There are many different ways of seeing a town for the first time. One of them is to walk around it, guide-book 26  hand. Of course, we may 27  with our guide-books the history and 28  developments of a town and get to know them.

29  then, if we take our time and 30  in a town for a while, we may get to know it better. When we  31  it as a whole, we begin to have some 32 , which even the best guide-books do not

answer. Why is the town just 33  this —— this shape, this plan, this size? Why do its streets 34  in this particular way, and not in any  35  way?

Here even the best guide-book 36  us. One can’t find the information in it about how a town has developed to the 37  appearance. It may not describe the original 38  of a town. However, one may get some idea of what it 39  look like by walking around the town. One can also imagine 40  the town was first planned and built. Then one can learn more about in what direction the town 41  to develop.

What is the 42  of studying towns in this way？For me, it is 43  a matter that one gets a greater depth of pleasure by visiting and seeing a town with one’s own eyes. A  44  visit to a town may help one better understand why it is attractive 45  just reading about it in a guide-book.

Is it important for teenagers to own the latest cell-phone models? There are different ways of looking at this question.

First, why do teenagers need to have the latest models? Often it’s just to show off. The paradox is that there are many teenagers who own the latest cell-phone models but don’t even know how to use them properly. This is true. They just want one because their friends have similar ones, or because they take very good videos and photos.

On the other hand, if they do know how to use them, the latest cell phones are really good. They not only help teens to stay in touch with friends and family, but also help them to access the Internet and download pictures, videos or music they need when studying. These new phones are so powerful that having one is almost like having a whole library in your pocket. It’s an instant (即刻的) source of information that helps young people get the latest news. But many parents, thinking only of such positive sides, do not take into consideration the potential dangers. For example, children may constantly be distracted(分心) during class by sending and receiving text messages.

Each young generation loves the new technologies available —just think back to when you were a kid. But your job as a parent is to make sure your child gets the most out of this technology with the least possible harm.

There are many differences in the way different cultures raise kids. International visitors can’t help but notice the fact that children are special in China. However, the way some Chinese people treat these very special kids may shock some foreign visitors.

When I told a Chinese mother her child was beautiful, I was nonplussed when she replied, “ No, she’s not; she’s ugly.” Since that time I have heard many similar comments, including, “No, he’s not bright; he’s stupid.” This is a huge cultural difference that needs to be understood when you talk about kids with your international visitors.

Someone explained it to me, “ We Chinese don’t want to appear too proud.” I’m sure there are other people in the world who feel the same way, but most people in my country would consider you a terrible parent if you said your kid was stupid or ugly. They would think you were destroying the child’s self-confidence. When we Americans say something good about our child we don’t think we are being proud because we are saying it about the child, not about ourselves. In this way, we separate the child from the parents as two different persons.

You may think I sound too proud when I freely say to another westerner: “ My daughter is smart and pretty.” Of course, I still have to teach her not to be proud, but I can be proud of her. It’s just the way she was made, and I’m thankful for that. So, in the US when we say something nice about our own kids, it is not considered being too proud but rather, being thankful and being a good parent.

1.What does the underlined word “nonplussed” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A.Hopeful B.Worried

C.Regretful D.Surprised

2.When US parents praise their child in front of others, they _____

A.often feel proud of themselves B.try to build the kid’s confidence

C.just say something nice about the kid D.have similar feelings as Chinese parents

3.What can we infer about the author?

A.He is from the US. B.He is visiting America

C.He is a Chinese parent. D.He is an expert in education.

4.What is mainly discussed in the text?

A.How different cultures in the world raise kids.

B.How Chinese and US parents talk about kids.

C.How US parents feel about themselves.

D.How different countries treat kids.
