2、adult child,but at what point do they become overly protective？ Parents want to create a safe haven,a place where they know that nothing bad will happen to their beloved child.This seems to be a respectable and notable act in caring for a person with a disability,but it can have a side effect.When p
3、rotecting their child from suspected hardships,not wanting anything bad to happen to them,they very well may be preventing good things from happening to them. In life we all make mistakes,it is how we are able to grow and strengthen our character.Parents may feel that in certain instances their chil
4、d will get hurt or mistreated in some way,so they build walls in their own minds convincing themselves of the need to shelter.However,the disabled,yes even the severely disabled deserve to make personal mistakes as well.Even more,they have the right to succeed. Parents should do everything and anyth
5、ing within their power to see their disabled children lead a somewhat normal life.Parents should help their children,not hold them down.This could make them think they are unworthy and that their parents do not believe in them. Whatever it may be,let them at least try.If they want to attend college,
6、so be it.Parents should find out all they can,and be involved in every detail.Get to know the aides,experience it with them.If they want to dare and someday marry,so be it.Dont shut them out and form bad or critical opinions about them just because you are afraid.Unite as a family and make it work.1

10、t? Many Americans experience this royal treatment every day. How? By being customers. The American idea of customer service is to make each customer the center of attention. Need proof? Just listen to the commercials. Most of them sound like the McDonalds ad“We do it all for you.”Actually, not all s
11、tores in America roll out the red carpet for their customers. But wherever you go, good customer service means making customers feel special. People going shopping in America can expect to be treated with respect from the very beginning. Most places dont have a“furniture street”or a“computer road”wh
12、ich allow you to compare prices easily. Instead, people often“let their fingers do the walking”through the store hot lines. From the first“hello”, customers receive a satisfying response to their questions. This initial contact can help them decide where to shop. When customers get to the store, the
13、y are treated as honored guests. Customers dont usually find store clerks sitting around watching TV or playing cards. Instead, the clerks greet them warmly and offer to help them find what they want. In most stores, the clear signs that label each department make shopping a breeze. Customers usuall
14、y dont have to ask how much items cost, since prices are clearly marked. And unless theyre at a flea market or a yard sale, they dont bother trying to bargain. When customers are ready to check out, they find the nearest and shortest checkout lane. But as Murphys Law would have it, whichever lane th
15、ey get in, all the other lanes will move faster. Good stores open new checkout lanes when the lanes get too long. Some even offer express lanes for customers with 10 items or less. After they pay for their purchases, customers receive a smile and a warm“thank you”from the clerk. Many stores even all
16、ow customers to take their shopping carts out to the parking lot. That way, they dont have to carry heavy bags out to the car.5. By quoting (引用) the McDonalds ad“We do it all for you”, the author intends to_.A. suggest that customers believe what commercials say deeplyB. show readers the American id
17、ea on good customer serviceC. express all the stores pay much attention to the customersD. persuade readers to choose the stores with ads correctly6.

20、ice in AmericaB. Excellent Stores in AmericaC. Shopping Rules in AmericaD. Being King or Queen in AmericaC It seems that many parents have a lot to learn about what their children are doing online. According to a recent survey by the Symantec Corporation, which makes many kinds of security software
21、for home and business computers, theres a“significant digital（数字的）divide between parents and their kids.” Parents of children under the age of 18 were asked to estimate（估计）how much time their kids spent online each week. The parents said about three hours a week on average. The kids ages 8 to 17 who
22、 took the survey said theyre spending an average of seven hours online each week. “I really think thats due to the time they spend on their mobile phones and computers, when their parents dont even know theyre online,”says Symantecs Bill Rosenkrantz. Remember, cell phones, PDAs and video game machin
23、es all make it possible to access the Internet. You dont have to sit in front of a computer screen.And what are the kids doing on the Web? “Theyre doing things like downloading music, theyre going to social networking sites, theyre actually shopping online when parents dont think theyre doing those
24、kinds of activities,”says Rosenkrantz.“Theyre also, we think, doing some things with research papers and other kinds of activities with homework maybe where theyre getting content online and they really shouldnt be.”Nearly a quarter of the kids (23 percent) admit to doing things their parents would
25、not approve. So how does a modern parent deal with this type of situation?“The first thing we strongly recommend is that parents spend time with their children online,”Rosenkrantz says.“Sit down with them and understand what theyre doing. Secondly, have a dialog about it. Have a dialog about whats a
26、n acceptable activity, whats an unacceptable activity, and set some ground rules time online, things you can and cant do. Really have those conversations. Thats the most important.”There are a lot of bad people on the Internet. Thats why its so important for parents to know what their kids are doing

30、e.D. To give reasons for kids Internet addiction.DFor the last couple of weeks, I had been stuck in front of my computer working on a project that was very important to me. My every waking hour was consumed by the project and although I imagined that I would feel happy after completing parts of the
31、project, I was confused to find that instead, I was feeling rather depressed. I tried a range of methods to help cheer myself up. I had a relaxing bath, cooked a delicious meal to enjoy with my family and even watched a lighthearted movie, but to no avail. It was only when I turned to think for a so
32、lution that the answer came to me: turn to nature!The very next day, I grabbed my camera and a bottle of water and set off to spend a few hours walking in a nature reserve, even though it was pouring with rain. Within a couple of minutes I felt alive again. To be honest, I felt like a young school g
33、irl again and had to stop myself from hopping along the path singing, Im singing in the rain, a song I used to sing when I was a child. I think as adults we often try too hard to control our inner children and as a result we limit our own spirits, which only leads to depression and stress.Interestin
34、gly, it has been shown that people who spend 40 minutes walking in a nature reserve have a drop in their blood pressure levels, but this does not happen when they spend a similar amount of time walking in a busy city center.If you feel a little low in spirit and know that you have spent too much tim
