8,To make an estimate means to guess the number of things in a group or guess a measurement of some kind, it sometimes means to make a calculation about the future which is based not on exact data but on past experience. This kind of estimate has some basis, but it generally has to be changed and corrected later. When you estimate a number, a temperature, or a weight, you do not count things one by one or use a measuring tool. You look at a group of things without counting them and try to get a rough idea of their number, or you try to weigh something in your hand instead of on a balance. You feel hot and say “My temperature must be 38 degrees” or you look at a room and say that you estimate its area as 10 × 8 feet.
But in many situations in ordinary life we do not have time to measure things and must depend on estimates. Drivers do not have time to measure the distance between their own car and a car which is coming near. They must guess it. The guess or estimate will be based on their past experience. Experienced cooks do not
trouble to measure the amount of salt they put into the soup or sugar they mix with flour.
Suppose a man comes into the house and says “There are two inches of snow on the road”. His statement is only an estimate, but we believe it because we think that it is roughly correct. We put our boots on before we go into the snow.
For practical purposes in some situations it is safe to make estimates of quantity, but in other situations it is obviously dangerous. If it is your job to weigh drugs or make airplanes, do not depend on guessing but use an accurate instrument. 1.

13,I’m usually fairly doubtful about any research that concludes that people are either happier or unhappier or more or less certain of themselves than they were 50 years ago. While any of these statements might be true, they are practically impossible to prove scientifically. Still, I was shocked by a report which concluded that today’s children are significantly more anxious than children in the 1950s In fact, the analysis showed, normal children aged 9 to 17 show a higher level of anxiety today than children who were treated for mental illness 50 years ago.
Why are America’s kids so stressed? The report provides two main causes: increasing physical separation - brought on by high divorce rates and less involvement in community among other thins - and a growing opinion that the world is a more dangerous place. Given that “ we can’t turn the clock back”, adults can still do plenty to help the next generation.
At the top of the list is nurturing （培养） a better appreciation of the limits of individualism. No child is an island. Strengthening social ties helps build communities and protect individuals against stress.
To help kids build stronger connections with others, you can turn off TVs and computers. Your family will thank you later. They
