Americans lived on farms, the typical family had many children. In a farm family, parents and their children
often lived with grandparents. Often too, uncles and aunts lived nearby. But when industry became more
important than agriculture in American life, families became smaller because industry requires workers who are
ready and able to move off the land and to move again whenever necessary. And large families cannot be moved
from place to place as smaller families can. So, at present people tend to have smaller families.
In the future, because of industrialization, a typical family will be required to move even more often than
now, so families will be even smaller. The typical family may remain childless and consist only of a man and a
woman. A small number of families may take raising children as their chief work. At the same time they may
also raise other people"s children, leaving those families free to move from job to job.
B. Influence of science and industry on American families.
C. Harmful effect of industrialization.
D. Social problems resulting from the highly developed science and industry in America.
They are afraid of their parents. But sometimes they do not do what their parents tell them to do. When this
happens, a parent tries to help the child to do the right thing. When this does not work, the parent usually
punishes the child.
There are many things that a parent can do. One thing that people have done is to spank (打屁股) the
child. When a parent spanks a child, he will use his hand or something hard to strike the child on the bottom.
The parents want to show their children that they have done something wrong.
One problem with spanking is that it teaches the child to hit someone when they do not like what the
other person is doing. Another problem with spanking is that the parent is usually angry and can hit the child
too hard. Sometimes parents will use spanking for everything and not try other ways to get the child to do the
right thing.
Many parents are not sure of what to do instead of spanking. Some people think that spanking is okay.
Some think that the law lets them do it. The courts (法院) say that parents have the right to teach their children
how to behave.
Other things should be tried before a parent decides to spank a child. Taking a more child-friendly way
can help as well. Giving a child more than one choice is another thing that can be tried.

allowed to carry mobile phones during school hours.
Mobile phone used among children has become a problem for the school years. Several children have
got mobile phones as Christmas presents, and more students will want them. Marry Brown, a headmaster, said
that mobile phone was a distraction (分心事) to students during school hours and it also gave teachers so much
trouble in their classrooms. Teachers were also saying that sometimes students might use phone messages to
cheat during exams.
She said some schools had tried to ban (禁止) mobile phones. Some parents felt unhappy because they
couldn"t get in touch with their children. Many teachers said students should not have mobile phones at school.
But there was a good reason that they could leave their phones at school offices. They also said they were
easily lost and were a distraction for studies.
Many people say that they understand why parents would want their children to have phones, but they
think schools should let the students know when they can use their mobile phones.
