The other day at a supermarket, I saw a naughty boy of about six crying loudly, falling to the floor and refusing to move. All the while the troubled mother was trying to persuade him to behave well but failed．A little smack on his bottom would have done the job，I thought．
Teenagers also cause discipline(紀(jì)律)problems．As a teacher, I had a 16-year-old student who had fallen in love with a waiter at a fast-food restaurant．In fact，she had left home to stay with him．So we decided to put her in the school hostel．She refused．When she heard her mother begging her to stay in the hostel she turned round and said：“Why don't you stay in the hostel if you like it so much?”
My palms were itching to slap her for being so rude but the poor mother continued to cajole her，hoping that gentle persuasion would work wonders．It did not．The last I heard，she had run away from home again．
The list goes on and on．Could it be that today's parents are softer and believe that they must not rod(棍棒懲罰)their children for fear of the bad result? Or do they actually believe that the children will get rid of the bad habits and behave well naturally as they grow older? I beg to disagree．I believe it is the parents' duty to discipline the children even at a young age．
My children who are now adults will prove the fact that I used the rod when I thought it necessary．Later when they went abroad，they related to their British university friends on how they were disciplined．Their friends abroad were filled with horror and told my daughter that I could be charged with child abuse(虐待)．However，my daughter showed great respect for me when she told them that she would not be where she was today if not for my strict discipline．
【小題1】The underlined word“cajole”probably means ．
| A．persuade | B．scold | C．forgive | D．punish |
| A．beat the children every day | B．treat the children in a softer way |
| C．leave the children as they are | D．punish the children when necessary |
| A．the naughty boy’s mother hit him |
| B．the teacher’s daughter is living with the teacher |
| C．the author’s daughter was thankful for the author’s strict discipline |
| D．the author was charged with child abuse by her daughter’s friends abroad |
| A．Spoil Kids | B．Value Discipline | C．Respect Parent | D．Protect Kids |

We have two daughters: Kristen is seven years old and Kelly is four. Last Sunday evening, we invited some people home for dinner. I dressed them nicely for the party, and told them that their job was to join Mommy in answering the door when the bell rang. Mommy would introduce them to the guests, and then they would take the guests’ coats upstairs and put them on the bed in the second bedroom.
The guests arrived. I introduced my two daughters to each of them. The adults were nice and kind and said how lucky we were to have such good kids.
Each of the guests made a particular fuss over Kelly, the younger one, admiring her dress, her hair and her smile. They said she was a remarkable girl to be carrying coats upstairs at her age.
I thought to myself that we adults usually make a big “to do” over the younger one because she’s the one who seems more easily hurt. We do it with the best of intentions. But we seldom think of how it might affect the other child. I was a little worried that Kristen would feel she was being outshined. I was about to serve dinner when I realized that she had been missing for twenty minutes. I ran upstairs and found her in the bedroom, crying.
I said, “What are you doing, my dear?”
She turned to me with a sad expression and said, “Mommy, why don’t people like me the way they like my sister? Is it because I’m not pretty? Is that why they don’t say nice things about me as much?”
I tried to explain to her, kissing and hugging her to make her feel better.
Now, whenever I visit a friend’s home, I make it a point to speak to the elder child first.
【小題1】What were Kristen and Kelly asked to do last Sunday evening? (No more than 20 words.)
____________________________________________________________________
【小題2】Why did the guests praise Kelly so much rather than Kristen? (No more than 15 words.)
____________________________________________________________________
【小題3】The underlined expression “make a big ‘to do’ over” in Paragraph 4 means ________________. (No more than 5 words.)
【小題4】Why did Kristen feel sad and cry? (No more than 15 words.)
____________________________________________________________________
【小題5】In your opinion, how should adults treat children? (No more than 15 words.)

