I take the firm position that parents do not owe their children a college education. If they can  __1  it, they can certainly send them to the best universities. But they must not feel guilty if they can’t. If the children really want to go, they’ll find a   2   out. There are plenty of loans(貨款)and scholarships for the bright and   3  ones who can’t afford to pay.
When children grow up and want to get  married, their parents do not owe them a down payment on a house. They do not have the   4  to baby-sit their grandchildren. If they want to do it,it must be considered a(n)   5  not an obligation(責(zé)任,義務(wù)).
Do parents owe their children anything? Yes,they owe them a great deal.
One of their obligations is to give their children personal   6  .A child who is constantly made to feel stupid and unworthy, constantly  7  to brighter brothers, sisters, or cousins will become so  _8_ , so afraid of failing that he(or she)won’t try at all .Of course they should be __9__ corrected when they do wrong, but it’s often better to let children learn their mistakes by themselves in time.All our parents should do is to trust them, respect them, tolerate(寬容)them and give them chances to try and fail.They must learn to stand   10  .When criticisms(批評)are really needed,they should be  11 with praises,with a smile and a kiss.That is the way children learn.
Parents owe their children a set of solid values around which to build their lives.This means teaching them to  12 the rights and opinions of others;it means being respectful to elders,to teachers,and to the law.The best way to teach such values is by  13  .A child who is lied to will lie.A child who sees no laughter and no love in the home will have   14  laughing and loving.
No child asks to be  15  .If you bring a life into the world,you owe the child something.

科目:高中英語 來源:廣西桂林十八中2009-2010學(xué)年度高一下學(xué)期4月段考(英語) 題型:閱讀理解


Did you know it takes 21 days to form a good habit? Research shows that when you “stick to something” for three weeks you are more likely to reach your goals. This is important for language learners or anyone who wants to make a change.
People who try something new often “fall off the wagon”. Whether it is a plan to lose weight or a decision to learn something, life often gets in the way. Those who make up their minds to learn English are more likely to succeed if they have a short-term goal at the beginning.
How to make learning English a habit:
Set a specific goal
Example: Break up the four main skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing) and plan to do one hour of practice in each area at the same time every day.
Find a learning partner
Choose a friend to keep you moving towards your goal. Your friend doesn’t need to be a language learner. He can be someone who wants to start exercising. He can be someone who wants to write a novel. It is best if you both have a goal.
Write out how your life will change when you reach your goal
If I improve my English, I will be able to get a better job.
If I take the TOEFL test, I will be able to get into university.
If I improve my pronunciation, my customers will understand me.
Keep track of your progress
Keep track of your effort in a notebook or online list. Share your progress list with your partner.
When you reach 21 days, reward yourself! Go out for a dinner or a movie or buy yourself a treat. It will be easier to stay on your program now that you are in the habit. If you ever fall off again, put yourself back on the 21-day challenge.
65. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Life sometimes makes people give up their plans or decisions.
B. An English learner should find a language learner as a partner.
C. A long-term goal is of importance in forming a good habit.
D. It is necessary to spend an hour on each language skill every day.
66. Why does the author advise an English learner to reward himself when he reaches 21 days?
A. Because he should share his progress with his partner.
B. Because he has had a good knowledge of English.
C. Because he would put himself on another 21-day challenge.
D. Because he has formed a good habit of learning English.
67. The best title of the passage would be “________”.
A. Taking 21 days to form a good habit
B. A research on learning English
C. Make learning English a habit
D. Setting a goal in life
