19、nd striking temperature differences. A few weeks after the chat, when new blossoms(花) began to appear on the trees, an idea occurred to Kates grandfather. If we couldnt take our daughter back this year, he would take the apples to us. He climbed the ladder, carefully examining blossoms. Those that f
20、ailed his examination were picked off the trees. When the blossoms grew into small apples, he covered each apple with a special bag consisting of three layers, which would protect the young apples from brown spots and also help them achieve an even coloring. Several weeks passed and the apples were

Professor Lancy has warned that mothers and fathers praise their children too readily, which does not adequately prepare them for modern
28、 life. In an interview, Lancy outlined our societys “WEIRD“way, which stands for Western, Educated, Industrialised, Rich and Democratic(民主的). He argued this has worrying characteristics including“raising each child as special and unique and patting them on the back for every achievement, to protect
29、their self-confidence. “Referring to“WEIRD“, Lancy thinks one primary reason is this fundamental viewpoint that children should never be unhappy and that if they are, thats a problem that the parent is maybe responsible for and certainly has the duty to remediate (补救 ) Parents are totally wrapped up
30、 and centered on their children-an approach that is problematic. “When you said to a child, The horizons are limitless for you, you can do anything you want to, theres no hurry, you can take your time, that creates a situation that you tell your kids, You dont have to conform to societys or the work
31、places expectations, you can continue to do whats exciting and wonderful for you, and we end up with kids only irregularly employed and dependent on their parents by their mid-twenties. This results in their failure to launch. “ Lancy said. Lancy believes the West should look at other cultures and t
32、heir more “natural“ ways of raising children. “One of the greatest things weve lost, which you may become aware of in a remote village abroad, is that children have learnt from watching other people do stuff (做事), like making things, working outdoors and helping adults on the farm. “ Lancy said. “If
33、 I were a parent or teacher of children now, 1would make sure that they had opportunities to watch. Then even better, to join in, help out. “28.

Take advantage of.C. Live up to.D. Set aside. 31. What does Lancy suggest the western parents do?A. Sign children up for c
36、ourses on foreign cultures. B. Get more involved in childrens growth and development. C. Force adult children to get away from home and live alone. D. Allow children more space to learn things by following suit.DMany personal development coaches seem to agree that magic starts to happen the minute w
37、e step outside of our comfort zones. The second you decide that youre willing to go beyond what is safe ，you will have planted a seed that, if watered daily, will blossom(开花)into something that you would have never expected to come to fruition. For me, what we should always keep in mind is that, und
38、er no circumstances, can growth and comfort coexist. We are the only ones who can be responsible for how far we will go. However, to reach any personal objective, we must shake things up a bit.

41、ck, using my second language on a daily basis and leaning to live life differently from the way we do things in the U. S. has turned out to be an extremely enriching experience. The comfort zone can be misleading in the sense that it tricks us into believing that we have an abundant amount of time w
