A generation of parents raised according to the permissive principles of postwar childcare experts is rediscovering the importance of saying "No" to their children. They are beginning to reclaim the house as their own. Even spanking (打屁股) is back.

While today's parents do not want to return to the Victorian era (时代) — when children were seen, spanked, but not heard — there is a growing acknowledgement that the laissez-faire approach produced a generation of children running rings around puzzled parents struggling to restore order.

Janthea Brigden, a trainer with Parent Network, says: “The problem is that parents don't want all that controlling things. What they want is to be able to discipline (管教) their children through teaching and encouraging."

According to Steve Biddulph, the author of More Secrets of Happy Children, the permissive era was often just an excuse to ignore children. He believes discipline involves firm but friendly teaching and does not need to involve punishment. He teaches a method called "stand and think”, where a child is helped to figure out what is wrong and how to get it right. Mr. Biddulph understands parents using spanking, but lie is against it. "The happiest children are those who know Mum and Dad are in charge. As children grow into their teens, more negotiation can take place, such as: Prove you can be home safely by 1l pm, and we might let you stay out till midnight."

“There is no good evidence that an occasional, properly administered spanking is harmful in any way.”says John Rosemond, an American who has won a huge following by calling for "parent power". It is pure nonsense to believe that restricting children to their room as a punishment could make them have negative feelings about the room and cause sleep problems.

Mr. Rosemond tracks the overturning of traditional family values to the end of the Second World War. He blames the change of the American family into a child-centered, self-respect-oriented (以……为导向) unit on psychologists and social workers, who for 30 years have weakened traditional approaches. Previous generations of American parents raised children not by the book, but by self-evident truth, he says. Children should be seen and not heard. If you make your bed, you'll have to lie in it. He says that those phrases contain time-honored understanding and principles that helped children to develop what we refer to as the "three Rs" of parenting: respect, responsibility and resourcefulness.

1.Which is closest to the meaning of the underlined word "laissez-faire" in the second paragraph?

A.Let it be.  B.Go for it.

C.Get it right.  D.Take it easy.

2.If his child did something wrong, Steve Biddulph would ______.

A.give him a good beating

B.lock him up in a dark room

C.ask him to stand in a corner for hours

D.help him find out the problem and solution

3.By mentioning the underlined part in the last paragraph, Mr. Rosemond　　　　　 .

A.blames parents for ignoring children's rights

B.reminds parents to communicate more with children

C.encourages parents to involve children more in family affairs

D.explains how previous generations of parents raised children

4.What does the passage mainly talk about?

A.The causes of discipline problems.

B.The best way to discipline children.

C.Different opinions on ways of parenting.

D.Differences between parents of different times

According to a recent investigation conducted by the Associated Press(美联社), many Google services on both Android and iPhone devices store records of user location data, and the bad news is that they do it even if the users have turned off the Location History on devices.

Google replied to the study with the following statement, “There are a number of different ways that Google may use location to improve people’s experience, including Location History, Web and App Activity, and through device-level Location Services. We provide clear descriptions of these tools, and strong controls so people can turn them on or off, and delete their histories at any time.”

That isn’t true. Even with Location History paused, some Google apps automatically store time-stamped location data without asking. The Associated Press has used location data from an Android smartphone with Location History turned off to design a map of the movements of Princeton researcher Gunes Acar. The news agency was able to track his movements and identify visited locations, including his home address.

“The privacy issue affects some two billion users of devices that run Google’s Android operating software and hundreds of millions of worldwide iPhone users who rely on Google for maps or search.” continues the Associated Press. Jonathan Mayer, a Princeton researcher and former chief technologist with the FCC remarked that location history data should be deleted when the users switch off the Location History. “If you’re going to allow users to turn off something called Location History, then all the places where you keep location history should be turned off.” Mayer said, “That seems like a pretty straightforward position to have.”

1.What is the Associated Press really concerned about?

A.Google fails to improve users’ experience.

B.Google is able to record users’ location history.

C.Users can’t prevent their location data from being recorded.

D.Users are not informed of how to delete their location history.

2.How does the Associated Press prove that Google is lying?

A.By designing a map of Gunes Acar’s home. B.By tracking the movement of Gunes Acar.

C.By checking Google’s operating software. D.By comparing Google’s location history data.

3.The purpose of writing the passage is to　　　　　　　 .

A.encourage the improvement of Google apps

B.warn the public of their over dependence on Google apps

C.raise public concern over privacy issue caused by Google apps

D.appreciate the Associated Press’s contributions to scientific research

4.Which section of a newspaper is the text probably from?

高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

Several months ago I decided it would be wise to investigate the possibilities of buying a life insurance policy，if for no other reason than because I understood it might be a good investment. I got the name of an insurance agent from a friend and called the agent to get some information.

From the kinds of questions I put to him，the agent would tell that I knew nothing about insurance so he kindly offered to explore the matter with me in more detail -to help me determine the kind of policy I ought to be considering.

That evening he appeared at my door promptly at 7：30；without wasting time on amenities he spread his papers out on the kitchen table and launched into a lengthy explanation. I listened attentively as he talked about the difference between various types of policies，and he explained the kind of coverage he felt I ought to have because of my age bracket and financial objectives. Toward the end of the evening (after three or four hours of talking)，he kindly helped me fill out an application for a 50，000 dollar policy，and then he asked if I could go to a Dr. Luther's office on Friday for a physical examination.

I don't know why，but it was not until the mention of the doctor's appointment that I realized fully what was happening. I was about to sign a lifetime contract yet I had not really made a decision about whether I wanted to buy the policy or not. As a matter of fact，the question of the need for a decision from me one way or the other had not even come up. Suddenly I felt sure that I definitely did not want to buy the policy. However, since he had spent so much time with me，I didn't want to make him feel that he had wasted his time. So I invented an excuse about things I had to do on Friday，and I assured him I would call him in a few days. Actually，I had no intention of going to see Dr. Luther or of calling the agent again. I wanted to forget the whole thing.

It's been over three months now since our meeting，and my friendly insurance agent still calls at my office faithfully two or three times a week. My secretary knows that I don't want to talk to him，so when he calls she tells him that I'm in a meeting or that I'm out of the office or that I'm away on a business trip. I realize now that it was a mistake not to tell him outright that I'm not interested，and please not to bother me any more，all I can do is to avoid his calls and hope I don't run into him someplace.

1.The writer phoned the insurance agent because ______ .

A.He wanted to fill out an application for a life insurance policy.

B.He had decided to buy a life insurance policy.

C.He wanted to explore the possibilities of buying a life insurance policy.

D.He took great interest in the insurance company.

2.According to the passage，the agent was ______ .

A.an experienced salesman B.kind but inexperienced

C.ineffective D.easy to deal with

3.The writer didn't tell the agent the truth because ______ .

A.he was afraid of him.

B.he felt embarrassed to do so.

C.he thought it none of the agent's business.

D.he didn't wish to lose the agents friendship.

4.The writer realizes that ______ .

A.he should have told the truth to the agent earlier.

B.he should buy the policy.

C.the agent is a real friend.

D.insurance is but swindle(骗局)
