When raising children, the small things make big differences in development . Because children are people, not machines, different children need different things, and buying band name clothing and having the perfect haircut or the biggest collection of expensive toys are not the kind of attention that they need. These kinds of things will make children feel rejected and teach them that material things and appearance are more important than love.

     Children need the attention from their parents. The areas of their lives and the abilities that get the most attention will develop the most. If the majority of parental attention is given to the way they stand or to finishing tasks, these areas will become more developed. When parents focus on finding faults, children will eventually take in all of that criticism. These methods often lead to unmotivated children with low self-esteem（尊重）.

     Children need attention to be given to the details of their lives. They need encouragement from their parents. Statements like, “It makes me happy when you play nicely with your brother” will make a child feel good . Identify the specific talent, how it is used, and your reaction to it. Train the young minds to search for their talents with the same kind of attention to the details that may have previously been devoted to fault-finding. It also helps to identify personal qualities to praise rather than external ones based on appearance.

     Focusing on the details when children do good things is important. They need to know exactly what they did was good and how it made you feel .Parents often spend too much time looking for faults. When parents focus on good things, it results in motivated children with high self-esteem. If the devil is in the details ,perhaps the saints(圣人) are also.

I live in the land of Disney, Hollywood and year - round sun．You may think People ,n such an attractive, fun - filled place are happier than others．If so you have some mistaken ideas about the nature of happiness．
Many intelligent people still think fun equals happiness．The truth is that fun and happiness have little or nothing in common．Fun is what we experience during an act．Happiness is what we experience after an act．It is a deep, long-lasting emotion．
Going to an amusement park or a ball game, watching a movie or television are fun activities that help us relax, temporally forget our problems and maybe even laugh．But they do not bring happiness, because their positive effects end when the fun ends．
I have often thought that if Hollywood stars have a role to play, it is to teach us that happiness has nothing to do with fun．They have constant access to exciting parties, fancy cars, expensive homes, everything that spells "happiness" But in memoir（回憶錄） after memoir, they expose Ac unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun: depression, alcoholism, drug addiction, broken marriages and loneliness．
Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying．If he is honest, he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment．For commitment is in fact quite painful．The single life is filled with fun, adventure and excitement．Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features．
Similarly, couples that choose not to have children are deciding in favor of painless fun over painful happiness．They can dine out whenever they want and sleep as late as they want．Couples with babies are lucky to get a whole night' s sleep．I don't know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children．
Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations we can ever come to．It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can truly increase our happiness．It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless．And it frees us from envy: we now understand that all those rich and famous people we were so sure are happy because they are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all．
【小題1】What is the passage mainly about?

A．Fun and happiness．
B．Success and satisfaction．
C．Marriage and commitment．
D．Entertainment and responsibility．
【小題2】The author probably agrees that ____．
A．fun creates long - lasting satisfaction
B．long - standing fun may lead to happiness
C．fun is short-lived while happiness is long-lasting
D．fun provides enjoyment while pain leads to happiness
【小題3】What does the author think of marriage?
A．It ends in pain．
B．It means commitment．
C．It affords greater fun．
D．It leads to raising children．
【小題14If one gets the real meaning of happiness, he ____．
A．will start a business
B．won' t place too much value on money
C．will seek for freedom
D．won't devote himself to his family

McDonald’s has been bothered by people blaming it for making them fat and by animal-rights protesters（抗議者）,  so it has responded with a good deed. It is telling its main meat suppliers to slowly stop using antibiotics (抗生素) by 2004.

       The fast food chain is one of the biggest US meat buyers and it may be causing an end to the age of dangerous overuse of antibiotics. The cattle industry began using the drugs in the 1950s and soon became a practice. Antibiotics can help fatten animals. Animals fed by antibiotics grow faster and so space is saved. That helps solve the problem of crowded condition on farms.

       Today, 70 percent of all antibiotics used in the US are mixed into animal feed. That amounts to 24 million pounds of drugs a year and good earnings for the companies that make the drugs.

       Humans eat the meat of animals fed by antibiotics regularly, and bacteria (細(xì)菌) in humans tend to develop immunity (免疫力) to antibiotics over time. So, doctors have to use larger amounts of antibiotics to cure bacterial diseases. Even more worrying, cattle that have been fattened with antibiotics can spread other infections that resist antibiotics to humans. The first time they are used, antibiotics wipe out most of their bacteria. But the few that survive begin growing toward drug resistance. And they may become more deadly in the process.

       The medical magzine Clinical Infectious Diseases has concluded that agricultural use of antibiotics “increase the number, cruelty and duration (持續(xù)時(shí)間) of infections.” McDonald’s worked closely with the nonprofit group US Environmental Defence and other organizations over the last year to try to cut out antibiotics. It is right to insist that farmers need to end a practice that harms animals and humans. With its 30,000 restaurants in 118 countries, the chain has real influence in the cattle industry.

       If consumers respond favorably, the rest of the fast food industry will no doubt follow. Obviously, there’s great publicity value in the McDonald’s action. This gives the company an image of environmental concern（關(guān)心）. It also removes customers’ focus from the fat and salt problem of its food. So the praise for stopping meat antibiotics is entirely worth the effort.

1. To answer people’s criticizing, McDonald’s has ______.

A. paid for the loss of the customers           B. stopped the practice for some time

C. turned to the law for help                       D. taken some measures to satisfy them

2. The basic goal that the cattle industry uses antibiotics lies in ________.

A. reducing costs   B. the popular taste      C. preventing diseases    D. its high nutrition

3. Paragraph 4 mainly tells us ______.

       A. the animals using antibiotics to speed up weight have two bad effects

       B. overuse of antibiotics can cause resistance of antibiotics to humans

       C. bacteria in humans will affect the immunity to antibiotics

       D. antibiotics might be stopped using in human life

4. The author _______ stopping the use of antibiotics when raising animals.

       A. is for                B. is against                  C. is uncertain about D. shows no opinion of
