its own. If you want to achieve something _ 5 intend to fulfill one of your ambitious, you must

Maurice Sendak"s children"s book, Where the Wild Things Are, published in 1963, has become
very successful throughout the years and was made into a movie earlier this year.
The book"s main character is a boy named Max who gets into trouble with his mother and is sent
to bed without any supper. Before long, Max"s room magically becomes a forest, and he sails away to
a land where monsters live. Max isn"t scared, though, and becomes king of the wild things, but after a
while, he begins feeling homesick. Max sails back home and his supper is still hot when he arrives in
his bedroom.
Many teachers and professors like this story and use it to help children develop creativity and
imagination. Melina Davis, an education professor, said she likes how the book contains a couple
of pages that have only pictures on them. "This allows children to shape the story themselves," she
said.
The book contains a few of larger words that some parents worry may confuse children, but
experts say those words help improve children"s reading skills and challenge them.
Davis said the book is well written which helps kids get involved in the story. "The book talks
about what all children go through, like "I was naughty but my mommy still loves me"," Davis said.
The book also encourages children to face their fears. "I think it"s really good to show that Max
makes friends with the monsters," Davis said. "Kids can find out monsters aren"t always the thing
under the bed that"s going to scare them. I think this is good because it shows that the children can
go to scary places but still have a positive experience."
Since the book has been successful throughout the years, a movie was recently made and many
people are excited to see it. Davis said she thinks the movie will be wonderful but it might be a little
scary for younger children. "You don"t want bad dreams over a book that"s extremely wonderful,"
Davis said.

early. You say you want to see that new film while they say you can"t see it. You say you"ve met
some nice kids and you"d like to go out with them, but they say they"d like to see your friends first.
When you"re a teenager, it seems that every time you say "I want to", they will certainly answer "No,
you can"t." Also, no part of your life is safe from the "prying eyes" of your parents. 15-year-old Debbie
says, "My dad always wants to know where I am, what time I"m going to be home. Most parents do
that. Do they have to know everything? 1 "
2 When something goes wrong, most parents just don"t believe in their children. Without asking
why, they think their kids are wrong. And not many parents would allow their kids to choose for
themselves.
3 But remember that not too long ago you were really a child. Your parents still remember
the childish mistakes you used to make. They want to protect you though you do not want them to
do so. And when something seems to threaten your well-being, they worry.
So, if you want to get more freedom, please try to understand your parents and do not just lie.
4 If you want them to allow you to stay out late, don"t just say, "All the other kids can stay out late.
" Tell them as much as you can about what you want to do and where you"ll be and why it"s important
for you to stay out later ..., they might just say yes.
B. No one likes being troubled.
C. They should give us more freedom.
D. Try a more friendly way.
E. Young people further complain that their parents do not respect them.
A few days ago, my car was not running well. I pulled it into a garage and the young mechanic had
it fixed in just a few minutes. He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine. I was
amazed. The sad truth is, great talent is not enough.
I am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn. I heard the other day that less than
5 percent of Americans earn more than $100, 000 a year. A business consultant who specializes
in the medical trade was telling me how many doctors and dentists struggle financially. It was this
business consultant who gave me the phrase, "They are one skill away from great wealth."
There is an old saying that goes, "Job means" just over broke (***)" ". And unfortunately, I
would say that the saying applies to millions of people. Because school does not think financial
intelligence is intelligence, most workers" live within their means". They work and they pay the bills.
Instead I recommend to young people to seek work for what they will learn, more than what they
will earn.
When I ask the classes I teach, "How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonald"s?
" almost all the students raise their hands. I then ask, "So if most of you can cook a better hamburger,
how come McDonald"s makes more money than you?" The answer is obvious: McDonald"s is
excellent at business systems. The reason so many talented people are poor is because they focus
on bui1ding a better hamburger and know little or nothing about business systems. The world is filled
with talented poor people. They focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather
than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger.
B. he is ready to help others
C. he has a sharp sense of hearing
D. he knows little about car repairing
B. do in their own way
C. live in their own circle
D. live within what they earn
B. They lack financial intelligence.
C. They don"t make full use of their talents.
D. They have no specialized skills.
B. good business systems
C. talented workers
D. excellent service
B. what schools should teach students
C. why so many talented people are poor
D. how McDonald"s makes much money
Honestly, since my daughter was born, I have thought a lot about how to raise a child. I once
heard a story that told about when a baby was born. The story said that when a baby was born,
a new master was born. The parents of that baby would become the servants. The question is:
Why? Based on my observation, this phenomenon is true. Most parents who don"t pay much
attention to their kids have difficulties with their kids" attitude.
I"ll make a comparison of how two families raise their children. The first one is a family with
three children. Both mother and father never say "No" to their children"s demands. As a result,
all of their children became stubborn and won"t listen to their parents" words, "We can"t."
The second family educated their children strictly from one year old to high school. The parents
never approved or agreed directly to give their children what they wanted. They always postponed
one or two days, even if they could afford it. Due to the way their parents educated them, these
children understood that if they wanted something, they had to wait or they had to make an effort first.
As a result, all the kids from the second family successfully graduated from university on time.
In my opinion, if we want to be successful parents and raise our children well, we have to start
disciplining them when they are toddlers but not wait until they become teenagers.
B. To list different ways that parents may take.
C. To criticize some parents" foolish action.
D. To prove that his way of education is right.
B. Gave up.
C. Put off.
D. Made a decision.
B. Parents should educate their children as early as possible.
C. It is right time to educate their children when they are teenagers.
D. Children should be helped whenever they make mistakes.
