8、 transportation without an adult? Probably not. Still, when Lenore Skenazy, a columnist for the New York Sun, wrote about letting her son take the subway alone to get back to her Manhattan home from a department store on the Upper East Side, she didn“t expect to get hit with wave of criticism from r
9、eaders. B “Long story short: My son got home, overjoyed with independence,“ Skenazy wrote on April 4 in the New York Sun. “Long story longer: Half the people I“ve told this episode to now want to turn me in for child abuse. As if keeping kids under lock and key and cell phone and careful watch is th
10、e right way to rear kids. It“s not. It“s debilitating (使虚弱) for us and for them.“ C Online message boards were soon full of people both applauding and condemning Skenazy“s decision to let her son go it alone. She wound up defending herself on CNN (accompanied by her son) and on popular blogs like th
11、e Huffington Post, where her follow-up piece was ironically headlined “More From America“s Worst Morn.“ D The episode has ignited another one of those debates that divides parents into vocal opposing camps. Are Modern parents needlessly overprotective, or is the world a more complicated and dangerou
12、s place than it was when previous generations were allowed to wander about unsupervised? E From the “she“s an irresponsible mother“ camp came: “Shame on you for being so careless about his safety,“ in comments on the Huffington Post. And there was this from a mother of four: “How would you have felt
13、 if he didn“t come home?“ But Skenazy got a lot of support, too, with women and men writing in with stories about how they were allowed to take trips all by themselves at seven or eight. She also got heaps of praise for bucking the “helicopter parent“ trend: “Good for this Mom,“ one commenter wrote
14、on the Huffington Post. “This is a much-needed reality check.“ F Last week, encouraged by all the attention, Skenazy started her own blogFree Range, kidspromoting the idea that modern children need some of the same independence that her generation had. In the good old days nine-year-old baby boomers
15、 rode their bikes to school, walked to the store, took busesand even subwaysall by themselves. Her blog, she says, is dedicated to sensible parenting. “At Free Range Kids, we believe in safe kids. We believe in car seats and safety belts. We do NOT believe that every time school-age children go outs
16、ide, they need a security guard.“ G So why are some parents so nervous about letting their children out of their sight? Are cities and towns less safe and kids more vulnerable to crimes like child kidnap and sexual abuse than they were in previous generations? H Not exactly. New York City, for insta
17、nce, is safer than it“s ever been; it“s ranked 36th in crime among all American cities. Nationwide, stringer kidnaps are extremely rare; there“s a one-in-a-million chance a child will be taken by a stranger, according to the Justice Department. And 90 percent of sexual abuse cases are committed by s
18、omeone the child knows. Mortality rates from all causes, including disease and accidents, for American children are lower now than they were 25 years“ ago. According to Child Trends, a nonprofit research group, between 1980 and 2003 death rates dropped by 44 percent for children aged 5 to 14 and 32
19、percent for teens aged 15 to 19. I Then there“s the whole question of whether modern parents are more watchful and nervous about safety than previous generations. Yes, some are. Part of the problem is that with wall-to-wall Internet and cable news, every missing child case gets so much airtime that
20、it“s not surprising even normal parental anxiety can be amplified. And many middle-class parents have gotten used to managing their children“s time and shuttling them to various enriching activities, so the idea of letting them out on their own can seem like a risk. Back in 1972, when many of today“
21、s parents were kids, 87 percent of children who lived within a mile of school walked or biked every day. But today, the Centers for Disease Control report that only 13 percent of children bike, walk or otherwise get themselves to school. J The extra supervision is both a city and a suburb phenomenon
22、. Parents are worried about crime, and they are worried about kids getting caught in traffic in a city that“s not used to pedestrians. On the other hand, there are still plenty of kids whose parents give them a lot of independence, by choice or by necessity. The After School Alliance finds that more
23、 than 14 million kids aged 5 to 17 are responsible for taking care of themselves after school. Only 6.5 million kids participate in organized programs. “Many children who have working parents have to take the subway or bus to get to school. Many do this by themselves because they have no other way t
24、o get to the schools,“ says Dr. Richard Gallagher, director of the Parenting Institute at the New York University Child Study Center. K For those parents who wonder how and when they should start allowing their kids more freedom, there“s no clear-cut answer. Child experts discourage a one-size-fits-
25、all approach to parenting. What“s right for Skenazy“s nine-year-old could be inappropriate for another one. It all depends on developmental issue, maturity, and the psychological and emotional makeup of that child. Several factors must be taken into account, says Gallagher. “The ability to follow pa
26、rent guidelines, the child“s level of comfort in handling such situations, and a child“s general judgment should be weighed.“ L Gallagher agrees with Skenazy that many nine-year-olds are ready for independence like taking public transportation alone. “At certain times of the day, on certain routes,
27、the subways are generally safe for these children, especially if they have grown up in the city and have been taught how to be safe, how to obtain help if they are concerned for their safety, and how to avoid unsafe situations by being watchful and on their toes.“ M But even with more traffic and fe
28、wer sidewalks, modern parents do have one advantage their parents didn“t: the cell phone. Being able to check in with a child anytime goes a long way toward relieving parental anxiety and may help parents loosen their control a little sooner. Skenazy got a lot of criticism because she didn“t give he
29、r kid her cell phone because she thought he“d lose it and wanted him to learn to go it alone without depending on moma major principle of free-range parenting. But most parents are more than happy to use cell phones to keep track of their kids. N And for those who like the idea of free-range kids bu
30、t still struggle with their inner helicopter parent, there may be a middle way. A new generation of GPS cell phones with tracking software make it easier than ever to follow a child“s every movement via the Internetwithout seeming to interfere or hover. Of course, when they go to college, they might

36、y on the additional score pokey of the college entrance examination based on the picture below. You can cite examples to illustrate your point.

37、ores of the National College Entrance Examination (NCEE) with a magnifier. According to his observation, the final results of NCEE is like a big tree with so many “branches“ of additional scores that it astonishes him. Obviously, the cartoon reflects the confusion that the additional score policy of
38、 NCEE has brought to people. It is undeniable that the intention of the additional score policy is to compensate for the limitations of NCEE and encourage students“ overall development. However, there are some problems arising, with corruption being the first one. Because of the loose design and non
39、-transparent implementation processes, the policy is easy to be taken advantage of by some powerful people. For example, the students whose parents are in power can easily get athletes technical grading certificates, thus obtain additional scores. Another problem is injustice. NCEE is an academic ex
40、amination for entrance into higher education institutions, so additional scores beyond the test results are unfair to those who do have better academic ability. In conclusion, additional scores beside NCEE have been abused in many ways. And we are glad to see that the government has done something t

Under such circumstances, they should remind themselv
43、es about the saying, “The history of human achievement is filled with stories of people who persevere, refusing to give up in the struggle to meet their goals.“ First of all, it takes time for real progress to reveal itself. We all know that Rome wasn“t built in a day. Success is so difficult that i
44、t may take months or even years before our efforts are paid back. That“s why we need patience and perseverance. Secondly, sometimes making no progress doesn“t mean we have taken the wrong path. The way to success is like climbing a mountain. Some of us may give up halfway, asserting that it is an im
45、possible mission. Yet a little detour may lead us to the top. Thus, no matter how grand and how hard our goals are, we should always strive to reach them. Only through unremitting efforts can we truly make our way to success.3.Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short es
