As parents, we must teach our children the importance and value of honesty from an early age. However, teaching our children to be honest isn't the same as teaching them to tie their shoes.
When should we start teaching them the difference between lies and the truth? Children under the age of 3 don't have the ability to understand the importance of values. As soon as they turn 3, however, it's important for parents to watch carefully. It isn't enough for parents to teach. We must also observe our child's behavior.
Rewarding children can be a great motivation for their learning.
As our children grow up, it's important to teach them the value of honesty.
| A．Let them understand the value of telling the truth. |
| B．Even if we're honest, our children may not be honest. |
| C．This will allow us to find out what makes the child lie. |
| D．We can't correct children's behavior through punishment. |
| E．They will start to link honesty with something positive. |
| F．Specialists in child psychology have listed the reasons why children lie. |
| G．Punishment and anger don't always work when trying to stop children from lying. |

【推荐1】A pretty girl with a red helmet was riding a motorcycle ahead, she was wearing a short pink dress and purple pants, the back of her dress swinging in the wind like small pink flags. It is not rare to see women wearing such fancy garments nowadays. But this young woman was in style in every way.
I suddenly thought of my wife. She had been dreaming of getting a bag which she said she had seen on the Internet. She had already got our son to place an order for it. It should arrive at any time.
“Is your delivery to reach us today or tomorrow?” I asked.
“I have no idea. But don’t worry. Our child is sure to watch it.”
Soon we turned our way onto the Hilton Thoroughfare(大道), the stylishly dressed girl gave way to us standing aside, at the same time waiting for the traffic light to change. Obviously she was going in the direction of another place.
“You know that girl?” asked my wife, seeing my eyes still fixed upon the girl in fashion.
“No. I was thinking how you look in a pink dress while hanging about in a botanic(植物的) garden.”
“You were kidding me, knowing I’m not fit for such clothing.” retorted my wife.
“It will make you look much younger. You were always a lovely pretty girl at her age.”
“I’m not what I used to be.” she laughed out loud.

【推荐2】The Oklahoma teen’s eyes were covered by two blindfolds (眼罩) for the big surprise: being reunited with her father, James, after 12-year separation.
“I had actually discussed with her the night before at a restaurant and talked over the details of where we would go and how we would pull it off,” said Amanda, Rory Beth’s mother.
A video shows Amanda led her blindfolded daughter out of their car and guided her across the parking lot of Broken Arrow Lanes in Broken Arrow.
Little did she know, her father was on the sidewalk holding a birthday cake that read, “Happy Birthday Rory Beth, Love Dad.” When the teen slowly pulled down her blindfolds, she was dumbfounded. Both the father and daughter stood silently looking at each other until James finally walked over and hugged her. James only broke their embrace to look at his daughter and hold her face. “There were definitely lots of tears from myself, her brothers, and even a few bystanders,” said Amanda.
James was a truck driver who spent a lot of time on the road, and Amanda split with him when Rory Beth was a baby. “It was hard to figure out how to make it work,” Amanda said. Amanda felt Rory Beth was now old enough to understand and to ask any questions she may have, so the reunion happened.
The birthday surprise was on June 4, and the father and daughter had seen each other again since, even celebrating Father’s Day together. Amanda said her daughter and James were both delighted to be reunited “She’s already calling him ‘daddy’ and tells him that she loves him,” Amanda said. “They’re both very committed.”

【推荐3】Slowly, so slowly that we never even noticed how it happened, our family stopped talking to each other. Our own worlds opened up to us through t e computer or the cell phone or the CD player.
Family Night was born when Mom called us for dinner. Jessica and I came and sat down. Dad finished his eating and started to rise from the table.
“Where are you going?” Mom questioned.
“To the living room. I have some work,” Dad replied as he hurried away. Mom’s face got tight, but she said nothing. About two minutes later, my cell phone buzzed. Jessica kept her earphones on during most of the meal. Mom was clearly upset.
Family Night started the next week. Mom made three rules: no phones, no music, and no leaving the table. Everyone would eat together and play a game together “like a real family.”
All seemed to be going according to Mom’s plan until the first buzz of a cell phone. After dinner, we had been playing the board game for only ten minutes when another cell phone rang. This time the phone belonged to my father.
“Work’s calling. I have to answer,” he whispered as he hurried out of the room.
Mom sighed, but she forced a smile and encouraged us to continue with the game. We kept playing through every interruption(中断) afterwards: the beeping of Jessica’s phone, the buzz of another text message from Darnell, the soothing voice announcing the arrival of an e-mail on Dad’s computer. When the game was over, Mom freed us to our rooms.
That first Family Night was not a success, but Mom soldiered on. Every Monday evening we silenced our electronics and gathered around the table; and each time, setting aside our technological toys became a little easier. The next two months my father would be taking business trips. We wouldn’t be able to have Family Night every Monday.
To my surprise I realized that I would miss those few hours each week when the house was filled with my family’s laughter and conversation. I was also glad to know that when we really wanted to, we could silence the electronic buzz and just be a family again.

【推荐1】Worldwide, the most people willing to return your mobile phone if you’ve lost it are to be found in Slovenia, and the fewest in Malaysia. This finding is the result of an interesting study in 32 of the world’s largest cities . Altogether, researchers ‘lost' 960 new mobile phones. They got back 654 of them，or 68 percent. Prague came in at number eight. There, 23 out of 30 people who were willing to return the mobile phone.
It wasn’t a traditional study. Two researchers carefully chose different places such as areas with high crime(犯罪)and busy downtown shopping areas, to “lose” the phones. When one of the researchers dropped a phone, the other would keep watching from a distance. The honest finders tried their best to find the owner with the help of the address book in the phone. They were told why the study was done and asked why they acted the way they did.
It was found that the busier the place where the researchers dropped the phone, the greater the chance of it being returned. Another interesting finding was that women were generally more likely than men to return the phone. Researchers also found that most people still have a sense of honesty. “Crime is simply not good behavior (行为), ”said an expert. “People want to trust others, and want to be trusted.”
