When a golfer plays on any golf cours, he or she expects the course has a lot of hazards(障礙區(qū)) like sands,woods,and ponds of water. There is one special golf course,though,where along with these hazards that stand still,the player must expect to compete against hundreds of moving hazards. The golf course is on Christmas Island. The island is an area of Australia in the Indian Ocean,the third largest ocean in the world,lying between Africa and Australia. The moving hazards are bright red,four-and-one-half-inch (11. 4cm) crabs(螃蟹) .
Over 150 million of these brightly colored crabs live in the island's rainforests. Every year,starting around November,the crabs migrate (遷移) . They leave the rainforest and make their way to the ocean. They arrive at the coast after one to three weeks. But thQ males (雄性)return to the rainforest earlier than the females,who return about two weeks later after producing up to 100,000 eggs.
On Christmas Island there is a golf course I built on the crabs’ migration route. During the
migration season,there are hundreds of red crabs moving on the course. The rules of the Christmas Island Golf Club say that all players must treat the crabs as they would treat any other hazard. They cannot move them,and they must play around them. If a walking crab happens to knock a ball while it is on the green,hitting it into a hole,the ball is considered “in”.
Just as the golfers must compete against a moving hazard,so must the crabs. People have built roads that run through the crabs migration route. Unluckily,up to two million crabs are killed by passing vehicles every year. People are trying to reduce the number by putting up “Crab Crossing”signs and closing certain roads during the migration season.

Praise is like frosting(糖衣) on a cake. A little makes it taste better and too much will ruin everything. Kids need your encouragement and love it when you recognize their achievements. Just don't ruin their trust by leading them to believe every little thing they do is worthy of big cheers. When they grow up,they will find that they can't be accepted by society and probably think it is you who are making them so needy of praise.
Recently,I had the opportunity to observe a family,5-year-old Joshua and his parents,in action. They had arrived at my office about 15 minutes early,and having returned from lunch with a few minutes to spare,I was chatting with my secretary in the waiting room. As I was collecting my things to walk back to my office,I was taken aback by a series of Joshua's mother's comments. The kid was playing with some blocks on the floor,and Mom was giving a running commentary on his progress. “Oh,Joshua,that's such a nice stack (堆) of blocks. You are so smart!” followed by “What a great job. I couldn’ t have built that when I was your age." Then Dad added, “That's my boy”,which nearly caused my secretary to gag(使室息) .After all,the kid was 5 years old,and stacking up a few wooden blocks is not a great achievement. No wonder he was having problems following directions in school — no teacher would be able to give him the amount of attention and praise necessary to keep the child interested.
What is wrong with praising a child? Actually,it may cause a lot of harm if it is not given properly. Most parents believe that giving praise is like giving children healthy food such as calorie-free chocolate “ the more,the better. But praising children in certain ways may set them up to become praise junkies (成癮者)一 expecting their parents or others to praise them for almost every act or feeling,rather than developing internal measurement for self-respect and feelings of achievement. Try to give praise only when necessary,no more and no less.
