To be well disciplined is to have learned to live 36 the rules and regulations that society has set up for the behavior of its members.Unless the child learns from each disciplinary situation how better to govern his 37 , effective discipline has not been developed. Parents must 38 for themselves the idea that successful discipline results in learning. When they approach situations in which a child must 39 themselves to demands made upon them as learning situations, many problems usually thought of in connection with discipline 40 . 41 , the word discipline has come to have other less constructive meanings. Far too often discipline is thought of as 42 . To many people, to discipline a child means to spank (掌掴) him or use some other method of punishment. Such people consider discipline a way of either keeping a child from doing something or of 43 him to do something.It is the task of parents to build within themselves and within the children with whom they live this 44 for self-direction, based upon an understanding of what is 45 of individuals in a democratic (民主的) society. This means learning to 46 in those ways known to be necessary for the “good life”, not for ones self alone but also for others.Developing the ability for self-discipline in a child is a long, 47 process. Much patience is required on the 48 of the parents. During this development, it is important that the childs self-confidence and 49 acceptance of himself should never be sacrificed in a disciplinary battle; 50 , it should be increased through the ways in which his parents meet disciplinary situations. Many parents show a good deal of 51 if the little child does not rapidly learn how to keep clean, eat well, be 52 , and do what he is told. They are so eager for him to achieve these things that they seem to try to 53 him rapidly through his baby period. They seem also to think that learning to do these things at the earliest possible age will place the child one jump 54 in the competitive race for success. But 55 too much too early is a common mistake and results in many battles.36. A. in peace withB. in accordance withC. in terms ofD. in view of 37. A. conductB. growthC. securityD. education38.

Also called Bergkristall, or “mountain crystal”, its made of wood like a traditional chalet but covered in an aluminum (铝) shell. It is 90% energy self-sufficient, with full temperature controls and wastewater recycling.SUSTAINABLE ARCHITECTURE, VORARLBERG For more than a decade, the small western province of Vorarlberg in Austria has gained a reputation for daring and innovative architecture. With the use of locally sourced lumber (木材) and other renewable resources, the region has assembled a remarkable collection of contemporary, environmentally sound shops, homes, farmhouses, and public buildings that are masterpieces of progressive design. BMW WORLD IN MUNICH Bavarian Motor Works, better known as BMW, has for decades produced cars that are strong evidence to German engineering, innovation, and inspired design. BMW World in Munich puts these principles into thrilling architectural form with a multi-functional exhibition space offering a dynamic customer experience. Located near BMW Headquarters, the buildings roof is anchored by a swirled double cone of glass and steel. Active and passive solar power helps to heat and cool the massive interior, which is flooded with natural light.Enter for the chance to win a trip to the Alps!Test your Alpine acumen and enter for a chance to win a trip for two to the Alps, including airfare and a 4-night first-class hotel stay. Go to /alps for details, and enter for a chance to win!56. According to the passage, what probably impresses visitors most in the Alps region is _. A. a traditional, wooden chalet named Vorarlberg B. the creative architectural forms and energy-efficient designs C. the chance to win a trip for two places of interest in the Alps D. the Bergkristall made of sourced lumber and renewable resources57. What is unique of BMW World in Munich? A. Its designs are mainly conventional. B. It was named after a famous German engineer. C. Its a branch of BMW Headquarters which produces cars. D. Its customers can enjoy wonderful exhibition experiences.BIn 1693 the philosopher John Locke warned that children should not be given too much “unhealthy fruit” to eat. Three centuries later, misguided ideas about child-raising are still popular. Many parents fear that their children will die unless ceaselessly watched. In America the law can be equally paranoid (偏执的). In South Carolina this month Debra Harrell was jailed for letting her 9-year-old daughter play in a park unsupervised (无人监督的). Her severe punishment reflects the rich worlds worry about parenting. By most objective measures, modern parents are far more conscientious than previous generations. Dads are more hands-on than their fathers were, and working mothers spend more time nurturing their children than the housewives of the 1960s did. However, there are two problems in this picture, connected to class. One is at the lower end. Even if poor parents spend more time with their children than they once did, they spend less than rich parents do. America is a laggard here: its government spends abundantly on school-age kids but much less than other rich countries on the first two or three years of life. If America did more to help poor parents with young children, it would have huge returns. The second one, occurs at the other end of the income scale, and may even apply to otherwise rational Economist readers: well-educated, rich parents try to do too much. Safety is part of itthey fear that if they are not constantly watching their children may break their necks, which is the least rational. Despite the impression you get from watching crime dramas, children in rich countries are safe, so long as they look both ways before crossing the road. The other popular parental fearthat your children might not get into an Ivy League collegeis more rational. Academic success matters more than ever before. But beyond a certain point, parenting makes less difference than many parents imagine. Studies in Minnesota and Sweden, for example, found that identical twins grew up equally intelligent whether they were raised together or apart. A study in Colorado found that children that adopted and raised by brainy parents ended up no brainier than those adopted by average parents. This doesnt mean that parenting is irrelevant. The families who adopt children are carefully screened, so they tend to be warm, capable and middle-class. But the twin and adoption studies indicate that any child given a loving home and adequate stimulation is likely to fulfill her potential. Put another way, better-off parents can afford to relax a bit. And if you are less stressed, your children will appreciate it, even if you still make them eat their fruit and vegetables.58. Which of the following statements is NOT a misguided idea of parenting mentioned in the passage?A. Children should be protected from any dangers by their parentsB. The more conscientious parents are, the more children will surely benefit from parentingC. Children will die unless ceaselessly watchedD. Children are likely to fulfill their potential with a loving home and adequate stimulation59. The underlined word “laggard” in Paragraph 2 probably means a country that _.A. is ahead in development B. falls slow behind others C. is free from physical or mental disorderD. moves to a higher position 60. Which of the following can we learn from the passage? A. Only warm, capable and middle-class people can adopt a child.B. When it comes to child-raising, Economist readers will become more rational.C. Children in rich countries are in greater danger due to the bad influence of crime dramas.D. Although poor parents spend more time with their kids than they once did, they spend less than rich parents do.61. This passage is mainly written to _.A. urge American laws concerning parenting to be changedB. advise modern parents to learn from their previous generations C. persuade stressed parents to learn to relax and give more freedom to their childrenD. call on the government to do more to help poor parents with school-age childrenC For years，studies have found that first-generation college studentsthose who do not have a parent with a college degree lag other students on a range of education achievement factors. Their grades are lower and their dropout rates are higher. But since such students are most likely to advance economically if they succeed in higher education，colleges and universities have pushed for decades to recruit more of them. This has created “a paradox” in that recruiting first-generation students，but then watching many of them fail，means that higher education has “continued to reproduce and widen，rather than close” achievement gap based on social class, according to the depressing beginning of a paper forthcoming in the journal Psychological Science. But the article is actually quite optimistic，as it outlines a potential solution to this problem， suggesting that an approach（which involves a one-hour, next-to-no-cost program）can close 63 percent of the achievement gap（measured by such factors as grades）between first-generation and other students. The authors of the paper are from different universities, and their finding are based on a study involving 147 students（who completed the project）at an unnamed private university. First generation was defined as not having a parent with a four-year college degree Most of t
