I dont need to tell you that our job is a tough one.When you re managing children,it can be difficult to remember that they are still learning.If you find that you are yelling at your kids more often than you want to,here are some ways that can help you reduce the yelling.Ive been working on this for the past few months and I have to say,its been amazingIfor both the kids and me.If you are having an argument with your child,you need to make sure you both take the time to really listen.It gives both of you time to think and really listen to each other,which is important.Kids are more likely to listen to you if you listen to them!(66)One of your biggest struggles is to remind yourself of appropriate expectations.You cant expect that your youngest acts as responsibly as your oldest.You should lower what youexpect-taking into consideration things like their age-it can make a big difference.You should do your best to take a moment before yelling and take in a deep breath.It makes a world of difference foryou.Instead of yelling,youd better whisper.It can also help diffuse any situation by making things quieter,not louder.(67)Besides,the more time you spend with your kids,the better youll get at communicating with them.Youre both more likely to understand each other.If your children arent listening or it seems they only dont listen to you,you dont take it personally.You should remind

science,there has been an increasing interest in supply chain management.Supply chain is defined as a network composed of factories,suppliers,retailers,customers etc.They supply to each other raw materials,components,products and services.Undoubtedly,information plays an important role in supply chain management because it provides the facts that managers useto make decisions.Without information,a manager will not know what consumers want,how much inventory is in stock and when more products should be produced and shipped.In short,without information,a manager can only make decisions blindly.Managers must understand how information is gathered and analyzed.This is where information technology comes into play.(70)Information technology serves as the eyes and ears of management in a supply chain,capturing and delivering the information necessary to make a good decision.For instance,an IT system at a personal computer manufacturermay help a manager analyze the information and recommend an action.The manager can use the remaining chips first,then look at demand forecast,and determine whether to order more chips.Supply chain information systems are the threads that link logistics activities into an integrated process.There are four reasons why timely and accurate information has become more important for effective logistics system design and operations.First,customers recognize information about order status,product availability,delivery schedule,and shipment tracking as necessary elements of total customer service.Then,managers realize that information can be used to reduce human resource requirements.Whats more,information flexibility with regard to how,when,and where resource maybe used to gain strategic advantage.And finally enhanced information transfer and exchange capability of using the Internet is changing relationships between buyers and sellers and refining channel relationships.51.According to the passage,about

chain is to supply raw materials D.information plays an important role in supply chain management 52.The word capturing in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to_.A.learning B.producing C.catching D.improving 53.We can infer from Paragraph 2 that information technology _.A.is necessary for managers to make decisions B.is only used in manufacturing computers C.makes people use information freely D.is helpful for weather forecast 54.The reason for the use of informationin logistics is _.A.information can help customers buy goodsat a lower price B.the relationship between buyers and sellers gets more complex by modern information C.the choices of transportation are timely provided for suppliers D.the requirements of human resource are reduced by using information 55.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?_ A.The Use of Information Technology in Management B.The Importance of Information in Supply Chain C.The Development of InformationTechnology in Logistics
