8、n 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 fee
9、lings 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
10、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 times of coming home at ni
11、ght or punctuality for meals. In general, the controls imposed 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 is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a
12、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 practise what they preach(说教), their children may grow confused, and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think
13、for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled. A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents“ principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.（分数：10.00）(1).Eagerly watching the child“s acquisition of new skills_.（分数：2.00）A.should be avoidedB.is univ

More people are workin
21、g than ever before in France. In the cities the traditional leisurely midday meal is disappearing. Offices, shops and factories are discovering the greater efficiency of a short lunch hour in company lunchrooms. In almost all lines of work emphasis now falls on ever-increasing output. Thus the “typi
22、cal“ Frenchman produces more, earns more, and buys more consumer goods than his counterpart of only a generation ago. He gains in creature comforts and ease of life.

23、s because the United States is a world symbol of the technological society and its consumer products. The so-called Americanization of France has its critics. They fear that “assembly-line life“ will lead to the disappearance of the pleasures of the more graceful and leisurely old French style. What
24、 will happen, they ask, to taste, elegance, and the cultivation of the good things in life-to joy in the smell of a freshly picked apple, a stroll by the river, or just happy hours of conversation in a local cafe? Since the late 1940“s life in France has indeed taken on qualities of rush, tension, a
25、nd the pursuit of material gain. Some of the strongest critics of the new way of life are the young, especially university students. They are concerned with the future, and they fear that France is threatened by the triumph of the competitive, goods-oriented culture. Occasionally, they have reacted
26、against the trend with considerable violence. In spite of the critics, however, countless Frenchmen are committed to keeping France in the forefront of the modem economic world.
