       The scientist said millions of persons in the U.S.use much larger amounts of aspirin than were used in his experiment.He said these persons face a serious danger of suffering hearing loss from loud noise.

Moral science is taught as a subject in most schools but with little effect. Perhaps part of the problem lies in the fact that morality is not a science, strictly speaking. It is too much of a social phenomenon, and also has too much of the personal and subjective things mixed within. Besides, morality itself changes with generations, so it is impossible to be printed in a normal textbook.

I remember sitting through forty minutes of moral lessons, which told stories about little children who never told lies and were rewarded for their goodness. It had little effect and left no impression on me, though.

If moral science has to be taught as a subject in schools, it needs a participatory approach. When you tell a child about moral, you also have to deal with social norms( 社会规范) and cultural differences. You have to explain that morality can be subjective, and be able to co-exist in society. You will probably have to refer to the morals at the present time.

The best way to tell a child how to live is to show him what is valued. If a child likes his friend, you have to make the child think about why. Once the child notices and recognizes goodness in others, he or she is likely to develop it as well.

In fact, children learn most of their morals by watching people around them. They absorb behaviour patterns from teachers and older students. They watch to see what is rewarded and who is punished. They learn on the sports field and through social work. Moral science lessons should simply consist of letting them live and interact, and watch you support correct values and reward good behaviour.

Which is NOT the reason that moral science is taught in schools with little effect?

A. Morality doesn’t belong to a science

B. Morality is more like a social phenomenon.

C. Different generations have different moral ideas.

D. Morality can’t be written down in textbooks.

The author describes his own experience of learning moral lessons in order to                .

A. explain that telling lies is not moral for little children

B. advise that people should be rewarded for their goodness

C. prove that moral lessons in schools have little effect

D. show that he has no impression of moral science

When you tell a child about morals, you should               .

A. teach him to share personal moral ideas with others

B. tell him about social norms and cultural differences

C. explain that nobody can influence his moral ideas

D.say that the morals at the present time will be changed

What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A. The best way of teaching children about morals.

B. The value of teachers setting a good example.

C. The influence of people’s behavior on morals.

D. The importance of rewarding good behavior.

Thanks a Million, Dad
I was born disabled.A difficult birth, feet first, my head stuck.By my first birthday, I couldn't stand or walk.
When I was three, the doctor told dad I had cerebral palsy (脑瘫).A loss of oxygen to my brain had destroyed brain signals to the right side of my body.
But no son of my dad' s was going to be disabled.Every morning before breakfast and every evening before bed, my dad placed me on the bedroom floor to exercise my right leg.The muscles were shrunk and twisted together.Back and forth up and down, my dad pushed and pulled the muscles into shape.
But my dad' s exercise of passion didn't stop there.For my 13th birthday, he threw me a special party.When everybody was gone, he brought me to open a large box, it was a-set of boxing gloves.We put them on.My dad kept on beating me mercilessly.Each time I tried to get up, leather kissed my nose, eyes and jaw.I "begged him to stop.

In 1997, a brain surgeon in San Jose told me I didn’t t have cerebral palsy after all.He explained how and where the doctor' s forceps (镊子) at birth had damaged my brain.
My dad never knew the whole truth since he passed away years ago.But all that counts is the bottom line.After all his madness, on this Father' s Day, like every Father' s Day, I' m no longer disabled.