Do you enjoy seeing the stars twinkling at night ? Or do you love the ocean and sea, diving and racing with lovely dolphins? With heavy burdens on their shoulders, teenagers find it hard to pull out. Even if they are free, they prefer to occupy themselves with computer games or watching TV. How to get children away from screens is a great concern for parents. Now there is some good news for those concerned parents and teachers.
A campaign is being launched to encourage children to surrender 30 minutes of screen time a day to head for the great outdoors.
The newly formed Wild Network – a collaboration of nearly 400 organizations – is attempting to attract youngsters away from television and computer screen and into fields, woods and parks.
Organizers say it is the UK's biggest ever campaign to reconnect children with nature and outdoor play, and claim it could help improve fitness, mental alertness and general well–being.
A documentary film, Project Wild Thing, will herald the launch at more than 50 cinemas across the UK from Friday. It looks at the increasingly fragile link between children and nature.
Members of the network include the National Trust, RSPB, Play England and the NHS sustainable development unit.
Andy Simpson, chairman of the Wild Network, said: "The tragic truth is that kids have lost touch with nature and the outdoors in just one generation. Time spent outdoors is down, roaming ranges have fallen drastically, activity levels are declining and the ability to identify common species has been lost."
Suggestions of how to get more time in nature include collecting conkers(板栗), camping or snail racing, and observing autumn colour on trees.
From January, the network will aim to make suggestions to politicians on how government can do more to get children muddy and bright-eyed.
This is not the first time the message of less screen, more play has been brought up. Children in the 1980s were entreated to do the same by the BBC TV series Why Don't You, which somewhat confusingly called on its viewers to "switch off your TV set, and go do something less boring instead".
1.What is the main purpose of the campaign in UK?
A. To save 30 minutes for watching TV programme each day.
B. To encourage children to play outdoors.
C. To see the documentary film, Project Wild Thing.
D. To teach students how to learn more efficiently in schools.
2.According to the organizers of Wild Network, there will be many advantages from the campaign except _______.
A. improving health conditions
B. keeping touch with nature
C. learning more about wildlife
D. teaching children how to make full use of their spare time
3.The underlined part “ to get children muddy and bright-eyed ” means “_______ ”.
A. to make children covered with mud
B. to urge politicians to do more things for children
C. to encourage children to take part in outdoors activities
D. to help children identify common species
4.Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?
A. A new campaign. B. Less screen, more play outdoors.
C. A newly formed Wild Network. D. Children get to know wild things.

Traditional fairytales are being abandoned by parents because they are too scary for their young children, a study found.
Research revealed one in five parents has ditched old classics such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarves and Rapunzel in favour of more modern books. One third of parents said their children have been left in tears after hearing the horrible details of Little Red Riding Hood. And nearly half of mothers and fathers refuse to read Rumplestiltskin to their kids as the themes of the story are kidnapping and execution. Similarly, Goldilocks and the Three Bears was also a tale likely to be left on the book shelf as parents felt it forgives stealing.
The survey of 2,000 adults was conducted to mark the launch of the hit US drama GRIMM, which starts tonight at 9 p.m. on Watch, and sees six episodes(片段) based on traditional fairytales. The poll found a quarter of parents polled wouldn’t consider reading a fairytale to their child until they had reached the age of five, as they prompt too many awkward questions from their offspring(后代子孫).
Steve Hornsey, General Manager of Watch, said: “Bedtime stories are supposed to soothe children and send them off to sleep soundly. But as we see in GRIMM, fairytales can be dark and dramatic tales so it’s understandable that parents worry about reading them to young children.”
“As adults we can see the innocence in fairytales, but a five year old with an over active imagination could take things too seriously. Despite the dark nature of classic fairytales, as we see in GRIMM, good will triumph over evil and there is always a moral to the story.”
The study also found two thirds of mums and dads try to avoid stories which might give their children nightmares.
However, half of parents said traditional tales are more likely to have a strong moral message than a lot of modern kids’ books, such as The Gruffalo, The Hungary Caterpillar and the Mr. Men books.
1.Why don’t some parents want to read Rumplestiltskin to their kids?
A. Rumplestiltskin is too long.
B. Rumplestiltskin is too difficult.
C. Rumplestiltskin forgives stealing.
D. Rumplestiltskin may influence Children badly.
2.We can learn from paragraph 3 that Grimm is ___________.
A. a fairytales book
B. a movie for children
C. a play loved by children
D. a drama based on traditional fairytales
3.The underlined word “soothe “in paragraph4 can be replaced by___________.
A. put down B. calm down C. take down D. come down
4.What’s the author’s attitude towards traditional fairytales?
A. Optimistic B. Not mentioned
C. Casual D. Disapproving
