Parents often say,"I don"t understand why my child is acting this way.We"ve given him everything in
the world,and he just wants more.He"s never happy.He doesn"t enjoy what he has."
For some reason,we often feel that if we give our child everything he wants to keep him happy,he
should behave the way we want him to.An important part of meeting children"s emotional(情感的)needs
is to set limits often and firmly in a loveing way.Pardnts who learn to set limits in a loving way set them
more often because they don"t have to wait until they"ve "had it up to here" to do so.
A therapeutic(治疗的)way of setting limits is called ACT:Acknowledge the feeling,communicate the
limit,and target the choice.Necessarily,you"re saying to the child,"I understand how you feel.It"s OK to
feel that way,but you can"t act that way when you feel like that.You can act this way when you feel like
that." It"s also important to communicate this message in a loving way,not an angry way.
Using ACT limitsetting teaches children to cope with their emotions and to find appropriate behavioral
expressions that don"t hurt the children themselves.It can also be used to teach children to delay
gratification(满意)．Here are some examples of how it works.If your child wants a toy when you"re at
the store and you don"t want to buy it,you can say,(A)"You love that toy and want it right now,(C)but
we"re not spending any money on toys today.(T)You can put it on your wish list for birthday or Christmas."
Using this technique,you"ll learn to set reasonable limits that work.If you set limits too severely,you"re
also more likely to give in,because you feel guilty.If you don"t follow through with a consequence or you
make one that"s too severe,you teach your child not to trust you.

举一反三
but, like the weather, no one seems to do anything about it. In particular, traffic engineers, transportation
planners, and public officials responsible for transportation systems in large cities are frequently criticized
for failing to solve traffic jam.
But is traffic jam a sign of failure? Long queues at restaurants or theater box offices are seen as signs
of success. Should transportation systems be viewed any differently? I think we should recognize that
traffic jam is an unpreventable byproduct of successful cities, and view the "traffic problem" in a different
light.
Cities exist because they promote social interactions and economic transactions.
Traffic jam occurs where there are lots of people but limited spaces. Culturally and economically
successful cities have the worst traffic problems, while decaying cities don"t have much traffic. New
York and Los Angeles are America"s most crowded cities. But if you want access to major brokerage
houses (经纪行), you will find them easier to reach in crowded New York than in any other large cities.
And if your firm needs access to postproduction film editors or satelliteguidance engineers, you will reach
them more quickly through the crowded freeways of LA than through less crowded roads elsewhere.
Despite traffic jam, a larger number and wider variety of social interactions and economic transactions
can be made perfect in large, crowded cities than elsewhere. Seen in this light, traffic jam is an unfortunate consequence of prosperity, not a cause of economic decline and urban decay.
So while we can consider traffic jam as increasing costs on the areas of big cities, the costs of
inaccessibility (交通不便) in uncrowded places are almost certainly greater.
There is no doubt that traffic jam brings the terrible economic and environmental damage in places
like Bangkok, Jakarta, and Lagos. But mobility is far higher and traffic jam levels are far lower here in
the US, even in our most crowded cities. That"s why, for now, we don"t see people and capital streaming
out of San Francisco and Chicago, heading for cities like California, and Illinois.
B. traffic jam seems to be very difficult to deal with
C. if traffic engineers try their best, traffic jam can be solved
D. public officials are always criticized for misusing their power
B. Traffic jam is both a sign of failure and a sign of success.
C. Traffic jam is the consequence of successful cities.
D. For a successful city, traffic jam is not unpreventable.
B. developing
C. rich and successful
D. strong and healthy
B. New York and Los Angeles are the most successful cities in the USA.
C. It is easier to reach major brokerage houses in the two cities than in other cities.
D. Despite the traffic jam in LA, you"ll find a satelliteguidance engineer more quickly there.
B. The traffic jam in San Francisco has resulted in the capital becoming empty.
C. The traffic jam level in Jakarta is lower than that in the US.
D. Traffic jam has caused terrible bad effects in cities such as Bangkok and Lagos.
ruining their life plans,I couldn"t help but think the 20somethings sounded like a bunch of spoiled children
who grew up expecting everything to be easy for them.As a 20something myself,I certainly share their
disappointment:My husband and I probably won"t be able to buy a house until we"re in our 40s,and we
too are burdened by student loans (贷款)．But why should it be any different? Being young persons in
America,shouldn"t they take up all of the challenges and opportunities that this country offers?
Consider some of these views shared in the Slate story: Jennifer,29,owner of a twobedroom apartment
with her husband,worries that she won"t be able to have children for at least a decade because they can"t
afford to buy a house yet.
I read that,and I thought,what planet is she living on where you need to own a house in order to have
kids? Has she ever visited a developing country,or even downtown areas in this one? Home ownership is
a luxury (奢侈品),not a fertility requirement.
