Lots of parents feel they don’t have any ways to discipline their children---nothing seems to work. In fact, 30% parents say their discipline methods just don’t work.

      Angela Warren is one of those moms. Her daughter, Skai, seems immune to every method. They take away the toys, unplug （拔掉插頭） her TV and even take the TV away at times. They try their best to teach her a lesson. But it seems like nothing is working.

      In fact, the biggest problem is that, too often, parents give in to their children to stop their children from throwing a tantrum（耍性子）. Parents do it because it is easier . It is avoidable behavior, which means that they don’t want to cause problems, they don’t want the kids to go into a temper tantrum and they don’t want the night ruined. They just want things to be calm but they are teaching their children how to get results with that behavior.

      And over time, being afraid of temper tantrums means some kids will turn into spoiled children. So you are going to deal with a kid who doesn’t have a real good sense of themselves and they don’t have very good boundaries to work with. That means they are also not going to have a good sense of having boundaries with others.

      In order to avoid that future, parents should build discipline that is loving, consistent and firm. You can’t be friends with your kids if never set rules-----the kids are going to be very confused by that and will usually go against that rule. Parents should know that discipline “doesn’t mean punishment. Discipline means teaching ---you are their teacher. You are the most influential person in their lives.”

1. The second paragraph mentions Skai to______________

A．show that she is a bad student.

B．praise her for her special character

C．prove children are difficult to control now. 

D．show the situation of education is serious

2. The underline word “it”in paragraph3 refers to_______________

A．letting children escape blame         B．being angry with their children

3. What is the main idea of the fourth paragraph?_______

A．Bad effects of parents’ spoiling children. 

B．Children’s bad relationship with others.

C．Children’s behavior taught by parents.

D．Reasons why children are against rules.

　　Some inventions are so useful, but seem so simple, that we wonder why no one thought of them long ago. Post-it Notes—the pieces of pa per that you can fasten almost anywhere and then remove without leaving any sign that they were there—are an example of such an invention.

　　Post-it Notes were invented about twenty years ago by Art Fry, a scientist at 3M Corporation. The idea for the product came from a frustrating(令人沮喪的) experience he often had while singing in his church choir(唱詩班) . Fry used pieces of paper as bookmarks to mark the places in his book of songs, but these bookmarks were always falling out. He knew he needed a bookmark that would stay where he put it, but that he could remove without damaging the pages.

　　Around the time Fry lard about a new adhesive (粘合劑) that a (同事) , Dr. Spence Silver, had created. This adhesive was special because it was sticky, but not too sticky. It was strong enough to hold papers together, but weak enough not to tear the paper when it was removed. Fry saw that the new adhesive could help solve his bookmark problem. One morning, Fry put some of the adhesive on the edge of a piece of paper. Just as he hoped, it made a perfect bookmark.

　　Fry and some other people at 3M believed so much in the new product that they persuaded the company to give away thousands of the “sticky pieces of paper” for trial use. When some salespeople at 3M went to offices and showed workers just how helpful the new type of notes could be, they immediately received many orders. As more and more people discovered how useful Post-it Notes could be, the product took off.
