The Necklace
by Guy de Maupassant
She was one of those pretty and charming girls born, as though fate had
blundered over her, into a family of artisans. She had no marriage portion,
no expectations, no means of getting known, understood, loved, and wedded by
a man of wealth and distinction; and she let herself be married off to a
little clerk in the Ministry of Education. Her tastes were simple because

关于珍珠mm“会哭的孩子有糖/奶吃”的真理，还有T4819的闺女表现，延伸想到
读过的一篇文章，分享一下。 愿大家都能为培养出有成就感的孩子而自豪～
＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊
作为习惯性被保护和任何要求都能满足的孩子，将发展出“权利意识”，总把自己放在
第一位。他意识不到父母的努力付出。
当他开始工作，会认为人人都必须听他的，一旦成为经理，他永远也不会体谅员工的痛
苦，而总是责怪别人。这样的人，可能成绩很好，也可能成功一段时间，但最终不会有
成就感。他会抱怨，充满仇恨和去争更多。
如果我们是这样的保护型父母，那么我们确信是在表达爱意而不是在毁掉孩子？
你能让孩子住大房子，给他汽车出行，吃好的，学钢琴，看大屏幕电视。但当你割草时

No wonder it is so difficult to get the USA to reduce their carbon

outside can enhance neighbourly relationships, as you watch out for each
