Youngsters in Britain are being increasingly selfish, claim the education analysts. Behavioral consultant Chris Calland said: Parents want to make Christmas into magical fairytale for their kids. There39。s nothing wrong with that. The problem arises when it means always giving into all our children39。s demands even if they are beyond our price range or not ageappropriate. Ms Calland, who runs Santa Says No style sessions with colleague Nicky Hutchinson, added: Many of us go into so much debt providing the gifts our children want that we spend the rest of the year paying off the bills. But so often the gifts we39。ve carefully wrapped, once opened, are just pushed away because the very thing our little boy or girl was once so desperate for, they have now lost interest in. Ms Calland and Ms Hutchinson have drawn up a list of guidelines to help parents manage their offspring39。s(后代 ) Christmas lists this year. They say that adults can actually improve their relationships with their children by resisting pester(糾纏 ) power. Ms Calland said: All too often we say yes because we want an easier life when the fact is that we39。re only building up problems for the future. We are helping create a generation of youngsters who are blind to the needs of others and the necessity of hard work. Children learn fast if we sometimes change our mind, they quickly realize it might be worth lying on the floor and screaming for it. Make sure you and your partner are working together on this.

C When we see well, we do not think about our eyes very often． It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes are． People who are nearsighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes． Everything else seems blurry（ unclear）． Many people who do a lot of work, such as writing, reading and sewing bee nearsighted． Then People who are farsighted suffer from just the opposite problem． They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty in reading a book unless they hold it at arm?s length． If they want to do much reading, they must get glasses, too． Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape． They have what is called astigmatism（散光）． This, too, can be corrected by glasses． Some people?s eyes bee cloudy because of cataracts（白內(nèi)障）． Long ago these people often became blind． Now however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove then． Having two good eyes is important for judging distances． Each eye sees things from a slightly different angle（角度）． To prove this to yourself, look at an object out of one eye。 then look at the same object our of your other eye． You will find the object?s relation to the background and other things around it has changed． The difference between these two different eye views helps us to judge how far away an object is． People who have only one eye cannot judge distance as people with two eyes． 61． We should take good care of our eyes ． A
