Two weeks ago, a 5-year-old girl named Sunshine Oelfke emptied out her piggy bank （存钱罐）onto the living room floor and immediately started counting． Her grandmother, Jackie Oelfke, thought she was playing as she carefully lined up the coins, but then she saw the girl put the coins into a plastic bag and place it in her backpack．
"That aroused my curiosity," Jackie told CBS News． "Nobody messes with the piggy bank．" After observing Sunshine at work a few minutes longer, Jackie decided to find out why the little girl broke into her savings．
"What are you doing with that money?" Jackie asked her granddaughter．
"I'm taking it to school," Sunshine replied． The little girl finally stated the real reason why she needed the money． "I'm going to take it for milk money． My friend Layla doesn't get milk—her mom doesn't have milk money and I do．"
Jackie's heart melted at Sunshine's words． Choked with strong feelings, Jackie held her sweet granddaughter tightly in her arms．
Last week, Jackie and Sunshine met with her teacher, Rita Hausher, and handed her the﹩30 the kindergartner had saved． There are 20 kids in Sunshine's class and about half don't get milk． It costs ﹩0.45 a carton（纸盒）．The total adds up to about ﹩180 a month for every child in the class to have milk every day．
After dropping Sunshine off at school, Jackie posted a tearful video on Facebook to explain her granddaughter's plan． To her surprise, dozens of people offered to donate toward the cause． Within a week, Jackie raised more than ﹩1，000． Now every student in Sunshine's class can get free milk for the rest of the year．
Jackie said Sunshine doesn't see her kind act as a big deal． She was just trying to look out for her friends． "She doesn't understand the effect she's brought about," Jackie said． "But now she knows she can do whatever she puts her mind to．"

According to some researchers, you should not praise children for everything that they do. It does not help them build self-confidence.
Most parents and teachers agree that praise can help increase children’s self-confidence — the more, the better. However, according to some researchers, only proper praise is good for children. If adults praise everything children do, it makes children look for praise all the time, not trying to do their best. "Teachers should not say things like ʽgood job’ or ʽnice work’ whenever a child does anything. They should encourage them to continue to improve," some researchers advise.
Another idea is that children with high self-confidence are happier, and do better at school. About this, Marshall Duke, a researcher in children, says, "High self-confidence brought in by too much praise does not make children happier, get more, or become able to do more. Finding a child’s advantages and developing them can help build confidence more than too much praise can." Praise also loses its effect if it is given equally to all students.
“It’s important to tell children the truth about what they’ve done. Honest feedback is far better than empty praise," Duke adds. "People have got into the habit of not telling children when they’re wrong. That makes it hard for them to deal with difficulties when they grow up. That’s just how the world is."

B.The same praise for all children has no meaning.

To whom it may concern,
I am one of your customer. I am unwilling to complain, and your service really annoys me. I order a set of Bookworm Series on your website the other day, but not until yesterday I receive it. Much to my disappointment, the books were so poorly packed up that the cover of one book was torn. To make matters bad, it was not a complete set, as I found one book missed.
I am sorry to have received such poor service. I believe I have every right to ask you to deal with a problem. I hope that you either return my money back or deliver a new set of books to me. Therefore, I’d like to be informed of the process of your dealing with my complain.
Looking forward to your reply.
Sincerely,
Wang Ling
