21、A star athlete at the college where I work recently stopped by my office. After committing a few unforced errors during a weekend match, she suffered severely by self-criticism.
This student, like many I teach, strongly believes she should be able to control the outcomes of her life by virtue of her hard work. In her mind, “Nothing can stop me but myself”. So when these students fall short of what they imagine they should accomplish, they are filled with self-blame, reasoning, “If my accomplishments are mine to control, my failures must be entirely my faults, too”, which makes it extremely difficult for them to move on.
We often owe young adults struggling with failure to their parents’ over protection of them from discomfort. But there is another factor at play—a message transmitted by indulging (纵容的) parents who have falsely promised them that they can achieve anything if they are willing to work for it. However, the cruel reality of life is that you can do everything in your power—and still fail. _______
Psychologists Luthar and Kumar urge parents and teachers to spend time helping students find purpose, or goals they genuinely love to pursue and that make an impact on the world, which may help them gain greater life satisfaction and become more psychologically mature. Besides, instead of allowing our kids to beat themselves up when things don’t go their way, we might all question a culture where one is considered lazy without full devotion. The point is to remind them that life has a way of sucker-punching (出其不意) us when we least expect it. It’s often the people who learn to say “stuff happens” who get up the fastest.

B.Actually there are some findings.
C.Then what should be done to help?
D.So experts have their own concerns.

A.To teach students how to avoid faults.
B.To lead students to set their truly loved goals.

22、When you are communication, you spend nearly 60% of your time listening to other people, but most people only remember 25% of what they hear. 【1】
Be more present. When you are listening to someone, put everything else aside and give your full attention to the person. Make sure you keep eye contact with the person at all times.
【2】 When you are listening to another person, try to think what they might be feeling or going through at that very moment. Sympathy for others can allow you to imagine yourself in the situation from the person's angle and see what you can learn from the discussion.
Ask more questions. Being a good listener doesn't just mean that you sit quietly and let the other person speak. 【3】 The more interested you are in what the person is saying, the better the conversation will be. The key is to let questions carry forward the conversation and to leave enough room for the person to continue talking.
Train your emotional intelligence. Your emotional intelligence influences your ability to listen to other people. 【4】 Learn to understand your own emotions, both negative and positive. Be aware of your reactions when you are listening to someone.
Make a note of the conversation. 【5】 You need to think about the key message of the discussion, and analyse what you and the other person have learned from it. So making an internal note of the conversation can help you further improve your listening as well as communication skills as a whole.

Hello, my name is Mike Smith. I was going to buy the river rat tubes for our trip but there was only one in stock(库存). I bought that one and two of these. They all worked perfectly. These are a great size for adults. We hit many rocks and low tree branches floating down a river, but all the tubes came out safely. This is an excellent tube. It’s durable and floats like it should. Great for both kids and adults.
