7．I recently ran into a friend I hadn't seen for a long while．Our conversation was lively and full of news from both sides．Before we parted she said，"You'll have to drop in sometime．"I immediately sensed that if I simply"dropped in"I would take my friend by surprise，and I would be discouraged by the image of her standing in her doorway，staring at me，and asking，"Oh，er…what brings you here？"
Whatever happened to the unannounced drop in visit？When I was growing up in the 1960s，it seemed that people-mostly relatives，but also friends-were always  popping in．My parents would put coffee on，and my mom would find something in the kitchen to serve along with it．Then the conversation would begin…The neighbor lady，a worrier，was unloading her sadness while my mom quietly listened．The Irish man next door had such an accent that I remember asking what language he spoke．My Polish relatives arrived in packs…But I never heard my parents say anything like"We weren't expecting you"or"This isn't a good time．"Dropin visitors had a certain right of way and became No.1．
What happened to such visits？Actually I know the answer．Times have changed．Everybody gets busy with work．There is no longer a stayathome mom keeping a pot of hot coffee or tea ready throughout the day for a surprise guest．Exploding malls and stores are now replacing homes as a central form of entertainment．
Just the other day a former student of mine showed up．"I'm sorry for the surprise visit，"my student began．"I just wanted to see if you still lived here．I'll only stay a minute．"
My response was immediate．"No，you won't，"I said．"Just come in，sit，have coffee，and we'll talk．"
I had nothing in the kitchen but we ordered pizza．And we had a lovely time．I have tried to keep the dropin tradition alive though it takes some effort．

2．I am a strong believer that if a child is raised with approval，he will learn to love himself and will be successful in his own way．
Several weeks ago，I was doing homework with my son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair to go over the math lines．I kept asking him to sit down，telling him that he would concentrate better．He sat but seconds later，as if he didn't even notice he was doing it，he got up again．I was getting frustrated，but then it hit me．I started noticing his answers were much quicker and accurate （準確的） when he stood up．Could he be more intent （專心的） while standing up？
This made me start questioning myself and what I had been raised to believe．I was raised to believe that a quiet，calm child was a sure way to success．This child would have the discipline （紀律） to study hard，get good grades and become someone important in life
Now those same people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of DNA and personality traits （特點） and all you can do is loving and accepting them．As parents，throughout their growing years and beyond that，we need to be our kids'best cheerleaders，guiding them and helping them find their way．
I have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate．Obviously，he is concentrating just in his own way and not mine．We need to learn to accept our kids'ways of doing things．Some way may have worked for me but doesn't mean we need to carry it through generations．There is nothing sweeter than being individual （個人的） and unique （獨一無二的）．It makes us free and happy and that's just the way I want my kids to live their own life．
63．At the beginning，the author tried to keep his son seated in order to make himA．
A．pay more attention to his study     
B．keep silent in the room
C．finish his homework on time    
D．get right answers

A．the importance of parents               
B．the old form of education       
C．the relationship between kids and their parents         
D．the good grades of some kids

A．We should help kids correct their wrong ways．
B．Parents should study their kids'DNA．
C．Kids should be taught to behave themselves．
D．Parents should love and accept their kids．
66．Which of the following would be the best title of the passage？C
A．Study hard and you'll be successful           
B．Be friendly to your children
