　　Ms Keller often said, “Without Anne Sullivan, the name of Helen Keller would have remained unknown．”

　　As a little girl, Sullivan was no stranger to hardship(困苦)．She almost couldn't see anything and was, at one time, locked in a dark underground room of a mental institution(精神病院)because of mental problems．Little Annie Sullivan would attack anyone who came near sometimes．However, an elderly nurse believed there was hope and she offered to help the child．Every day she made all her efforts to give little Annie words of love and encouragement．

　　At last, doctors noticed a change in the girl．They ever saw anger and hostility(敌意)in her eyes, while now they noted a little gentleness and love．They moved her upstairs where she continued to become better．Then the day finally came when this seemingly “hopeless” child was released．

　　Anne Sullivan grew into a young woman with a desire to help others as she herself, was helped by the kind nurse．It was she who saw hope in Helen Keller．She loved her, played with her until the flickering candle became a bright light to the world．Anne Sullivan brought wonders into Helen's life．But without that kind and warm-hearted nurse, how could little Annie become such a kind-hearted teacher?

　　And so it goes．Just how far back does the chain of love extend? And how far forward will it lead? You can never ignore the power of your love．It is a fire that, once lit, may burn forever．

　　The famous director of a big and expensive movie planned to film a beautiful sunset over the ocean, so that the audience could see his hero and heroine in front of it at the end of the film as they said good-bye to each other forever. He sent his camera crew(摄制组)out one evening to film the sunset for him.

　　The next morning he said to the men,“Have you provided me with that sunset?”

　　“No, sir,”the men answered.

　　The director was angry.“Why not?”he asked.

　　“Well, sir.”one of the men answered, “we're on the east coast here, and the sun sets in the west. We can get you a sunrise over the sea, if necessary, but not a sunset.”

　　“But I want a sunset!”the director shouted.“Go to the airport, take the next flight to the west coast, and get one.”

　　But then a young secretary had an idea.“Why don't you photograph a sunrise,”she suggested,“and then play it backwards. It'll look like a sunset.”

　　“That's a very good idea!”the director said. Then he turned to the camera crew and said,“Tomorrow morning I want you to get me a beautiful sunrise over the sea.”

　　The camera crew went out early the next morning end filmed a bright sunrise over the beach in the middle of a beautiful bay (海湾). Then at nine o'clock they took it to the director.“Here it is, sir.”they said, and gave it to him. He was very pleased.

　　They all went into the studio (摄影棚).“All right.”the director explained.“Now our hero and heroine are going to say good-bye. Run the film backwards so that we can see the‘sunset’behind them.”

　　The“sunset”began, but after a quarter of a minute, the director suddenly put his face in his hands and shouted to the camera crew to stop.

　　Bringing up children is hard work, and you are often to blame for any bad behavior of your children．If so, Judith Rich Hams has good news for you．Parents, she argues, have no important long-term effects on the development of the personality of their children．Far more important are their playground friends and neighborhood companions．Ms Harris takes to bits the assumption which has dominated(支配)developmental psychology for almost half a century．

　　Ms Harris's attack on the developmentalists “nurture” argument looks likely to reinforce(加强)doubts that the profession was already having．If parents matter, why is it that two adopted children, reared in the same home, are no more similar in personality than two adopted children reared in separate homes?Or that a pair of identical twins, reared in the same home, are no more alike than a pair of identical twins reared in different homes?

　　Difficult as it is to track the precise effects of parental upbringing, it may be harder to measure the exact influence of the peer(同龄人)group in childhood and adolescence．Ms Harris points to how children from immigrant homes soon learn not to speak at school in the way their parents speak．But acquiring a language is surely a skill, rather than a characteristic of the sort developmental psychologists hunt for．Certainly it is different from growing up tensely or relaxedly, or from learning to be honest or hard-working or generous．Easy though it may be to prove that parents have little impact on those qualities, it will be hard to prove that peers have vastly more．

　　Moreover, mum and dad surely cannot be ditched completely．Young adults may, as Ms Harris argues, be keen to appear like their contemporaries．But even in those early years, parents have the power to open doors: they may initially choose the peers with whom their young associate, and pick that influential neighborhood．Moreover, most people suspect that they come to resemble their parents more in middle age, and people's child-rearing habits may be formed partly by what their parents did．So the balance of influences is probably complicated, as most parents already suspected without being able to demonstrate it scientifically．Even if it turns out that the genes they pass on and the friends their children play with matter as much as affection, discipline and good example, parents are not completely off the hook．

(1)

According to Ms．Harris, ________．
[　　]
A．	parents are to blame for any bad behavior of their children
B．	children's personality is shaped by their friends and neighbors
C．	nature rather than upbringing has a significant effect on children's personality development
D．	parents will greatly affect the children's life in the long run

(2)

The word “ditched”(Line1, Para．4)could best be replaced by ________．
[　　]
A．	proved
B．	emphasized
C．	compared
D．	ignored

(3)

The developmental psychologists think ________．
[　　]
A．	children are more influenced by their peers
B．	identical twins raised in the same home are different in personality
C．	twins raised in two separate families are different in personality
D．	upbringing has a less significant effect on children's personality development

(4)

According to Paragraph 3, we know that ________．
[　　]
A．	it is easier for children to gain a language at home
B．	it is harder to follow the effects of parental upbringing
C．	immigrant children avoid speaking the same way as their parents at school
D．	it is proved that peers have a greater effect on children's qualities

(5)

What does the author mean by saying “parents are not completely off the book” at the end of the passage?
[　　]
A．	Parents should control the situation．
B．	Parents should give their way to children．
C．	Parents should spend more time on children．
D．	Parents should take on their responsibility

　　Young adult filmmakers all hope to show their works in international festivals like Sundance and Toronto．But what about really young filmmakers who aren’t in film school yet and aren’t, strictly speaking, even adults?

　　They are at the heart of Wingspan Arts Kids Film Festival, tomorrow, in a setting any director might envy：Lincoln Center．Complete with “red carpet” interviews and various awards, the festival has much in common with events for more experienced moviemakers, except for the age of the participants：about 8 to 18．

　　“What’s really exciting is that it’s film for kids by kids,” said Cori Gardner, managing director of Wingspan Arts, a nonprofit organization offering youth arts programs in the New York area．This year the festival will include films not only from Wingspan but also from other city organizations and one from a middle school in Arlington, Virginia．“We want to make this a national event,” Ms．Gardner added．

　　The nine shorts to be shown range from a Claymation biography of B．B．King to a science fiction adventure set in the year 3005．“A lot of the material is really mature,” Ms．Gardner said, talking about films by the New York City branch of Global Action Project, a media arts and leadership-training group．“The Choice is about the history of a family and Master Anti-Smoker is about the dangers of secondhand smoke．Dream of the Invisibles describes young immigrants’(移民)feelings of both belonging and not belonging in their adopted country．”

　　The festival will end with an open reception at which other films will be shown．These include a music video and a full-length film whose title is Pressures．
