tasks is to prepare their children for an independent life, but any parent can tell you that its hard to let go of your children. that balance between keeping your children safe and allowing them to learn from their own mistakes can be heartbreaking. years of experience means that parents often do know best, but on the other hand, the young, being less bound by tradition, are often more creative, more able to find new solutions to old problems. revolutions are led by the young. good teachers make the growth of critical (批判性的) thinking easier in their students, only to find that this can lead to a questioning of the teachers basic beliefs. schools encourage parents to become involved, but are often embarrassed when parents have reservations about some of the educational methods being used. governments encourage unimportant groups to empower themselves in order to participate fully in the development process. and they are often surprised when the new leaders of these groups turn around and attack the policies of that same government. the rebellions (叛逆的)young and the newly unimportant groups are important in social development. they are not necessarily representatives of those they want to represent or not realistic in their demands, but their voices must be heard.good parents know that just forbidding particular behaviors does not prevent their children from finding ways to engage in these forbidden activities. indeed, sometimes the forbidden fruit is more inviting, just because it is not accepted by authority. parents must work with their children to educate them on the facts, know as much as possible about he lives of their children, provide a good example, encourage more wholesome activities but also support their children when they dont follow what is expected of them. but the most important point is that they also need to learn how to let go.文章大意：这是一篇议论文。培养孩子是每个家长的职责，过度的关爱和限制不利于下一代成长，因此家长要学会放手。41by saying “revolutions are led by the young”, the author

showed a drop of more than 6% in student applications with less than a month to go before the deadline for 2013 applications.data from the universities and colleges admissions service (ucas) showed there were 265,784 university applications by uk-based candiates up to 17 decemeber, 6.3% down on the parallel period in the admissions cycle the year before. while this is less than the 8.4% year-on-uear fall seen in earlier ucas figures, released in mid-november, the coming january deadline makes it ever more likely that the total 2013 applicant figure will see a second sizeable fall following the introduction of annual fees of up to 9,000.nicola dandridge, the chairman of universities uk, said : “however, we must be concerned about any drops in the numbers applying to university and in particular, we must look closely at how the increase in graduate contributions in england may be affecting the decisions of promising students. however ,the december figures show a drop in numbers across the uk, suggesting that it is not only a question of tuition fees in england putting off from applying.”a report of the uncas figures to mid-december shows a 6.5% fall for applicants in england and 11.7% for those in wales, with smaller drops of 3.9% for scotland and 0.5% for nortern ireland. scotiish students at home insitiutions pay on fees, while those from nothern ireland have fees capped to 3,575 for northern irish universities.dandridge added: “no one should be put off applying to university because of worries about finance.”“it is important that no one is put off applying to university because they do not have information about the student support available to them. most new students dont need to pay directly. there will be more financial support for those from poorer families and everyone will make lower loan repayments thatn they do now once they are in well paid jobs.”文章大意：是一篇时文。报道了英国一个大学机构对2013以及近年来英国学生上大学申请人数逐年下降，并分析了下降的主要原因，同时也建议，学生应该上大学，并且可以寻求金融资助。36a drop of more than 6% for 2013 applications is probably the effect of .athe increased tuition feesbthe
