Why do some parents tend to hold back their disabled children from experiencing life? Even when they are grown, the parents will not allow certain things to happen. It's true that they do have a certain amount of responsibility in protecting their severely disabled adult child, but at what point do they become overly protective?

Parents want to create a safe haven, a place where they know that nothing bad will happen to their beloved child. This seems to be a respectable and notable act in caring for a person with a disability, but it can have a side effect. When protecting their child from suspected hardships, not wanting anything bad to happen to them, they very well may be preventing good things from happening to them.

In life we all make mistakes, it is how we are able to grow and strengthen our character. Parents may feel that in certain instances their child will get hurt or mistreated in some way, so they build walls in their own minds convincing themselves of the need to shelter. However, the disabled, yes even the “severely disabled” deserve to make personal mistakes as well. Even more, they have the right to succeed.

Parents should do everything and anything within their power to see their disabled children lead a somewhat “normal” life. Parents should help their children, not hold them down. This could make them think they are unworthy and that their parents do not believe in them.

Whatever it may be, let them at least try. If they want to attend college, so be it. Parents should find out all they can, and be involved in every detail. Get to know the aides, experience it with them. If they want to dare and someday marry, so be it. Don't shut them out and form bad or critical opinions about them just because you are afraid. Unite as a family and make it work.

1.What side effect will it have when the parents overprotect their disabled children?

A. Their children will never grow up in the future.

B. Their children will find no shelter when they grow up.

C. Their children will become less confident when facing troubles.

D. Their children will less likely meet with good things.

2.What attitude does the author hold towards the parents who overprotect their disabled children?

A. Supportive.　　 B. Objective.　　 C. Critical.　　 D. Uninterested.

3.The suggestions in the last paragraph imply that ________.

A. parents should be a bridge, not a brick wall

B. parents should act as their children’s best friends

C. parents should encourage their children to get married

D. parents should live in harmony with their disabled children

4.What is the best title of this passage?

A. Living Within Parents’ Power

B. Letting Your Disabled Child Succeed

C. Getting out of a Brick Wall in Their Life

D. Helping Your Disabled Child out of Trouble

Too many people want to be their friends, but they don’t give friendship back. That is why some friendship doesn’t last long. To have a friend, you must learn to be one. You must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest; be generous; be understanding.

Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you do not tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you haven’t been honest, you may lose friend’s trust. Good friends always count on one another to speak and act honestly.

Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You do not have to give your lunch money or your clothes. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feeling. These can be very valuable to a friend. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them, you help your friend know better.

Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and helping with a problem. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend’s place so you can understand the problem better.

No two friendships are ever exactly alike. But all true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friends, you must practice honesty, generosity, and understanding.

1.Some friendships don’t last very long because ________.

2.According to the passage honesty is ___________.

3.Which of the following isn’t mentioned(提及) in the passage?

4.The best title of this passage is __________.

All children want to have pocket money. Why do their parents just give them a certain amount? 51

The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family.  52 Some children get weekly pocket money. Others get monthly pocket money.

First of all, children are expected to make a choice between spending and saving. Then parents should make the children understand what is expected to pay for with the money. At first, some young children may spend all of the money soon after they receive it. Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until it is the right time.  53

In order to encourage their children to do some housework, some parents give pocket money if the children help around the home. Some experts think it not wise to pay the children for doing that.  54

Pocket money can give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with the money. They can spend it by giving it to a good cause. They can spend it by buying things they want. 55Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice. Saving can also open the door to future saving and investing for children.

A One main purpose is to let kids learn how to manage their own money.

B They can save it for future use.

C Timing is another consideration.

D As helping at home is a normal part of family life.

E Some children are not good at managing their pocket money.

F Learning how to get money is very important for every child.

G By doing so, these children will learn that spending must be done with a budget.
