Do parents owe their children anything? Yes, they owe them a great deal.

One of their chief duties is to give their children a sense of personal worth(價值觀). The self-respect is the basis of good mental(心理) health. A teenager, who is often made to feel stupid and unworthy, compared to brighter brothers, sisters, or cousins, will not be so sure and will be so afraid of failing that he or she won' t try at all. Of course, they should be corrected when they do wrong. This is the way children learn. But the criticisms (批評) should be balanced with praises with a smile and a kiss. No child is ever too old to be cuddled(擁抱)

Parents owe their children firm guidance(指導(dǎo)). It is frightening for a teenager to feel that he is in charge of himself (自理);  it's like being in a car that can’t be stopped.

Parents owe their children privacy (隱私)and respect for their personal belongings. This means not taking things without permission, not reading diaries and mail, not looking through purses, pockets, and drawers.

If a mother feels that she must read her daughter's diary to know what is going on, the communication between them must be quite bad.

Parents owe their children a set of solid values (道德準(zhǔn)則) around which to build their lives. This means teaching them to respect the rights and opinions of others; it means being respectful to elders, to teachers, and to the law. The best way to teach such values is by example. A child, who is lied to, will lie. A child who sees his parents steal tools from the factory or towels from a hotel will think that it is all right to steal. A teenager who sees no laughter and no love in the home will have difficulty laughing and loving.

No child asks to be born. If you bring a life into the world, you owe the child something.

1. According to the passage, if a child is made to feel stupid and unworthy constantly, he may _______.

A. be afraid to try to do anything     B. be glad and become more brave when growing up 

C. be respectful to others           D. be in charge of himself

2. Which of the following is RIGHT?

A. Parents can read their children’s diary without their permission.

B. Children can’t be criticized at all by their parents

C. Children need not only body health but also mental health.

D. It is right that their parents do not respect children.

3. Which is the best way to let the children know the value of life?

A. To set a good example for the children to follow.

B. To talk more with the children.

C. To correct the children's mistakes in time.

D. To teach the children to respect others' rights.

4. According to the passage, if a child has made a mistake, the parents should ____.

A. not mention the mistake at all

B. punish the child strictly

C. praise the child for having not made more serious mistakes

D. criticize the child but in a mild way

5. What could be the best title for the passage?

A. Parents and Their Children

B. How to Get on Well with Your Children

C. Respect Children's Privacy

D. What Parents Owe Their Children

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答下列問題。

　　Nearly every parent says that we never grow up．In fact, maybe we are 16 or 17 years old．In their eyes, we are always little ones and always do wrong things．For example, when I need to stay at home alone, they always worry about me and my life without them．

　　Most parents always think that they have offered the best things they can to make their children live in a comfortable world．They buy their children pretty clothes, cool shoes, strange but expensive school things, and always a thousand-yuan-cost bike．They think that they have done everything they can to their dear little children．In return, they only want their little boy to give them good results in the examinations．

　　But why can’t their little babies still understand them? Why? Does it mean that they still want more material(物質(zhì)的)things? No．As a matter of fact, what they want is a true family．What does a true family mean? I think it means a place where we can hide ourselves from the outside cold world．From here, we can get warmth, we can get consolation(安慰), and we can get happiness．And one important thing is that we should be stronger and more confident in the outside world because we know that we have a family．

　　So I think that parents should save their money and sit down to talk with their children to let them know that they have a true family, so the child and his parents could understand each other more and more．Then, no boy will be regarded as a little boy．

1．What are we always like in our parents’ eyes?

___________________________

2．What do parents expect of us when they give us so much?

___________________________

3．Do children want a true family? What does a true family mean?

___________________________

4．How can parents no longer regard us as little children?

___________________________

5．Discuss in groups if your family is a true family．

Internet is educational. Many people think children should be allowed to surf the Internet as they wish. In this way, they can look through different subjects on different kinds of websites according to their own interest. But in my opinion, children should always be watched while surfing the Internet.
Many websites have information and pictures that children should not see. There are many things that children don’t understand. All of these may have some bad influence on children’s development. Also, it is more dangerous to let children use chat rooms by themselves. Many parents tell their children not to talk to strangers on the street, so they should be careful of whom their children talk to on the Internet, too. What’s more, sitting in front of a computer for a long time isn’t good for children’s eyes, so parents should monitor (監(jiān)視) the time that children spend on the Internet.
In a word, children should be kept away from anything that could be bad for them. I strongly believe that it is necessary for parents to watch their children when they use the Internet.
【小題1】 Is the Internet educational for children all the time?

In many high schools，there are strict rules about using mobile phones. If your phone rings in class，for example，the teacher will be very angry.
Every mobile phone has a ringtone (鈴聲). It tells you that someone is calling you. Now，there is a ringtone called “mosquitotone (蚊子鈴聲)”. Using it，students can receive calls and text messages (短信) in class but the teacher will not realize what is happening. How?
Mosquitotone has a special sound. Only children and teenagers can hear it. As we get older，we are unable to hear some sounds with high frequencies (頻率). As a result，a child or teenager can hear the mosquitotone ringtone, but it’s_inaudible_to someone 20 or older.
But sometimes，people over 20 can hear the ringtone. One British student’s phone uses mosquitotone. In class，the student’s phone rang. The 32­year­old teacher looked at the student and became unhappy. “I heard that. You know the rule：no mobile phone in class.”
Not all the students are interested in mosquitotone. Jerry Jones，a high school student of 17，says，“Using mosquitotone too often is bad for our hearing. I may use it for pleasure，but not in class. It’s unfair to the teachers！”
What do parents think of mosquitotone？“I think it is perfect for places like movie theaters，” says Connie Neeson,44.“Think about it. Yon’re watching a film and someone’s mobile phone rings. Mosquitotone is good because many people don’t hear it. However，it also has a bad influence on their study if students use it in class.”
【小題1】Mosquitotone works because ________.

A．it is very loudB．it has no sound
C．it has a beautiful soundD．it uses high frequencies
【小題2】The under lined part “it’s_inaudible_to” means “________”．
A．it can’t be seen byB．it can’t be heard by
C．it isn’t popular withD．it isn’t healthy for
【小題3】The 32­year­old teacher felt unhappy because the student ________.
A．was late for classB．didn’t do his homework
C．couldn’t answer her questionD．was using a mobile phone in class
【小題4】Connie Neeson thinks that mosquitotone ________.
A．has no bad influenceB．is unfair to the teachers
C．has its advantage and disadvantageD．can’t be used in any public place
