youre such a psycho(精神变态者).”can you say it is right or wrong for them to behave like that? their changeable personalities leave you feeling angry and guilty at the same time. in fact, if your kids dont annoy you from time to time, youre not doing your job.“theres nothing wrong about being angry with your child,” says laurence steinberg, ph.d., author of the 10 basic principles of good parenting. “conflict is natural when your innocent, lovely child turns into an adolescent who can hardly tolerate you. its part of the process of separation.” kids insisted on their individuality with behavior to purposely drive you crazy. its their way of saying, “i am my own person” - but doing it in a context thats safe and that has clear limits.so when your little darling changes into a silent person who still expects meals, clothing, and transportation, dont panic. heres how to handle some common problems without losing your temper or your self-respect.60. it can be learned from the first paragraph that _.a. jesses mother told a lie b. liz told a lie to her mother c. the writer was too sensitive d. the writers daughter stayed at jesses house61. by saying “in fact, if your kids dont annoy you from time to time, youre not doing your job”, the writer probably means that _.a. its understandable for kids to annoy their parentsb. parents shouldnt tolerate their childrens bad behaviorc. when you are doing a job, your kids shouldnt annoy youd. parents should be responsible for childrens bad behavior62. whats the main idea of the third paragraph? a. its right for parents to be angry with their children.b. its allowed for children to do anything as they like.c. its bad behavior for children to drive their parents angry.d. its normal for adolescents to go against the wishes of their parents sometimes.63. what would the writer state in the following paragraphs?a. how to be good parents. b. how to be good children.c. rules for children to follow. d. how to deal with adolescents common problems properly.ccloning is suggested as a means of bringing back a relative, usually a child, killed tragically. some parents can understand that wish, but it must first be recognized that the copy would be a new baby and not the lost child. here lies the difficulty, for the sad parents are seeking not a new baby but a return of the dead one. since the original would be fondly remembered as having particular talents and interests, would not the parents expect the copy to be the same? it is possible, however, that the copy would develop quite differently. is it fair for the new child to be placed in a family with such unnatural expectations?copying is also suggested as a means by which parents can have the child of their dreams. couples might choose to have a copy of a film star, baseball player or scientist, depending on their interest. but because personality is only partly the result of genetic inheritance (基因遗传), conflicts would be sure to come up if the cloned child failed to develop the same interests as the original. what if the copy of einstein shows no interest in science? or the baseball player turns to acting? success also depends upon fortune. what if the child does not live up to the hopes and dreams of the parents simply because of bad luck?every baby should be wanted for itself, as an individual. in making a copy of oneself or some famous person, a parent is carefully specifying (详细说明) the way he or she wishes that child to develop. in recent years, particularly in the united states, much importance has been placed on the right of individuals to reproduce in ways that they wish. so i suggest there is a greater need to consider the interest of the child and to refuse these suggested uses of cloning.64. according to the author, in cloning a lost child parents _.a. lose the talents of the lost child b. expect too much from the copyc. are sure to have an identical copy d. are sure to have a baby of their dreams65. what, in the authors opinion, affects the success of parents dreams?a. the efforts of the parents. b. the cloned childs personality.c. the cloned childs interest in einstein. d. the cloned childs natural talent.66. in the last paragraph, the author implies that _.a. the cloned child is viewed as independentb. parents carefully protect the rights of the cloned childc. parents are eager to wish the cloned child to be somebody.d. the right of growing in his own way is taken away from the cloned childd“mom, ive been on the campus lots of times,” i said. “its not like i dont know what its like.” we were standing in the kitchen, and my mom was preparing dinner.my mom nodded but her voice was firm. “thats true, claire, but youve seen what your sisters life is like at wheatonnot what yours could be like. you need to see what the school is like for yourself.”i had visited several colleges during the fall of my junior year, and i was feeling overloaded with all of the trips to different schools. i hadnt made an “official” trip to my sisters school because i had visited her there so many times already. id seen her dorm room and had walked around campus. i was sure i could fairly compare it to other schools without another trip to the campus.but what mom said made me think.when she turned the gas off, i sighed. “ok, mom, ill do the official visit thing, but i dont think itll change my opinion much.”on my official visit to wheaton, i went to all of the informational events on campus, sat in the hall and ate in the dining hall. i had to admit it was different from visiting my sister. i felt more independent, and i started to imagine myself on the campus. after lunch, i visited a class because on my other campus visits, i felt like sitting into a class was the best way to see what it was like to be a student there. when i entered the classroom at wheaton, several of the students said hello to me and introduced themselves. once class started, the professor acknowledged each of the visitors one by one.the professor started lecturing after that, and as i listened to him talk about the history of the country, somethin
