阅读理解

    Athena was born and raised in Ukraine. Her parents wanted her to become a lawyer or a doctor. But she always knew she wanted to paint. She also realized a career in painting would not be possible if she stayed in her country.

    Even though she was painting in her whole life and it was her passion(热情)but it was only a hobby. And she never really took it to the next level because back in the country all the artists were hungry artists. So she knew for some reason she never took art as a career because she would never be able to make money and be successful in it in several years.

    So. Athena came to the United States when she was 14 years old to pursue(追求)an American Dream. She was clear on her goal. Athena first worked at a health food shop. She began to paint on the shop's menu boards. A customer praised her skill and asked if she would help paint faces at street fairs. Athena says it was a good start. Then she went to FABAIC to start body painting.

    Body painting is quite different from plain painting. And she loves it very much. She says. "With body, you work with the people factor and it's not only you. Maybe they want to talk or move, and they cannot stand still for several days while the painting will last three to four days. When I paint. I can't stop."

Think "small tasks, big contributions"(小任务,大贡献)

Offer{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(chance) for the child to help {#blank#}2{#/blank#}the chore you're doing. Give them a task that is appropriate(适当的) with {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(they) skill level. Maybe it's holding a measuring cup while {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(make) bread, moving a chair while sweeping. The task can be tiny, but the key part, Coppens says,{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (be) that it has to make a real contribution to the chore. It can't be a "fake" project or {#blank#}6{#/blank#}action that has nothing to do with the real chore. Then everyone isn't working together for a common goal.

"In one of our studies, the middle-class, European families reported giving children what we called 'mock work,'" Coppens says. For example, a mom would sweep the kitchen{#blank#}7{#/blank#}afterward, she would give the broom to her young child to "resweep" the kitchen." The parents{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(know) that the child wasn't contributing to chore, and pretty{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(quick), the kid will pick up on the same idea," Coppens says. And the kid loses out on the pride and sense of{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(succeed) that comes from making a real contribution.

 根据下面短文内容,在短文的空格处填上一个恰当的词,使短文完整、通顺。

In 1971, a poor young man was traveling across the country, trying to make a new start for himself. On the way, he had run out of his{#blank#}1{#/blank#}so he had no food to eat and had to live in his car.

One morning, after a week of sleeping in his car, he walked into a restaurant and ordered a big breakfast. After eating his first good meal in weeks, he found he had to{#blank#}2{#/blank#}to the waiter, telling him he had lost his wallet. He was so embarrassed(尴尬的) that his face turned red. The waiter, also the owner, walked behind the young man's seat. He bent down(弯腰), and stood up{#blank#}3{#/blank#}a $20 bill in his hand. It seemed as if it had fallen on the floor. "Son, you must have dropped this." the owner said. The young man was so{#blank#}4{#/blank#}that he couldn't believe his eyes! He quickly{#blank#}5{#/blank#}for the breakfast and went out.

On the way out of town, he realized, "{#blank#}6{#/blank#}nobody dropped the money at all. Maybe the owner of the restaurant just knew I was in trouble and he helped me in a way that didn't embarrass me. What a kind person he is! {#blank#}7{#/blank#}I have the chance in the future; I will do the same to help others."

Now older, the man lives near Kansas City. Each year he gives away thousands of dollars to poor people. He is regarded{#blank#}8{#/blank#}the "Secret Father Christmas", because at Christmas time each year, he personally hands money out to those homeless people on the streets. Last year, he gave more than $50,000 away in Kansas City.
