But first, they have to know how. They may find the followingadvice interesting and instructive.Encourage

11、 free drawing rather than coloring books. Coloring books stop thepossibility of selfexpression. A child may just enjoy colorful pictures and neverlearn how to express himself. As an art teacher says, “Children have a verypowerful instinct to draw freely and roughly. Such practice makes them learnlan

12、guage easily.” In fact, a child expresses himself in rough drawing. This is thebeginning of literacy and creativity. Also, parents should not teach theirkids“how” to draw and they should not make their kids draw realistic pictures toentertain themselves. Experience tells us that such teaching from t

13、he parents willdiscourage 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 she thinks about prizewhile drawing.Parents should be role models for th

14、eir kids. They should not say things like,“Icant draw a straight line.”Instead, they should learn to say,“I love tocreate.”This teaches children that the process of creation is more important thanthe product. If children see their parents drawing, cooking or building creatively,they will do the same

15、.Buy a notebook for your child to use every day. This can be a journal for making upstories, writing ideas and drawing pictures. Even the youngest child can use it to draw freely and roughly, expressing himself. Take your child to places that promote ideas and creativity. Art museums, sciencecenters

16、, libraries and childrens museums all are great places to see other peoplescreativity. That will inspire children to make their own creations and inventions.Give children choices and free time. Some of the best ideas come from daydreaming and imagining.In short, parents should allow their kids to ha

17、ve the freedom to invent forthemselves. 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(C).know how to draw before they start(D).learn to draw good pictures to get

21、d instructively2.It is often said that politeness costs nothing. In fact, it seems that a littlemore politeness could save businesses 5 billion every year. Frequently hearing thephrase“thank you” or “well done” means the same to staff as a modest pay rise. Praise and encouragement also makes employe

22、es more likely to work hard and stay intheir jobs. In this way the business companies can save the cost of finding newemployees. A third of 1,000 workers surveyed by a consulting firm said they did notget thanked at all when they did welland a further third said they were notthanked enough. In both

23、cases, staff said they felt undervalued, meaning they wereless likely to exert themselves and were more likely to look for employmentelsewhere.The result of the survey shows that there would be around 52 billion loss inproductivity if the employees felt less appreciated. According to the firm, prais

24、ingstaff has the same positive effect as a 1 per cent pay riseand works out muchcheaper for bosses. Three out of four employees said that regular acknowledgement bytheir bosses was important to them, but only a quarter said they were actually givenas much praise as they felt they needed.The survey f

25、ound that those in bluecollar and manual jobs were less likely to begiven 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 ten workerssaid they were never thanked and eight out of ten said they would lik

26、e more praise.However, workers in the NorthEast 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 reassurance, according to psychologistAveril Leimon. She said that words of praise did

27、more than creating a pleasant placeto workthey could even promote profits.26.The survey indicates that politeness could save businesses a huge amount ofmoney every year because .(A).politeness makes employees expect pay rise(B).politeness is less likely to make staff work harder(C).politeness helps

31、crease business profits3.A centuriesold tradition, illustrated in a modern childrens book, links thesweetness of honey with the joy of learning to read.“The grandpa held a jar of honey so that all the family could see.

35、nlock the magic of thewritten word.Reading this book,we are in fact acquainted with some enduring traditions of childeducation that stress the importance of verbal capacity at a very early age.
