"It hurts me more than you", and "This is for your own good" -these are the statements my mother
used to make years ago when I had to learn Latin, clean my room, stay home and do homework.
That was before we entered the permissive period in education in which we decided it was all right
not to push our children to achieve their best in school. The schools and the educators made it easy for
us. They taught that it was all right to be parents who take a let-alone policy. We stopped making our
children do homework. We gave them calculat
ors, turned on the te
levision, left the teaching to the
teachers and went on vacation.
Now teachers, faced with children who have been developing at their own pace for the past 15 years,
are realizing we"ve made a terrible mistake. One such teacher is Sharon Clomps who says of her
students-"so passive" -and wonders what has happened. Nothing is demanded 
of them, she believes.
Television, says Clomps, contributes to children"s passivity. "We"re talking about a generation of kids
who" vet never been hurt or hungry. They have learned somebody will always do it for them, instead of
saying "go and look it up", you tell them the answer. It takes greater energy to say no to a kid."
Yes, it does. It takes energy and it takes work. It"s time for parents to end their vacation and come
back to work. It" s time to take the car away, to turn the TV off, to tell them it hurts you more than them
but it" s for their own good. It"s s time to start telling them no again.
B. they have done too much homework
C. they have to fulfill too many duties
D. teachers are too strict with them
B. discipline
C. natural development
D. education at school
B. when everything can be taught at school
C. when every child can be educated
D. when child
ren are permitted to receive educationB. kids should have more activities at school
C. it"s time to be more strict with our kids
D. parents should always set a good example to their kids

| It seems that some people go out of their way to get into trouble. That"s more or less what happened the night that Nashville Police Officer Floyd Hyde was on duty. "I was on the way to a personal-injury accident in West Nashville. As I got onto Highway 40, blue lights and siren(警笛) going, I fell in behind a gold Pontiac Firebird that suddenly seeme  d to take off quickly down the highway. The driver somehow panicked at the sight of me. He was going more than a hundred miles an hour and began passing cars on the shoulder." But Hyde couldn"t go after him. Taking care of injured people is always more important than worrying about speeders, so the officer had to stay on his way to the accident. But he did try to keep the Firebird in sight as he drove, hoping another nearby unit would be able to step in and stop the speeding car. As it turned out, keeping the Firebird in sight was not that difficult. Every turn the Pontiac made was the very turn the officer needed to get to the accident scene. Hyde followed the Pontiac all the way to his destination(目的地). At that point he found another unit had already arrived at the accident scene. His help wasn"t needed. Now he was free to try to stop the driver of the firebird, who by this time had developed something new to panick about. "Just about that time," Hyde says, " I saw fire coming out from under that car, with blue smoke and oil going everywhere. He"s blown his engine. Now he had to stop." After I arrested him, I asked him why he was running. He told me he didn"t have a driver"s license. That accident cost the driver of the Firebird plenty-a thousand dollars for the new engine-not to mention the charges for driving without a license, attempting to run away, and dangerous driving. | |||

| A. Because he was racing with another driver on the road. B. Because he realized he had to hurry to the accident scene. C. Because he thought the police officer wanted to stop him. D. Because he wanted to overtake other cars on the shoulder. | |||

| A. Someone else was taking care of the injured person. B. The Pontiac reached its destination at the accident scene. C. Hyde knew where he was going by following the right car. D. The policeman was running after a speeder on Highway 40. | |||

| My wife Julie and I were out on the road that runs around where we live. Two dog walkers passed by and we heard one of them say, "Never seen that dog around here before." We looked down the hill and saw an old black dog stumbling(蹒跚) painfully up the hill. We bent down, talked gently to the dog and patted it. I checked and there was a collar. There was a phone number on the collar, but no one answered. The dog was painfully thin. It didn"t have many teeth left and, well, it just seemed done. Julie ran home to get some of our dog"s food while I tried to encourage the dog to come along with me. Julie got home and back again when I was only half way there. So, we sat down on the sidewalk while our new friend made short work of the food. Eventually we got her home. We gave her a blanket, more food, kept her warm and wondered what to do next. After trying for many times we got a response from the number. A lady came around with a bunch of flowers for us. She explained that Tara had been her father"s dog. She was very old and should probably be put to sleep, but the lady just couldn"t bring herself to do it. So, Tara was safely returned home. Here is the truth of the story: Actually Julie and I were out that morning because I was leaving. She was trying to persuade me to come back, but I wasn"t hearing anything that made that sound likely. I was about to turn and go when an old, worn out dog walked between us and collapsed. Suddenly we had something more important than our problem to worry about. There was a creature in need right before us and we had to work together to help it. We did help it. And here am I writing the story in my own home, in my own family. In the song "Love Is Not a Fight" Warren Barfield talks about marriage. At one point he sings, "And if we try to leave, may God send angels to guard the door." Sometimes angels come disguised (伪装) as dogs. | |||

| A. The two dog walkers didn"t like the dog. B. The old black dog was sick and weak and couldn"t walk. C. After finding the dog, the writer phoned its owners. D. Most of the dog"s teeth had been pulled out by someone. | |||
| 2. We can infer from Paragraph 4 that ________. | |||
| A. Julie bought some food for the dog B. the writer had his own pet dog C. the dog didn"t go with the writer D. the dog didn"t eat any of the food | |||

| A. decided to raise the dog B. took good care of the dog C. found out that its owner was a lady D. found it hard to get to sleep | |||
