When it comes to parenting his three children，the Microsoft mogul，Bill Gates admits his wife has done more than her________ of raising the kids，"My wife does 80%，" Gates told a________ of Harvard students.He said they have been quite deliberate about the model they've used to________ their children.

The couple followed a 1970s "Love and Logic"________ model.The idea of their philosophy is ________ the idea that using emotional control，essentially minimizing emotional ________ like shouting or scolding kids.

"One of the greatest________ of applying Love and Logic is that it helps us learn________ to keep a tighter leash（缰绳） on our emotions and on our ________." co﹣founder Charles Fay wrote in a blog post about his model.

________ controlling hot﹣blooded parent tempers，the love and logic model also________the importance of not leaning into rewards for kids，but instead demonstrating unconditional love and________ kids for who they are，not what their________ performance is like，such as a poor test score or a bad grade.

"Many successful people________ with grades as children，" Fay wrote. "What most important is that children ________ good character，curiosity，and problem﹣solving skills."

Gates says it wasn't the only way he set boundaries for his children while they were________.None of his kids owned a cell phone________ they were 14 years old.The children also attended church   ________ with their parents.And they will each get________ USD 10 million of their parents' fortune as inheritance.

"We want to strike a balance where they have the freedom to do anything，but not a lot of money showered on them so they could go out and do________，" Gates once told TED.

2 . All parents know that one of their most important tasks is to prepare their children for an independent life, but any parent can tell you that it’s hard to let go of your children. That balance between keeping your children safe and allowing them to learn from their own mistakes can be heartbreaking. Years of experience means that parents often do know best, but on the other hand, the young, being less bound by tradition, are often more creative, more able to find new solutions to old problems. Revolutions are led by the young.

Good teachers make the growth of critical thinking easier in their students, only to find that this can lead to a questioning of the teachers’ basic beliefs. Schools encourage. parents to become involved, but are often embarrassed when parents have reservation about some of the educational methods being used. Governments encourage unimportant groups to empower themselves in order to participate fully in the development process. And they are often surprised when the new leaders of these groups turn around and attack the policies of that same government. The rebellious(叛逆的) young and the newly unimportant groups are important in social development. They are not necessarily representatives of those they want to represent or not realistic in their demands, but their voices must be heard.

Good parents know that just forbidding particular behaviors does not prevent their children from finding ways to engage in these forbidden activities. Indeed, sometimes the forbidden fruit is more inviting, just because it is not accepted by authority. Parents must work with their children to educate them on the facts, know as much as possible about the lives of their children, provide a good example, encourage more wholesome activities but also support their children when they don’t follow what is expected of them. But the most important point is that they also need to learn how to let go.

As an essential part and the largest organ of our body, the skin has many important functions. It acts as     1     barrier, helps control your temperature and gives you your sense of touch. Therefore,     2    (get)burnt can lead to very serious injuries,     3     need first aid in time.

During the Renaissance, new ideas and values slowly replaced old ones in the Middle Ages.

7 . Nowadays,being a parent has become harder than ever before.When it comes to useful parenting methods,advice from experts is different.One of the things researchers and educators agree on,however,is that if you want to raise successful children,you must"give them wings and let them fly."    1     But how do you go about it?Here are some tips to raise independent kids.

Let go.It's natural to want to help your kids but raising independent kids requires you to fight the urge(欲望）to help at all times.    2    Providing unnecessary help means you're taking away important chances to build independence.The golden rule is:if they can do it, don't insist on doing it for them.

Be present.Raising independent kids is difficult.It requires you to find the right balance between being present and letting go.    3     You need to create the environments that allow them to feel confident enough to go out on their own.

    4    Competitiveness draws the attention of many parents.    5     Your kid is unique.It's important to find out what he or she likes and to focus on developing his or her personal strengths.Research has shown that the activities to show children's unique abilities help lead them towards a meaningful life and help them develop confidence in their abilities.

The Yosufs' house is unlike any other house. In the sitting room, instead of a television there is a blackboard on the wall. For two hours every day Mr Yosuf writes complex mathematical problems on the board. His daughter, Zuleika, copies them into an exercise book and solves them.

Zuleika is special. She's five years old, but, instead of watching cartoons, or playing computer games, her favorite pastimes(消遣) are solving problems and reading books. She already spends hours every day in a university library. Next year, Zuleika will become Britain's youngest "A" level student.

