let them watch as they want.56. why did the author bring a tv into his baby sons room?a. to make his son become quiet. b. to make his son go to sleep as soon as possible.c. to spend the night by watching tv program. d. in order not to let his baby feel lonely.57. the babys reaction(反应) to the tv program is _. a. calm b. excitingc. encouraging d. unexpected58. the underlined phrase “fight about” in the passage probably means _. a. quarrel aboutb. think of c. care ford. talk over59. from the passage, we know that the author is _. a. an editor b. a teacher c. a writer d. a scholar(学者) b our “mommy and me” time began two years ago. my next-door neighbor and fellow mother, christie, and i were our in our front yards, watching seven children of age six and under ride their bikes up and down. “i wish i could take one of my children out alone,” said christie. then we worked out a plan. when christie takes one of her children out alone, ill watch her other three. and when she watched two of mine, i will take someone out. the children were extremely quick to accept the idea of “mommy and me” time. christies daughter, mckenzie, went first. when she returned, the other children showered her with tons of questions. mckenzie was smiling broadly. christie looked refreshed and happy. “she is like a different kid when theres no one else around,” christie shared with me quietly. with her mother all to herself, mckenzie didnt have to make any effort to gain attention. just as christie had noticed changes in mckenzie, i also discovered something different in each of my children during our alone times. for example, im always surprised when my daughter, who is seldom close to me, holds my hand frequently. my stuttering(口吃的) son, tom, doesnt stutter once during our activities since he doesnt have to struggle for a chance to speak. and the other son, sam, who is always a follower when around other children, shines a leader during our times together. the “mommy and me” time allows us to be simply alone and away with each childtalking, sharing and laughing, which has been the biggest gain. every child deserves an only child at least once in a while.60. whats the text mainly about?

twenty pounds,” i said. “ok,” he said, “ill give you twenty pounds.” “its got a slightly broken leg,” i said. “yes, i saw that. its nothing.” everything was going according to the plan and i was getting excited. “what will you do with it?
