　　 When it comes to bringing up children, everybody agrees that it is not an easy task. Every parent watches eagerly the child’s acquisition (學會) of each new skill — the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is often tempting (吸引人的) to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to learn something too early. A young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.

Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters. Others are severe over the time of coming home at night or punctuality for meals. In general, the controls represent the needs of the parents and values of the community as much as the children’s own happiness.

As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality. Also, parents should realize that “example is better than precept”. If they are not sincere and do not practice what they preach (說教), their children may grow confused and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent cheated.

A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents’ principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.

53. Eagerly watching the child’s acquisition of new skills ___________.

A. is universal among parents　　　 B. should be avoided

C. sets up dangerous states of worry in the child

D. will make him lose interest in learning new things

54. In the process of children’s learning new skills, parents _____________.

A. should encourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words they read

B. should achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their own

C. should not expect too much of them

D. should create as many learning opportunities as possible

55. The underlined word “precept” in Paragraph 3 probably means __________.

A. idea　　　 B. instruction　　　　 C. behavior　　 D. punishment

56. In moral matters, parents should _______________.

A. consistently ensure the security of their children

B. be aware of the marked difference between adults and children

C. forbid things which have no foundation in morality

D. obey the rules themselves

請認真閱讀下列短文，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。

　　In Africa, listening is a guiding principle．It's a principle that's been lost in the constant chat of the Western world．From my own past experience, I noticed how much faster I had to answer a question during a TV interview．It's as if we have completely lost the ability to listen．We talk and talk, and we end up frightened by silence．

　　Everywhere, people on the African continent write and tell stories．Even the nomads(流浪者)who still live in the Kalahari Desert are said to tell one another stories on their daylong wanderings, during which they search for roots and animals to hunt．

　　A number of years ago I sat down on a stone bench outside the Teatro Avenida in Maputo, Mozambique, where I worked as an artistic consultant．It was a hot day, and we were taking a break, hoping that a cool gentle wind would move past．Two old African men were sitting on that bench, but there was room for me, too．In Africa people share more than just water．Even when it comes to shade, people are generous．

　　I heard the two men talking about a third old man who had recently died．One of them said, “I was visiting him at his home．He started to tell me an amazing story about something that had happened to him when he was young．But it was a long story．Night came, and I decided that I should come back the next day to hear the rest．But when I arrived, he was dead．”

　　The man fell silent．I decided not to leave that bench until I heard how the other man would respond to what he'd heard．Finally he, too, spoke．“That's not a good way to die-before you’ve told the end of your story．”

　　What separates us from animals is the fact that we are storytelling creatures and we can listen to other people's dreams, fears, joys, sorrows, desires and defeats-and they in turn can listen to ours．

　　Many people make the mistake of confusing information with knowledge．They are not the same thing．Knowledge involves the interpretation of information．Knowledge involves listening．

　　Many words will be written on the wind and the sand, or end up in store．But the storytelling will go on until the last human being stops listening．Then we can send the great record of human out into the endless universe．

　　Who knows? Maybe someone is out there, willing to listen…

(1)

actually lose the ability to listen

be certainly helped when in trouble

often hear the stories told by strangers

have no choice but to listen during a talk

information is hard to understand without interpretation

　　Without any hesitation, he said, “I'd be better off dead．” Hearing those words come out of my best friend's mouth tore my heart apart．He has repeated that phrase more than once, and my mind continually plays it over like a voice recording．

　　I met him about three years ago．After knowing me for six months, he told me about his struggles with depression．Sadness was not the only emotion that came over me; I was shocked．He seemed so outgoing and happy all the time．I soon learned that he was physically and emotionally abused as a young child, causing him to have suicidal thoughts．

　　He refuses to talk to others about his depression because he now distrusts adults, especially those in his family．Nevertheless, he feels as if I understand him and that I know the right words to speak．Therefore, when it comes to helping him, convenience is not in my vocabulary．It does not matter where I am or what I am doing, for he always comes first．

　　Many students at his school laugh at him when they notice scars on his arms from cutting．As he sees it, other kids have every right to make fun of him．But no one holds such a right, so I encourage him to ignore the heartless kids who treat him badly．When he feels the weight of judging eyes or hateful voices, I always remind him that I care about him unconditionally．Just hearing me say I will always be his best friend seems to give him the security he needs to keep on going．

　　My best friend once told me that if he had not had me, he would not be alive．He said that my encouraging words convinced him not to take his life．Our friendship has taught me that a single kind word can influence someone's life．With the fragility of life as it is, I believe in the necessity of encouragement．[來源：學科網(wǎng)]

A punctual person is in the habit of doing a thing at the proper time and is never late in keeping an appointment.

The unpunctual man, on one hand, never does what he has to do at the proper time. He is always in a hurry and in the end loses both time and his good name. A lost thing may be found again, but lost time can never be regained. Time is more valuable than material things. In fact, time is life itself. The unpunctual man is for ever wasting and mismanaging his most valuable asset (財產(chǎn)) as well as other’s. The unpunctual person is always complaining that he finds no time to answer letters, or return calls or keep appointments promptly. But the man who really has a great deal to do is very careful of his time and seldom complains of want of it. He knows that he can not get through his huge amount of work unless he faithfully keeps every piece of work when it has to be attended to.

Failure to be punctual in keeping one’s appointments is the sign of disrespect towards others. If a person is invited to dinner and arrives later than the appointed time, he keeps all the other guests waiting for him. Usually this will be regarded as a great disrespect to the host and all other guests present.

Unpunctuality, moreover, is very harmful when it comes to do one’s duty, whether public or private. Imagine how it would be if those who are put in charge of important tasks failed to be at their proper place at the appointed time. A man who is known to be habitually unpunctual is never trusted by his friends or fellow men.

What does the author think is the main difference between a punctual person and an unpunctual person?

A. A punctual person does everything ahead of time while an unpunctual person does everything behind schedule.

B. A punctual person does everything at the right time while an unpunctual person seldom does anything at the correct time.

C. A punctual person has a lot of appointments while an unpunctual person has few appointments.

D. A punctual person has much time to do everything while an unpunctual person has little time to do anything.

According to the passage, the main reason that a person is always unpunctual is that _______.

A. he has more work to do than other people

B. he is always in a hurry when he works

C. he doesn’t care much about time

D. he always mismanages and wastes his time

According to the third paragraph, when you are invited to dinner, you should arrive there _______.

A. after other guests have arrived

B. before all other guests

C. at the appointed time

D. after the host has got things ready

Which of the following statements best describes the harm of unpunctuality?

A. If you are an unpunctual person, you cannot be in charge of any important task.

B. If your friends know that you are unpunctual, they may not see you again.

C. Unpunctuality may bring about heavy losses for both public and private affairs.

D. Unpunctuality may make you miss a lot of appointments and lose friends.
