When something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, “Well, it’s so-and-so’s fault.” or “I know I’m late,but it’s not my fault; the car broke down.” It is probably not your fault, but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner’s key to success.
Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don’t rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.
This is what being a winner is all about—creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don’t have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “whose fault it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.

   Everyone can benefit from good communication(交流).【小题1】. Of course,we know that isn’t true,but this shouldn’t stop you improving your communication skills. Here are a few tips to help you become a better communicator.

【小题2】

Verbal(口头的)language is only one part of the communication—body language is another. If you once wanted to know how to tell if someone is lying,body language is the answer. Your body language tells other people what you aren’t verbally saying,such as if you are anxious,confident,confused,angry or in any other type of emotion or state of mind. If you become great at reading body language,it will help you become a better communicator.

Listen to others

Before you begin to speak,take a minute to see if anyone else has something to say.【小题3】 .Listening to others has many benefits,such as allowing you to learn new things or get the information that you may later need.

Think before you speak

Your parents probably have told you this since you were a child,but many people still do not take a moment to think about the words they are about to say.【小题4】. There is a time and place for all words and tones of voice.

【小题5】. You will have to practice your communication skills before you can become an excellent communicator.

A.This is not an overnight thing
B.Singing a song for them is good
C.Become fluent in body language
D.Don’t try to make the conversation go in your way
E.In fact,if everybody were excellent communicators,the world would be a much better place
F.If you are too anxious,you can’t look for the right body language to use in communication
G.You should decide what you want to get in a conversation before you choose your words

   Getting your children to stop lying is challenging. There are many influences(TV programmes, movies, video games and some books) in which lies are common. Children see parents lie to others, if only to be polite. Most parents add to that with tales about the lives and activities of Santa Claus.
Parents do this out of love, but for some children,lying can become a problem. The most common reactions to children who lie are explaining why it is wrong and giving them punishment. But as ways of changing behavior, these are ineffective.
However, what counts is to praise. You could ask your child to say something that happened at school and that is true. It is not important what that is. This is about practice. When your child obeys, praise him enthusiastically. Be specific like"That was great! You told me what happened just like I asked. Wow!"and give your child a hug or a high five. If your child says something true in the course of his or her day, praise that behavior too. Aim for one or two interactions like this a day. If you happen to "catch"your child in a lie, say something like "That is not true and could get you in trouble; it is better to say the truth."
Besides, you should set a good example for your kids and tell the truth directly. This could be about something that happened when you were a child or something that happened during the day. It need not be dramatic. Another option is to play a game at dinner. Each person tells one thing that was true that day. Again, give a little praise to the child who normally lies if he plays along.
In most cases, children are unlikely to change behavior or develop the conduct you want. That does not mean ignoring, lying or letting it go. Rather, use very mild punishments(light scolding, short loss of privilege(特权) or brief time out). More severe or long-lasting punishments(shouting, taking away something for a week, hitting) are not more effective in actually changing the frequency of lying.
Try these procedures for two to three weeks and see where you are. Usually the frequency of lying can be dropped by then. It is unlikely that lying will be completely removed, but with the right encouragement, it can be dramatically lessened.
【小题1】Which punishment is quite ineffective?
A.Brief time out.
B.Light scolding.
C.Short loss of privilege.
D.Taking away something for a week.
【小题2】What can we conclude from the passage?
A.Parents can tell lies sometimes.
B.Lying will disappear thoroughly.
C.Punishments cannot change behavior.
D.Praising parents a lot is beneficial.
【小题3】Which of the following could serve as the best title?
A.Is Lying a Problem?
B.Can Kids Stop Lying?
C.What Can You Do When Kids Tell Lies?
D.How Can You Punish Your Kids for Lying?
