While we have complained about our jobs or fallen asleep in car-pool lines, our children have been noticing. They are worried about us. A new survey, "Ask the children," conducted by the Families and Work Institute of New York City, queried more than 1,000 kids between the ages of 8 and 18 about their parents' work lives. "If you were granted one wish to change the way your parents' work affected your life," the survey asked kids, "what would that wish be?" Most parents assumed that children would want more time with them, but only 10% did. Instead, the most common wish (among 34% ) was that parents would be less stressed and tired by work.
Allison Levin is the mother of three young children and a professional in the growing field of "work/ life quality". Levin counsels employees who are overwhelmed by their work and family obligations to carefully review their commitments-not only at the office but at home and in the community too—and start paring them down. "It's not about getting up earlier in the morning se you can get more done," she says. "It's about saying no and making choices."
We can start by leaving work, and thoughts of work, behind as soon as we start the trip home. Do something to get yourself in a good mood, like listening to music, rather than returning calls on the cell phone. When you get home, change out of your work clothes, let the answering machine take your calls, and stay away from e-mail. When your kids ask about your day, tell them about something good that happened. (In the survey, 69% of moms said they liked their work, but only 42% of kids thought their mothers really did. )
Parents can also de-stress by cutting back on their children's activities. If keeping up with your kid's schedule is killing you, insist that he choose between karate lessons and the theater troupe. Parents should also sneak away from work and family occasionally to have some fun. I keep a basketball in the trunk of my can. I might never be able to fix everything at work or at home, but at least I can work on my jump shot.
Which of the following sentences can be the best title of this passage?
A.Kids Say: Chill
B.Kids Stress Parents
C.Parents Complain about work
D.Parents Get in Good Mood
Paper--More than Meets the Eye
A) We are surrounded by so much paper and card that it is easy to forget just how complex it is. There are many varieties and grades of paper materials, and whilst it is fairly easy to spot the varieties, it is far more difficult to spot the grades.
B) It needs to be understood that most paper and card is manufactured for a specific purpose, so that whilst the corn-flake packet may look smart, it is clearly not something destined for the archives. It is made to look good, but only needs a limited life span. It is also much cheaper to manufacture than high grade card.
C) Paper can be made from an almost endless variety of cellulose-based material which will include many woods, cottons and grasses or which papyrus is an example and from where we get the word "paper". Many of these are very specialized, but the preponderance of paper making has been from soft wood and cotton or rags, with the bulk being wood-based.
Paper from Wood
D) In order to make wood into paper it needs to be broken down into fine strands. Firstly by powerful machinery and then boiled with strong alkalies such as caustic soda, until a fine pulp of cellulose fibers is produced. It is from this pulp that the final product is made, relying on the bonding together of the cellulose into layers. That, in a very small nutshell, is the essence of paper making from wood. However, the reality is rather more complicated. In order to give us our white paper and card, the makers will add bleach and other materials such as china clay and additional chemicals.
E) A further problem with wood is that it contains a material that is not cellulose. Something called lignin. This is essential for the tree since it holds the cellulose fibres together, but if it is incorporated into the manufactured paper it presents archivists with a problem. Lignin eventually breaks down and releases acid products into the paper. This will weaken the bond between the cellulose fibers and the paper will become brittle and look rather brown and careworn. We have all seen this in old newspapers and cheap paperback books. It has been estimated that most paper back books will have a life of not greater than fifty years. Not what we need for our archives.
F) Since the lignin can be removed from the paper pulp during manufacture, the obvious question is "why is it left in the paper?" The answer lies in the fact that lignin makes up a considerable part of the tree. By leaving the lignin in the pulp a papermaker can increase his paper yield from a tree to some 95%. Removing it means a yield of only 35%. It is clearly uneconomic to remove the lignin for many paper and card applications.
G) It also means, of course, that lignin-free paper is going to be more expensive, but that is nevertheless what the archivist must look for in his supplies. There is no point whatsoever in carefully placing our valuable artifacts in paper or card that is going to hasten
their demise. Acid is particularly harmful to photographic materials, causing them to fade and is some cases simply vanish!
H) So, how do we tell a piece of suitable paper or card from one that is unsuitable? You cannot do it by simply looking, and rather disappointingly, you cannot always rely on the label. "Acid-free" might be true inasmuch as a test on the paper may indicate that it is a neutral material at this time. But lignin can take years before it starts the inevitable process of breaking down, and in the right conditions it will speed up enormously.
I) Added to this, as I have indicated earlier, paper may also contain other materials added during manufacture such as bleach, china clay, chemical whiteners and size. This looks like a bleak picture, and it would be but for the fact that there are suppliers who will guarantee the material that they sell. If you want to be absolutely sure that you are storing in, or printing on, the correct material then this is probably the only way.
J) Incidentally, acids can migrate from material to material. Lining old shoe boxes with good quality acid-free paper will do little to guard the contents. The acid will get there in the end.
Paper from Rag
K) Paper is also commonly made from cotton and rag waste. This has the advantage of being lignin-free, but because there is much less cotton and rag than trees, it also tends to be much more expensive than wood pulp paper. You will still need to purchase from a reliable source though, since even rag paper and card can contain undesirable additives.
L) A reliable source for quality rag papers is a recognized art stockiest. Many water color artists insist on using only fine quality rag paper and board.
M) The main lesson to learn from this information is that you cannot rely on purchasing archival materials from the high street. The only safe solution is to purchase from specialist suppliers. It may cost rather more, but in the end you will know that your important and valuable data and images have the best home possible.
1. The corn-flake packet is cheaper than high grade card.
2. There are a lot of materials which can be used for making paper, but the superiority ones are soft wood, cotton and rags.
