       TORONTO - A new report from the Vanier Institute for the family says that there are more problem children today than 50 years ago.
       York University professor Anne Ambert, the writer of the report, says that bad influences on children come from parents, schools, neighbors, the media (媒體), etc.
       Children today have bad behavior. They argue more with others. They stop others when others are
talking. They are less polite to others. They choose to fight rather than discuss when they disagree with
each other. When they have disagreements with their parents, they want to run away from home. They
tell more lies (謊話(huà)). When they need money, they would rather steal (偷) than work hard.
       There is not enough family education about how kids behave well. Parents should care more about
their kids. There are more and more single-parent families and more violence (暴力) on TV and in other
kinds of media.
       The report is a study about why there are more children with bad behavior. Everyone should pay
more attention to this problem.

each other to run. They know that there is danger. The rabbit has told them something without making
many other animals use this kind of language. When a cobra is angry, it raises its sound. It has given them
a signal and makes itself look fierce. This warns other animals. When a bee has found some food, it goes
back to its home. It cannot tell the other bees where the food is by speaking to them, but it does a little
dance in the air. This tells the bees where the food is. Some animals say things by making sound. A dog
barks, for example when a stranger comes near. A cat purrs when pleased. Some birds make several
different sounds, each with its own meaning.
