The “gardener”, 3 , is seldom concerned about controlling what the child will become and instead provides a protected space 4 (explore). The style is all about: “creating a rich, nutritious but also variable, diverse, active ecosystem”.
Gopnik, a psychology and philosophy professor at the University of California, Berkeley, said, “Many parents are carpenters, and 5 is really necessary for them to bring up their children.” She spent decades researching children’s development and finally 6 (find) that parents often focused too much on what their children would be as adults. The harm is that parents and their children may become 7 (anxiety), tense or unhappy.
“We’re so concerned about our children 8 we think have difficulty mastering their own future that we’re unwilling to allow them to 9 (free) explore the world.” she says. The truth is that the 10 (little) that parents worry about outcomes, the better their children may live in life.

Living a life with meaning and purpose is the key to improving your psychological well-being. Your purpose doesn’t 1 (necessary) have to involve changing the world or finding a career 2 (devote) to helping others. Instead, you might make it your purpose to be kind every day.
When you feel like your life lacks purpose, don’t worry. There are many ways you can find purpose in life and build 3 life that has more meanings. You can begin by thinking about the legacy (遗赠) you would like to leave behind. Write down how you’d like to 4 (remember) at the end of your life, or think about the impact you want to leave 5 the planet. Then, establish some 6 (objective) that can help you reach those goals. 7 (work) toward your goals will give you a reason, to get out of bed every day, beyond earning money.

I think we have experienced how infectious a smile can be and we are attracted by the energy of shiny happy people laughing. So 5 I appreciate there is not always something to smile about, I think that being able to smile at 6 (we) is a quality worth 7 (develop). Even an internal smile or a case of faking it until you make it is most 8 (definite) a good investment to develop a sense of 9 (satisfy) from within.
My new thing for the next month or so is to try and smile more often. Why don’t you try that too and let me know 10 you get on

Car registration plates (牌照) are just a series of numbers and letters, right Well, yes…but not for everyone.
France was the first country 1 (introduce) plates in 1893. Early number plates differed 2 shape and size, and were made of lots of different materials, including iron, cardboard and even pressed soybeans. In fact, it was not until 1957 3 car manufacturers and the governments agreed on standardized plates. 4 was first registered in the UK was A1.

At the moment, number plates 6 (consist) of a sequence of letters and numbers are applied in the UK.

I recently heard a story about a famous scientist. When he 1 (ask) why he was able to succeed, he gave the answer. It all came from an experience with 2 mother when he was about two years old. “I was trying to get a bottle of milk from the fridge 3 I lost the bottle and it fell, spilling (溢出) the milk all over the floor-a sea of milk! I got 4 (frighten) and I didn’t know what to do!” he said.
Instead of 5 (punish) him, his mother asked him to play in the milk for a while. Then she said, “You know, we failed in how to 6 (success) carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands just now. Let’s go out in the yard and fill the bottle 8 water to see if you can discover 8 way to carry it.”
This famous scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didn’t need to be afraid to make mistakes 9 were actually opportunities for learning something new. Even if the experiment “doesn’t work”, we usually learn something 10 (value) from it.

The silent killer—air pollution causes seven million premature (过早的) 1 (death) a year, not just in 2 (develop) countries but also in UK and the USA as well. In China，people are well aware of the health problems it brings.
I check every part every day. If it has heavy air pollution, I will prepare masks for my family. I dislike 3 when the air is bad. Because bad air makes it difficult for me to breathe and I think it does influence my 4 (perform) at work. A new research in China has also found a link between air quality and levels of intelligence. In the study, 25,000 people living across China 5 (test) in language and math skills last year. They found the results of those 6 lived in more polluted areas were 7 (negative) impacted, especially in languages. It adds to a growing body of evidence that air pollution has an effect not just on the lungs and heart 8 on the brain.
This research shows that the longer we are exposed to air pollution, the 9 (many) problems we’re storing up for later life. Campaigners hope this study will persuade the British government 10 (think) hard before it publishes its clean air strategy next year.
