Child models are very much in demand all across the world. Many magazines and online stores that sell products for children like their models young. For this reason, they seek out children who can model clothing and have no problem posing (擺姿勢)and smiling for the camera. Those who are seeking out child models for thelr advertising can go to online modeling sites and view pictures of children who are web models. They can take a look at their portfolio(整套照片)and decide whether they will accept them.

    Parents who are seeking to get their children into the modeling business can also create a portfolio for their children and put them online. They can look for jobs for their chldren through an online modeling site, or they can wait for job offers for their children. These online sites act as web modeling agency for models young and old alike. Anyone who has the desire to be a model can get a portfoilo together and join the site.

If you have a child who you want to be a model, you should first start a portfolio for him or her and then join an online modeling agency. Once you join the agency, you can then start to look for jobs, clients(客戶)will post jobs that can be found in the search. You can look for jobs for young models and see if your child will fit what the client is looking for. In many cases, the client will send clothing for the child to wear and a descriptlon of poses and the job can be done close to home.

Online modeling agencies are not only for child models. Older models, teen models, men and women can model for these sites. A great deal of the modeling is for online websites.

Once upon a time a king, in the company of his ministers, went to the imperial garden for a walk. When he was walking around a pond, a strange idea 26 upon him and he asked, “How many buckets(桶) of water are there in the pond?” The ministers looked at each other,  27 to give an answer.
Rather 28 , the king ordered, “You have three days’ grace. Any one who offers an answer will be handsomely awarded. Those who fail will be 29 .”
The time limit was due in the twinkling(閃爍)of an eye, yet the ministers were still at their wit’s end. At this time a child appeared who declared that he knew the answer. The king told his 30 ministers to go with the child for the measurement. To their 31 , the child refused the suggestion with a smile, “It is very easy. No 32 to go to the pond.” This made the king laugh 33 ,  “Alright, let us know what it is.” The child winked (眨眼) and said, “That 34 on the size of the bucket. If it is as big as the pond, there is one bucket of water; if it is half as big, two buckets; if one third as big, three buckets; if...”“Stop! That’s it. You’ve got the 35 .” The king was satisfied and the child was duly rewarded.
Why did the ministers feel it so different to settle the problem? Because they fell in a pitfall (陷阱), following a wrong way of thinking. People’s thinking often goes a habitual way — the beaten track of straightforwardness. 36  is a static (靜態(tài)的) way presupposing every object definite and certain, i.e. the size of the pond and the bucket should be clearly 37 . If one of them is unknown, it will be difficult to do the measurement, let alone 38 . Why not change your mode of thought — from static to dynamic(動態(tài)的), from concrete to 39  ? If you adopt an indirect way and try to find out the proportional relation between the pond and the bucket, you’ll get an answer — flexible yet 40 to solve the problem.
Sometimes to get out of the difficulty one must change one’s way of thinking, or simply change one’s approach towards a problem.

Earlier this week I was at a store after the holiday season. While waiting in line, I  31 a Dad who was stressed out with his two sons waiting in line to buy a car seat for the younger child.

  The father asked if he could buy the display model because it would be  32 than the others. The cashier  33  that he could buy the display model  34 that there was no box for it. He said that was just  35 with him.

  My reply was simple. Be it  47 or years from now, simply do the same or something extra for someone else you don’t know, and that would  48 me tenfold (十倍地).

  The whole experience made me realize that such a small thing can have a huge  49 in the long run, as long as the chain isn’t  50 .
