7、was absorbed in playing mahjong. The father, who was busy cooking, came to request her to take care of the kid.

8、r their children. They are so preoccupied with their work or recreation that they fail to spare enough time for the children. For example, a general manager, who often comes home late in the evening, would probably have no time to talk with the kids, let alone take good care of them.It is known that
9、 the parental care and guidance are very important to shape and mold the childs future. Neglected by their parents, kids often suffer great hardship. They may easily go wild without enough guidance and supervision on their study and life. Moreover, poor parental care may result in lack of confidence

12、 being overweight. It is reported that being overweight may create a bias when looking for a job, affecting the possibility to be hired as well as sometimes the starting wage. Worse still, obesity can entail you a greater risk for such diseases as heart diseases and high blood pressure. Consequently
13、, some people are so much worried that they often go to extremes when trying to lose weight.

15、ample. People who are confident in themselves will fully display their ability and personal charm, which will certainly increase the probability of getting the job.

16、eople seem to have little confidence in themselves? There are mainly two reasons that account for it. First, they usually underestimate their own capability. Therefore, they may easily give up when facing difficulties, thinking that they are bound to fail. Second, they tend to overestimate the diffi
17、culties. Thats why they get scared and feel nervous. No wonder they often experience failure instead of success.Now that we know the causes for lack of confidence, we can take measures to build up confidence. We should have accurate judgment of our ability and the difficulties we meet, and try our b
18、est to overcome the difficulties. With every achievement we make, we will surely become more and more confident.【知识模块】 大作文5 【正确答案】 We can see in the graph interesting contrast between males and females in regard to their diploma holding.

21、take a significant amount of time, hard work and money, and may not conform to the needs of some women because some of the females think they will grow too old for marriage after getting a postgraduate diploma or a masters degree.Personally, I think females should further their studies if they have the chance. Masters degrees allow women to gain specialized knowledge, increase their job flexibility and their pay. They should not be easily content but pursue an advanced degree.【知识模块】 大作文
