“Now,” Mrs. Virginia DeView said, smiling, “we are going to discover our professions.” The class seemed to be greatly surprised. Our professions? We were only 13 and 14 years old! The teacher must be        36  . “Yes, you will all be searching for your future  37 . Each of you will have to  38  someone in your field, and give an oral (口头的) report.”
Each day in her class, Virginia DeView reminded us about this. Finally, I  39  print journalism. This meant I had to go to interview a newspaper reporter. I was extremely nervous. I sat down in front of him 40  able to speak. He looked at me and said, “Did you bring a pencil or pen?” I shook my head. “How about some  41 ?” I shook my head again.

    Finally, I thought he realized I was too 42 , and I got my first big tip as a  43 . “Never, never go anywhere without a pen or paper. You never know what you’ll  44  into.” After a few days, I gave my oral report totally from memory in class. I got an A on the entire project.

    Years later, I was in college looking around for a new career, but with no success. Then I  45 Virginia DeView and my desire at 13 to be a journalist. And I called my parents. They didn't  46  me. They just reminded me how  47  the field was and how I had run away from competition all my life. This was true. But journalism did something to me; it was in my  48 . And it gave me the freedom to go up to total strangers and ask what was  49 .
For the past fifty years, I’ve had the most satisfying reporting career,  50  stories from murders to airplane  51  and finally choosing my strongest area. When I went to pick up my phone one day, an incredible wave of memories  52  me and I realized that had it not been  53  Virginia DeView, I would not be sitting at that desk.
I get  54  all the time : “How did you pick journalism?”
“Well, you see, there was this teacher…” I always start out. I just wish I could 55  her.

In the era of high-tech today, face-to-face conversation is dying.
The New York Times published an article recently that shows great   36  for the “death of conversation”. It   37  that while technology such as cell phones, e-mails, and Internet posting makes us feel more   38  than ever, they’re also driving us away from people around us.
Users get final connectivity   39  the price of   40  face-to-face conversation. Sherry Turkle, author of the article in The New York Times says people are   41  to a different way of being “alone together”.
Actually,   42  text messages or writing micro-blogs allows us to   43  thoughts. But bits and pieces of online cannot   44  a “real conversation.” Lan Guo, 19, a freshman English major from Changsha University, said that she would like to hear people’s tone of voice and see their faces in a conversation. “The give and take of   45  in a conversation sharpens our minds.” she said. She also mentions that   46  ourselves in mobile technology reduces our chance of starting conversations with strangers and   47  people.
Turkle mentioned the popular   48  of “I share, therefore I am.” among this generation. Liu Xuan, a young writer from Taiwan and psychology graduate from Harvard University, thinks it’s an attitude   49  by most young people. They are   50  busy creating or polishing their online persona (网络人格) that they forget how to live a   51  life. 
However, experts remind us that it’s   52  to blame mobile technology. Chen Chen, a sociology expert at China Youth & Children Research Center, points out that   53  is still owners of tools who’re avoiding personal contact. We take advantage of these devices to hide ourselves from others. Texting messages or calling may be a(n)   54  to avoid contact with others, such as having eye contact. “Only by strengthening conversation can we understand each other.   55  throwing away the mobile phones is not a solution.” she said.

A wave of recent research has pointed to the risks of over praising a child. And it seems that how to draw a line between too little praise and too much has become a high-pressure _  _act for parents.
Self-esteem (自尊)  serves as a kind of tool to measure how much children feel valued and accepted by     . This sensitivity to others'      develops because of humans' need for social acceptance, which is considered to be      to survival. As early as age 8, children's self-esteem tends to rise and fall in response to feedbacks about      peers see them as likable or attractive.     , it can also be beneficial for kids to feel bad about themselves occasionally, if they behave in selfish, mean or hurtful ways that might      their ability to maintain relationships or hold a job in the future.
In the past, many parents and educators believed that high self-esteem      happiness and success, and kids could gain self-esteem simply by getting      and awards from their parents, teachers and people around. But recently researchers have found self-esteem doesn't  _   these desired results. Instead, if parents praise their kids     , their self-esteem becomes focused on being very smart and being the best and being perfect. Building too much self-esteem of the children can not go as planned, making them feel      later on when they hit setbacks (挫折).
According to some experts, it can actually be good for kids to have      self-esteem, at least once in a while. And praise can be      if it disregards the world outside the home. Children who have a      understanding of how they are seen by others tend to get recovered more readily      disappointment, depression or the like. The best path is a      road, helping children develop a positive but      view of themselves in relation to others by praising them for the      they invest and behaviors they are able to sustain, like "It's      that you're working so hard on your homework. "
