　　A篇

　　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.

　　?

　　46. Why did the writer give two different stories in this passage?

　　? A. To help prove his opinion about raising a child.

　　? 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.

　　47. What does the underlined word “postponed” in the third paragraph mean?

　　? A. Carried out at once.??? ???????????? B. Gave up.

　　? C. Put off.???????????????? ?????? D. Made a decision.

　　48. In the writer’s opinion, which of the following about raising a child is TRUE?

　　? A. Children should be respected once they were born.

　　? 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.
