11．In most towns today，you can see teenagers standing over electronic machines with flashing lights，shooting at spaceships from other planets and dropping bombs on strange monsters（惡魔）．The machines have names like Space Warrior，Dark Invader and so on．It used to be believed that damage was done only to those strange visitors from outer space，but now it seems that they are striking back．
 Many teenagers like electronic games so much that they can't stop playing．They spend hours tightly holding the joystick controls and constantly pressing buttons marked"fire"．They develop pains on their fingers because of the constant pressure．They play and play that the pains have no chance to cure properly．The rapid wrist movement required to guide the spaceship across the screen causes another problem：The muscles of the wrist and arm become so inflamed and swollen（充血紅腫） that they press against the bones．This condition is what doctors now call"Space Warrior's Wrist"．

9．It is difficult for parents of nearly every family to teach their children to be responsible for housework，but with one of the following suggestions，you really can get your children to help at home．
If you give your children the impression that they can never do anything quite right，then they will regard themselves as unfit or unable persons．Unless children believe they can succeed，they will never become totally independent．
My daughter Carla's fifth-grade teacher made every child in her class feel special．When students received less than a perfect test score，she would point out what they had mastered and declared firmly they could learn what they had missed．
You can use the same technique when you evaluate（評(píng)價(jià)）your child's work at home．Don't always scold and give lots of praise instead．Talk about what he has done right，not about what he hasn't done．If your child completes a difficult task，promise him a Sunday trip or a ball game with Dad．
Learning is a process of trying and failing and trying and succeeding．If you teach your children not to fear a mistake of failure，they will learn faster and achieve success at last．

8．When I was young，I had an old neighbor named Dr．Gibbs．He didn't look like any doctor I'd ever known．He never shouted at us for playing in his yard．I remembered him as a neighbor who was nicer than anyone else in the neighborhood．When Dr．Gibbs was happy，he was planting trees．And his life's goal was to make it a forest．
Dr．Gibbs had some interesting theories about planting．He talked about trees that weren't watered would grow deep roots in search of water．So he never watered his trees．He planted an oak （橡樹） and，instead of watering it every morning，he beat it with the rolled-up newspaper．I asked him why he did that，and he said it was to get the tree's attention．
Dr．Gibbs died a couple of years．Every now and then，I walk by his house and look at the trees that he planted twenty-five years ago．They're very strong now．
I planted a couple of trees a few years later．I watered them regularly and took good care of them．Whenever a cold wind blows，they shake their leaves and branches．
