The job of raising children is a tough one. Children don’t come with an instruction handbook. And each child is different. So parents sometimes pull their hair out in frustration, not knowing what to do. But in raising children----as in all of life---what we do is influenced by our culture. Naturally then, American parents teach their children basic American values.

To Americans, the goal of parents is to help children stand on their own two feet. From infancy, each child may get his or her own room. As children grow, they gain more freedom to make their own choices. Teenagers choose their own forms of entertainment, as well as the friends to share them with. When they reach young adulthood, they choose their own careers and marriage partners. Of course, many young adults still seek their parents’ advice and approval for the choices they make. But once they “l(fā)eave the nest” at around 18 to 21 years old, they want to be on their own, not “tied to their mother's apron strings.”

The relationship between parents and children in America is very informal. American parents try to treat their children as individuals─ not as extensions of themselves. They allow them to fulfill their own dreams. Americans praise and encourage their children to give them the confidence to succeed. When children become adults, their relationship with their parents becomes more like a friendship among equals. But contrary to popular belief, most adult Americans don’t make their parents pay for room and board when they come to visit. Even as adults, they respect and honor their parents.

Most young couples with children struggle with the issue of childcare. Mothers have traditionally stayed home with their children. In recent years, though, a growing trend is to put preschoolers in a day care center so Mom can work. Many Americans have strong feelings about which type of arrangement is best. Some argue that attending a day care center can be a positive experience for children. Others insist that mothers are the best caregivers for children. A number of women are now leaving the workforce to become full-time homemakers.

Disciplining children is another area that American parents have different opinions about. Many parents feel that an old-fashioned spanking(一頓打) helps youngsters learn what “No!” means. Others prefer alternate forms of discipline. For example, “time outs” have become popular in recent years. Children in “time out” have to sit in a corner or by a wall. They can get up only when they are ready to act nicely. Older children and teenagers who break the rules may be grounded, or not allowed to go out with friends. Some of their privileges at home like TV or telephone use may also be taken away for a while. Although discipline isn't fun for parents or children, it’s a necessary part of training.

Being a parent is a tall order. It takes patience, love, wisdom, courage and a good sense of humor to raise children. Some people are just deciding not to have children at all, since they're not sure it's worth it. But raising children means training the next generation and preserving our culture. What could be worth more than that?

Europe loves bicycle

Cycling isn’t always easy. Busy streets, noisy horns, and inadequate bike lanes and parking areas can make it an uphill battle. But not even these difficulties can stop Europeans passion for cycling. According to BBC,bicycles outsold cars in 26 of the European Union’s 28 states last year.

In some European countries just like Denmark and the Netherlands, people really love bicycles.

But BBC reported that Spain is also embracing bicycling: for the first time on record, bicycles outsold cars in the country in 2012.

And it’s becoming a continent-wide phenomenon. “people ride to work and take their bikes to the grocery

store,” Bill Strickland, executive editor of Bicycling magazine, told Reuters.

So what has led to cycling’s growing popularity in Europe?

“Cycling is a safe, clean, healthy way to get around,” the Daily Star concluded. “it not only reduces traffic congestion and pollution, abut also contributes to public health.”

Bike-friendly policies have also contributed to the phenomenon.

Dozens of cities have joined a European Union initiative(倡議) to make bicycles on the par with (與......平分秋色) cars as a form of urban transport. Quite a few cities such as Stockholm, London, Florence and Munich now offer extensive networks of well-marked bike lanes.

Copenhagen take it as a step future by keeping bicycles and motor vehicles physically separate as much as possible. On these routes, stoplights are adjusted to the rhythms of bicycles, not cars. And the routs are lined with bicycle pump stations that are designed to the Daily Star.

For people living far from city centers, getting to work by bicycles alone may not be time-efficient. That’s why many European countries now allow cyclists to bring their bicycles onto subway trains.

Europeans are also creative in solving parking problems. The Daily Star reported that Amsterdam has come up with a high-tech solution: you lock your bike to a rack (架子), which then revolves underground. When you want your bike back, the rack rotates (旋轉) it back to the surface.

1.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?

A. In Denmark, all bike lanes are separated from motorized traffic.

B. In Copenhagen, cyclists are given priority (優(yōu)先) over drivers in many traffic situations.

C. Bicycles are not allowed to be taken onto subway trains in most European countries.

D. Amsterdam’s cycling network and underground parking system is the most advanced in the world.

2.The underlined word “embracing” in Para3 is closest in the meaning to _____.

A. getting worries about

B. taking little interest in

C. accepting gladly

D. including as a part of something larger

3.What’s the purpose of the underlined sentence?

A. It shows the popularity of bicycles.

B. It shows why people dislike bicycles.

C. It serves as an introduction of why Europeans like bicycles.

D. It serves as a warning of difficulty in riding a bicycle.

4.More and more Europeans prefer bicycles because ________.

A. They think cycling is a safe, clean, healthy, inexpensive way to get around.

B. Cars are usually caught in traffic jams.

C. Governments require them to do so.

D. It is convenient to park their bicycles.

Many years ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents’ home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register (收款臺), I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.

I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend’s. We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.

I wrote him and his wife a thank?you note for helping me. Soon afterward, I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.

Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I’d left the lights on all day, and the battery (電池) was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership—a shop selling cars—was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.

“Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?” I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment, so when I got home, I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you, and it meant a lot, he said.

“Thank you” — two powerful words. They’re easy to say and mean so much.

1. What happened when the author found smoke coming out of his car?

A．He had it pulled back to the gas station.

B．The couple sent him a business card.

C．The couple offered to help him.

D．He called his friend for help.

2.The battery of the author’s car was dead because ________.

A．something went wrong with the lights

B．the meeting lasted a whole day

C．he forgot to turn off the lights

D．he drove too long a distance

3.By telling his own experiences, the author tries to show ________.

A．how to write a thank?you letter

B．how to deal with car problems

C．the kind?heartedness of older people

D．the importance of expressing thanks
