　　Customer reviews
　　I bought several books on a recent trip to Amsterdam, but this was the only one I used while walking and sightseeing. The book’s small sies it convenient to hold, but don’t be fooled: this book is jam-packed with useful information. And, unlike the Eyewitness Travel Guides, which are also great, this book lists a good number of budget accommodations and also provides important details that I found, for the most part, very accurate. The section on what to do outside Amsterdam was also extremely useful. My glasses broring the trip, and the booally listed places to get them fixed or replaced! It was amazing how much practical information they squeezed into a small book. Overall, the best travel guide I’ve seen to Amsterdam!

　　Gates told a crowd of Harvard students last Thursday he spent two years there taking math and computer science courses as a pre-law student, but never finished up his degree (though he was gifted an honorary diploma from the Ivy League university) “My eldest graduates from Standford in June, so I’m optimistic she won’t fall into my footsteps,”Gates joked.
　　Gates said he and his wife have been quite deliberate about the 1970s “Love and Logic”parenting model they’ve used to raise their three children, who are now 15, 18, and 22 years old, the core idea of the model is centered on the idea that applying emotional control, essentially minimizing emotional reactions liting kids. “One of the greatest benefits of the model is that it helps us learn how to keep a tighter control on our emotions and on our tongues,”co-founder Charles Fay wrote in a blog post. Gates admits he and his wife haven’t been perfect at carrying out the approach. “Can you get rid of the emotion? You can’t totally do it.”He said.
　　Apart from holding hot-blooded parent tempers, the love and logic model also stresses the importance of not leaning into rewards for t instead demonstrating unconditional love and admiring kids for who they are, not what they do (or don’t) achieve. Fay wrote on his site. “What’s most important is that our children develop good character, curiosity, and problem-solving skills.
　　The model is a bit like the Socratic method, in that it pushes parents to focus on asestions of their kids and getting them to thint how to solve their own problems, instead of feeding them answers.
　　24. What can we infer about Gates’s children?
　　A. They were given an honorary diploma.
　　B. They have graduated from the college.
　　C. The eldest one hasn’t finished her study in college.
