successful in his own way. several weeks ago, i was doing homework with my son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair to go over the math lines. i kept asking him to sit down, telling him that he would concentrate better. he sat but seconds later, as if he didnt even notice he was doing it, he got up again. i was getting disappointed, but then it hit me. i started noticing his answers were much quicker and accurate when he stood up. could he be more concentrated while standing up? this made me start questioning myself and what i had been raised to believe. i was raised to believe that a quiet, calm child was a sure way to success. this child would have the discipline to study hard, get good grades and become someone important in life. now those same people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of dna and personality characteristics, and all you can do is loving and accepting them. as parents, throughout their growing years and beyond that, we need to be our kids best cheerleaders, guiding them and helping them find their ways. i have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate. obviously, he is concentrating just in his own way and not mine. we need to learn to accept our kids ways of doing things. some way may have worked for me but doesnt mean we need to carry it through generations. there is nothing sweeter than being individual and unique. it makes us free and happy and thats just the way i want my kids to live their own life. 56. at the beginning, the author tried to keep his son seated in order to make him. a. pay more attention to his study b. keep silent in the roomc. finish his homework on time d. get right answers57. inspired by the case of his son, the author began to doubt. a. the

ramsay and jamie oliver, according to a report from oxford university. the effect of the celebrity role models, who have given cooking a more manly picture, has combined with a more general drive towards sexual equality and men now spend more than twice the amount of time preparing meals than they did in 1961.according to the research by prof. jonatahn gershuny, who runs the centre for time research at oxford, men now spend more than half an hour a day cooking, up from just 12 minutes a day in 1961.prof. gershuny said, “the man in the kitchen is part of a much wider social trend. there has been 40 years of sexual equality, but there is another 40 years probably to come.”women, who a generation ago spent nearly two hours a day cooking, now spend just one hour and seven minutesa great fall, but they still spend far more time in the kitchen than men.some experts have named these men in aprons as “gastrosexuals (men using cooking skills to impress friends)”, who have been inspired to pick up a kitchen knife by the success of ramsay, oliver as well as other male celebrity chefs such as hugh fearnley-whittingstall, marco pierre white and keith floyd. “i was married in 1974. when my father came to visit me a few weeks later, i was wearing an apron when i opened the door. he laughed,” said prof. gershuny. “that would never happen now.”two-thirds of adults say that they come together to share at least three times a week, even if it is not necessarily around a kitchen or dining room table. prof. gershuny pointed out that the family meal was now rarely eaten by all of its members around a tablewith many “family meals” in fact taken on the sofa in the sitting room, and shared by family members. “the family meal has changed a lot, and few of us eatas i did when i was a childat least two meals a day together as a family. but it has survived in a different form.” 64. what is one reason behind the trend that men spend more time cooking than before?a. the improvement of cooks skills.b. the influence of popular female chefs.c. the change of females view on cooking.d. the development of sexual equality campaign65. what does the author think about the time men and women spend on cooking?a. women spend much less time on cooking than before.b. men spend more time cooking than women nowadays.c. it will take 40 years before men spend more time at the stove than women.d. there is a sharp decline in the time men spend on cooking compared with 1961.66. how did prof. gershuny see the family meal according to the passage?a. it has become a thing of the past.b. it shouldnt be advocated in modern times.c. it is very different from what it used to be.d. it is beneficial to the stability of the family.67. which is the best title for the passage?a. the changes of family
