There are many reasons why parents should not be responsible for crimes committed by teenage children. First of all, teenagers today are independent. They often move out of the parents’ house at 18 years of age or younger. They are expected to learn to take care of themselves and make their own decisions, and not to stay like small children attached to their parents. Secondly, parents are working. They cannot watch their adolescent children all the time. A third point is that even children from good families can sometimes commit crimes. Parents should not be responsible if they have worked hard to raise their children properly.
However, young troublemakers cause many problems, and I feel we should make parents responsible. Firstly, most juvenile(未成年的)crimes are committed by adolescents whose parents do not care or make any effort to control their children. If parents had to pay fines(罚款), they might make more effort. Another point is that even though the children may seem mature, they are not really able to make good decisions. Parents should be responsible for raising and teaching their children until they are fully grown. Furthermore, if children know that their parents will have to pay, they will think carefully before getting into trouble.
In summary, there are good reasons both for and against making parents pay for acts committed by their children. However, I feel strongly that if we want to reduce the number of such crimes, we need to make parents take more responsibility.
小题1:Those who insist that parents should not be responsible for their children’s crimes believe that ________.
a. teenagers are able to deal with things on their own
b. children need to experience difficulties to be fully grown
c. it’s impossible for parents to be with their children all the time
d. parents are not to blame as long as they try their best to educate their children
A.a, c, d | B.a, b, c | C.b, c, d | D.a, b, d |
A.unstable social environment | B.parents’ carelessness |
C.bad family relationship | D.heavy financial burden |
A.useless | B.easy | C.necessary | D.impractical |
A.Proper ways to educate children | B.Reasons for children’s crimes |
C.Should children move out? | D.Should parents pay? |

Foster grandparents are grandparents who are not related by birth but foster parents love the children they care for. They also help the handicapped children in special ways.

It helps the children overcome their handicaps.

These dangerous walkers can be seen in any big city over the world. About 69% of last year’s pedestrian deaths in the US occurred in urban areas. They cross streets ignoring “DON’T WALK” signals, suddenly appear without warning from behind parked vehicles, walk slowly at crossroads with cell phones attached to heads, blocking traffic.
These pedestrians and drivers share a common disregard for the rules of the road, both for selfish reasons. The drivers believe in the power of their machines. If their machines can go faster, they believe they have the right to go faster. If their machines are bigger, they believe they have the right to push smaller vehicles aside. Aggressive pedestrians, on the other hand, believe in the primacy(首位) of the individual, the idea that they are first in any environment, under any circumstances, even when they are on foot in a roaring tide of steel and rubber.
Last year, an estimated 5,220 pedestrians died in traffic accidents. Some 69,000 pedestrians were injured. On average, that worked out to one pedestrian killed in a traffic crash every 101 minutes, and one injured every eight minutes.
The good news is that the accident rate is dropping. For example, the number of pedestrians killed last year was 24 percent less than the number killed in traffic accidents a decade earlier. The bad news is that the basic causes of pedestrian deaths remain pretty much the same----disregard for traffic signals, inattention and crossing roads under the influence of alcohol and drugs. Alcohol, in fact, was involved in 46 percent of the traffic accidents that resulted in pedestrian deaths. Of those, 31 percent of the pedestrians were found to be drunk.
The bottom line is that the pedestrians must do more to protect their lives as well as the lives of other road users. They can start by obeying traffic signals, using marked cross-walks and calling a cab when they’ve had too much to drink.
小题1:The passage is mainly about __________.
A.how aggressive pedestrians cause traffic accidents |
B.why so many Americans were killed on roads last year |
C.what the traffic rules of the road about pedestrians were |
D.who are to blame for pedestrian deaths, drunk drivers or the aggressive pedestrians |
A.They know all drivers are skilled and with great care. |
B.They believe individuals are always first. |
C.They think traffic rules have nothing to do with them. |
D.They guess all vehicles will slow down at crossroads. |
A.Disregard for traffic signals | B.Paying no attention to surroundings. |
C.Crossing roads drunk. | D.Overspeeding driving. |
A.Obey traffic signals at crossroads. |
B.Run as fast as possible at crossroads. |
C.Talk on your cell phone if necessary. |
D.Always watch out for big trucks. |
A.Excited. | B.Cold. | C.Concerned | D.Inconnected. |
