Volunteers make a harmonic society
Just as the saying goes: each heart has its own sorrow. As a matter of fact, we were born and we keep living in the world, so much frustration and difficulties have got ready to test us out. It is unforeseen that disasters always happen such as the traffic accident, the floodwater and the illness etc. There are so many unforeseen things in our lives, we fail to know what would happen to us in the future, even in the next second. When we meet difficulties we yearn for others’ help, the help is so important to us that I can’t imagine what the life would be without it.
We need others’ help in everyday life. The other day, I had a stomachache, I felt so painful, one of my best friend gave me a cup of hot water, and told me to take the medicine. She also cleaned up the classroom instead of me (the day when I was on duty). I couldn’t show my gratitude in my words for her helping.
All of the above stories tells us one truth——people need other’ help. Do you know volunteers? They are a group of people who always do things for others, but never ask for any reward. They do their work zealously and earnestly. They devote their whole life to people who are in trouble. They are ordinary people, but their spirit makes them heroes in everyone’s hearts. The spirit influences everyone, and reminds me to help others if someone asks me a question -----who is the greatest person in the world? I will tell him loudly without hesitation----It’s volunteers, of course!

People in this world can be divided into two categories: those always working and those always making comments. The working ones never have time to idle away. Some may run a hotel, or do some business; some may open a factory or set up a school; others may be absorbed in scientific research, or devoted to military affairs or political issues. Right or wrong, successful or failed, they are always fully committed to their careers. Facing all kinds of risks(not because they neglect them, but mainly because they have the courage), and shouldering the responsibilities, they march forward, bravely and cautiously. They are risking their luck and their lives as well. They have neither time nor energy to comment on others. While attentively planning the future, they devote themselves wholly in hard work, leaving the embroidered stories and malicious gossips flying in the air. The commenting ones, however, usually work less, and even if they want to work sometimes, they simply are not capable enough. They are no better than anyone, but show admiration to nobody either. They blame either the heaven, or the earth, but never themselves. They dare not to take any risks, but they are also afraid of any hard work. They are gossip-mongers, making stories and spreading rumors, making you feel annoyed and upset. It's not because that you have hurt them, or disturbed them, or hindered them, but because you are working. If only you are working, he is there commenting. Everything is hard at the beginning. You have just started a new cause, needing encouragement and support, yet he is there pouring a jar of cold water or blowing a gust of chilly wind, making you worried or perplexed. But once you have succeeded, he is there again sharing your success without feeling a little ashamed of the discouragement he had given you.
Many people don't like using their mind but enjoy echoing the views of others. They often take it for granted that the working ones are wrong while the commenting ones are definitely right. However in all fairness, how can it be true? Not working itself is already wrong, and it is a blunder to hurt the hard working people.
From ancient time to the present, many great men have been commented on endlessly. Take the cases of Confucius, Emperor Qinshihuang, Empress Wu Zetian, Gengis Khan, Dr. Sun Yet-sun, Chairman Mao, Deng Xiaoping, etc.. Both positive and negative criticism have been made about them. They not only enjoyed compliments but also suffered slanders from all over the world.
When commenting on what's right and what's wrong, the commenting ones themselves don't really know what is wrong and what is right. They are simply demanding perfection. When criticizing the others' inability, they themselves are actually unable to do anything, but simply pretending that they know better. This can well be compared with the actors and spectators. A new program is always followed by large amounts of criticism from the spectators. But if a spectator is given a chance to perform, a disaster will surely happen. Diners are always commenting on the skills of the chefs while readers are always criticizing the writers. Another case in point is the forty-chapter sequel of A Dream of the Red Mansions , which were written by Gao E who did a nearly perfect job. Nevertheless there are always such people who claim to be the experts on the novel, criticizing the latter forty chapters as a wretched sequel to a fine work. What if we ask them to write the sequel? I'm afraid they can only make it worse. It's easier said than done.
Capable and wealthy people are always the focus of the society.
