Those two words best summarize the 40 between “old” child raising and new, post-1960s parenting. Then, the overall philosophy was that parents were not

It was the childs 44 , back then, to keep his or her parents from getting involved. That was 45 children lea
9、rned to be responsible and determined. Todays parents help their kids with almost everything. These are parents who are 46 when it comes to an understanding of their purpose in their kids,lives. Their involvement leads them to personalize everything that happens to their kids; 47, the defensiveness.

43、 high school, I 36 knew I wanted to pursue writing as a career.Writing had basically 37 me when I was only 7 years old, 38 since that time, Id been bombarded by guidance counselors and career planners who all 39 me to have “a back-up plan” in case writing didnt work out.Id never even 40 a different
44、career path, so I was very 41 and worried. After much thought, I decided 42 would be my “back-up plan,” and I signed up for a class through my high school.This 43 that every morning, I would serve as a teachers helper for my favorite 6th grade teacher, Mr. Ralston. Morning after morning, I showed up
45、 in Mr. Ralstons classroom and 44 papers for him.Sometimes, I even 45 a lesson or two. It was fun, and the students seemed to like me, so I was surprised when it came time for my 46 . Mr. Ralston looked me right in the eyes and asked, “Do you really want to teach?”“Had I really been that 47 ?” I tho

If you want to be a writer, go for it! Pursue writing!”Mr. Ralstons 53 to follow my dreams was the little
48、 nudge I needed to help me push past my 54 of not making it as a writer and simply “Go for it!”Thats what an encouraging word will do when spoken in love in 55 season.

59、or and fun to the video17.The other morning on the subway I sat next to an attractive young blonde woman who was reading something on her iPad. She was very well-dressed, carrying a Prada bag with tastefully applied make-up indeed, she had an unmistakable air of wealth, material success and even aut
60、hority. I suspected she worked as a highly-paid Wall Street lawyer or stockbroker or something of that sort. So, I was curious to see what she was so focused on. The Wall Street Journal perhaps? The Economist? Quite the contrary; rather, she was concentrating on a romance novel. Then I realized that
61、 I have known many women who love romance novelssmart, attractive, successful, “liberated,” modem females who nonetheless find some kind of deep satisfaction and thrill from those hyper-romantic, artificial and extremely unrealistic tales of handsome, manly heroes falling in love with virginal women
62、, enduring a series of adventures, then no doubt having a happy ending. These romance stories are to literature what hot dogs are to fine food. Yet, the genre(体裁) remains enormously popular. Consider some of these surprising statistics from the good folks at the Romance Writers of America (RWA):*Mor
63、e than 9,000 romance titles were released last year, with sales of about $1.44 billion (more than triple the revenues generated by classic literary fiction).*More than 90 percent of the market are women (okay, thats not at all surprising).* Readers are typically women between the ages 30 and 54 who
64、are themselves involved in a romantic relationship (betraying the stereotype that only lonely women long for these tales of love and adventure).*Almost 40 percent of romance book consumers have an annual income of between $50,000 and $99,900 (placing them firmly in the middle class). I had thought t
65、hat romance novels accounted for a very small share of the literary market, so I was quite surprised that this part has such enormous popularity. But I must wonder why so many womenforty years after the womens liberation movement continue to indulge in the fanciful tales? Im not sure if it represent
66、s a kind of “rejection” of the womens liberation movement, but clearly something is missing in the lives of contemporary ladies. A romance author named Donna Hatch who focuses on the Regency period (early 19th century Britain) explained the appeal of such books this way: “Regency men were civilized
67、and treated women with courtesy. When a lady entered the room, gentlemen stood, doffed their hats, offered an arm, bowed, and a hundred other little things I wish men still did today. But they were also very athletic; they hunted, raced, boxed, rode horses. They were manly. Strong. Noble. Honorable.
68、 And that is why I love them!” Mrs. Hatch may have expressed the secret desires and attitudes of untold millions of her peers-that is, in the early 21st century, have women grown tired of the burdens and expectations that the “freedoms” they have gained give them? Is this a rejection of modem femini
69、sm? Do women long for days of old when men were masculine gentlemen and women were feminine and protected as precious treasures and regarded as possessions? Perhaps most women (even the ones who get lost in romance novels) do not want to go all the way back but it is obvious, .58. 【小题1】What is the f

Romance novels are an essential part of contemporary life.60. 【小题3】In the authors opinion, what is missing in the lives of contemporary women?A. Authority. B. Dignity. C. Liberty. D. Care.61. 【小题4

73、n a faded yellow shirt sat in a windowless room on a raised concrete form. The only source of heat came from somewhere beneath the plastic mattress and the rough blanket the blank-faced police woman had handed him after taking his thumb prints. He heard voices and metallic clang as the cell door swu
74、ng open. At the front desk a tired looking policeman handed the old man back his belongings, his worn-out cap and the Seiko watch that had stopped working the day his beloved Evelyn left. The policeman dramatically held the blue plastic bag at an arms length to the old man who took it and made sure
75、its contents were undamaged: the goat meat, palm oil, leaves and spices. He ignored the confused expression on the officers face and signed the document declaring he had been returned the possessions they had taken off him the night before. No one spoke to him as he walked slowly towards the exit. “
76、Mr. Easy-nwa?” He stopped and prayed to the God who now took care of Evelyn to please take him far away from this unhappy place of expressionless faces, clipped accents and people who did not even attempt to pronounce his name right. “Ezenwa,” He said and looked at a woman with tangerine lips, her n
77、ame tag said Jessica Harlow, Social Services. “A bit far from home”,she said as she drove fast and with confidence the way Evelyn used to. He wondered if she meant the 50 miles from Liverpool or the 50,000 miles from Enugu,a city in Nigeria. He did not bother replying as this woman had plenty to say
78、 about the weather, bad drivers, her daughters school play. At last she drew up outside the block of flats where he lived. “Got here in the end”,said she seriously, “Really Mr. Easy-nwa, if you keep getting lost, we will have to consider moving you into a home”. “No need, I was not lost,”he answered
79、. He carefully rolled up the sleeves of the oversize bomber jacket he wore and turned on the tap to wash his hands, relieved the pipes were not frozen. In a clean pan he placed the chopped pieces of goat meat. The herbs and spices that had taken him three months to track down, the uziza seeds had ta

88、 talking to it. Her first experiments began with Alex. Alex was a one-year-old African grey parrot and Irene taught him to produce the sounds of the English language. “I thought if he learned to communicate, I could ask him questions about how he sees the world.”At the time, most scientists didnt be
89、lieve animals had any thoughts. They thought animals were more like robots but didnt have the ability to think or feel. Of course, if you own a pet you probably disagree. But it is the job of a scientist to prove this and nowadays more scientists accept that animals can think for themselves. “Thats
90、why I started my studies with Alex,” Irene said, “Some people actually called me crazy for trying this.”Nowadays, we have more and more evidence that animals have all sorts of mental abilities.
