5.How can the effects of early family life influence a person's later development?
Well, what happens during childhood is extremely important for the development of one's
personality. Parents will definitely influence a child's character a lot, and the early relationships will
shape the kid's mind. For example, if a father mistreats his child at an early age, chances are the kid
will grow up to become violent, and he won't trust anybody. On the other hand
（＝
However), if the
parents look after the child, and cover him with love, the child will learn how to be
considerate
．
Whatever happens in our early childhood has psychological consequences on everyone.
6. How can governments help to make people happy?
Well, that's a great question. I think that the government must provide nice facilities and
infrastructures, like parks, schools and stadiums. In addition, governments could organize free
activities and events for the citizens to enjoy themselves, maybe a concert or a parade. And naturally,
our leaders should fight against unemployment, try to keep the taxes low and offer occasional
surprises to please the people. Like last year, the government lowered the price of public transport
in my city, which everyone appreciated.

Let me tell you about my Chinese teacher in high school. His name is Mister Li, and he is one
of the smartest people I have ever talked to
．
He is now in his late fifties, and he has taught Chinese
as well as History for many years
．
I graduated last year, but I still keep in touch with him.
First of all, Mister Li is extremely knowledgeable. He loves reading, and he has read every
single classic from Chinese as well as foreign literature. When he taught us, he always made
references to different authors
．
He was able to cite and use many famous philosophers and poets to
illustrate his ideas. As a result, his class was always lively and fascinating.
Mister Li got a Master's degree from Tsinghua, a prestigious university in Beijing
．
This is a
school for the Chinese elite. Only the top-notch students can get into this university. I know this
because my classmates and I asked him about his educational background once after
class
．
Otherwise, he would not brag about it. Although he is very bright, he's a very modest
（＝
humble) person.
Mister Li also told us that he used to be a member of Tsinghua' s debate team, and he competed
against many other universities from all around the country. Apparently his team won many prizes
and competitions. He can think and react very fast. He's so quick-minded.
In addition
，
he just finished writing a book on education. I haven't read it yet, but I think I will
during the holiday. He's a very intelligent person, so his writing style must be very elegant. In class,
Mister Li always asked us to think for ourselves
．
He always wanted to hear our opinion. He shared
a lot of stories with us, but he always tried to make things as simple as possible for students to
understand clearly. You know, in China, we recite a lot of things, but we don't always understand
them, especially with old Chinese literature. But I remember he told us many times that it was
meaningless to learn something by heart if we could not use it again.
