problem. whatever you do or however you choose to deal with it, at certain times a wonderful, reasonable and helpful child will turn into a terrible animal.ive seen friends deal with it in all kinds of different ways. one strict mother insisted that her son, right from a child, should stand up whenever anyone entered the room, open doors and shake hands like a gentleman. i saw him last week when i called round. sprawling himself (懒散地躺) on the sofa in full length, he made no attempt to turn off the loud tv he was watching as i walked in, and his greeting was no more than a quick glance at(瞥一眼) me. his mother was ashamed（惭愧的）. “i dont know what to do with him these days,” she said. “hes forgotten all the manners we taught him.”he hasnt forgotten them. hes just decided that hes not going to use them. she confessed (坦白) that she would like to come up behind him and throw him down from the sofa onto the floor.another good friend of mine let her two daughters climb all over the furniture, reach across the table, stare at me and say, “i dont like your dress; its ugly.” one of the daughters has recently been driven out of school. the other has left home.“where did we go wrong?” her

opinion about the sudden change in teenage children?a. parents should work more closely with school teachers.b. parents should pay still sore attention to the change.c. parents have no choice but to

how it had changed my views of the current us president(总统). the person i was talking to agreed with me that it was, in his words, “a wonderfully written book.” however, he then proceeded to talk about mr. obama in a way that suggested he had no idea of his background at all. i sensed that i was talking to a book liar(说谎者)and it seems that he is not the only one. clearly two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they havent. in the world book day survey(调查), dreams from my father is at number 9. the survey lists top ten books, and various authors, which people have lied about reading. as im not one to lie too often, ill admit here and now that i havent read the entire ten books. but i am pleased to say that i have read the book at number one, george orwells 1984. i think its absolutely outstandingasked why they lied, the most common reason was to impress someone they were speaking to. this could be difficult if the conversation became more in-depth!the world book day survey also has some other interesting information in it. it shows that many people lie about having read classical works by jane austen, the bronte sisters, charles dickens and so on. but when asked which authors they actually enjoy, they named jk rowling, jilly cooper, and stephen king. forty-one percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end
