B.make people know that girls and boys should be treated differently.
C.find good solutions about how to study well in the school.
D.find good solutions about how to solve a family quarrel.
M: Well, although nine out of ten parents use smacking as a punishment, half of them feel guilty about using it. The other half do smack their children and think they are right. It seems most parents we talked to smack their children more than once a week and 5% actually smack their children every day.
W: The report suggests that parents should make more efforts to understand their children and that smacking isn't always the best solution if children are naughty.
M: Yes, parents should try harder to understand how their children feel when they react in certain ways. For example they might be jealous of a new baby brother or a sister or they might feel insecure. Any number of things might make the child react badly.
W: So in those kinds of situations it would be better not to smack children?
M: Yes, obviously because when a child's behaving badly, it needs love and attention, not anger and violence. I think parents should think really carefully before they smack their children.
W: Maybe parents should find an opportunity to communicate with their children.
M: That's right.

If parents bring up a child with the aim of turning the child into a genius (天才), they will cause great damage to him. According to several leading educational psychologists (心理学家), this is one of the biggest mistakes which some parents make. Generally, the child will understand very well what the parent expects. But unrealistic parental expectations can cause great damage to children.
However, if parents are not unrealistic- about what they expect their children to do, but are hope ful in a sensible way, the child may succeed in doing very well -- especially if the parents are very supportive of their child.
Michael Li is very lucky. He is very fond of music, and his parents help him a lot by taking him to concerts and arranging private piano and violin lessons for him. They even drive him 50 kilometers twice a week for violin lessons. Although Michael's mother knows very little about music, she supports her son. Michael's father plays the trumpet(小号) in a large orchestra(管弦乐队). However, he never makes Michael enter music competitions if he is unwilling.
Michael's friend, Winston Chen, however, is not so lucky. Although both his parents are successful musicians, they set too high a standard for Winston. They want their son to be as successful as they are and so they make him enter every piano competition. They are very unhappy when he doesn't win. "When I was your age, I used to win every competition ! entered. "Winston's father tells him. Winston is always afraid that he will disappoint his parents and now he always seems quiet and unhappy.
The main idea of the passage is ______.
A.how parents should make a child a musician
B.how parents should bring up a child
C.what differences there are between two kinds of parents
D.what aim of a child can be much easier to reach

听力原文:W: Are you going to find a job again this summer?
M: Yes, of course. Otherwise, how am I going to pay for the tuition fees in the fall?
W: I am thinking of working too, but my folks insist I have to spend some time with them during the summer. You know', I haven't seen them for two years.
M: That's considering you are only an eight-hour drive away from your hometown. Why haven't you been home for so long?
W: It's not that I didn't want to go home but because my parents were volunteering in the charitable organization in Central America for the last couple of years.
M: In that case, maybe you should visit them in the summer.
W: That's true, but I didn't want to spend the whole summer staying at home. I want to make some money and pay off my tuition fees too.
M: Well, you can get a loan.
W: Loan? I hate the idea of borrowing. I would rather make my own money and pay it off.
M: That's true. It's not uncommon for people to have high bills to pay once they've graduated.
W: Yes, that's exactly what I didn't want to get myself into.
M: Well, you can work part-time when you are at home.
W: I was thinking about that but my parents thought I should be at home with them full-time.
M: Well, I think you do have to make a decision.

Sport is not only physically challenging, but it can also be mentally challenging. Criticism from coaches, parents, and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create an excessive amount of anxiety or stress for young athletes(运动员). Stress can be physical emotional, or psychological, and research has indicated that it can lead to burnout. Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.
The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself. The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, make friends, and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware, at all times, that their feedback to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take their parents' and coaches' criticisms to heart and find a flaw(缺陷)in themselves.
Coaches and parents should also be cautious that youth sport participation does not become work for children. The outcome of the game should not be more important that the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In today's youth sport setting, young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game, many parents and coaches focus on the outcome and find fault with youngsters' performances. Positive reinforcement should be provided regardless of the outcome. Research indicated that positive reinforcement motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again, criticism can create high levels of stress, which can lead to burnout.
An effective way to prevent the burnout of young athletes is ______.
A. to make sports less competitive
B. to make sports more challenging
C. to reduce their mental stress
D. to increase their sense of success
听力原文: I met Susan at a dance about six months ago. We get along well together since we like music, dancing, swimming, and tennis. But whenever I start to get serious about our relationship and try to discuss with her how she feels about me and whether we might consider marriage, she gets angry and refuses to talk about it. Usually, she says something like: "I'm not the marrying kind" or "We're having too much fun to be serious." Besides all these, I don' t think that my parents like her very much. They think that she's not very intelligent.
Do you think I should continue to keep the relationship? Or should I forget her? We're both 22, but I'm ready to settle down and establish a home. I have a good job as a salesman, and by the time I' m 24, I hope to have saved enough money to start my own business.
