18、ad powdered cocoa in our camp.

24、as visiting Yellowstone National Park. Last week, my mother and I went to Yellowstone National Park. Like most young people, when I go to a famous tourist attraction. I like taking selfies. While my mother and I were walking in the park. I saw a bison(野牛). It looked really huge. I thought it must be
25、 cool to post a selfie of me standing close to it on my Facebook page.

27、ome passers-by came to me, too. Luckily, my injuries were only minor.

31、ilot flew the airplane directly into a mountain on purpose. Now, experts wonder if removing pilots from planes would improve airline safety.

32、hat they want to believe theres somebody in the front who shares their own fate and thus if anything goes wrong, they will do everything they can to save their own lives.” She and other experts believe cargo planes (运输飞机)will be the first aircraft to fly over the U.S. without pilots.

33、rgo companies would go from two pilots to one, with a team of pilots assisting from the ground.

DIt has become common in recent years for parents to be warned about the dangers of praise. We are told that
40、 frequent praise, although planned to strengthen a childs self-confidence and self-esteem, may instead create increased anxiety and finally weaken their creativity and confidence. Many parent advisers are especially concerned, even shocked by empty praise Parents or teachers tell children that they
41、are wonderful or special when a child has not, in fact, done anything wonderful or special. In this view, when praise is cheap, children fail to learn the importance of hard work. The critics ask, how can children learn the need for effort and perseverance (毅力) when they are not challenged to do bet
42、ter, when they are given As for C work, awarded medals just for showing up, and only hear good things?My own experience and, I believe, a correct reading of the research on praise teaches a different lesson. In three decades of clinical(临床的) practice, I have met many discouraged, angry and unhappy c
