I took my 9-year-old daughter, Susan and 5-year-old son, Robbie to the shopping center. As we got there, we saw a big sign that said “Petting Zoo”. The kids jumped up and asked, “Daddy, can we go?”

Both my wife and I were out of work. However, I said “Sure.”, giving them a quarter each. They went away, leaving only fifty cents in my pocket.

Petting Zoo is made up of a hundred little baby animals of all kinds. Kids pay their money and stay in the enclosure(围场), having fun with the little animals when their parents shop.

A few minutes later, I saw Susan walking behind me. I was surprised and asked what was wrong.

She said sadly, “Well, Daddy, a ticket for Petting Zoo costs fifty cents. So I gave Robbie my quarter.”Then she said the most beautiful thing I had ever heard. She repeated the family motto(座右铭), which is “Love is action!”.

Iknew clearly no one loves little animals more than Susan. She had watched both my wife and me do and say “Love is action!” for years, and now she had put it into her life. It had become part of her, because she knew the whole family motto. It’s not only “Love is action!” , but it’s “Love is sacrificial(牺牲的) action!” . Love always pays a price.

I was moved. We went back to Petting Zoo. Susan stood with her hands and chin(下巴) resting on the fence and just watched Robbie petting and feeding the animals. I had fifty cents burning a hole in my pocket. I put my hand into my pocket and took out the money. Sure, I must do that!

Mothers who angrily tell off their children when they step out of line may be making behavior problems worse, according to a study. The study by the London School of Economics (LSE) found that too much shouting and giving severe punishments were producing an opposite result. Ignoring naughty children also appeared to lead to a decrease in discipline standards.

Researchers said that “reasoning with children” was more likely to have a positive impact on their behavior at a young age. But the study warned that it was difficult to determine a direct link between one parenting style and its outcomes because of the effect of other causes.

The latest study was based on an analysis of almost 19, 000 children. Data was collected from parents just before their children's first birthdays, and then when they turned three, five and seven. The study, led by Dr Laure De Preux, assessed the impact of various parenting styles on children.

Researchers said, “Particularly excessive (过度 的) shouting, punishing or ignoring a naughty child increases his behavior problems, and only reasoning doesn't negatively impact the child's behavior.”

But the study also showed that a large number of other things such as economic conditions also impacted on children's development. The result suggested that wealthier families were able to create a whole environment that clearly benefited the child beyond simple effect of parenting. It said children in poor households in particular were affected by their mother's parenting styles.

“In this group, behavior problems are reduced when mothers read to the naughty children, and increased when mothers shout at them, take treats away, or ignore them,” it said.

It is the latest in a line of recent studies to assess the link between parenting and children's behavior.

Two years ago, a report commissioned (委托) by the Department for Education found that severe and inconsistent discipline in the home was bringing up a generation of young children with anger management problems, poor attention and low levels of learning ability.

28. The underlined part “ step out of line ” in Paragraph 1 probably means _____.

A. lose confidence        B. behave badly  

C. become excited         D. achieve success

29. Which may help solve children's behavior problems?

A. Punishing them lightly.         

B. Talking with them reasonably.

C. Ignoring them once in a while.      

D. Exercising strict discipline over them.

30. What did the research focus on?

A. How mothers looked at their parenting role.

B. Why many children had behavior problems.

C. How parenting styles affected children's development.

D. Why parents gave their children severe punishments.

31. What do we learn about the report in the last paragraph?

A. Its findings go against those of the LSE's study.

B. Its subject is similar to that of the LSE's study.

C. It shows the benefits of strict discipline.

D. It has discovered new problems of children

D

Every boy and every girl expects their parents to give them more pocket money. Why do their parents just give them a certain amount? 36

    The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family. 37 Some children get weekly pocket money. Others get monthly pocket money.

First of all, children are expected to make a choice between spending and saving. Then parents should make the children understand what is expected to pay for with the money. At first, some young children may spend all of the money soon after they receive it. Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until it is the right time.38

    In order to encourage their children to do some housework, some parents give pocket money if the children help around the home. Some experts think it not wise to pay the children for doing that.39

    Pocket money can give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with the money. They can spend it by giving it to a good cause. They can spend it by buying things they want.  40  Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice. Saving can also open the door to future saving and investing for children.

    A. Some children are good at managing their pocket money.

B. One main purpose is to let kids learn how to manage their own money.

C. By doing so, these children will learn that spending must be done with a budget（预算）.

D. Because helping at home is a normal part of family life.

    E. Learning how to make money is very important for every child.

    F. They can save it for future use.

G. Timing is another consideration.

His wife Tina cooked us a delicious dinner and we got to know his sons Ryan and Kyle.My dad and I spent the night in the guestroom of the farm  house listening to the frogs and water rolling down the river nearby.Very early in the morning，Uncle Paul woke us up to have breakfast.“The day starts at dawn on my farm，” he said.After breakfast，I went to help Aunt Tina feed the chickens，while my dad went with Uncle Paul to take the sheep out to graze (吃草).I was impressed to see my dad and Uncle Paul riding horses.They looked really cool.

In the afternoon，I asked Uncle Paul if I could take a horse ride，and he said yes，as long as my dad went with me.I wasn’t going to take a horse ride by myself anyway.So，my dad and I put on our new cowboy hats，got on our horses，and headed slowly towards the mountains.“Don’t be late for supper，”Uncle Paul cried，“and keep to the track so that you don’t get  lost！” “OK！” my dad cried back.After a while Uncle Paul and his farm house were out of sight.It was so peaceful and quiet and the colors of the brown rocks，the deep green pine trees，and the late afternoon sun mixed to create a magic scene.It looked like a beautiful woven (编织的)blanket spread out upon the ground just for us.

Paragraph 2：

Wehadnoideawherewewereanditwasgettingdark.We got stuck in the forest.And an unexpected shower added to the difficulty of us in finding a way home，for all the tracks we had made disappeared because of the rain.I was almost on the edge of breaking down when my father said，“Don’t worry, my son.I remember there is a river near the farm house.Find the river and we will be back home.”Finally，we found the river and got back to the house along it.Needless to say，we ate a late dinner.
