【正文】 on cropsC. the forceful promotion by the Department of AgricultureD. full support from agricultural expertsPassage 9 （P15）In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child’s acquisition（學(xué)會）of each new skill— 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 over times of ing home at night or punctuality for meals. In general, the controls imposed represent the needs of the parents and the values of the munity 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 fooled. A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents’ principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.1.

It is remarkable first for what it contains: the range of news from local crime to international politics, from sports to business to fashion to science, and the range of ment and special features（特寫）as well, from editorial page to feature articles and interviews to criticism of books, art, theatre, and music. A newspaper is even more remarkable for the way one reads it: never pletely, never straight through, but always by jumping from here to there, in and out, glancing at one piece, reading another article all the way through, reading just a few paragraphs of the next. A good modern newspaper offers a variety to attract many different readers, but far more than any one reader is interested in. what brings this variety together in one place is its topicality（時事性）, its immediate relation to what is happening in your world and your locality now. but immediacy and the speed of production that goes with it mean also that much of what appears in a newspaper has no more than transient（短暫的）value. For all these reasons, no two people really read the same paper: what each person does is to put together, out of the papers of that day’s paper, his own selection and sequence, his own newspaper. For all these reasons, reading newspapers efficiently, which means getting what you want from them without missing things you need but without wasting time, demands skill and selfawareness as you modify and apply the techniques of reading.1.