Capable people are usually marching ahead of others and may not be properly understood, hence causing various kinds of comments, more criticism but less support;
Capable people can easily succeed, thus causing both admiration and comments, more jealousy but less appreciation (only their good luck is recognized);
Capable people can be sought for help and attract the attention of the society, thus causing a lot of comments, more complaints but less gratitude (even though they didn't ask anyone for help, if only they were not able to help others in a satisfactory way, it's already their fault);
Capable people can also suffer setbacks (some even experience ups and downs many times), experiencing fully the warmth and coldness of the human world, more hurts but less helps.
Wealthy people are non the easier. No doubt there are cruel-hearted rich men, but it is also wrong to think that no wealthy people are kind-hearted. They are capable of devising and managing and they often need to take risks to get the chance. But who care about these?
Whenever a group are dining or entertaining, everyone will take it for granted that the rich should pay the bill instead of going Dutch. If the rich doesn't pay, then he'll definitely be regarded as a miser;
Among good friends and relatives, the rich should often help the poor, otherwise he will surely be blamed for his cruel-heartedness;
From the ancient times, people have been used to killing the rich to save the poor, without thinking about how the rich became rich and the poor stayed poor. The policy of “allowing some people to get rich” has balanced people's mind to some extent, but there is still a long way to go before we can get rid of “the hatred toward the wealthy”.
Capable people or rich people are just human, neither sages nor perfect men. They have their own faults, and they may also commit mistakes. But objectively speaking, some mistakes are forced on them, which are the expectations of the public. They are expected to do this or that, but when expectations become disappointments, they have to take the blaming. In fact, it's the public's fault to demand for perfection or counting on unrealistic expectations of the rich.
I encourage people to work, even though they may commit mistakes.
I advise those enjoying commenting to make some effort to do something for the others.
I hope people can make comments objectively instead of subjectively, without going to extremes, and not out of preference.
I also hope that the hard-working people do not care too much about what the others say, even what the others criticize. You should believe that public opinions will finally decide what's right and what's wrong. What we need is just time.
世界上总有一些人在做事，总有一些人在说事。做事的人不闲着，或者包个饭店，或者搞个买卖，或者办个工厂，或者建个学校，或者专心科研，或者从军从政。也许对，也许错；也许成功，也许失败，但很投入。他们担着天下的风险（并非都是忽略，大多还是敢于面对），扛着双肩的责任，奋然前行，又战战兢兢，常常是在赌运、也赌命。他们没有时间去说别人的事，也没有精力去理会别人的事。他们抬头看路，埋头做事，任由别人的飞短流长。
说事的人，常常是不大做事。或者也曾经想做事，但做不来。他们可能谁都不如，但又谁都不服。怨天怨地，不怨自己。他们不敢担任何的风险，又不肯出少许的力气。一件事，他们能从头说到尾。先是乌鸦叫，后来喜鹊噪，一会一变脸，令你心烦闹。
并不是你伤害了他，并不是你干扰了他，并不是你阻碍了他。但只要你在做事，他就会来说事。万事开头难。当你刚刚起步，正需要鼓励与支持的时候，他会一盆凉水，一股阴风，让你浑身不舒服。而一旦你业有所成，他又会满面春风地来分一瓢羹，好象不曾给过你那片下雨的乌云。
世上有许多人不喜欢动脑，却习惯于人云亦云。他们常以为错在做事的人，理在说事的人。但平心而论，怎么会这样呢？不做事，本身就是错。再打击做事的人，不是错上加错嘛！
从古至今，许多能人，伟人，都被无休无止地评论着。如孔夫子、秦始皇、武则天、成吉思汗、孙中山、毛泽东、邓小平等，说是的有，说非的也有。也堪称誉满天下，谤满天下。
说人是非，并非明白是非，不过是求全责备而已。说人不行，未必自己真行，不过装腔作势而已。就如演员与观众，每个节目出来，都会有一大堆褒贬。但真让观众上台，可能又演不成了。食客总是在评论厨师的手艺，读者总是在评论作者的长短。再如《红楼梦》的后四十回，乃高鄂所续写。公平地说，几近天衣无缝。但就有那么些人，甚至打着红学家的招牌，一定要说后四十回怎么不行，怎么狗尾续貂。真不行吗？就让这几位“红学家”写写看，他们恐怕连鼠尾都拿不出来。侃山容易，搬山难啊。
能人、富人，永远都是社会的焦点。
能人可能超前，为世人所不理解，会引起议论纷纷，支持的少，攻击的多。
能人可能成功，引起世人的羡慕，也会引起众多评论，佩服的少，嫉妒的多。（只承认你的运气和侥幸）
能人可能被求助，受到世人的关注，从而导致事后的品评，感谢的少，抱怨的多。（你没有求人，但别人求你的事没办或没办好，都是你的错。）
