Why do some parents tend to hold back their disabled children from experiencing life? Even when they are grown, the parents will not allow certain things to happen. It's true that they do have a certain amount of responsibility in protecting their severely disabled adult child, but at what point do they become overly protective?

Parents want to create a safe haven, a place where they know that nothing bad will happen to their beloved child. This seems to be a respectable and notable act in caring for a person with a disability, but it can have a side effect. When protecting their child from suspected hardships, not wanting anything bad to happen to them, they very well may be preventing good things from happening to them.

In life we all make mistakes, it is how we are able to grow and strengthen our character. Parents may feel that in certain instances their child will get hurt or mistreated in some way, so they build walls in their own minds convincing themselves of the need to shelter. However, the disabled, yes even the “severely disabled” deserve to make personal mistakes as well. Even more, they have the right to succeed.

Parents should do everything and anything within their power to see their disabled children lead a somewhat “normal” life. Parents should help their children, not hold them down. This could make them think they are unworthy and that their parents do not believe in them.

Whatever it may be, let them at least try. If they want to attend college, so be it. Parents should find out all they can, and be involved in every detail. Get to know the aides, experience it with them. If they want to dare and someday marry, so be it. Don't shut them out and form bad or critical opinions about them just because you are afraid. Unite as a family and make it work.

1.What side effect will it have when the parents overprotect their disabled children?

A. Their children will never grow up in the future.

B. Their children will find no shelter when they grow up.

C. Their children will become less confident when facing troubles.

D. Their children will less likely meet with good things.

2.What attitude does the author hold towards the parents who overprotect their disabled children?

A. Supportive. B. Objective. C. Critical. D. Uninterested.

3.The suggestions in the last paragraph imply that ________.

A. parents should be a bridge, not a brick wall

B. parents should act as their children’s best friends

C. parents should encourage their children to get married

D. parents should live in harmony with their disabled children

4.What is the best title of this passage?

A. Living Within Parents’ Power

B. Letting Your Disabled Child Succeed

C. Getting out of a Brick Wall in Their Life

D. Helping Your Disabled Child out of Trouble

Flight cancellations(取消) and loss of luggage can ruin even the best-planned holiday. The key to a stress-free trip is having a backup plan.

Fly non-stop. The worst problems involve connections, so it is important to take non-stop flights whenever possible. If you do have to make a connection, try to route through a southern city, where snowstorms and de-icing delays will be less likely. Always allow at least two to three hours for flight connections.

Check the weather. Check the weather in your connecting city, not just the arrival and departure city. If your departure flight is cancelled because of weather, you can go home or back to your hotel. Airlines promise to get you on the next available flight, not the next flight. That could be several days later on a sold-out holiday weekend.

Go early. The earlier in the day you fly, the better your chance of getting rebooked the same day after a missed connection. It will also put you ahead of stranded(滯留的) passengers who arrive later.

Rebook immediately. As soon as your flight is delayed or cancelled, get on the phone and rebook your flight instead of waiting at the ticket counter. If your rebooking is delayed, call or ask your travel agent to find a seat on another carrier, and then ask your original carrier to endorse your ticket to the new airline. Airlines are not required to do this but often do. Learn more at www. dot. gov/ airconsumer/ fly-rights.

Ship bags. A few days before your flight, ship suitcases or holiday gifts to your destination by a documented express service. It’s preferable to losing bags because of re-routed flights and sometimes cheaper than paying airline overweight bag fees.

Know your rights. Airlines are not required to compensate passengers for delayed or cancelled flights, but it never hurts to ask for goodwill vouchers(折扣) for meals, taxis or a room.

1.When making a flight connection, it’s common that you’ll___________.

A. stop in the south B. choose a good city without snowstorm

C. be trapped in the storm D. wait for two or three hours

2.The suggested way for you to rebook your flight is___________.

A. through the phone B. by waiting at the ticket counter

C. by changing another airline D. by surfing the Internet

3.The underlined word “compensate” in the last paragraph can be replaced by “___________”.

A. pay B. ask C. host D. treat

4.What’s the best title of the passage?

A. The Worst Problem in the Trip.

B. The Preparation Before the Flight Trip.

C. How to Book the Plane Ticket.

D. How to Plan the Holiday.
