One parent wrote to me explaining that her 15-year-old son "lost himself in the hole of the computer. He got an A in Website design, but his other grades were sinking," she said.

This boy is making a mistake. High school and college offer you the best chance to learn broadly-math, history, various sciences-and to do projects with other kids that teach you first-hand about group dynamics (群体力量). It's fine to take a deep interest in computers, dance, language or any other discipline, but not if it affects the breadth (广度) of study.

I think kids sometimes trap themselves within a narrow identity. I wonder if they've just decided, "OK, I'm the person who's good at accounting."

A friend asks, "Hey, what have you been reading?"

"Well, I'm reading about accounting. "

It's just their sort of self-definition, and it's probably comfortable for them. But it's unfortunate if it comes at the sacrifice of learning about the broader world. I'm as impressed as the next person is when an 11-year-old boy can do calculus and is

learning to think logically(逻辑). But a kid who is reading about Robinson Crusoe, however, is thinking logically, too. It's not completely different.

Choosing a specialty isn't something high school students should worry about. They should worry about getting a strong academic(学术的) start. There's not a perfect correlation(相互关联)between attitudes in high school and success in later life, of course.

But it's a real mistake not to take the opportunity to learn a huge range of subjects, to learn to work with people in high school, and to get the grades that will help you get into a good college.

6. What was NOT true about the boy?

A. The boy fell into a hole and sank down.

B. The boy spent too much time on computers.

C. The boy did very well with his Website design.

D. The boy was not getting on well with his study.

7. What mistake was the boy making?

A. The boy didn't listen to his mother's advice.

B. The boy took a deep interest in computers.

C. The boy didn't realize the importance of developing himself in an all-round way.

D. The boy dropped out of school.

8. The writer thinks that ________ .

A. a person who is good at accounting is not worth praising

B. a person who is good at accounting is very clever

C. a person should not decide his specialty at an early age

D. a person should set a clear goal for his future

9. We learned from the text that the writer ________ .

A. encouraged kids to learn as much as possible

B. encouraged kids not to spend too much time on computers

C. encouraged kids not to learn accounting

D. encouraged kids to decide themselves what they would do in future

旅行难道只能让人们享受美景放松心情吗？不，它还可以很有效果的降低犯罪率，这一点你相信吗？来看这篇文章吧

Americans think that travel is good for you, some even think it can help one of the country's worst problems-crime（犯罪）.

Crime worries a lot of people. Every year, the number of crimes goes up and up. And many criminals（罪犯）are young. They often come from sad homes, with only one parent or no parents at all.

There are many young criminals in prison. But prison doesn't change them. Six or seven in ten will go back to crime when they come out of prison.

One man, Bob Burton, thought of a new idea. In the old days, young men had to live a difficult life on the road. They learned to be strong and brave, and to help theft friends ill time of danger. This helped them to grow into men. So Bob Burton started" Vision Quest".

He takes young criminals on a long, long journey with horses and wagons（马车）, 3,000 miles through seven states. They are on the road for more than a year.

The young people on Vision Quest all have bad problems. Most of them have already spent time in prison. This is their last chance.

It's hard work on the road. The work starts before the sun comes up. The boys and girls have to feed the horses. Some of them have never loved anyone before. But they can love their horse. That love can help them to a new life.

In the past, American families tended to be quite large. Parents raising five or more children were common. Over the years, the size of the family has decreased. One reason for this is an increase in the cost of living. On the average, children attend schools for more years than they used to, making them financially dependent on their families longer. Moreover, children nowadays are better dressed and have more money to spend on entertainment. The parents usually take the responsibility for all the expenses. Meanwhile, families are less close than they used to be. More and more American mothers work away from home. The break up of the family occurs when the parents divorce. A lot of children in the U. S. live part of their young lives with only one parent. Broken families usually result in problems for children and parents alike. Children blame themselves when their parents separate. They grow up feeling unsettled as they are moved back and forth between parents. Usually one parent is responsible for raising the children. These single parents must care for the children’s emotional and psychological needs while also supporting them financially. This is very demanding and leaves very little time for the parent’s own personal interests. Single parents often marry other single parents. In this type of family, unrelated children are forced to develop brother or sister relationship. The situations of many American families today are not good. However, recent signs indicate that things are getting better. The divorce rate is declining. The rate of childbirth is rising. Perhaps Americans have learned how important families are.

Sometimes children do not do what their parents tell them to do. When this happens,a parent tries to help the child to do the right thing. When this does not work, the parent usually punishes the child.
There are many things that a parent can do.One thing that people have done is to spank the child. When a parent spanks a child, they will use their hand or a hard object to strike them on their bottom. This is meant to show the child that they have done something wrong.
One parent remembers being spanked when he was a child. His parents used a wooden spoon. When he spanked his own children with his hand, he saw that he put a red mark on his child’s leg. He never did that again.
One problem with spanking is that it teaches the child to hit someone when they do not like what the other person is doing. Another problem with spanking is that the parent is usually angry and can hit the child too hard.Sometimes will use spanking for everything and not try other ways to get the child to do the right thing.
Many parents are not sure of what to do instead of spanking. Some people think that their religion（宗教） tells them that spanking is okay. Some think that the law lets them do it. The courts(法院) say that parents have the right to teach their children how to behave.
Other things should be tried before a parent decides to spank a child. Telling the child exactly what is wanted from them can be one thing. Giving a child more than one choice is another thing that can be tried. Getting down to the child’s level and taking a more child-friendly approach(方法) can help as well.