能人也会遭遇挫折，（有人甚至三起三落）感受人心的冷暖，洞知世态的炎凉，帮扶的少，推墙的多。
富人也不轻松。固然也有为富不仁者，但也不能说所有的富者都不仁。他们还有经营能力和运作手段，并且常常要充满冒险地去把握先机。但谁管这些？
一群人吃饭或游乐，大家一定会认为要富者买单，而不是 AA 制。如果你不买，那就是吝啬。
在亲朋好友的圈子里如果有富者，那就必须经常周济他人，否则就会被指责无情无义。
自古就有“杀富济贫”，不管富是怎么富，贫是怎么贫。允许一部分人先富起来的政策，让人们的心态好多了。但仇富观念的消除，还要漫长的历程。
能人、富人都是人，既不神圣，也非完人。他们都有自身的毛病，也会犯各种错误。但平心而论，还有一种错误是别人强加的，那就是众人的期望。期望他们这样，期望他们那样，期望变成了失望，就成了他们的错。对他们求全责备也好，对他们非份希求也好，其实都不应算作他们的错。
我主张鼓励做事的人，哪怕他们真的有错。
我奉劝说事的人，自己也努力去做些可做的事。
我希望人们能平心而论天下事，不要偏激，不要掺杂个人的恩怨，不要取舍于个人的得失。我更希望做事的人，不要太在意别人一时怎么说、甚至怎么骂。要相信，是非自有公论，只是个时间问题。

1. Introduction
This report focuses on infants and toddler’s learning skills and how those skills extend learning of other aspect. The background of this topic looks at the listening process and the importance of listening for infants and toddler’s development. The fist section uses learning theory and curricular approaches to examine infants and toddler’s listening skill’s development. The second section examines the themes of security, identity and exploration and illustrates the significance of listening skills with those three themes. The last section discusses the links with Te Whariki, the art curriculum and recommendations for practice.
2. Background.
“At all levels, all music experience is dependent on perceptive listening and a sensitive response to music’s expressive qualities” (Ministry of Education, 1993, p31). From this view we can see clearly that listening is quite important for children’s music development and learning especially for infants and toddlers because of their limited abilities. The sense of hearing function begins in the womb. Newborns can imitate the pitch of different sounds and identify the sound of their mother’s voice. But hearing is not listening. Lerner, Mardell-Czudnowski and Goldenberg identified listening process as hearing, focusing on what is heard, identifying what is heard, translating this into meaning and interpreting it and then remembering it (MacNaughton & Williams,2004). “The key to development of listening skills is the ability to perceive sounds and to form thoughts about those sounds” (Campbell & Scott-Kassner,1995, p159). For infants and toddlers, educators can encourage children to experience with a variety of sounds and to become more sensitive in their listening. The variety of sounds including sounds from natural environment, songs, play instrument and record equipment. Familiar music can increase infants and toddlers’ interests and understanding (Ministry of education, 1993). The active listening skills can enforce children other aspect’s development such as the development of language, physical and relationships.
3. Literature review
Albert Bandura recognizes that children acquire many skills including listening through modeling (Berk, 2004). His social learning theory believe that modeling and observational learning can be seen as a powerful source of development (Berk, 2004). In other words, observation learning give observers opportunity to attend to other people’s behavior, then observers might remember this behavior as a model and then replicate it in different situation. Children especially infants and toddlers response to others simply by observing and listening what are parents or caregivers doing around them. A research about infant’s musical development demonstrated that children learn to how to listen by doing as their models do (Isenberg &Jalongo, 2006). Educators can be a model to show active listening skills to children to help them learn such as listening carefully and focus on what is heard (MacNaughton & Williams, 2004). One positive way of Model good listening habits for infants and toddlers in the early childhood setting can be reassure them that they will be heard (Jalongo, 1996).
