One of their greatest desires was to raise decent, loving children who had an opportunity to finish college.My brother, Gene, never hesitated to learn new things. He had an artistic hand
19、, so he went into fine arts for a while. He also did a lot of screens about computers. He became so good at it that the school hired him to teach there after he completed his studies. My younger brother also pursued computers, following in his footsteps.Gene did not have a history of any health prob

The meaning of life consists in its dedication, not its length.CA simple gesture can be formed into a childs memory so quickly that it will cause the child to give
27、a false answer to a question accompanied by that gesture. A new finding suggests that parents, social workers, psychologists and lawyers should be careful with their hands as well as their words.While memories of both adults and children are easy to react to suggestions, those of children are known
28、to be particularly influenced, said lead researcher Sara Broaders of Northwestern University. Kids are used to 5looking to adults to tell events for them and can be misled even if not intentionally.Previous research, for example, has shown that detail-loaded questions often cause false answers. When
29、 asked, say “Did you drink juice at the picnic?” the child is likely to say “yes” even if no juice had been available. It is not that the child is consciously lying, but rather the detail is quickly formed into his or her memory.To avoid this problem, social workers have long been advised to ask chi
30、ldren only open-ended questions, such as “What did you have at the picnic?” But an open-ended question paired with a gesture, briefly meaning a juice box, is treated like a detailed question. That is, children become likely to answer falsely.And it isnt just a few kids: 77% of children gave at least
31、 one piece of false information when a detail was suggested by an ordinary gesture. Gestures may also become more popular when talking with non-fluent language users, such as little kids, Broaders said as hand movements can impart meaning of unfamiliar words and phrases, it certainly seems reasonabl
32、e that adults would gesture more with children.In general, Broaders advises parents and other adults to “try to be aware of your hands when questioning a child about an event. Otherwise, you might be getting answers that dont reflect what actually happened.”28. According to the text, gestures _.A. h

37、ne that Im quite annoyed about because I really like the film. I mean, the songs are great, but do not give up your voice for a man.

Or where she got that apple? I say, I would never take food from a stranger, would you? And my kids
39、respond, No! And I think Im doing something right.”Bell, who played a Disney princess in Frozen, said she also used the story to illustrate issues about permission. She says that she asked her children: “Dont you think that its very strange that the prince kisses Snow White without her permission? B
40、ecause you cannot kiss someone if theyre sleeping!”Bell later responded to criticism on social media. To one user she wrote: “Everything is a message to our children, because they are sponges(海绵) that soak up everything and are learning how to be adults through what they see. I want my girls to see
