steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. it is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, 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 use a toilet 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 opportunities, 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 severe (严格的) over time of coming home at night or punctuality for meals. in general, the controls represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the childs own happiness. as regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching. to forbid 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 when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled. a sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.62. eagerly watching the childs acquisition of new skills _. a. should be avoided b. is universal among parents c. sets up dangerous states of worry in the child d. will make the child lose interest in learning new things63. in the process of childrens learning new skills, parents _. a. should encourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words they read b. should expect a lot of the children c. should achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their own. d. should create as many learning opportunities as possible.64. the second paragraph mainly tells us that _. a. parents should be strict with their children b. parental controls reflect only the values of the community c. parental restrictions vary, and are not always for the benefit of the children alone d. its parents and societys duty to control the children65. the word precept in paragraph 3 probably means _. a. opinion b. punishment c. behavior d. instruction66. in terms of moral matters, parents should _. a. follow the rules themselves b. be aware of the huge difference between adults and children c. forbid their children to follow hook teachings d. always ensure the security of their childrenb a glacial lake in the andes has disappeared mysteriously, prompting local geologists to head to bernardo ohiggins national park in patagonia, chile, to find out what happened. the lake, some 20,000 square metres in area, was last seen in march. by may, all that was left was a 30-metre-deep crater (凹地). a river running from it had reduced to a trickle (细流)，according to the park workers who first noticed the lake was missing. its not the first time that a lake has disappeared, although it is quite rare for bodies of water to disappear so quickly. in central russia in may 2005, lake beloye disappeared “ overnight ” according to local reports. people assumed that the water had been sucked into an underground cave or river. scott lake, in florida, disappeared into a sinkhole over the course of a week in june 2006. one explanation for the disappeared chilean lake is an earthquake that happened in the neighbouring aysen region in april, which measured 6.2 on the richter scale. such an earthquake might open up a break in the earth, allowing the water to drain away (渐渐枯竭). but stephan harrison, an expert on patagonian glaciers at exeter university, penryn, cornwall, suspects that melting ice is to blame. “ this is probably just a natural process,” he says. harrison points out that many glacial lakes are dammed by blocks of ice. “ the ice will eventually melt,” says harrison- and that can release a flood of water called a glacial lake outburst flood (glof). such events are becoming more common, he says, as climate change causes more melting. but the speed at which this chilean lake disappeared is unusual, he adds. glofs can also be set off by earthquakes.67. which may be the best title for the passage?a. disappearing lakes exists in the world. b. a disappeared lake in andes confuses geologists.c. geologists find new disappearing lakes.d. geologists find out the reason for the disappearing of lakes. 68. it can be inferred from the passage that the disappearing of lakes is _. a. closely related to earthquakes. b. hardly believable.c. not rare for experts. d. a threat to the world. 69. what can we learn from the passage? a. a river once connected with the chilean lake. b. the chilean lake disappeared in march.c. the chilean lake is 20,000 metres away from the aysen region.d. most disappeared lakes disappeared overnight. 70. what did harrison suggest might be the most direct cause of the chilean lakes disappearance? a. an earthquake. b. climate change.c. melting ice. d. a glof.(四)amystery novels(侦探小说) are popular worldwide. agatha christie is considered as one of