3. During the whole manufacturing process, the final product is made from a pulp of cellulose fibres.
4. In order to make white paper and card, the makers will add bleach.
5. Liguin is essential for the tree but it will make paper easy to break.
6. Many paper producers will preserve lignin during manufacture, because leaving the lignin will make more paper from a tree.
7. Acid is particularly harmful to photographic materials.
8. If the lignin is removed from the paper, the paper will be more expensive.
9. Although free of lignin, paper made from cotton and rag waste can also cost more money than wood pulp paper because there is much less cotton and rag than trees.
10. What we can learn from "Paper from Rag" is that you had better buy archival materials from specialist suppliers.
Why the Super-Rich Aren"t Leaving Much of Their Fortunes to Their Kids
A.What do Sting, Bill Gates and Warren Buffett have in common? All three have huge fortunes, and none of them are giving them to their kids.Sting just revealed that most of him $ 300 million would not end up with his six adult children.The musician said that he certainly didn"t want to leave them trust funds that are obstacles round their necks."They have to work.All my kids know that and they rarely ask me for anything, which I really respect and appreciate."
B.Bill and Melinda Gates are giving a reported $10 million for each of their three children: pocketchange compared with their $ 76 billion.Buffett"s three kid~ each have a $ 2 billion foundation funded by Dear Old Dad.The rest of his money goes to charity, just like Gates and several other billionaires who have invested their vast fortunes in improving the world.As Buffett famously put it, the perfect amount to leave children is "enough money so that they would feel they could do anything, but not so much that they could do nothing."
C.All those spoiled rich kids with more money than sense won"t make smart choices or live healthy, productive lives if they have unlimited access to the money they inherit.Celebrity chef Nigella Lawson has stated she has no intention of leaving a substantial inheritance: "I am determined that my children should have no financial security.It ruins people not having to earn money."
D.Wealthy families have always struggled with this issue.But the same drama is now playing out on a smaller scale for millions of baby boomers (婴儿潮时期出生的人), who hesitate to give away $ 30 trillion over the next 30 years——the largest transfer of wealth in American history.What used to be a private family matter has become a public discussion about wealth, privilege and pemonal responsibility.Who gets the big money? Should it be the heirs? Or are they better off without it?
E."We probably struggled over this more than any other issue," says a local self-made multi- millionaire.The businessman and his wife, worth hundreds of millions, grew up modestly in middle- class families and wanted to create a financial plan that would take care of their children——but not spoil them——if the couple died suddenly."We were fearful of what might happen if they had control of a large amount of money at a young age," he says."The more we stared at that, the more we became uncomfortable."
F.Inspired by Buffett"s example, they created trusts for each of their now college-age children.Each kid has $ 2.5 million controlled by trustees, who can release money only for education, health care, a home purchase or a business start-up.Any unspent money in the trust will continue to be invested and grow.Those restrictions remain in place until each child reaches age 40; after that, the money is all theirs to do as they please.By 40, their parents assume they will be mature enough to use the money wisely or save it as a safety net.The rest of the multimillion-dollar family fortune is going to a foundation, which will eventually be managed by the children and can be used only for charity.The kids are aware of the trusts and the planning that went into them."They really are thrilled with it," their father says."They want to be their own persons." A huge inheritance, he
believes, can be a lifelong trap for children of rich parents."I didn"t want them to look in the mirror and say, " Who am I?""
G.Whether having so much money is good or bad for trust-fund babies depends on how the family has prepared the kids, their personal qualities and how well they handle the pressures of great wealth and the fear of not inheriting.For every party girl like Paris Hilton, there"s an Ivanka Trump, who got a business degree from wharton and has made her family"s money and famous name valuable into a prosperous career.Johnson used his inheritance to launch a filmmaldng career and to live, all things considered, a relatively normal life in New York."In my case, it turned out to be a great benefit," he says.
H.Most parents want to protect their children from the dark excesses of money——drugs, legal troubles, and so on——and preserve the family fortune for future generations.That usually doesn"t work out: The fn"st generation makes the money, the second spends the majority of it, and the third drains the rest.Hence the old saying goes like " Shirt sleeves to shirt sleeves in three generations." Traditionally, the wealthy gave all their money to their children and grandchildren, and then hoped for the best.Baby boomers, says consulting firm Accenture managing director Bob Gach, are living longer and struggling to balance their own retirement needs and interests with their children"s weffare.Boomers are different from previous generations: more likely to give away money while they"re still alive, more concerned about their adult children finding and keeping jobs.Excess properties typically go into tax-protected trusts.
I.There are really good reasons to leave a tegacy (遗产) in a thoughtful way——ways that promote the production and healthy lifestyles.Many trusts are structured to distribute inheritances at the specific ages determined in advance.A commonpractice is to give a third at 25, a third at 30 and the rest at35.Some inheritances are set up to encourage the heirs to graduate from college, marry or hold a job for a specific amount of years before any money will be released.
J.A lot of people don"t like to talk about money because they don"t want the kids to know how much they"re actually worth or what they might inherit.Although adult children in the United States have no legal rights to their parents" money, it"s rare for heirs to get cut off with nothing.But that doesn"t mean they get everything.Bill Gates, the world"s richest man, won"t disclose the exact amount each of his three kids will inherit, but he said they"ll get an "unbelievable" education and
health care and the reported $10 million, which still puts them fmnly in the One Percent——but not even close to their self-made father"s billions.For that, they"ll have to found their own empire.In terms of their income, they will have to pick a job they like and go to work.
If rich kids are well cultivated and prepared for the txust fund, it will be beneficial to their future. 查看材料