A 26yearold in the story despairs (绝望) that he can"t afford to get a Ph.D.in literature.Well,that sounds
a bit like expressing disappointment that no one will pay you to write poetry on the beach in Thailand for
five years.
Yes,it"s sad that these young people feel so lost.But I think the problem is their extremely high
expectations,not economic reality.Beth Kobliner,author of Get a Financial Life:Personal Finance in Your
Twenties and Thirties,says that she thinks people"s expectations are slowly adjusting,but today"s 20
somethings grew up at a time when everyone"s wealth appeared to be expanding.Their parents probably
saw their home values rise along with their investments."So you have people who have grown up in an
environment where people had great expectations of what living well means," says Kobliner.
This recession (衰退) will certainly play a role in forcing those expectations into more realistic group.
In the meantime,it seems a lot better for our mental health to focus on being grateful-for our onebedroom
apartments,for living in modern cities,or perhaps just for being able to eat three meals a day-than on
longing for some kind of luxury life.
B.They complain that the economy is spoiling their life plans.
C.They are reluctant to face all of the challenges.
D.They are burdened by student loans.
B.pleasant
C.baby comfort
D.essential
B.They have only onebedroom apartment to live in.
C.They can"t buy a house until 40 because of student loans.
D.They despair at not being able to afford a Ph.D.in literature.
B.Negative.
C.Unbelieving.
D.Understanding.
B.Why Young People Can"t Afford to Buy a House
C.When Young People"s High Hopes Create Despair
D.What the 20somethings" High Expectations Are

used in lots of everyday life. It is thought that we won"t have to go shopping because we will be able to get most things which are sold in shops on the Internet. There will be no more books because we will be able
to get all texts from
computers. The Internet will be used to play games, see films and buy food. Mosttelephone calls will be made by computers,
too.Some people are glad about these new ways of shopping and communicating. Others do not think that computers will replace our old ways.
Let"s look at books, for example. Some people think that one day we will not read books made of
paper. Instead, we will buy and read books using computers. We will read texts on small pocket
computers. The computers will keep many different books in them at the same time. We won"t need to turn lots of pages and paper will be saved. Computerized(计算机化) books will be used more and more.
Is Internet shopping such a pleasure as going to the shop? Many people say it is not. It is a pleasure to go into shops and look at things you want to buy. It is also unlikely that many people will want to read
large texts on our computers. Because paper books will perhaps be more friendly. Maybe computers
won"t change these two habits.
A. playing games, shopping a
nd making telephone callsB. making telephone calls, having meals and seeing films
C. seeing films, buying food, and going for holidays
D. playing games, making telephone calls and seeing the doctor
2. Which reason for using computerized books is NOT said in the passage?
A. Computerized books won"t be very expensive.
B. Computers can keep many different books in them.
C. We won"t have lots of pages.
D. We won"t need any paper.
3. The title for this passage is _______.
A. Computers will Replace Shops and Books
B. Computers will be Used in the Future
C. Computers will Do Everything for Man
D. How Computers Change Our Habits
the culture.American cities are changing, just as American society is changing.
After World War ?, the population of most large American cities decreased; however, the population
in many Sun Belt cities increased.Los Angeles and Houston are cities where population shifts(转移)to and
from the city reflects the changing values of American society.In the late 1940s and early 1950s,city
residents(居民)became wealthier.They had more children so they needed more space.They moved out of
their apartments in the city to buy their own homes.They bought houses in the suburbs(郊区)．
Now things are changing.The children of the people who left the cities in the 1950s are now adults.
Many, unlike their parents, want to live in the cities.They continue to move to Sun Belt cities and older
ones of the Northeast and Midwest.Many young professionals are movi
ng back into the city.They prefer the city to the suburbs because their jobs are there; or they just enjoy the excitement and possibilities that
the city offers.
This population shift
is bringing problems as well as benefits.Countless poor people must leave their apartments in the city because the owners want to sell the buildings or mak
e apartments for sale instead offor rent.In the 1950s, many poor people did not have enough money to move to the suburbs; now many of
these same people do not have enough money to stay in the cities.
Only a few years ago, people thought that the older American cities were dying.Some city residents
now see a bright, new future.Others see only problems and conflicts.One thing is sure:many dying cities
are alive again.
B．They are hopeless.
C．They are similar.
D．They are different.
B．Because they were richer and needed more space.
C．Because cities contained the worst parts of society.
D．Because they could hardly afford to live in the city.
B．are forced to move to the suburbs
C．want to sell their buildings
D．need more money for daily expenses
B．people have different views on American cities
C．many people are now moving from American cities
D．the population is decreasing in older American cities
