一、阅读理解


“
You
’
re trying to control my life,
”
says my nine- year-old son.
“
I don
’
t know
why you think you can do that, but you can
’
t.
”
I received this bit of information
after I asked Gabriele to put his dirty socks in the basket. And I get no sympathy
from my mother, who says,
“
You let him have his way from the beginning.
”

It
’
s true. I have always asked Gabriele
’
s opinion, found out how he felt
about things
–
treated him as my peer, not my child. And what have I got from
my troubles? A lot of back talk. At least I
’
m not alone; it
’
s a complaint heard
among parents across the country.
It
’
s not just that we
’
re confused by the contradictory advice offered in
parenting books. The fact is, in an effort to break away from how we were raised
–
to try something more liberal than our parents
’

“
do it because I say so
”

approach
–
our generation has gone too far.
“
Today
’
s parents want to be young,
so they try to be friends with their children,
”
says Kathy Lynn, a parenting
educator.
“
When it comes to discipline, our society has gone from one extreme to the
other,
”
says Ron Moorish, a behavior specialist.
“
We used to use the strap, to
intimidate. Then we had permissiveness, and now it
’
s about giving children
choices and allowing them to learn from their own experiences.
”

Real discipline, says Moorish, is about teaching.
“
By correcting our children
when they do something wrong, we teach them how to behave properly,
”
he
says. But this only works, he emphasizes, if parents regain their position of
authority. Children will always be children. The key is for parents to choose to
take the time to guide and teach their kids.
Rita Munday, a mother of four children, couldn
’
t believe the dramas that
played out in the children
’
s shoe store she operated. She often saw children
insist on having the high-priced, brand-name shoes. And even when the mother
didn
’
t want to spend the money, she would give in when the kid started acting
up and throwing shoes around.
Rhonda Radice, Munday
’
s younger colleague, is one parent who has
bucked the trend and is proud of it.
“
I don
’
t negotiate with them. You can
’
t. I
’
ve
seen parents come into the store and bribe their children to behave. You
shouldn
’
t have to buy love and respect.
”

B
为文章主题。

Throughout the colonial period there was a remarkable shortage of women,
which varied with the regions and was always greatest in the frontier areas. This
shortage enhanced
（提高）
women's status and position and allowed them to
pursue different careers. The puritans
（清教徒）
regarded idleness as a sin
（罪恶）
, and believed that life in an underdevelopment country made it
necessary that each member of the community performed an economic function.
Thus work for women was not only approved but also was regarded as a civic
（公民的）
duty. Puritan town councils expected widows and independent
women to be self-supporting. There was no social prohibition against married
women working; on the contrary, wives were expected to help their husbands in
their trade and won social approval for doing extra work in or out of the home.
The vast majority of women worked within their homes, where their labor
produced most articles needed for the family. The entire colonial production of
cloth and clothing and partly that of shoes was in the hands of women. In
addition to these occupations, women were found in many different kinds of
employment. They were butchers, silversmiths and gunsmiths. They ran mills,

plantations, shipyards, and every kind of shop. They were gatekeepers, jail
keepers, journalists, printers, nurses, and teachers.
