Famous Brands
Why do we always buy certain shoes or clothes that have a famous brand? Why do we have to copy others? People we often admire the most are those who have their own styles.They don't want to copy someone else's.
Big companies give free products to famous people, such as sportsmen and movie stars.They intend to get people like you to buy their products.When you spend a lot of money on an expensive pair of shoes, they may not suit you.You might enjoy more if you buy something else at the same price! Besides the brand, you may want to know why they are asking that price.The brand may sometimes have nothing to do with the quality of the product.
It can be of bad quality and badly made.This makes you think why it has the designer’s name on it.It’s very important for designers to use their creative talent to make something beautiful.But today the making of money has become more important.So they just copy other products and their standards fall.
Creative products should be available to people at a reasonable price.In this way, big companies won't be able to dominate (控制) the market and encourage people to spend too much money on their products.
They are dominating the market by telling us what to buy.If you go into a toy shop or children’s clothes shop, you’ll find the whole section for girls is almost all in pink.Because of the domination of big companies, the original arts and crafts are beginning to die out.It would be a real shame if these arts were to disappear.

Self - esteem（自尊）and Body Image
Self - esteem is all about what people think of themselves.It is important because feeling good about yourself can affect how you act.People who have high self - esteem will make friends easily.They are more in control of their behavior, and will enjoy life more.
Some teenagers struggle with their self - esteem when they grow into adults because the body goes through many changes.Along with the changes comes a natural desire to feel accepted.What’s more, they can’t help but compare themselves with others.They may compare themselves with the people around them or with actors and other famous people they see on TV, in movies, or in magazines.
The physical changes can affect how both girls and boys feel about themselves.Some girls may feel uncomfortable about their growing bodies.Others may wish that they were developing faster.Girls may feel like being thin but boys may feel like they don’t look big enough.
It’s not just body development that affects self - esteem.Many other factors can affect a person’s body image too.Family life, for example, can sometimes influence self - esteem.Some parents spend more time criticizing their kids and the way they look than praising them.This can reduce kids’ ability to develop good self - esteem.Also their classmates and peers may tease them about the way they look.These sometimes can affect their self - esteem.
If there are things about yourself that you want to change, recognize that you can change, do this by making goals for yourself.If there are things that you can’t change, recognize that your body is your own.It’s no one’s business but your own how you see your body.Actually, to be happy with yourself,all you need to do is to change the way you see your body.

Helping Children Cope with Stress
① To adults, childhood can seem to be happy and free from worries.But children still experience stress.Things like school and their social life can sometimes create pressures that are too difficult for them to deal with.While they may not talk about their troubles, they do want their parents to reach out and help them.
② Children deal with stress in both healthy and tun healthy ways.As a parent, you can't protect your children from stress, but you can help them develop healthy ways to cope with stress and solve everyday problems.By doing so, you not only help your children handle their current stresses, but also prepare them to deal with future stresses.Here are a few tips for you.
③ When you notice that something is upsetting your child, you need to tell your child about it.If you can, name the feeling you think your child is experiencing.This shouldn't sound like blame.It's just a casual observation, and you're interested in hearing more about your child's concern.Be sympathetic and show that you care and want to understand.
④ Also ask your child to tell you what's wrong.Listen attentively and calmly-with interest,patience, openness, and caring.Don't hurry to make judgements.Do not blame or criticize your child for what he or she has done.The idea is to listen to your child's concerns and feelings.Try to get the whole story by patiently asking questions.Take your time.And let your child take his or her time,too.
⑤ Remember to be patient.As a parent, it hurts to see your child unhappy or stressed.But you should not try to solve every problem for your child.Instead, try to help your child grow into a good problem-solver-a child who knows how to deal with life's ups and downs,express feelings in words, calm down when needed, and never give in to difficulties.

The Coyote(丛林狼）
The coyote is a relative of the dog and the wolf.Like its relatives, it mostly feeds on other animals.It will, however, eat a wide variety of foods, including insects, fruits and vegetables.
Coyotes are found throughout most of North America, from Mexico and Central America to Canada and Alaska.The color of its coat depends on where it lives.__26__Like the wolf, coyotes live in groups, or packs.The coyote pack is usually smaller than a wolf pack.__27__ The pack will often divide into pairs to hunt.Female coyotes give birth to baby coyotes once a year Over half of the babies will die before they reach adulthood.Male babies usually leave the pack to find their own territory.__28__
Wolves and coyotes compete for the same animals for food.Since the coyote is smaller than the wolf,wolves will usually drive the coyote out of any shared living areas.
The coyote adapts easily to new areas.Unlike the wolf.the coyote's living area increased when more and more people settled across North America.__29__ Once the New England settlers eliminated wolves, the coyote moved in.Scientists who have studied the coyote believe it is better than the wolf at living in human areas.
__30__ They find enough supply of food in these areas, since coyotes are willing to eat garbage, rodents (such as rabbits and mice) and even small pets.Scientists estimate that as many as 2,000 coyotes may be living in the Chicago area.
