  The world would have been so much better if we all knew to say and do the right thing at the right time.However, that is not the case, especially when it comes to instilling(逐步培养)proper behavior in kids.Behavior modification(BM)techniques were recently created to help in instilling proper behavior in children as well as adults.

  Behavior modification refers to establishing appropreciate behaviors in individuals and discouraging those that are not desirable.Behavior modification techniques are developed largely according to the principles of operant conditioning by B.F.Skinner, an American behaviorist.These techniques are used in behavior modification therapy that aims to correct and instill appropreciate behavior in children.

  The most commonly used behavior modification techniques are positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement and punishment.Positive reinforcement refers to reinforcing a desired behavior through the process of rewarding it.This can be done by praising the individual as soon as he performs a desirable behavior.Negative reinforcement behavioral strategies are based on the removal of a negative consequence or a behavior because the desired behavior was performed.For example, letting a child not help in washing dishes because he behaved well at a family gathering is a form of negative reinforcement.Punishment is something that we all can relate to.Yes, it is just what it means.However, when put in words, punishment refers to subjecting(使服从于)an individual to a negative condition because of an inappropriate behavior.

  The behavior modification techniques for children are mostly based on positive and negative reinforcement.However, parents should realize that these techniques can’t be relied upon totally for child behavior modification.Though the behavior modification techniques lead to quick results, a parent should continuously try to cultivate in his child the ability to appreciate the reason why such a behavior is expected of him.This can be done through effective communication and greater focus on the parent-child relationship.As a parent, don’t make the reward a monetary one.Try to make it look more like a privilege than a reward.

  A parent should also be consistent with his technique and apply it whenever there is a chance so that the child gets a clear idea of what is expected and what is not.Although we talk so much about the role of a parent in bringing positive behavior modification in children,both parents and teachers have equally important roles to play.Teachers play their role through preventive classroom management, teaching social problem-solving skills like alternative thinking, and continuous monitoring of a child’s behavior.It is true that there are various behavior modification techniques available for encouraging proper behavior in children.However, there is nothing that can take the place of proper parenting and an affectionate environment.

  “The Lord of the Rings”, one of the best-sellers in the new millennium(千年), was made up of three parts--“The Fellowship of the Ring”,“Two Towers”, and“The Return of the King”. Millions upon millions of people have read it in over 25 different languages, but fewer know about the author and the history of the composition of the creative masterwork.

  John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born in South Africa in 1892. His parents died when he was a child. Living in England with his aunt, Tolkien and his cousins made up play languages, a hobby that led to Tolkien's becoming skilled in Welsh, Greek, Gothic, Old Norse and Anglo-Saxon.

  After graduating from Oxford, Tolkien served in World War I. In 1917, while recovering from trench fever, he began composing the mythology for The Rings. As a professor of Anglo-Saxon in 1930s at Oxford, Tolkien was part of an informal discussion group called the Inklings, which included several writers. The group was soon listening to chapters of Tolkien's imaginative work “The Hobbit”.

  Hobbit was a name Tolkien created for a local people that could best Be described as half-sized members of the English rural(乡村的)class. Hobbits live in hillside holes. One of them, Bilbo Baggins, looks for treasures with a group of dwarves(侏儒). On the way, he meets the twisted, pitiful creature Gollum, from whom he sees a golden ring that makes the holder invisible.

  One of Tolkien's students persuaded her employer, publisher Allen & Unwin, to look at a draft(草稿). The chairman of the firm, Stanley Unwin, thought that the best judge for a children's book would be his ten-year-old son. The boy earned a shilling for reporting back that the adventure was exciting, and“The Hobbit”was published in 1937.

  It sold so well that Unwin asked for a continuation. Over a dozen years later, in 1954, Tolkien produced“The Lord of the Rings”, a series of books so creative that they hold readers--new and old--after their publication.

(1)What can we learn from the text?

  The world is running out of oil, and energy experts believe that there could be serious shortages(不足,缺乏)in ten years’ time.Not only is everybody using more oil than ever before, as the living standard(标准)rises, but the rapid growth of population means that each year many more people will be using oil in some form or other.Until recently we believed that oil would never stop flowing.It was so cheap and plentiful that the whole world came to depend on it.It seemed that governments did not pay enough attention to the fact that electricity came from oil and many power stations burned oil to produce electricity.It found its way into many of the products of light industry.Many people are surprised when they learn how many things in their homes contain oil.

  The increase in the price of oil has brought the world to its senses.Governments are searching for something suitable to take the place of oil, but so far nothing has been found.Instead, they are considering how they can make better use of the two other major fuels, coal and natural gas, but they have found that neither can take the place of oil in their economies.In recent years more and more attention have been paid to the environment, so coal is not a popular fuel with environmentalists.Coal mines are ugly, and their development has a serious effect on animal and plant life; so coal itself is a heavy pollutant.Natural gas, the cleanest of the three fuels, is, though, the most limited in supply.
