Last night I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg, a  36 of about eighty miles. It was late and I was in a hurry. However, if anyone asked me how fast I was  37 ,I’d say I was not over-speeding. Several times I got  38 behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road, and I was holding my fists tightly with  39 .
At one point along an open highway, I  40 a crossroad with a traffic light. I was alone on the road by now, but as I  41 the light, it turned red and I braked to a stop. I looked left, right and behind me. Nothing. Not a car, no suggestion of headlights, but there I sat, waiting for the light to  42 , the only human being for at least a mile in any  43 .
I started  44 why I refused to run the light. I was not afraid of being  45 , because there was obviously no policeman around, and there certainly would have been no  46 in going through it.
Much later that night, after I  47 a group of my friends in Lewisburg and climbed into bed near midnight, the question of why I’d stopped for that light  48 me, I think I stopped because it’s part of a contract(合同) we all have with each other. It’s not only the  49 , but it’s an arrangement we have, and we trust each other to  50 it: we don’t go through red lights. Like most of us, I’m more likely to be  51 from doing something bad by the social convention that  52 it than by any law against it.
It’s amazing that we ever  53 each other to do the right thing, isn’t it? And we do, too, Trust is our  54 preference.
I was so  55 of myself for stopping for the red light that night.

Fun is, in fact, a word heard far more frequently in families today than in the past, when "duty'' and "responsibility" were often the words used.
Parents today are more youthful in appearance and attitudes. Their clothes and hair-styles are more casual, helping to bridge the divide. Those who are athletically inclined also enjoy Rollerblading, snowboarding, and rock-climbing with their children.
For the past three years, Kathy and Phil Dalby have spent at least one evening a week at a climbing gym with their three children. "It's great to be able to work together," Mrs Dalby says. "We discuss various climbs and where the hard parts are. Sometimes that leads to other Conversations. We're definitely closer."
A popular movement of parent effectiveness training in the 1970s has helped to reshape generational roles. The philosophy encourages children to describe their feelings about various situations. As a result, says Robert Billingham, a family-studies professor at Indiana University, "Parents and children began talking to each other in ways they had not before."
On the plus side, he adds, these conversations made parents realize that children may have important thoughts or feelings that adults need to be aware of.
But Professor Billingham also sees a downside: Many parents started making decisions based on what their child wanted. "The power shifted to children. Parents said, 'I have to focus on making my child happy', as opposed to 'I have to act as a parent most appropriately'."
Other changes are occurring as the ranks of working mothers grow.  Time-short parents encourage children's independence, making them more responsible for themselves. "They'll say, 'We trust you to make the right decisions' (whether they're ready to assume the responsibility or not) ,"says Billingham.
The self-esteem movement of the past quarter-century has also affected the family dynamics (原动力). Some parents worry that if they tell their child no, it will hurt the child's self-esteem.

A.Parents are chasing after fashion and ignoring the feelings of their children.
B.More parents and children are sharing the same enthusiasm for a certain sport.
C.Parents are taking more responsibility and setting more limits for their children.

【小题2】Which of the following has NOT contributed to the change in the parent-child relationship?
A.Younger parents.B.Parent effectiveness training.
C.More working mothers.D.The self-esteem movement.
【小题3】What's Billingham's attitude towards parents who make children more responsible for themselves?
A.He supports them.B.He admires them.
