When it comes to bringing up children, everybody agrees that it is not an easy task. 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 (吸引人的) to hurry the child beyond his natural learning speed, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to learn something 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 without any learning chances, 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 strict with the time of coming home at night or being on time for meals. In general, the controls show the needs of the parents and values (价值观) of society as much as the children’s own happiness.

When it comes to the development of moral standards (道德标准) in the growing child, consistency (前后一致性) is very important in parental teaching. To say “No” to a 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 practice what they preach (说教), their children may grow confused and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent cheated.

A sudden realization of a big difference between their parents’ principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.

1.Eagerly watching the child’s acquisition of new skills ___________.

A. is common among parents

B. should be avoided

C. sets up dangerous states of worry in the child

D. will make him lose interest in learning new things

2.In the process of children’s learning new skills parents _____________.

A. should encourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words they read

B. should neither push them too hard nor leave them alone too much

C. should not expect too much of them

D. should create as many learning opportunities as possible

3.The underlined word “precept” in Paragraph 3 probably means __________.

A. idea　　 B. instruction　　 C. behavior　　 D. punishment

4.In moral matters, parents should _______________.

A. consistently make sure of the security of their children

B. realize the big difference between adults and children

C. say “No” to the things that have no foundation in morality

D. obey the rules themselves

The next day Mother’s Day was also celebrated in Philadelphia, Jarvis and others began a letter-writing campaign to ministers, businessmen, and politicians asking to establish a national Mother’s Day. They were successful. President Woodrow Wilson, in 1914,made the official announcement recognizing Mother’s Day as a national celebration that was to be held each year on the 2nd Sunday of May.
