As children grow, so does their desire to become independent. 1. . As parents, our job is to find the right balance between kids’ desire for independence and the need to keep kids safe.

Kids need to be allowed, in fact encouraged; they like to be given certain risks. 2. . The right risk level for your child will depend on their age, developmental level, and character. It will change over time, and there are few hard and fast rules that apply to every child.

3. Every time you put your kids in the car you are putting them at risk. It is a fact of life.

So what is a parent to do ? We must encourage them to explore their world while setting clear limits where safety is an issue. 4. . We must let them run, but be prepared to catch them when they fall. We can’t take their steps for them; we can only point out the path.

It’s hard to imagine when they are small, but someday very soon they will be walking , riding a bike, even driving ! 5. .

A. Children do not often want to become independent.

B. It is impossible for any of us to live completely risk-free.

C. The goal for parents is to determine how much risk is appropriate.

D. Often they will become more willing to take risks and try new things.

E. Sometimes it is really tough for parents to encourage their children to be independent.

G. If we are overprotective, they are likely to grow up ill-prepared to meet and overcome the challenges they must inevitably(不可避免地) face.

When you buy cooking oil in the supermarket, you may notice that some brands are labeled as “GM (genetically modified)-free”. So, what is genetic modification? Are GM foods safe?

These questions have been put back into the spotlight recently. On Nov 19, the Food and Drug Administrati0n (FDA) in the US announced that it had approved the AquAdvantage salmon to go on the market, making it the first genetically modified animal to be approved as food anywhere in the world.

GM foods are plants or animals that have been given a gene from another plant or animal to make them stronger in some way. The AquAdvantage salmon contains a gene from another type of salmon that makes it grow faster.

Although the FDA has said “food from the fish is safe to eat”, some believe that scientists can’t completely understand the potential health risks of GM foods, simply because they’re so new. Others worry that the fish could escape into the wild and cause ecological problems.

GM crops have experienced the same controversy, even though GM technology cuts down on the use of pesticides on crops and increases yields.

While GM animals are new, GM crops have already appeared on our plates: A total of 28 countries in the world including the US, Brazil and India planted 181.5 million hectares (1.815 million km2) of GM crops in 2014, according to the International Service for tile Acquisition of Agri-biotech Applications. In China, we grow GM cotton and papaya and import GM soybeans, corn, rape, cotton and beets from abroad.

Due to safety worries, many countries have regulations for producing and selling GM food.

In European Union countries, each GM food must be approved before it can be used. This process can take up to 17 months. The origin of all GM foods must also be traceable, and all food with a GM content of more than 0.9 percent must also be labeled, according to EU website europa.eu.

The US is less strict about GM foods. According to FDA regulations, companies introducing new GM foods to the market should report them at least 120 days before release. The labeling is voluntary, except that a product cannot be labeled as “GM-free” if genetically modified materials are used.

In China, GM foods can only be produced after strict tests by the Ministry of Agriculture say that they are safe. All food that is made from GM crops or contains GM ingredients must be clearly labeled on the wrapper.

Throughout the world, boys and girls prefer to play with different types of toys. Boys typically like to play with cars and trucks, while girls typically choose to play with dolls. Why is this? A traditional sociological explanation is that boys and girls are socialized and encouraged to play with different types of toys by their parents, peers, and the “society”. Growing scientific evidence suggests, however, that boys’ and girls’ toy preferences may have a biological origin.

In 2002, Gerianne M. Alexander of Texas A&M University and Melissa Hines of City University in London surprised the scientific world by showing that monkeys showed the same sex typical toy preferences as humans. In the study, Alexander and Hines gave two masculine toys (a ball and a police car), two feminine toys (a soft doll and a cooking pot), and two neutral(中性的) toys (a picture book and a stuffed dog) to 44 male and 44 female monkeys. They then assessed the monkeys’ preference for each toy by measuring how much time they spent with each. Their data showed that male monkeys showed significantly(显著地) greater interest in the masculine toys, and the female monkeys showed significantly greater interest in the feminine toys. The two sexes did not differ in their preference for the neutral toys.

If children’s toy preferences were largely formed by gender socialization, as traditional sociologists’ claim, in which their parents give “gender appropriate” toys to boys and girls, how can these male and female monkeys have the same preferences as boys and girls?They were never socialized by humans, and they had never seen these toys before in their lives.

1.Traditional sociologists believe boys’ and girls’ toy preferences ________.

A. are passed down from their parents

B. have a biological origin

C. have nothing to do with gender socialization

D. are largely formed in later life

2.The study by Alexander and Hines shows that monkeys________.

A. also play toys as humans do

B. also have a sex typical toy preference

C. have no toy preferences

D. like to play different toys at different time

3.Alexander and Hines carried out the study to ________.

A. find out why boys and girls prefer different toys

B. test the intelligence of monkeys

C. test whether monkeys like to play toys

D. find more evidence for traditional sociology

4.Masculine toys are mainly intended for________.

A. monkeys B. adult C. boys D. girls

In the face of tragedy,you must of course let yourself feel: Cry without holding back, shake with fear, yell out in anger, accept and follow your feelings.This is part of the wise approach to tragedy: The Upward Path — the feeling of emotions, the acceptance of them, and the coupling of the emotional mind with wisdom.Along this path, you'll take the experience — no matter how sad or upsetting — as a learning event, just as a11 other points on your journey will prove to be.While tragic, you must recognize this is still a chance for all involved to grow.You should let both sadness and joy, fear and courage, dark and light fill your world, and learn to find your steady, calm center in the midst of the opposing forces.This is the Upward Path.Use the event as a chance to gain balance and discover wisdom — the wisdom of love and of letting go, of non-attachment and non-resistance, and using this experience to eventually help others in need of guidance.

Being able to relate to others who have also experienced tragedy and inspire in them hope — of recovery, and of moving forward — is perhaps the greatest gift you can receive from tragedy.Turn the negative into positive, the pain into connection.After you've taken appropriate time to be sad, to feel your own pain, you should make it your work,your goal, your purpose to connect with others who need help.Show them how you've experienced feelings, achieved balance,and gained wisdom that you would never have otherwise had the chance to learn.

FEEL, but do not FEED on tragedy.Rather, let it inspire you to go beyond the person who you were before.With demise comes renewal, so let this loss be also your rebirth.No matter how hopeless it seems, no matter how difficult this becomes, you have the power to transform yourself into someone greater than you ever knew you could be.

1.When following the Upward Path, the person facing tragedy should _______.

A.free his emotions

B.hold back his feelings

C.fill his world with positive ideas

D.give in to tragedy and all opposing forces

2.According to the author, the greatest gift one gets from tragedy is being able to _______.

A.seek solutions from others

B.forgive others and move on

C.stay calm and resist change

D.understand and help others

3.The purpose of the passage is to _______.

A.analyze the causes of tragedy

B.suggest a way of dealing with tragedy

C.tell people how to prevent tragedy

D.encourage people to build friendship after tragedy
