16、arents want to raise a happy, successful and loving child, but there is little agreement about how best to reach this goal. Over the years, parents have tried dramatically different ways. They have put their baby on a schedule, or they have fed on demand; they have let their baby cry himself to slee

17、p, or they have picked him up as soon as he cried; they have given their child whatever he wants, or they have taught him to get everything through his own efforts. These contrasting parenting strategies arise from quite different views of the nature of children and childhood and the roles of parent

18、s. Some parents view their child as naturally social. rFo them, their job is to allow him the space to succeed. Others think that their child should be taught how to act. There are probably positives and negatives to each method. None of them guarantees that your child will become the loving individ

19、ual you want him to be. But some things are certain-a child will be more likely to be loving if you show him love more successful if you give him examples of success, and happier if you are happy.Q: 1. What is this passage about?2. What do parents NOT agree upon?3. Why do parents have different meth

20、ods for raising children?4. How will a father raise his child if he believes his child is naturally social?5.

21、r for a business organization, and she is president of a parent-teachers organization. Heres Corinne Colbert with her essay for “This I Believe.My husband is not my best friend .He doesnt complete me. In fact, he can be a self-absorbed jerk. Were nearly polar opposites: Hes a lifetime member of the

22、NRA who doesnt care for journalists, and Im a lifelong liberal with a journalism degree. On the other hand, he doesnt beat or emotionally abuse me .He doesnt drink or chase other women. Hes a good provider. So Im sticking with him .Some people would call that settling, like its a bad thing. But I be

23、lieve in settling.Alas, to many of us, the grass is greener on the other side of the fence. From movies to magazines to commercials, were told that we should demand more from lives that are, for many of us, pretty good. We suppose to look better, eat better, find better jobs, be better lovers and pa

24、rents and workers .A stable marriage isnt enough. Its supposed to be a fairy tale. Perfection is the goal.Settling in my sense, is about acceptance . Im a pretty happy person, in large part because Im honest with myself about what I have.Of course, some situations are worth improving. If your weight

25、 jeopardizes your health, exercise and change your eating habits; if your job makes you truly miserable, find a new one. If your marriage is toxic, end it. Chances are, though, you probably have what you need. If youre unhappy, ask yourself: Am I unhappy because I really dont have what I need, or be

26、cause I just want more?So, yes, Im settling. Im happy with my husband who, despite his flaws, is a caring father, capable of acts of stunning generosity and fiercely protective of his family. Thinking about him may not set me on fire as it used to, but after 17 years and two kids, our love is still

27、warm. And I believe thats good enough.Listening and SpeakingBefore the television was invented, families spent their spare time doing different activities together. Now, most families stay at home and watch TV. But there are a few reasons why watching television can be harmful.The most important rea

28、son why watching TV is bad is it influences how much family members communicate. Parents, grandparents, and other family members have a lot of wisdom to share. This wisdom, however, is often ignored by young people who watch TV.Furthermore, watching television is bad because it reduces childrens stu

29、dy time. Researchers have found that children who watch little or no television spend three hours a day on study more than frequent TV watchers.Finally, TV programs can be a bad influence. Some shows, as we all know, include inappropriate language and too much violence. And while there is still a gr

30、eat amount of general discussion as to whether or not children will imitate the bad things they see on TV, many researchers say children do repeat what they see .Several studies link their behaviors to TV programs; for example, children are three times more likely to get into fights at school if the

31、y watch violent TV programs.Supplementary Listening1. M: Hello? Yes, Um, can I get some help over here?W: Sure thing, handsome. Whatll it be?M: A menu, please.W: We dont serve food-just the beers you see on the wall.M: All right .What about that one? Its German, right?W: Yeah, It is. Is that what yo

32、nd like?M: Thatll do. But Id like a cold one if you got one.W: Sure thing, sweetie. Thatll be $6.25.M: Say, youre kinda friendly, wrent you?W: Suppose it comes with the job. It pays to be nice to people, dont you think?M: I suppose it does. Thats what my mother said to me anyway. Oh, wait. Wait a se

33、cond. Oh no. I cant believe this.W: Whats wrong?M: I think I left my wallet somewhere.W: Quick, look around. Its gotta be around here. Maybe on the floor.M: No . its not there. I dont know where it could be. Any chance you can be nice and give the beer for free?W: No chance of that happening. No,if

34、no ones paying, Im not nice.Q: 1. What is the man doing in this conversation?2. Where does this conversation take place?3. What does the man want?4. What did the mans mother teach him?5. When is the woman friendly?2. Its difficult to know what is truly happening inside a relationship. Though a woman

35、 might appear to be happy, she may be a victim of violence. And though a man may appear to be gentle, he might not actually be. Every year estimates range from 3.4 million acts of violence against a wife or girlfriend to 3 .9 million in this small country.This is bad news. Unfortunately, there is mo

36、re. Nearly one-third of women reported being beaten by a husband or boyfriend at some point in their lives. Some of this violence resulted in injuries that required a doctors care. Thirty-seven percent of women who sought emergency room treatment for violence-related injuries in 2005 were injured by

37、 their own husbands or boyfriends.Whats more, twenty-six percent of all female murder victims in 2006 were killed by their partners.What this means is that we as a society must look for the signs of violence. Do you know someone who often gives poor excuses for being hurt? Maybe you should talk with

38、 her about violence. Often a woman will stay in a violent relationship because she believes her husband or boyfriend loves her. But she should know that violence does not equal love.Q: 1. According to the passage, what is difficult?2. How many women are beaten by a husband or boyfriend per year?3. W

39、hat can we infer from this passage?4. What percentage of female murder victims were killed by a partner in 2006?5. Why does a woman often choose to stay in a violent relationship?3. Who doesnt love being in love? A true love listens to talk about work, lets you have that last Dslice of pie, and (usu

And he always thinks youre 3)beautiful, even without makeup.Scientists have long been keen to prove that love gives us health 4)benefits too. Researchers cant say for sure that a lover is more important t

But they are learning more about how a romantic partner makes us stronger, with health gains that 6)range from faster healing and better control over illnesses to living longer.The benefits of love are 7)explicit and measurable. A

42、study last year from the University of Pittsburgh found that women in good marriages have a much lower risk of hear disease than those in high-stress relationship. The National Love and Health Study 8) has been tracking more than a million subjects since 1979 . The study shows that married people li
