The jobs of the future have not yet been invented. 【小题1】 By helping them develop classic skills that will serve them well no matter what the future holds.

1. Curiosity

Your children need to be deeply curious. 【小题2】 Ask kids, “What ingredients (配料) can we add to make these pancakes even better next time?” and then try them out. Did those ingredients make the pancakes better? What could we try next time?

2. Creativity

True creativity is the ability to take something existing and create something new from it. 【小题3】 There are a dozen different things you can do with them. Experimenting with materials to create something new can go a long way in helping them develop their creativity.

3. Interpersonal Skills

Understanding how others feel can be a challenge for kids. We know what’s going on inside our own head, but what about others? Being able to read people helps kids from misreading a situation and jumping to false conclusions. 【小题4】 “Why do you think she’s crying?” “Can you tell how that man is feeling by looking at his face? If someone were to do that to you, how would you feel?”

4. Self-expression

【小题5】 There are many ways to express thoughts and ideas — music, acting, drawing, building, photography. You may find that your child is attracted by one more than another.

   One of the best feelings is opening the acceptance letter from a university. As we all know, college is expensive. Throughout most college students’ lives they had almost all their money given to them by their parents. But college is the time true responsibility begins. With the right information at hand, you can definitely get major financial assistance for college tuition（学费）.【小题1】

Some of the highest scholarships are given to college athletes, especially to the football player or baseball player, but do you know you can get scholarships for less known sports? 【小题2】 A senior year spent learning a new sport and perfecting the skills can lead to a full scholarship in college.

Most nonprofit organizations offer high scholarships to their volunteers. Try volunteering in your community, or a branch of major organizations. 【小题3】 It can be best to work for an organization that you are familiar with.

Try building a personal connection with someone at a scholarship society. Building a relationship through visits and phone calls can make you stand out of the crowd. Remember, these people go through hundreds of applications（申请）a day — and a personal touch can really make a difference!

It can never be too early to apply for a scholarship. Applying early is another way to stand out of the crowd. 【小题5】It can also be a numbers game. Applying early can lead to more applications altogether, and someone who applies to 100 scholarships has a much better chance!

   Even if your school provides healthy foods，it can be easy to give in to your desire（渴望）and pick a less healthy choice when you are feeling really hungry. How do you take control of it？【小题1】 Here are a few reasons for you to pack your lunch or snacks at least twice a week:

Do you ever wait in the lunch line only to find that when you get to the front，you don’t like what they are serving？So you reach for pizza again. 【小题2】 Bringing your own lunch also lets you control exactly what goes into the food you eat.

It does not hurt to enjoy an occasional（偶尔的）serving of pizza and hot dogs. 【小题3】 A packed lunch a couple of times a week means you can enjoy some favorites you might not find at every school—like your mom’s chicken soup or some crisp apples.

If you have a big game or activity after school，plan a lunch and snacks that combine lean proteins with carbohydrates（糖类）. 【小题4】

Pack healthy snacks so you don’t feel tempted to step off campus for a fast—food lunch，or hit the corner store for a chocolate and a soda！Put the money you save on such snacks aside.

In a word，whether you pack your lunch or eat in the cafeteria，what is important is that you make healthy choices. If you are concerned that your cafeteria does not offer enough healthy options，get involved in trying to make changes. 【小题5】
