It all started after his father decided that there was no longer enough room in East Texas for his family.“Pack up!” he cried. “

27、Neighbors are moving in fifty miles away! Its getting too crowded!”So they loaded up a wagon（四轮马车）with all their things. Some say the family had fifteen children while others say eighteen. However many there were, the children were louder than thunder. And as they set off across the wild country of

28、West Texas, their mother and father could hardly hear a thing.As they came to the Pecos River, the wagon hit a big rock. The force threw Bill out of the wagon and he landed on the sandy ground. Mother did not know Bill was gone until she gathered around the children for the midday meal. Mother set o

29、ff with some of the children to look for Bill, but they could find no sign of him.Some people say Bill was just a baby when his family lost him and others say he was four years old. But all agree that a group of animals called coyotes（丛林狼）found Bill and raised him. Bill did all the things those anim

30、als did, like chasing other small animals and howling at midnight. He became as good a coyote as any.Bill spent seventeen years living like a coyote until one day a cowboy took one look at Bill and asked, “Who are you?”Bill was not used to human language. At first, he could not say anything. The cow

31、boy repeated his question. Finally Bill said, “Coyote”.“No, you arent,” said the cowboy.“Yes, I am,” said Bill. “I have fleas（跳蚤）.”“Lots of people have fleas,” said the cowboy. “You dont have a tail.”“Yes, I do,” said Bill.“Show it to me then,” the cowboy said.Bill looked at his backside and realize

He said goodbye to his coyote friends and left to join the world of humans.Pecos Bill was a good cowboy. He developed the art of being a cow

33、boy. He invented the skill of throwing a special rope over a cows head to catch wandering cattle.

36、s. BWhile young adults have no worries and are full of hope for the future and the over-50s have come to terms with(迁就顺从)the trials of life, research indicates that those in the middle feel weighed down by the pressures they face.Mr Van Landeghem presented his research at the Royal Economic Society

37、annual conference. He warned, “While happiness does return with age, older people cant actually recapture(重新获得)the spirit of their youth. They simply learn to be satisfied with their situations in life. Although happiness is shown to be U-shaped, both the 25-year-old and 65-year-old might agree that

38、 it is nicer to be 25 than to be 65. And the 65-year-old might be much happier, as they have learned to be satisfied with what they have.”Lewis Wolpert, professor of biology, said happiness could peak as late as 80s. In his book Youre Looking Very Well, Wolpert said, “Most people are averagely happy

39、 in their teens and 20s, but this decreases until early middle age as they attempt to support a family.” He added, “From the mid-40s, people tend to become ever more cheerful and optimistic, perhaps reaching a maximum in their late 70s or 80s. The completion of the responsibilities, maturity and an

40、increased focus on the things they enjoy contribute to the trend(趋势).”Meanwhile, the ageing population means an increasing number of middle-aged adults are caught between the responsibilities of raising their children and looking after their elderly parents.According to a study by the US National Ac

41、ademy of Sciences, enjoyment of life begins an upward trend in the late 40s and does not peak until 85. Research also suggests that as we grow older, our ability to make wise decisions increases. Besides, our ability to concentrate on the parts of life and activities we enjoy and cut out the that we

63、的单词。注意：每空1个单词。The job of raising children is a tough one. Children dont come with an instruction handbook. And each child is different. So parents sometimes pull their hair out in frustration(挫折), not knowing what to do. But in raising children-as in all of life-what we do is influenced by our cultu

64、re. Naturally then, American parents teach their children basic American values.To Americans, the goal of parents is to help children stand on their own two feet. From infancy (幼年), each child may get his or her own room. As children grow, they gain more freedom to make their own choices. Teenagers

65、choose their own forms of entertainment, as well as the friends to share them with. When they reach young adulthood, they choose their own careers and marriage partners. Of course, many young adults still seek their parents advice and approval for the choices they make. But once they leave the nest

66、at around 18 to 21 years old, they want to be on their own, not tied to their mothers apron strings. The relationship between parents and children in America is very informal. American parents try to treat their children as individuals not as extensions（延伸）of themselves. They allow them to realize t

67、heir own dreams. Americans praise and encourage their children to give them the confidence to succeed. When children become adults, their relationship with their parents becomes more like a friendship among equals. But contrary to popular belief, most adult Americans dont make their parents pay for

68、room and board when they come to visit. Even as adults, they respect and honor their parents. Most young couples with children struggle with the issue of childcare. Mothers have traditionally stayed home with their children. In recent years, though, a growing trend is to put preschoolers in a day ca

69、re center so Mom can work. Many Americans have strong feelings about which type of arrangement is best. Some argue that attending a day care center can be a positive experience for children. Others insist that mothers are the best caregivers for children. A number of women are now leaving the workfo

70、rce to become full-time homemakers. Disciplining children is another area that American parents have different opinions about. Many parents feel that an old-fashioned spanking(一顿打) helps youngsters learn what No!” means. Others prefer alternate forms of discipline. For example, time outs have become

71、 popular in recent years. Children in time out have to sit in a corner or by a wall. They can get up only when they are ready to act nicely. Older children and teenagers who break the rules may be grounded, or not allowed to go out with friends. Some of their privileges(特权) at home like TV or teleph

72、one use may also be taken away for a while. Although discipline isnt fun for parents or children, its a necessary part of training. Being a parent is a tall order. It takes patience, love, wisdom, courage and a good sense of humor to raise children. Some people are just deciding not to have children

73、 at all, since theyre not sure its worth it. But raising children means training the next generation and preserving our culture. What could be worth more than that?
