Hugging is an extremely positive form of communication. It expresses the values of love, approval, gratitude and forgiveness. Research shows that hugs have more positive effects on children and adults than just some encouraging words and a smiling face. Giving our child a hug on various occasions can make a world of difference in our young learner's lives.
On the first day of school, giving a hug coupled with a few calming breaths just might help your little learner overcome "The First Day Fears." By the way’ giving hugs for the first full week wouldn't hurt either. Hugs are relatively inexpensive and apparently very healthy.
It's the day of the class play and your kid is not so confident about saying a few words as a wild turkey in front of an audience. Giving a hug coupled with a few encouraging words just might help them feel more confident.
Usually, bedtime is the most frightening time of the day for most kids，who feel very stressed and may stay up. Giving a tight hug coupled with reading their favorite story or singing their favorite song may help them have a good sleep.
Besides, according to Intelligence Quotient Development in Children on eHow.com, "A caring yet inspiring environment is always helpful in promoting a child's language skills. Make sure your child gets plenty of hugs and kisses and hears positive and encouraging words from you."
Sometimes we get caught up in teaching, parenting, providing, and protecting our children that we forget to hug them. If there's one thing your child or student may need from you to help adapt their behavior or improve their IQ, it may just be something as simple as a hug.
A positive hug could change the course of the day for you both when you least expect it. So remember to hug your children often and put emotion behind it and really mean it!

85．________
While I was having dinner with a well-known author and lecturer, our conversation drifted to money．“I have enough money,” he told me casually．“I don’t need any more money．”
“Of course you can say that,” I thought to myself．“You get fifteen thousand dollars for a lecture．”
Then I caught my thought process, and pondered（仔细考虑）more deeply on his statement．Is he satisfied because he has a lot of money, or does he have a lot of money because he chooses to be satisfied?
I know people with more money than this man, and they still don’t have enough．And I know people with very little money, and they always have enough．So is enoughness something that happens to us when we reach a certain level, or is it an experience we can choose and celebrate at any time?
My friends Adrian and Carey live in a humble cottage in the rainforest．They have quite a modest income, no telephone, and they walk around naked most of the time．I think they are the happiest people I know．They wake up with the sun, love each other very much, and welcome guests with a full and open heart．They appreciate every moment of their lives, have no distraction games going, and are not waiting for the big break around the corner．When I am with them, the predominant（主要的）feeling I have is, “It’s all right here—why would anyone want anything more?”
Ram Dass used to say, “There are three kinds of people in the world: those who say, ‘Too much!’; those who say, ‘Not enough!’; and those who say, “Ah, just right!’”; Since “too much” of one thing implies “not enough” of another, there are really only two approaches to life: lack or contentment．
1．From the first paragraph, we can infer that the lecturer ___________．
A．was living a happy life B．was careless about his money
C．was satisfied with his life D．was rich enough to live a happy life
2．We learn from the underlined part that ____________．
A．it’s money that is of importance B．it’s not money but the attitude that matters
C．we don’t have to have much money D．we won’t have enough money in life
3．What does the author think of Adrian and Carey’s life?
A．They have no guests．
B．They have all they want．
C．They live a very hard life．
D．They live a very happy life．
4．Which of the following best suits the passage?
A．Nothing is better than a contented mind．
B．Where there is a will, there is a way．
C．Practice makes perfect．
D．Better late than never．
Who’s in control of your life? Who is pulling your string? For the majority of us, it’s other people – society, colleagues, friends, family or our religious community．We learned this way of operating when we were very young, of course．We were brainwashed．We discovered that feeling important and feeling accepted was a nice experience and so we learned to do everything we could to make other people like us．As Oscar Wilde puts it，“Most people are other people．Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions，their lives a mimicry（模仿），their passions a quotation．”
So when people tell us how wonderful we are，it makes us feel good．We long for this good feeling like a drug—we are addicted to it and seek it out wherever we can．Therefore，we are so eager for the approval of others that we live unhappy and limited lives，failing to do the things we really want to．Just as drug addicts and alcoholics live worsened lives to keep getting theirfix（一剂毒品），we worsen our own existence to get our own constant fix of approval．
But just as with any drug，there is a price to pay．The price of the approval drug is freedom--the freedom to be ourselves．The truth is that we cannot control what other people think．People have their own agenda，and they come with their own baggage and，in the end，they’re more interested in themselves than in you．Furthermore，if we try to live by the opinions of others，we will build our life on sinking sand．Everyone has a different way of thinking，and people change their opinions all the time．The person who tries to please everyone will only end up getting exhausted and probably pleasing no one in the process．
So how can we take back control? I think there’s only one way--make a conscious decision to stop caring what other people think．We should guide ourselves by means of a set of values—not values imposed from the outside by others，but innate values which come from within．If we are driven by these values and not by the changing opinions and value systems of others，we will live a more authentic，effective，purposeful and happy life．
1．What Oscar Wilde says implies that ___________．
A．we have thoughts similar to those of others
B．most people have a variety of thoughts
C．other people’s thoughts are more important
D．most people’s thoughts are controlled by others

A．Changing opinions may cost us our freedom．
B．We may lose ourselves to please others．
C．We need to pay for what we want to get．
D．The price of taking the drug is freedom．
3．It can be concluded from the passage that _________________．
A． it’s better to do what we like B．we shouldn’t care what others think
C．we shouldn’t change our own opinions D．it's importan
t to accept others’ opinions
4．The author tries to persuade the readers to accept his arguments mainly by ___________．
A．analyzing causes and effects B．providing examples and facts
C．discussing questions D．making suggestions
