happier onunhappier or more or less certain of themselves thanthey wereO years ago.While any of there statementsmight be true,they arepractically impossible to prove scientifically.Still,I was struck by a report which concluded thattoday s children are significantly more anxious thanchildren in the 1950.In fact,the analysis showed,normal children ages to lexhibit a higher level ofanxiety today than children who were treated for mentalillnessO years ago.Why are America s kids so stressed?The reportcites two main causes:increasing physical isolation-brought on by high divorce rates and less involvementin community,among other things-and a growingperception that the world is a more dangerous place.Given that we can t turn the clock back,adultscan still do plenty to help thenext generation cope.At the top of the list isnurturing a better appreciation of the limits ofindividualism.No child is an island.Strengtheningsocial ties helps build communities and protectindividuals against stress.To help kids build stronger connections withothers,you can pull the plug on TVs and computers.Yourfamily will thank you later.They will have more timefor face-to-face relationships,and they will get moresleep.Limit the amount of viral violence yourchildren are exposed to.It s not just radio games andmovies;children see a lot of murder and crime on thelocal news.Keep your expectations for your childrenreasonable.Many highly successful people neverattended Harvard or Yale.Make exercise part of your daily routine.It willhelp you cope with your own anxieties and provide a goodmodel for

withmore parental care.D)Anxiety,it properly controlled,may helpchildren become mature.Passage TwoQuestionstoO are based on the following passage.It is easier to negotiate initial salaryrequirement because once you are inside,theorganizational constraints influence wage increases.One thing,however,is certain:your chances of getting theraise you feel you deserve are less if you don t atleast ask for it.Men tend to ask for more,and theyget more,and this holds true with other resources,notjust pay increases.Consider Beth s story:I did not get what I wanted when I did not askfor it.We had cubicle offices and window offices.Isat in the cubicles with several male colleagues.Oneby one they were moved into window offices,while Iremained in the cubicles.Several males who were hiredafter me also went to offices.One in particular toldme he was next in line for an office and that it hadbeen part of his negotiations for the job.I guess theythought me content to stay in the cubicles since I didnot voice my opinion either way.It would be nice if we all received automatic payincreases equal to our merit,but“nice isn t aquality attributed to most organizations.If you feelyou deserve a significant raise in pay,you 11 probablyhave to ask for it.Performance is your best bargaining chip whenyou are seeking a raise.You must be able to demonstratethat you deserve a raise.Timing is also a goodbargaining chip.If you can give your boss somethinghe or she needs just before merit pay decisions arebeing made,you are more likely to get the raise youwant.Use as a新视野大学英语四级考试模拟试题三及答案Part I
