Don’t be hard____your children and don’t be rude ___your parents. They are all your friends.

　 A. on; to　　　　 B. on; with　　　 C. with; to　　　 D. to; on

One of my longest-running battles with my kids is about manners specifically，about whether it's necessary to send hand-written thank-you notes for gifts．I say yes，and my children have continued throughout their teens to write the notes．But they grumble that I'm out of step with the times．

If a new BabyCenter poll is any guide, I'm not alone．A surprisingly large number of parents still insist that their children practice such old-fashioned manners as putting pen-to-paper to say thank you，treating adults with respect and addressing adults as “Mr．, Mrs．or Miss．”A majority of the 1,000 parents surveyed also said they insist at dinner that children keep napkins in their laps，ask to be excused from the table and refrain from talking with a full mouth．

Among the reasons cited most often by parents，BabyCenter says，is that “the world is a more free-wheeling place，and they want to give their kids a stronger moral compass to guide them．”This thinking was affirmed by 64％of those surveyed．And 58％say they see so many badly behaved kids around them that they're determined to raise their children differently．

This poses a particular challenge for parents who work outside the home and must find a sitter, nanny or other child-care provider who will insist on the manners they consider most important．

Pediatrician(儿科医生)Perri Klass wrote recently in the New York Times about her annoyance at a rude，demanding child who was among her longtime patients．Although she veiled her injunctions to the mother in euphemisms(委婉语)，talking to her about “setting limits，”Dr．Klass wrote，“I do pass judgment on kids with bad manners and so does every pediatrician I know．”Rude kids make her wonder whether there is something wrong with the family，among other things，she says．“The whole ‘manners’ concept might seem a bit odd，”she says，“until you recast(重新界定)it as ‘social skills’ a hot-button child-development issue，as I wrote in a recent column．”

Readers，what manners do you insist upon for your children? Has other kids' bad behavior led you to toughen your standards? Do the strict rules embraced by parents in the BabyCenter survey seem right，or too formal?

51．What does the underlined sentence in the second paragraph refer to?

C．Children without good manners cannot deal with the challenges in the world．

D．The badly-behaved children will do harm to the society．

53．       are the right persons to attend to the children while the parents work outside．

A．Those who do good cooking    B．Those who ignore the good manners

第二节：阅读下面短文，第76至80题表述了下列五人各自在对待家庭或家人（邻居）方面的问题，他们需要你的帮助。请从所给的六个选项（A、B、C、D、E和F）中选出符合各自表达需求的最佳选项，并答在答题卷上。选项中有一项是多余选项。

76.      

My husband and I are young parents (He’s 25 and I’m 23). He has a job that he loves and I am a stay-at-home mom and I love it. We are the proud parents of our three children, and plan to have more. We’ve got a lot of comment, even from strangers, which is very upsetting to us. Any advice not to let people speak ill of us behind our backs?

77.      

       My wife has two grandchildren whom she seldom gets to see. Her daughter married, and the new husband is trying to keep the kids away from our family, only allowing them to stay with his family. Is there any other way to deal with this problem other than sue（控诉）for grandparents’ right?

78.      

       My 20-year-old daughter is very pretty, but always gets treated better by men than “average” people. Once she was getting gas and another customer (male of course) bought it for her. I told her it was wrong to take advantage of her good looks, but she said if men wanted to do things for her because of her beauty, she would let them do it. What do you think?

79.      

       What do you do with a neighbor who doesn’t care about her yard? She leaves useless things outside, doesn’t ever paint the house and her lawn is always in an untidy state. The rest of us work hard to have homes that are attractive to the community. This person’s neglect is bringing down our property values.

80.      

       My husband is patient, lovable and caring. He packs my lunch each day with a handwritten lovely note, mows the lawn, etc. But when he packs my lunch, he uses a piece of paper to wipe his hands, and then throws it on the floor. It’ll stay there forever. But I’m not his mother. How can I get him to clean up after himself?

A. If you like, throw a lawyer into the middle of a family conflict—and prepare for war. I highly recommend giving peace a chance. What you are describing here is a serious disagreement between your wife and her daughter that is blamed on the husband. Your wife and daughter need a good heart-to-heart communication with no kids or husbands around.

B. The mother has an additional influence on her sons: she not only gives them clues to what they will find attractive in a mate, but also affects how they feel about women in general. So if she is warm and nice, her sons are going to think that’s the way women are. They will likely become warm-hearted and also be cooperative around the house.

C. There are so many possible reasons for your neighbour’s neglect. Perhaps she is a millionaire; maybe she’s physically unable to do the work and can’t afford to pay someone to do it; perhaps she likes her home the way it is. I’m afraid the best you and your neighbours can do is go to her, share your feelings of worry about what effect she’s having on your properties and you may not like this! Offer to clean up her yard.

D. You don’t need to show that your choice are reasonable to anyone, especially to rude people .If you’re lovable and responsible parents, next time you get a comment on your family, laugh it off and tell them, “I was born to love babies.” If a stranger pipes up with an unsolicited（未经同意的）opinion, say dryly , “How kind of you to be concerned about my family .Excuse me.” And move on.

E. Controlling is cruel and taking advantage of one’s appearance is ugly. If she cares about maintaining her beauty and her self-respect, she needs to stop taking things for free from men. Remind her that nothing in life is free.

F. You want help? Most women would love to have your husband. How about this? While your husband is packing your lunch, composing handwritten lovely notes and mowing the lawn, why don’t you pick up the newspapers, wipe the floor and then leave him a note telling him what a treasure he is. On behalf of women everywhere, embrace this man!
