A Night Out
Michelle walked out the theater humming(哼唱) a tune．She’d just seen a wonderful musical at the beautiful Paramount Theater．she closed her eyes, she could still see the beautiful costumes and stage sets．It was now after 11 p.m., and she really didn’t like being out late by

she’d left her car．But her car was nowhere to be seen．She began to feel nervous．Someone had stolen her car! What was she going to do?

she checked every corner of her wallet．And to her horror, her credit card was missing! Then she remembered．She’d ordered something on the Internet and left the card by her computer．She headed back toward the theater and the lights on Pike Street．Then she saw something familiar．Her car! She realized she
(park) on Pike Street not Pine Street! Once again
(sing) a song from the show, she got into her car and headed home.

They are barely in their twenties and are already multimillionaires.

Millions of jobless Americans, who might be suffering in anxiety and lacking a sense of security, are showing up at emergency rooms of state-owned hospitals, contributing to a longer waiting time and a higher risk of cursory treatment by overworked doctors and nurses.
Alice Miller, a psychology expert, who died at 87 at home in Provence, France, on April 14, repositioned the family as a central place of abnormal psychological function with her theory that parental power and punishment lay at the root of nearly all human problems.
In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child's acquisition (学会) of each new skill -- the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.
Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters. Others are severe over time of coming home at night or punctuality（准时）for meals. In general, the controls represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child's own happiness.
As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency（前后一致） is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality (道德). Also, parents should realize that "example is better than precept". If they are not sincere and do not practice what they preach (说教), their children may grow confused when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled.

| B．should expect a lot of the children |

| D．should create as many learning opportunities as possible |

| B．parental controls reflect only the values of the community |
| C．parental restrictions vary, and are not always for the benefit of the children alone |
| D．it’s parents’ and society’s duty to control the children |
