Coming home from school that dark winter day so long ago, I was filled with excitement of having the weekend off. But I was 　1 into stillness by what I saw. Mother was seated at the far end of the sofa, 　2 , with the second-hand green typewriter on the table. She told me that she couldn’t type fast and then she was out of work. My shock and embarrassment at finding mother in tears was a perfect proof of how 　3 I understood the pressures on her. Sitting beside her on the sofa, I began very 　4 to understand. “I guess we all have to 　5 sometimes,” Mother said quietly. I could 　6 her pain and the tension (緊張) of 　7 the strong feelings that were interrupted by my arrival. Suddenly, something inside me 　8 . I reached out and put my arms around her. She broke then. She put her face 　9 my shoulder and sobbed (啜泣). I held her 　10 and didn’t try to talk. I knew I was doing what I should, what I could 　11 it was enough. In that moment, feeling mother’s 　12 with feelings, I understood for the first time, she being so easy to 　13 . She was still my mother, 　14 she was something 　15 , a person having the ability of bearing fear, 　16 and failure. I could feel her pain as she must have felt mine on a thousand occasions when I sought 　17 in her arms.

A week later Mother took a job selling dry goods at half the salary the radio station 　18 . “It’s a job I can do, though,” she said simply. But the evening practice on the old green typewriter continued. I had a very 　19 feeling now when I passed her door at night and heard her tapping 　20 across the paper. I knew there was something more going on in there than a woman learning to type.

In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child's acquisition (學(xué)會(huì)) of each new skill m the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is often tempting 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 use a toilet 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 (嚴(yán)格的) over time of coming home at night or punctuality for meals. In general, the controls represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child'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 (道德). Also, parents should realize that "example is better than precept". If they are not sincere and do not practice what they preach (說(shuō)教), their children may grow confused when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled.

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

Eagerly watching the child’s acquisition of new skills, _________________.

  A. should be avoided

  B. is universal among parents

  C. sets up dangerous states of worry in the child

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 expect a lot of the children

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

  D. should create as many learning opportunities as possible

The second paragraph mainly tells us that _________________.

  A. parents should be strict with their children

  B. parental controls reflect only the values of the community

  C. parental restrictions vary, and are not always for the benefit of the children alone

  D. it’s parents’ and society’s duty to control the children

The word “precept” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_________________”.

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

In terms of moral matters, parents should _____________________.