Lave and Wenger’s situated learning theory put forward Albert Bandura’s social learning theory by considering that social experience provide the proper context for learning to take place (Smith, 1999). Newborns can recognize their mother’s voice and they are also able to “discriminate their mother’s voice from others and alter their behavior to select it”, because newborns had a lot of listening experience with their mothers (Wylie, 2004,p10). “When listening experiences are tailored to develop their musical abilities, then the complete musicians inside then begin to emerge” (Campbell &Scott-Kassner, 1995, p7). Every child has individual experience to make sense of their learning. However, Infants and toddlers listen to music and sound what parents and educators offer to them. Therefore, Parents and educators’ taste and preference of music might limit infants and toddlers’ listening experience. In order to overcome those barrieries, educators and parents need to open mind to a wide range of music and provide more chances for them to listen to different sounds. Repeating experience can help children to improve their listening skills especially for young children. Young children need time and take effort to consider what they received from outer world. Based on respectful pedagogy, educators and parents also need to think about the quality of music and choose the most suitable music for children. For example, “researchers have found that sounds of five to fifteen seconds seem to have the most effect on the infant’s level of activity and heart rate” (Isenberg &Jalongo, 2006, P110). If educators or parents choose long music for infants, the music not only can not stimulate children’s listening skills, but also waste children’s energy to focus on it. Infants need some quiet time and soft tones, by comparison, toddlers need more complex music (Denham, 2001).
Gordon suggest that “the highest level of music aptitude occurs immediately after birth when the infant is most attuned to the slightest variations in sound, not yet knowing what their language or culture is going to expect them to know” (Wylie, 2006, p30). Isenberg and Jalongo agree with Gordon’s idea, they stated that “children quite naturally listen, sing, dance, play and express themselves musically, with little or no previous training” (Isenberg and Jalongo, 2006, p7). The natural responses to music is a gift for all children. Educators need to be as open and as creative as possible; music environment should be as flexible as possible. In order to prompt infants and toddler’s listening skills, a environment that is full of a variety of sounds need to be provided. Creating a listening environment means “making efforts to help children focus, eliminate distractions, and overcome barriers to listening” (Jolongo, 1996, p22). Olds suggest that natural environment provide subtle variations of sound such as rain, wind, birds, and so on for children to explore (Denham, 2001). Educators need to bring attitudes of openness, curiosity, and discovery to the act of listening.
“The Reggio approach is a constructivist project approach and emergent curriculum based on teachers’ abilities to attend carefully and thoughtfully to children’s interests and curiosity”(Jordan-DeCarbo & Nelson, 2002, p229). In this approach, young children were viewed as competent and their early experiences are valued as meaningful. Children’s listening experience started at mother’s womb. Before birth, the foetus hears tone, pitch, melody and rhythm pattern through their mother’s body. Listening to people’s voice and noticing differences from other sounds seems to be an early skill of human beings. Infants are able to imitate the pitch of different sounds. “From the very beginning child will learn the skills of listening as parents or educators talk and the child coos back in a loving interplay” (Wylie, 1996, p21.) Encourage young children to respond to their educators’ voice and at the same time listen to children’s voice carefully. If educators can listen carefully to young children’s voice, they will understand what young children’s current interests are and are able to respond and extend their interests properly. Young children will learn how to listen activity by observing their educators or parents’ behaviors. The pleasure experience of listening activity can enforce children’s further music development.
“Montessori curricular approach tend to have a belief in child as an active learner in an interactive environment who is constructing and revising her versions of the world and finding multiple means to interpret and express them”(Jordan-DeCarbo & Nelson, 2002, p232). Young children actively explore different sounds around them even before born. Newborns are able to recognize their mother’s voice. This special listening capability of newborns encourage parents to communicate with their babies to extend their further listening development (Gonzalez-Mena & Eyer, 2004). The interaction between infants and parents not only strengths the emotional tie, but also stimulate children’s language development.
