5.There is a big question making the rounds among the parents at my daughter's class.Should the kids refer to the parents,friends as"Mr.Jones"or"Mrs.Smith",rather than using their first names?I was quite shocked,having come from a home where it would have been unheard of to refer to one of my parents,friends by their first names.This was reserved for only the closest of family friends and relatives,and even they always had"Aunt"or"Uncle"in front their name.Respect is something that is earned.Unlike many of the other virtues we try to nurture (培养)in our kids,respect is a bit more complicated.It is not only necessary when dealing well with others,but the virtue of self-respect is critical for kids to succeed and feel good about themselves and their choices throughout their lives.
There are several factors that can have a big impact on kids and their ability to be respectful.The first one to consider is manners.Calling adults by their surnames,setting proper examples during sporting events and while driving,and how we talk to each other in our homes all can have an enormous effect on a child's concept of respect and how important it is.Many of these seemingly trivial(微小的)ideas have become almost outdated,but one should seriously consider the value of these ideas before casting them aside.It is easy to become unaware of these behaviors.Try to keep track of how often your child is subjected to this kind of disrespect.
The media,as you may have guessed,plays a large part in the increase in disrespect.Movies are equally to blame,with a PG movie often containing an abundant amount of profane language.
These factors and others all contribute to an alarming increase in disrespect in society.If we don't step in and change course,we will find living in a morally respectful culture unlikely.

Sawfish are food hunters of the sea.When a sawfish is hungry,it waves its sharp-toothed snout (口鼻部) through a group of fish.Then,it lifts its nose and uses its mouth to draw the injured victims.
Hardy (适应力强的) population of sawfish thrived in warm waters along coastlines around the world for thousands of years.Over the past 200 years,however,human actions have severely endangered sawfish.Threats include fishing nets that trap the huge animals,often by mistake.
Some people collect sawfish's snouts as prizes:One snout recently sold for nearly $ 1,600 online.In some Asian cultures,the toothy snouts are used in ceremonies to drive evil and disease away.And sawfish are also delicious.A growing demand in Asia for the fish's fins for a pricey soup has contributed to the fish's loves.Compared with other fish,sawfish give birth late in life and at slow rates,which makes it hard for them to recover from overfishing.
New efforts now aim to restore sawfish population.Beginning next month,an international agreement will provide protection for all seven of the world's sawfish species.Scientists are hoping that it's not too late to save the sawfish.
Until 1998,"this fish had never been formally studied in the United States,"says Tonya Wiley of the Mote Marine Laboratory in Sarasota,Fla."We didn't know such basic things as where they live,what habitat they use,how often they breed,how many young they have-even what age sawfish are when they begin breeding."
Through historical studies and field research,scientists have become aware of how much the fish's numbers have decreased.Today,there may be 90 percent fewer sawfish than there used to be.Wiley estimates that only 3,000 to 6,000 sawfish remain in US waters.
