Most families dont realize the importance of ecofriendly livingespecially children. So how can you help children start seeing green？Well，here are a few suggestions.1). Dont buy toysborrow instead. If kids are concerned，most toys start to lose their shine (光彩).Dont let the unloved toys gather dust around the houseinstead，join a local toy library，give them to the library. And if you do buy new toys，try to buy toys made from wood and other ecofriendly materials.2). Spend time outside. Make sure your child spends time learning to be outside. Let him / her get involved in nature by planting a tree，building a birdhouse，or taking a bike ride in a nearby park.3). Teach green. Even if your child doesnt receive an environmental education in the classroom，theres no reason that you cant spread the word at home. Let your kid help out with separating your recyclables.4). Stick with ecofriendly entertainment. Most kids may not seem like interested in the subject on the environment，but put it in a TV show and theyll change their minds. Give them a taste of the online cartoon show，and youll finally find the children learn it happily and relaxingly.29 .

We look forward to success to show us our value or to be the top of the group wherever we are. How many times in our schooling did we hope for a high mark? We want it and then feel like a failure when we dont achieve what we want. Even when we succeed we still pass that and go onto the next success and then the next. We are not often taught how to face failures.For me， failure taught me more than success did. Success is of the moment and temporary(暂时的)but failure means we have ever done. It makes me stop and think. It opened my eyes and brain to different possibilities. Failure is just a choice in redoing not in giving up. Experiencing failure，I looked deeper and further.I have a grandson who plays hockey(曲棍球) and as all players do，he went through aslump. So I saw he was unhappy with himself. Then I said to him， “Why dont you think of it differently rather than being unhappy?” And I asked， “Scoring is your goal， right?” He answered，“Of course.” “Why arent you scoring now? Do you need a readjustment(重新调整)?”All of a sudden he calmed down-he was thinking of what I had just said. So in the next game I saw him trying different things to do better. Later he started scoring. Now when something is wrong， he takes the time to think it over rather than just keeping the “failure” mode(方式).Look at failure differently. Failure is what gives us power to try a different way of doing things.It teaches us to rethink， redo， and then success will come about. Dont give up but learn to use a different way.34 . According to the author，when we succeed we.Aare quite proudBare usually wild with joyCusually set up a higher goalDusually think of our failure over and over35 .
