Her eyes lowered as she continued,

33、Ive already lost my mum, so I dont think I can stand losing him. I couldn t answer. My heart ached for her.I sat on the seat thinking of the great pain my own mother was thrown into when her father died.I saw how hard it was, and still is, for her.

38、ionship founded on trust. A child of any age will feel proud and grown-up if parents frequently show their trust. In court a defendant（被告）is innocent until proved guilty. But in the family, a teenager “ defendant is too often assumed guilty.Even when the child is caught in a complete lie, this shoul

41、ars later we can again trust Tom to stay alone overnight.Parents must always remember there is no easy answer to this universal problem of lying. We can set a good example, allow for privacy, monitor friendship, develop trust and punish wrong doing, but still we discover our child has lied to us. Fi

42、nally that s why there is a need for trust on both sides of a parent-child relationship. Lying destroys closeness and friendship.

56、an economic contribution to the family: girls grow up only to marry into somebody elses family and bear children. Girls are thus seen as less valuable than boys and are kept at home to do housework while their brothers are sent to school - the prophecy (预言)becomes self-fulfilling, trapping women in

57、a vicious circle (恶性循环 )of neglect.An educated mother, on the other hand, has greater earning abilities outside the home and faces an entirely different set of choices. She is likely to have fewer but healthier children and can insist on the development of all her children, ensuring that her daughte

58、rs are given a fair chance. The education of her daughters then makes it much more likely that the next generation of girls, as well as of boys, will be educated and healthy. The vicious circle is thus transformed into a virtuous circle.Few will argue that educating women has great social benefits.