Not surprisingly, the Yosufs are a very clever family. Zuleika's two sisters and brother, aged 16, 14 and 12 are also good at maths and are already at university. Her father, who specializes in maths research, has taught them all. "Zuleika is very competitive, " says her father, "She sees her brother and sisters working every day and she can't wait to catch up with them. I remember teaching the others maths when they were eight. Zuleika solves the same problems now, although she took up maths much earlier. We could see she was interested in numbers at a much younger age.

So what is the secret of their success? When their first child arrived, Mr Yosuf and his wife made up their minds to teach all of their children at home. They say that home teaching combined with love and understanding has helped their children to succeed. "We'll be patient and supportive, and they take pride in what they do, " says Mr Yosuf. "Maybe Zuleika has a natural talent for maths, but I believe given the right surroundings, any child could do well."

One thing all child prodigies(神童) have in common is a complete love of their subject. They spend many more hours working at it than the average child, and this extra effort is reflected in their achievements. It is not necessary to be extremely talented to be a child prodigy, but you do have to have a lot of motivation.

Children are the apple of their parents’ eyes, but what will parents do if their children make mistakes?

Most kids like candies. The same is true of a little girl,     1     mother is very strict and makes it a rule that she can’t take any candies without her     2     (permit).

One day, when the mother was out, the girl decided to get some candies     3     (secret). Since she was not tall enough     4     (get) the candy box in the cupboard, she got a chair to stand on. The girl opened the box and took out     5     handful of candies. On hearing her mother opening the door, so nervous     6     (be) the girl that she fell down to the ground, with candies around.

Rather than comfort her crying daughter, the mother ordered her to stand up and clear the ground     7     (she). She said to her daughter seriously, “Today,     8     is because you’ve made a mistake that I punish you. If     9     (catch) doing this again, you’ll have no candies at all. I would rather you     10     (remember) my words.”

What do you think of the mother’s way of dealing with her daughter? Indeed, loving children doesn't mean spoiling them.

10 . Attachment Parenting is not Indulgent Parenting. Attachment parents do not "spoil" their children. Spoiling is done when a child is given everything that they want regardless of what they need and regardless of what is practical. Indulgent parents give toys for tantrums(发脾气), ice cream for breakfast. Attachment parents don’t give their children everything that they want, they give their children everything that they need. Attachment parents believe that love and comfort are free and necessary. Not sweets or toys.

Attachment Parenting is not "afraid of tears" parenting. Our kids cry. The difference is that we understand that tantrums and tears come from emotions and not manipulation. And our children understand this too. They cry and have tantrums sometimes, of course. But they do this because their emotions are so overwhelming that they need to get it out. They do not expect to be "rewarded" for their strong negative emotions; they simply expect that we will listen. We pick up our babies when they cry, and we respond to the tears of our older children because we believe firmly that comfort is free, love is free, and that when a child has need for comfort and love, it is our job to provide those things. We are not afraid of tears. We don’t avoid them. We hold our children through them and teach them that when they are hurt or frustrated we are here to comfort them and help them work through their emotions.

Attachment Parenting is not Clingy Parenting. I do not cling to my children. In fact, I’m pretty free-range. As soon as they can move they usually move away from me and let me set up a chase as they crawl, run, skip and hop on their merry way to explore the world. Sure, I carry them and hug them and chase them and kiss them and rock them and sleep with them. But this is not me following them everywhere and pulling them back to me. This is me being a home base. The "attachment" comes from their being allowed to attach to us, not from us attaching to them like parental leeches. Attachment Parenting is not Selfish Parenting. It is also not selfless parenting, We are not doing it for us, and we are not doing it to torment (折磨)ourselves.

Attachment parenting is not Helicopter Parenting. I don’t hover, I supervise, I follow, I teach, I demonstrate, I explain. I don’t slap curious hands away, I show how to do things safely, I let my child do the things that my child wishes to do, first with help and then with supervision(监督) and finally with trust, I don’t insist that my 23 month old hold my hand when we walk on the sidewalk because I know that I can recall him with my voice because he trusts me to allow him to explore and he trusts me to explain when something is dangerous and to help him satisfy his curiosities safely.

Most of the negative things that I hear about "attachment parents" are completely off-base and describe something that is entirely unlike Attachment Parenting. Attachment Parenting is child-centric and focuses on the needs of the child. Children need structure, rules, and boundaries. Attachment Parents simply believe that the child and the parent are allies, not adversaries, and that children are taught, not trained.
