15．閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容寫一篇60詞左右的內(nèi)容概要．
Punishing children is a controversial topic．Everybody has different opinions about how to act to correct a child's behavior．Parents，teachers，doctors and specialists such as psychologists，have disagreements about whether it is good for a child's education to punish him or her．
The word"punish"means different things to different people．Punishment can be physical or emotional．Physical punishment is when the parent hits，slaps or spanks the child．
On the other hand，emotional punishment is when the parent，in order to educate the child，doesn't let him or her watch TV，go to play with his or her friends，or do things like that．The parent doesn't teach him or her，but still he or she punishes the child．
Although many surveys and studies have been made about what the correct way is to raise a child，nobody has the answer or the truth．I think it will be very difficult to find the answer or get people to agree．
I think the parents should love their child and give him or her the best education，but at the same time，they should punish the child if he or she deserves it．I think if you love your child，you should be rational when you apply the punishment．It should be reasonable but strict．
The parents'goal is to have in the future a good man or woman in society，so sometimes you should do what is necessary to get your child to behave well．

14．How to choose appropriate books for English beginners
It is a conventional wisdom that in order to have a good command of English，the most effective way is to read English books widely．（36）F I would like to share some of my experience．
Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice was my first English novel．It is recommended by many English teachers and professors as an ideal book for English learners．（37）AI had great difficulty in understanding the novel，let alone enjoying it．It's not the vocabulary that troubled me，but rather the way Austen constructs sentences，and her way of thinking，which seemed too remote to me at that time．
My fading enthusiasm was much recovered after reading Hemingway's novel Farewell to Arms．No long and complicated sentences．And I particularly liked his concise and straightforward style．（38）G I do not mean to exclude（排除） classical novels for ever．Actually，the second reading of Pride and Prejudice greatly pleased me（probably the result of my improved English comprehension）．It is only that classical novels are less accessible to beginners due to their language styles and social background．
（39）E In fact，if you limit yourself to novels you will miss a lot of treasures．English essays can at once inform you，entertain you，and improve your taste in English．Here comes my second suggestion-essays are necessary．
My last advice is never to follow others'recommendations and opinions blindly．We should be open to various ideas，but always think and determine for ourselves．（40）CWith that in mind，we are bound to find out our favorite writers through reading and develop our fine taste in English．

A．But my experience was somewhat disastrous．
B．So one must read as many books as possible．
C．As a saying goes，one man's meat is another man's poison．
D．Anyway，novels are not good material for English learning．
E．However，reading novels is not the only way to improve your English．
F．Yet one may be at a loss to choose the appropriate books，especially as a beginner．
G．So as a beginner，you'd better choose contemporary novels instead of classical ones．

13．A little girl whose parents had died lived with her grandmother and slept in an upstairs bedroom．
One night there was a fire in the house and the grandmother died while trying to rescue the child．The fire spread quickly，and the situation was terrible．
Neighbors called the fire department，then stood helplessly by，unable to enter the house because flames blocked all the entrances．The little girl appeared at an upstairs window，crying for help，just as word spread among the crowd that the firefighters would be delayed a few minutes because they were all at another fire．
Suddenly，a man appeared with a ladder，put it up against the side of the house and disappeared inside．When he reappeared，he had the little girl in his arms．He delivered the child to the waiting arms below，then disappeared into the night．
An investigation revealed that the child had no living relatives，and weeks later a meeting was held in the town hall to determine who would take the child into their home and bring her up．
A teacher said she would like to raise the child．She pointed out that she could ensure her a good education．A farmer offered her an upbringing（教養(yǎng)） on his farm．He pointed out that living on a farm was healthy and satisfying．Others spoke，giving their reasons why it was to the child's advantage to live with them．
Finally，the town's richest resident rose and said，"I can give this child all the advantages that you have mentioned here，plus money and everything that money can buy．"
Throughout all this，the child remained silent，her eyes on the floor．
"Does anyone else want to speak？"asked the meeting chairman．A man came forward from the back of the hall．He walked slowly and appeared to be in pain．

Paragraph 1：
When he got to the front of the room，he stood directly in front of the little girl and held out his arms．His hands and arms were terribly scarred．The little girl cried out，"This is the man who rescued me!"With a leap，she threw her arms around the man's neck．She buried her face in his shoulder and sobbed for a few moments．Then she looked up and smiled，stating happily she would live with him．
Paragraph 2：
When asked about her choice，the girl gave people the reasons firmly．She said in a low but determined voice，"I really desire to get a good education that will give me chances to live my dreams．Besides，I know that money means a lot to me since I have no relatives to rely on．But it's the man who saved my life when I was desperately facing a fire like that．Without him，I wouldn't be here，waiting for a new choice．I hope that I can do whatever I can to pay back his kindness．
