11、OW? When Columbus landed there were probably more people in the Americas than there were in Europe. The peoples of North America had such healthy life-styles that as late as the 19th century they continued to be the tallest people on earth.

18、ng spanked when he was a child. His parents used a wooden spoon. When he spanked his own children with his hand, he saw that he put a red mark on his childs leg. He never did that again. One problem with spanking is that it teaches the child to hit someone when they do not like what the other person
19、 is doing. Another problem with spanking is that the parent is usually angry and can hit the child too hard.
