I am a strong believer that if a child is raised with approval (认可) he learns to love himself and will be successful in his own way.

Several weeks ago, I was doing homework with my son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair. I kept asking him to sit down, telling him that he would concentrate (集中注意力) better. He sat but seconds later, as if he didn't even notice he was doing it, he got up again. I was getting angry, but then it hit me: I started noticing his answers were much quicker and right when he stood up. Could he concentrate better while standing up?

This made me start questioning myself and what I had been raised to believe. I grew up to believe that a quiet child was more likely to succeed. This child would have the ability to study hard, get good grades and become someone important in life. Kids that were active and loud would only be losers.

Now people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of DNA, and all they can do is loving and accepting them. As parents, throughout their growing years and beyond that, we need to guide them and help them find their way.

I have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate. Clearly, he is concentrating, just in his own way and not mine. We need to accept our kids, and their ways of doing things. There is nothing sweeter than seeing our children being themselves. It makes us happy and that's just the way I want my kids to live a happy life.

    For 30 years, Eddie Rankin has been driving his truck before dawn each Saturday, coming to create a treasured weekly routine for people who populated Woodley Park and who became his devotees.

    The tradition ended Saturday, when Rankin unloaded his last truck filled with fresh fruit and vegetables.

    “People will probably keep coming, but it won't be the same,” said Kate Shawcross, one of Rankin's first customers. “He knows your children's names and where they go to school—he's just the classic good neighbor, and here in Washington, we need some of that. ”

    Rankin was a farmers market pioneer, who got into farming by accident, said Bernadine Prince, executive director of FreshFarm Markets. Rankin is the co-owner of Twin Springs Fruit Farm and has witnessed the explosion of American interest in fresh produce and locally grown food.

    “He's just one of those people who are interested in you as an individual and your tastes,” said Bernadine Prince. “Think about when you go to the supermarket: Who do you talk to?  Nobody. ”

    In 1984, a “farmers market” consisted of some peaches, apples and cherries that the typical American might have considered as overpriced. But Rankin drew customers charmed by his huge smile and agricultural knowledge. He remembered to set aside things you asked for, would cash your check if you needed bills and gave your 10-year-old child his or her first job.

    The people who came to Saturday's market sang to Rankin, presented him with poems about his influence on their lives and told stories of good deeds he had done for them.

    Many described coming to Rankin's market as a routine in their lives.

    Rankin said he is retiring because he wants to spend more time traveling to see his children and a sister back in Ireland. The children of one of Rankin's partners are taking over Twin Springs.

    He has a “fantasy,” he said, of using his knowledge to help fruit-growers elsewhere in the world.

    He has faith that others can keep the Woodley Park market going, that the role of a farmers market is now established.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

A. It sounds too good to be true. B. However, nobody is "perfectly fluent" in any language. C. Quick fluency is good if you have some sort of deadline. D. But have you ever considered what fluency really means? E. But does fluency have the same meaning to other person as it does to you? F. Unlike perfect fluency, native-like fluency is a reasonable and attainable goal. G. To assist you in determining what fluency is, I'll describe a few different types of fluency.

You might dream of fluency in this or that language, and maybe you have already achieved fluency in a foreign language.

Fluency, like all abstract terms, has no universal meaning. Each individual must determine what the term means.

Perfect fluency means knowing each word you encounter, speaking quickly, clearly and easily and having no accent.  You aren't familiar with every word of your native language, and sometimes you have to search for the right word, even in your mother tongue.

 Quick fluency is the type of fluency you see in advertisements, because "Master a Language in 2 Months!" sounds very catchier than "Fluency in 20 Years!"  It is possible to achieve quick fluency, but the fluency achieved after such a short time frame will be a very thin, superficial fluency.

 Native-like fluency means that you generally know all the same words that a native knows and can speak at the same pace with the same amount of ease as a native speaker. You will likely have an accent, but as long as your conversation partner can understand you, it doesn't matter.

Literary fluency is like graduating from native-like to educated-native-like fluency. It focuses on the more intellectual side of a language: including in literature, attending university, composing song lyrics, etc.

There are a ton of other things that fluency could potentially be, but that's up to you to figure out.

Do you think you have what it takes to be a successful scientist? A successful scientist is generally a good observer. He makes full 1 of the facts he observes. He doesn't accept ideas which are not 2 on obvious facts, and therefore 3 to accept authority as the only truth. He always checks ideas 4 and makes experiments to prove them.

The rise of modern science may perhaps be considered to 5 as far back as the time of Roger Bacon, the wonderful philosopher of Oxford, who lived between the years 1214 and 1292. He was probably the first in the Middle Ages to 6 that we should learn science 7 observing and experimenting on the things around us, and he himself 8 many important truths.

Galileo (1564－1642), 9 ，who lived more than 300 years later, was the greatest of several great men in Italy, France, Germany, and England, who began to show how many important 10 could be discovered by observation by degrees. Before Galileo, learned men believed that large bodies 11 more rapidly towards the earth than small ones, 12 Aristotle said so. But Galileo, going to the 13 of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, let fall two 14 stones and proved Aristotle was wrong. It is Galileo's 15 of going direct to nature, and proving our 16 and theories by experiment, that has 17 all the discoveries of modern science.

What 18 those people good scientists? From the example of Galileo, we know clearly that 19 scientists are those whose observations have 20 better results.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

A painter living by painting portraits(肖像) was leading a poor life.

One day, a woman came by. She liked the paintings very much and asked the painter to draw a portrait for her. They agreed on 2,000 dollars.

Before painting the portrait, the woman asked the painter to draw more jewels. The painter curiously asked why, but the woman refused to explain. After a week, the portrait was done and the woman came to take the painting. At this moment, she hit on an evil idea of bullying the unknown young artist. She thought, "The portrait is me. If I don't buy the painting, nobody will buy it. Why should I pay so much money?" So the woman said to the young painter, "I will only pay 200 dollars for it."

The young man was surprised, for he had never come across such an experience. He argued with her, expecting this woman to keep to the agreement.

"I can only pay 200 dollars to buy the painting," the woman thought she would win for sure.

The young painter knew the woman broke her promise on purpose, so he felt annoyed. He said in a firm voice, "No, I would prefer to keep this painting rather than be humiliated(羞辱) by you. Today you break your word and some day you must pay 20 times for it."

"What a joke! 20 times will be 40,000! I won't be stupid to pay 40,000 dollars to buy the painting!"

"Well, we'd better wait and see," the young artist shouted to the woman who left angrily. After the stimulation(刺激) of such an incident, the painter moved out of this sad place, studied under acknowledged teachers and worked hard day and night. More than a dozen years later, he finally started a new way and became popular in the circle of art. However, the woman had forgotten the artist's painting and words the next day.

注意：

1）续写词数应为150左右;

2）请按如下格式作答。

One day, that famous painter decided to hold an art exhibition.

……

The woman went there hurriedly, apologised a million times and promised that she would buy her portrait as soon as possible.
