quires the 【C1】______ of reading when he is young. He has secured a lifelong 【C2】______ of plea sure, instruction, and 【C3】______ . So long as he has his 【C4】______ books, he need never feel lonely. He always has a pleasant 【C5】______ of leisure moments, 【C6】______ he need never feel 【C7】______ .He is the possessor of wealth more 【C8】______ than gold. Ruskin Calls books "Kings' Treasuries"-- treasuries filled, not 【C9】______ gold and silver and precious stones, but with 【C10】______ much more valuable than these--knowledge, 【C11】______ thoughts, and high ideals. Poor indeed is the men who does not read, and empty is his life.

【C12】______ we choose the right kind of books, reading gives the 【C13】______ kind of pleasure. Some books we read simply for pleasure and 【C14】______ -- for example, good novels. And novels and books of imagination must have their 【C15】______ in everyone's reading. When we are tired, or the brain is weary with 【C16】______ study, it is a recreation to 【C17】______ ourselves in some absorbing story written by a 【C18】______ hand.

But to read nothing but books of fiction is like eating nothing but cakes and sweetmeats. 【C19】______ we need plain, wholesome food for the body, so we must have serious reading for the 【C20】______ . And here we can choose according to our taste.

trust and moments to【C2】______it. Customers want the truth, because without it they cannot make【C3】______decisions. For example, suppose you go out to dinner and the restaurant you choose has people waiting. When you put your name in, the host will tell you how long it is. If the host is doing his job, you will actually wait less than【C4】______you were told. If you are told the wait is 15 minutes and you are still waiting at the 30-minute mark, are you a happy customer？ At one level, it is just【C5】______. In some cases, it could【C6】______other plans: If you miss your movie because you were not【C7】______for dinner, you really are not a happy customer.

Unfortunately, many salespeople are【C8】______to tell the truth. They【C9】______some in formation, or share partial truths, or just plain lie. They do it in the【C10】______that customers will buy when they hear【C11】______they want to hear. It is true that customers want to hear certain things but【C12】______they are true. Let's go back to the restaurant.【C13】______the wait is not 15minutes-it is 90 minutes. It is not what we want to hear. Still, we can decide to stay or not to stay. If we do not stay, we will be hack. But if we【C14】______told 30 minutes and it became 90, that【C15】______the last time we ate there. Sooner or later, customers al ways find out the truth. If the truth is different than what they have been told, you have lost their trust.

Truth is【C16】______accuracy. It includes a willingness to stand behind what you say. In other words, are you willing to put your money【C17】______your mouth is？ If you are working with others, part of their【C18】______is that when something goes wrong you will stand with them. If an order is delayed, for example, how will you help them【C19】______their business commitments？ Part of earning their trust is having a backup plan in place should your【C20】______systems fail.

fewer than eight social media sites. My son, Penn, who is 15, will be asleep for hours yet. He was【C1】______all night with a friend playing two video games, in a jag fueled by his favorite foodlike【C2】______. I like that my kids are comfortable and alert in the wired world. But increasingly I am【C3】______for them. Its more【C4】______every day that screens have gradually stolen them from themselves. My wife, Cree, and I have【C5】______them to drift quite distantly into the online world, and we fear our casualness has been a【C6】______. Each summer Cree and I resolve to【C7】______things back. This is【C8】______we draft rules for a new school year, strictures like: no laptops in bedrooms during the week; homework before screen time; no electronics after 10 p.m.. These rules invariably begin to【C9】______by Day 3. By Day 4, there is pleading, and the discreet slamming of doors. By Day 8, no one is sure what the【C10】______are anymore.

It is The Big Disconnect: Protecting Childhood and Family Relationships in the Digital Age, whose primary【C13】______, Catherine Steiner-Adair, is a clinical psychologist who teaches at Harvard Medical School. Her book is【C14】______on thousands of interviews, and it can be eloquent about the need to ration our children s computer time. Here the author has pinned me.

I must change my life a bit. Cree and I are still hammering out our kids computer rules. We are trying to【C18】______in mind that we re not our kids best friends; we re their【C19】______.

ce the first day of kindergarten, spent the weekend with me. Since I moved to a new town several years ago, we have both always looked forward to the new times a year when we can see each other.

Over the weekend, we spent hours and hours, staying up late into the night, talking about the people she was hanging around with. She started telling me stories about her new boy friend, about how he experimented with drugs and was into other self-destructive behavior. I was blown away! She told me how she had been lying to her parents about where she was going and even stealing out to see this guy because they didn't want her around him. No matter how hard I tried to tell her that she deserved better, she didn't believe me. Her self-respect seemed to have disappeared.

I tried to convince her that she was ruining her future and heading for big trouble. I felt like I was getting nowhere. I just couldn't believe that she really thought it was acceptable to hang with a bunch of losers, especially her boy friend.

By the time she left, I was really worried about her and exhausted by the experience. It had been so frustrating that I had come close to telling her several times during the weekend that maybe we had just grown too far apart to continue our friendship, but I didn't.I put the power of friendship to the ultimate test. We'd been friends for far too long. I had to hope that she valued me enough to know that I was trying to save her from hurting herself. I wanted to believe that our friendship could conquer anything.

A few days later, she called to say that she had thought long and hard about our conversation, and then she told me that she had broken up with her boy friend. I just listened on the other end of the phone with tears of joy running down my face. It was one of the truly rewarding moments in my life. Never had I been so proud of a friend.
