And then on the way back to their homes, the professor encouraged his son to say nice about their back. And when they reached the homes, their son just went outside by bicycle. And at the end of the night, his son made several new friends. So therefore, there is one example.

And then on the way back to their homes home (家应该是单数), the professor encouraged his son to say nice about their back something nice about their bikes (原句意思不清，应该是关于孩子们的自行车说些好话). And when they reached the home, their son just went outside by bicycle. And at the end of the night, his son made several new friends. So therefore, there is one example.

Revised Answer (140 words):

The reading passage introduces behavioral exposure, a technique that encourages children to gradually perform more of a feared behavior. In the lecture, the professor used his own child as an example to explain this concept. When his son was 8 years old, they moved to a new place where the boy was initially afraid to talk to their neighbors. One night, the professor encouraged his son to greet a group of kids; although reluctant, he did so. On their way back home, the professor urged his son to compliment the kids' bikes. After returning home, the boy went outside to ride his bicycle and eventually made several new friends by the end of the night. This example effectively illustrates how behavioral exposure can help children overcome their fears.

When they moved to Los Angeles, Tommy wanted to talk to the neighborhood children but was afraid of not being accepted. The man suggested that Tommy could walk down the street and buy an ice cream.

When they reached home, his son wanted to ride a bike with him and started talking with the local children. As a result, his son got new friends at that afternoon.

(原文中的“Behavior Explorer”应改为“Behavioral Exposure”，因为这是正确的术语。另外，“height”应改为“greeting”，因为这里讲的是问候，而不是高度。最后，“back”应改为“bike”，因为这里讲的是自行车，而不是背部。)
