unimportant24 To be inspired by other peoples creativity，c
19、hildren should_.（A）write ideas（B） make up stories（C） buy good notebooks（D）visit museums，libraries，and science centers25 The main idea of this passage is that_.（A）children should be encouraged to draw freely（B） children should follow their parents examples（C） parents should know how to cultivate thei
20、r kids creativity（D）most parents teach their kids confidently and instructively25 It is often said that politeness costs nothing. In fact，it seems that a little more politeness could save businesses 5 billion every year. Frequently hearing the phrase“thank you”or“well done”means the same to staff as
21、 a modest pay rise. Praise and encouragement also makes employees more likely to work hard and stay in their jobs. In this way the business companies can save the cost of finding new employees. A third of 1,000 workers surveyed by a consulting firm said they did not get thanked at all when they did
22、well-and a further third said they were not thanked enough. In both cases. staff said they felt undervalued，meaning they were less likely to exert themselves and were more likely to look for employment elsewhere. The result of the survey shows that there would be around 5.2 billion loss in productiv
23、ity if the employees felt less appreciated. According to the firm，praising staff has the same positive effect as a 1 per cent pay rise-and works out much cheaper for bosses. Three out of four employees said that regular acknowledgement by their bosses was important to them，but only a quarter said th
24、ey were actually given as much praise as they felt they needed. The survey found that those in blue-collar and manual jobs were less likely to be given any recognition for doing well. But it seems that they most need such praise. In regional terms，Scottish staff felt most undervalued. Four out of te
25、n workers said they were never thanked and eight out of ten said they would like more praise. However. workers in the North-East are less impressed by being praised by the boss，as only 69 per cent said they felt the need to be told“well done”regularly. Older employees and women need the most reassur
26、ance，according to psychologist Averil Leimon. She said that words of praise did more than creating a pleasant place to work-they could even promote profits. 26 The survey indicates that politeness could save businesses a huge amount of money every year because_.（A）politeness makes employees expect p
27、ay rise（B） politeness is less likely to make staff work harder（C） politeness helps employers find proper employees（D）politeness helps employers reduce the cost of staff employment27 Workers doing well but not getting thanks from their bosses will probably_.（A）leave for jobs elsewhere（B） work harder
28、to get praise from their bosses（C） exert themselves in their work to get pay rise（D）work harder to get encouragement from their bosses28 According to the survey，_of the employees believed they were praised as much as expected.（A）25%（B） 30%（C） 40%（D）75%29 The survey shows that those who do not pay mu
29、ch attention to praise are_.（A）staff from Scotland（B） Workers in North-East（C） older and women employees（D）employees of blue-collar and physical jobs30 It can be concluded from the passage that（A）blue-collar employees are expecting more pay rise（B） pleasant workplace could promote business profits（C
30、） pay rise is an important motivation for manual workers（D）words of praise could possibly increase business profits30 A centuries-old tradition，illustrated in a modem childrens book. 1inks the sweetness of honey with the joy of learning to read. “The grandpa held a jar of honey so that all the famil
31、y could see. He then dipped a spoon into it and put some honey on the cover of a small book. The little girl had just turned five. Stand up，little one，he asked the girl softly. I did this for your mother，your uncles，your older brother ，and now you! Then，he handed the book to her. Taste! She touched
32、the honey with her finger and put it into her mouth. Whats that taste?the grandpa asked. The little girl answered，Sweet!

33、! The little girl knew that the promise to read was at last hers. Soon she was going to learn to read. ” This is the beginning of a profoundly moving childrens book entitled Thank You，Mr. Falker. In this book ，Patricia Polacco writes of her own passion to read， inspired by the honey on the book. It
34、wasnt until fifth grade that she met her beloved teacher who provided the hlep that she needed to finally unlock the magic of the written word. Reading this book，we are in fact acquainted with some enduring traditions of child education that stress the importance of verbal capacity at a very early a
35、ge. The child learning to read is admitted into a collective memory by way of books. And with the printed words that are active with meaning，the child becomes acquainted with a common past which he or she renews，to a greater or lesser degree，in every reading. Much as the author of the book Thank You
36、，Mr. Falker puts it，“Almost as if it were magic，or as if light poured into her brain，the words and sentences started to take shape on the page as they never had beforeAnd she understood the whole thingThen she went into the living room and found the book on a shelf，the very book that her grandpa had
37、 shown her so many years ago. She spooned honey on the cover and tasted the sweetnessThen she held the book，honey and all，close to her chest.
