单选题Parents might say "honesty is the best policy," but when it comes to talking with their own children, morn and dad lie surprisingly often, finds a new study carried out by researchers in the University of Toronto, Canada.
Almost every parent in the study admits having come up with some tales to influence a child"s actions and feelings. For example, a parent is annoyed by a child"s crying and says, "The police will come to get you if you don"t stop crying now." In another example, an uncle has just died and the child is told that he has become a star to watch over the child.
Whether parents lie to benefit themselves or to protect the child, researchers suggest such
tall
tales
could give children mixed messages at a time when they are trying to figure out how to deal with the social world.
Lies could also harm the parent-child relationship. It could even keep children from learning certain rules. "If I am always lying to the child in order to get the child to do X, Y, or Z, then they have never learned why they should do X, Y, or Z." Heyman, one of the researchers, said.
Heyman also said, "It is common for parents to try out various ways, including lying, to guide a child, but most parents never think about how it will influence their child. I think parents should figure it out in advance what their general beliefs are, so when it comes to the situation you"re working with your beliefs rather than what comes into your head at the moment."

As more women in the United States are
working now, more are finding it necessary to make business trips alone. Since
this is still new for many, some tips are certainly in order. If you are
married, it is a good idea to encourage your husband and children to learn to
cook a few simple meals while you are away. They will be much happier and
probably they will enjoy the experience. If you will be eating alone a good
deal, choose good restaurants. In the end, they will be much better for your
digestion (消化). You may also find it useful to call the restaurant in advance
and state that you will be eating alone. You will probably get better service
and almost certainly a better table. Finally, and most importantly, get fully
prepared what you will need in your travel as a businesswoman; this starts with
lightweight luggage which you can easily carry even when fully packed. Take a
folding case inside your suitcase; it will be very useful for dirty clothes, as
well as for business documents and papers you no longer need on the trip. And
make sure you have a briefcase ( 公文箱) so that you can keep the papers you need
separate. Obviously, experience helps, but you can make things easier by
yourself from the first by careful planning, so that right from the start you
really can have a good trip.
