题目内容
16.Dear Sir,I have to travel every day from Souk Road to the airport.Two buses travel along their route:the number 49and number 16.But by the time the number 16bus reaches Souk Road it is always full,so I can't get on it.I have to wait for the number 49,because sometimes there are empty seats on it.
The timetable says that there are buses from Souk Road to the airport every ten minutes.If this is so,why do I have to wait half an hour for a bus nearly every day?
The regulations (规章) say that if there are empty seats on a bus,the bus must stop at every stop where people are waiting.Why do the half-empty buses go straight past me when I am standing at the bus stop?
The regulations say that no bus may carry more than 40seated passengers and 20standing passengers.Yesterday I was the first to get off the bus when it reached the airport.I counted the other passengers as they got off.There were 129of them.
It is clear that our bus companies break the regulations and think little of their passengers.Can nothing be done to make your service better?
Yours,
Tired passenger

"Examine the extended family,and you'll probably find a bossy grandparent,aunt,uncle or cousin in every generation.It's an inheritable trait,"says Russell Barkley,a professor at the Medical University of South Carolina.Other children who may not be particularly bossy can gradually gain dominance(支配地位) when they sense their parents are weak,hesitant,or in disagreement with each other.
Whether it's inborn nature or developed character at work,too much control in the hands of the young isn't healthy for children or the family."Fear is at the root of a lot of bossy behaviour,"says family psychologist John Taylor."Children,"he says in his book From Defiance to Cooperation,"have secret feelings of weakness and a desire to feel safe.It's the parents'role to provide that protection."
When a"boss child"doesn't learn limits at home,the stage is set for a host of troubles outside the family.The overly willful and unbending child may have trouble obeying teachers or coaches,for example,or trouble keeping friends.It can be pretty lonely as the top dog if no one likes your bossy ways.
"I see more and more parents giving up their power,"says Barkley,who has studied bossy behavior for more than 30years."They bend too far because they don't want to be as strict as their own parents were.But they also feel less confident about their parenting skills.Their kids,in turn,feel more anxious."
So for the sake of the children,parents should be strict with them in a suitable way and get more knowledge to be good parents.
