There was homework to do, sports to p

11、lay and fun to have. But our parents probably persuaded us to find a job to earn some money and get some life experience. When I was a teenager I delivered newspapers to peoples homes. I then progressed to a Saturday job in a supermarket: stacking shelves and working at the checkout. Today in the UK

12、 you are allowed to work from the age of 13, and many children do take up part-time jobs. Its one of those things that are seen almost as a rite of passage(成人儀式). Its a taste of independence and sometimes a useful thing to put on your CV(簡歷). Teenagers agree that it teaches valuable lessons about wo

13、rking with adults and also about managing their money. Some research has shown that not taking up a Saturday or holiday job could be deleterious to a person later on. A 2015 study by the UK Commission on Employment and Skills found that not participating in part-time work at school age had been blam

14、ed by employers organizations for young adults being ill-prepared for full-time employment, but despite this, recent statistics have shown that the number of schoolchildren in the UK with a part-time job has fallen by a fifth in the past five years. So, does this mean that British teenagers are now

15、afraid of hard work? Probably not. Some experts feel that young people feel going out to work will affect their performance at school, and they are under more pressure now to study hard and get good exam results and a good job in the long term. However, Geoff Barton, general secretary of the Associa

16、tion of School and College Leaders, told BBC News that Properly regulated part-time work is a good way of helping young people learn skills that they will need in their working lives.” In reality, its all about getting the right balance between doing part-time work and having enough time to study an

20、 will answer to your command. However, we may be sacrificing(犧牲) our privacy.According to a recent report by the Guardian, Siri can be accidentally triggered and start recording private conversations, such as discussions between doctors and patients. Some of these recordings are then given to worker

21、s outside the company to review. Apple claimed the data was used to help Siri improve, but users were not informed of this measure in the first place.Apples Siri is not the only voice assistant to come under fire. In 2018, Alexa, a voice assistant developed by US tech company Amazon, recorded a priv

22、ate conversation between a couple and sent it to a stranger without their permission.These issues deepened concerns that tech companies are listening and collecting data from private conversations, reported Forbes. Using this data, third party companies could then paint an accurate picture of users

23、habits and preferences in order to serve them more targeted advertisements, or even worse, sell this private data.Despite this risk, the popularity of voice assistant seems to be unstoppable. “In the near future, everything from your lighting to your air-conditioning to your refrigerator, your coffe

24、e maker, and even your toilet could be wired to a system controlled by voice,” commented The Atlantic.Colin Hogan wrote on the blog site Medium that he believed peoples daily lives will soon become a source of data. “The sounds of our homes, the symphony of life laughing, crying, talking, shouting,

There are many infl

30、uences (TV, movies, video games and some great books) in which lies are common. Children see parents lie to others, if only to be polite. Most parents add to that with tales about the lives and activities of Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy, or to lessen fears. _29_.The most common reactions to childr

31、en who lie are explaining why it is wrong and punishment. _30_.Here are three better tools supported by research to use instead.PRAISE: You could ask your child to say something that happened at school that is true. When your child obeys, praise him enthusiastically. Be specific(具體的): _31_and give y

32、our child a hug or a high five. Aim for one or two interactions like this a day. If you happen to “catch” your child in a lie, say something like, “That is not true and could get you in trouble outside of the home.”MODEL: Explicitly tell the truth. This could be about something that happened when yo

33、u were a child or something that happened during the day. It need not be dramatic. DECREASE PUNISHMENT AND MORALIZING: They are unlikely to change behavior or develop the conduct you want. _32_.Rather, use very mild punishment (light scolding, short loss of privilege, a brief time-out). More severe

34、punishments (shouting, taking away something for a week, hitting) are not more effective in actually changing the frequency of lying._33_.Usually they can be dropped by then. It is unlikely that lying will be completely removed, but with the right encouragement, it can be dramatically lessened.A.Tha
