26、A principle (原则) I learned back in the early days of computers was “garbage in, garbage out”. In other words, poor input (输入) leads to poor output. I think the same principle applies to our kids’ speech. If they have a steady diet of cultural “garbage”—harmful social media, or music, movies and books that are against your family’s values, we can be sure those “inputs” will leak out in what they say. No, we can’t keep our children from every negative influence, but we must always remember how input affects output and set proper rules.

In our home, this means we seek to provide an environment that contributes to our kids’ ability to communicate with love. Yes, we do monitor media influences and other sources of negative speeches. But more importantly, we aim to model calm, loving responses to life’s challenges.

When bad things happen, I try not to complain. When normal childhood accidents occur, I remember that although difficult, it is still easier to remove grape juice stains from carpet than to erase harsh (严厉的) and unloving words shouted at a child whose little fingers have failed her. And when I fail—when my children have witnessed unkind words, an angry temper—I will admit my mistake and ask for their forgiveness.

We may sometimes need to speak truth, but even if words are true and delivered in a kind, warmhearted tone, we rarely need to say everything that’s on our mind.

Remind your kids to keep their words gentle, respectful and brief. Sticking to just a few comments in a difficult conversation increases the chances that our listeners will be responsive to what we say. Too much salt destroys the dish, and it can also ruin a relationship.

【1】Which of the following is considered to be a diet of cultural “garbage”?

A．Negative influence from the media.

B．Addiction to computers.

C．Loud music or dull books.

D．Garbage thrown all around.

【2】What is the most important in teaching children to keep their words gentle and respectful?

A．Keeping them from negative influence.

B．Always telling them the truth.

C．Setting a good example to them.

D．Apologizing for your own angry manners.

【3】What will the author probably do when the children spoil something at home?

A．The author will shout at them.

B．The author will punish them.

C．The author will remain calm and speak gently.

D．The author will ask them to apologize.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A．Teaching kids good manners.

B．Forming good relations with kids.

C．Teaching kids the importance of respect.

D．Teaching kids the weight of words.

29、Michael Todd wore the same clothes every day for the first three weeks of school. He became the target of laughter, but there was little Todd could do. His mother simply couldn’t afford to buy him new clothes.

Two of the kids laughing at Todd were Antwan Garret and Kristopher Graham, a pair of freshman football players. But over time, they realized that their words seemed to hunt Todd’s spirit.

“I feel like I needed to do something.” Graham says. So he and Garet made a plan. They went home and hunted through their own closets (橱柜). The next day at school, they met Todd at their third-period class and asked him to come into the hall. Todd was worried about being called out by the boys.

“He wasn’t smiling, and I was like, I think this is going to make you smile,” Graham says. “I told him, We’re in the same third period, and I apologize for laughing at you. I want to give something to you to make up for it.” He then handed Todd a bag. Inside were clean shirts and shorts, plus a brand-new pair of New Balance sports shoes.

Todd was blown away. “I was very happy,” he says. “Shocked, completely.” And Todd got much more than a new closet. Now, he no longer sits alone at lunch. He eats with his new friends, Garrett and Graham.
