26、How to Teach A Child to Ride A Bike?

You never forget how to ride a bike, but most of us forget how hard it was to learn. 【1】. Here’s what to keep in mind when instructing little ones from two feet to two wheels.

Begin with the right equipment. Start with a bicycle that’s the right size. A newbie should be able to sit on the seat with both feet flat on the ground. If the child has been using a bike with training wheels, remove them. 【2】. Long pants and long-sleeved shirts aren’t a bad idea, either, to prevent injury in the event of a fall.

【3】. Head to a location that has smooth, flat, open pavement and little or no traffic to distract or endanger your child. It helps if there’s no one around, too, so he won’t feel self-conscious. The ideal spot? A school parking lot on the weekend.

Emphasize the basics. The fundamentals of biking are balance, coasting, pedaling, and steering. To help a child learn these basic skills, remember to show how to do that in the flesh and dare to let him try. No doubt there will be more than a few stops and starts and maybe even a fall or two. 【4】.

Now practice a lot. After a fair number of dry runs, it’s time to move to the big stage. Find a bike path or a little-travelled street in a residential neighbourhood. 【5】. Bike along with him to check that he’s using proper safety techniques and feels comfortable pedaling in traffic.

A．Find a safe spot to learn

B．Go to practice with the child

C．Encourage him to slow down and go on

D．Show him how to share the road with cars

E．A good-quality, well-fitting helmet is also a must

F．That’s why the experience of teaching children to ride can be frustrating

G．But eventually, he will manage to ride a fair stretch without stopping or falling

27、   International governments’ inaction concerning sustainable development is clearly worrying but the proctive（主动出击的）approaches of some leading-edge companies are encouraging. Toyota, Wal-Mart, DuPont, M&S and General Electric have made tackling environmental wastes a key economic driver.

DuPont committed itself to a 65% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in the 10 years prior to 2010. By 2007, DuPont was saving $2.2 billion a year through energy efficiency, the same as its total declared profits that year. General Electric aims to reduce the energy intensity of its operations by 50% by 2015. They have invested heavily in projects designed to change the way of using and conserving energy.

Companies like Toyota and Wal-Mart are not committing to environmental goals out of the goodness of their hearts. The reason for their actions is a simple yet powerful realization that the environmental and economic footprints fit well together. When M&S launched its “Plan A” sustainability programme in 2007, it was believed that it would cost over £200 million in the first five years. However, the initiative had generated £105 million by 2011/12.

When we prevent physical waste, increase energy efficiency or improve resource productivity, we save money, improve profitability and enhance competitiveness. In fact, there are often huge “quick win” opportunities, thanks to years of neglect.

However, there is a considerable gap between leading-edge companies and the rest of the pack. There are far too many companies still delaying creating a lean and green business system, arguing that it will cost money or require sizable capital investments. They remain stuck in the “environment is cost” mentality. Being environmentally friendly does not have to cost money. In fact, going beyond compliance saves cost at the same time that it generates cash, provided that management adopts the new lean and green model.

Lean means doing more with less. Nonetheless, in most companies, economic and environmental continuous improvement is viewed as being in conflict with each other. This is one of the biggest opportunities missed across most industries. The size of the opportunity is enormous. The 3% Report recently published by World Wildlife Fund and CDP shows that the economic prize for curbing carbon emissions in the US economy is $780 billion between now and 2020. It suggests that one of the biggest levers for delivering this opportunity is “increased efficiency through management and behavioural change”-in other words, lean and green management.

Some 50 studies show that companies that commit to such aspirational goals as zero waste, zero harmful emissions, and zero use of non-renewable resources are financially outperforming their competitors. Conversely, it was found that climate disruption is already costing $1.2 trillion annually, cutting global GDP by 1.6%. Unaddressed, this will double by 2030.

【1】What does the author say about some leading-edge companies?

A.They operate in accordance with government policies.

B.They take initiatives in handling environmental wastes.

C.They are key drivers in their nations' economic growth

D.They are major contributors to environmental problems.

【2】What motivates Toyota and Wal-Mart to make commitments to environmental protection?

A.The goodness of their hearts.

B.A strong sense of responsibility.

C.The desire to generate profits

D.Pressure from environmentalists.

【3】Why are so many companies reluctant to create an environment-friendly business system?

A.They are bent on making quick money

B.They do not have the capital for the investment.

C.They believe building such a system is too costly.

D.They lack the incentive to change business practices.

【4】What is said about the lean and green model of business?

A.It helps businesses to save and gain at the same time

B.It is affordable only for a few leading-edge companies.

C.It is likely to start a new round of intense competition

D.It will take a long time for all companies to embrace it.

【5】What is the finding of the studies about companies committed to environmental goals?

A.They have greatly enhanced their sense of social responsibility.

B.They do much better than their counterparts in terms of revenues

C.They have abandoned all the outdated equipment and technology.

D.They make greater contributions to human progress than their rivals

29、Educating children to have good manners maybe a difficult task for all the parents. You may know that children are easier to learn when you make something fun. So you tried to dress up like a clown(小丑) to draw their attention but it didn’t work. Making something fun does not mean that you have to entertain (使某人快乐) your children. What I have found is that tapping into their interests will make anything fun. There are tools and materials from other people on how to develop children’s interests and teach them good manners.

A lot of popular characters such as Madeline, The Winnie Bears and Barbie have DVDs and books about manners. I have used all of these DVDs in my classes, and they not only keep children’s interests, but also the children use the good manners that they learn from their favorite characters.

If your children are interested in sports, princesses, superheroes, or dinosaurs, you can use their favorite heroes (real or imaginary) as good examples to teach them, from meeting and greeting, to how to set a table.

Elise McVeigh is an etiquette (礼节) expert for Barbie Princes Charm School DVD, as well as a contributor to Parents. com. She is the mother of three children whom she raises with her husband in Dallas. Her three polite children are influenced by her great achievements and good manners from a very young age. So, the most important thing is that you should not forget to use your good manners, because you are your children’s biggest hero. Acting and being like you is what they are truly interested in.

【1】What does the underlined phrase “tapping into” in paragraph 1 probably mean?

A．realizing something.

B．making use of something.

C．giving no care to something.

D．looking forward to something.

【2】How does the author teach each students in class according to paragraph 2?

A．By dressing up like a funny clown.

B．By thinking of ways to entertain children.

C．By using DVDs to keep children’s interests.

D．By buying a lot of books about manners.

【3】why is the expert named Elise McVeigh mentioned?

A．To show some respect for her.

B．To give an example of how to be successful.

C．To introduce some of her books on manners.

D．To advise parents to set an example to children.

【4】Which of the following is the proper title for the passage?

A．Children’s interests: a key factor in teaching good manners for parents

B．Children’s receiving education: a remaining difficult task for parents’ interest

C．Children’s interest-forming: of great importance for both children and parents

D．Children’s character-choosing: an issue worthy of parents’ attention
