21、It is difficult for parents of nearly every family to teach their children to be responsible for housework, but with one of the following suggestions, you really can get your children to help at home.
If you give your children the impression that they can never do anything quite right, then they will regard themselves as unfit or unable persons. Unless children believe they can succeed, they will never become totally independent.
My daughter Carla's fifth-grade teacher made every child in her class feel special. When students received less than a perfect test score, she would point out what they had mastered and declared firmly they could learn what they had missed.
You can use the same technique when you evaluate(评价)your child's work at home. Don't always scold and give lots of praise instead. Talk about what he has done right, not about what he hasn't done. If your child completes a difficult task, promise him a Sunday trip or a ball game with Dad.
Learning is a process of trying and failing and trying and succeeding. If you teach your children not to fear a mistake of failure, they will learn faster and achieve success at last.

22、Four films to watch this December
■ Dune
Now at last we have a big-screen Dune that may actually do justice to Frank Herbert's science-fiction novel. Directed by Den Villeneuve, this is a sweeping epic (史诗) which runs for 155 minutes and still only covers the first half of the book. As space operas about young heroes on desert planets go, it may never be as popular as Star Wars.
Released on December 21 in the UK, and December 23 in the US and Canada.
■ Ron's Gone Wrong
The first feature-length cartoon from a new British studio, Locksmith Animation, Ron's Gone Wrong is a family comedy. The film's director, Sarah Smith, said in her post, “In our movie, barley ends up with Ron, who doesn't agree with him and they have to build this relationship from that point.”
Released on December 15 in the UK and December 22 in the US and Canada.
■ The French Dispatch
The writer-director's both film is his most Wes Anderson-ish ever. Beneath all these detailed plots is an combination of three short stories set in the fictional French town of Ennui-sur-Blasé, and supposedly drawn from the pages of a New Yorker-style magazine in the mid-20th Century.
Released on December 22 in the UK, December 25 in the USA and Canada.
■ Titane
For only the second time in its history, and for only the first time since 1993, the Palme d'Or at this year's Cannes Film Festival was won by a film directed by a woman. As a fascinating thriller, it follows a father who is reunited with the son who has been missing for 10 years. Even if it hadn't received one of cinema's top prizes, though, Julia Ducournau's Titane would be a must-see.

23、Do we still need cash? The days of holding dollar notes in our hands may be numbered. The advancement of technology of new electronic and mobile devices in today’s world is set to revolutionize how we make payments. With a swipe of a card or a click of a mobile-phone app, our entire wealth is literally at our fingertips. As digital forms are increasingly replacing cash payments, some think that we should become fully cash-free. However, I do not believe we should move towards a completely cash-free society.
One of the main concerns of a cashless world is the risk of fraud (欺诈) and ironically, the inconvenience that follows. Numerous incidents in recent years have warned us that the digital world is not completely safe, especially with regard to personal information parked online which are easily traceable. In addition, many online shopping sites lack strong fraud deterrence (威慑) systems that would protect their clients’ personal credentials. In a cashless society, a victim of fraud would find himself locked out of his account and unable to aces his funds until the case is solved.
Another reason we should not move towards completely cashless is that mankind might potentially become less thrifty. As it is, payments with credit cards have already eased that psychological pain somewhat.
Proponents of a cashless society agree that cash-free transactions (交易) could potentially reduce inequality in society by making financial transaction more transparent and reducing corruption, thus benefiting the poor. However, despite this promise, we cannot choose to ignore the fact that a large proportion of poor people in the developing world depend on cash to buy everyday goods such rice and vegetables that are priced at minute amounts. It does not make economic sense to host such transactions on a network.
The idea of society eventually going completely cashless is a very real, even an exciting one. However, to safeguard the interests of all users, it is better to reduce our enthusiasm—perhaps to be a less-cash society rather than a completely cashless one is a more reasonable option.
【1】What do we know about cashless world according to the passage?
A.Cashless world has no risk of fraud.
B.All people don’t support the idea of cashless payment.
C.Online shopping sites manage to protect their clients’ secrets.
D.People will get more psychological pain when paying with credit cards.
【2】What does the underlined word “proponents” in paragraph 4 mean?
A.Opponents.
B.Supporters.
C.Competitors.
D.Leaders.
【3】What is the best title for the passage?
A.No Cash, No Benefit
B.Cashless World
C.A Revolution of Payment
D.Going against the Cashless Wave
24、In the animal kingdom, weakness can bring about aggression(侵略)in other animals. This sometimes happens with humans as well. But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people. I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat. And I have discovered that it makes them happy.
From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, bur sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily. They don’t get to see this soft side of others often and we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending. But only when we stop pretending we’re brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that’s in them.
Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual. People behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside me, horning (按喇叭) or even shouting at me. At the moment I decided to do something I had never done in twenty years of driving. I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.
No more angry shouts and no more horns!
When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to other drivers, “I have a problem here. I am weak and doing the best I can.” And everyone understood. Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass. They couldn’t get around me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.
Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don’t feel that way. But more often, it would be better if we don’t pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared.
