One day, a poor boy who was trying to pay his way through school by selling goods from door to door found that he only had one dime(一角银币) left. He was hungry so he decided to     41     for a meal at the next house.

However, he lost his nerve     42    a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked    43    so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it    44   , and then asked, “How much do I owe you?”

The bill was sent to her room. She was afraid to open it because she was    58    that it would take the rest of her life to pay it off. Finally she looked, and the note on the side of the bill caught her    59  . She read these words…

The other day at the supermarket, I saw a naughty child of about six crying loudly, falling to the floor and refusing to move. All the while the troubled mother was trying to persuade him to behave well but failed. A little smack (掴打) on his bottom would have done the job, I thought.

Teenagers also cause discipline problems. As a teacher I had a 16-year-old student who had fallen in love with a waiter at a fast-food restaurant. In fact, she had left home to stay with him. So we decided to put her in the school hostel. She refused. When she heard her mother begging her to stay in the hostel she turned round and said: “Why don’t you stay in the hostel if you like it so much?”

My palms were itching to slap her for being so rude but the poor mother continued to cajole her, hoping that gentle persuasion would work wonders. It did not. The last I heard, she had run away from home again.

    The list goes on and on. Could it be that today’s parents are softer and believe that they must not rod (棍棒惩罚) their children for fear of the bad result? Or do they actually believe that the children will get rid of the bad habits and behave well naturally as they grow older? I beg to disagree. I believe it is the parents’ duty to discipline the children even at a young age.

    My children who are now adults will prove the fact that I used the rod when I thought it necessary. Later when they went abroad, they related to their British university friends on how they were disciplined. Their friends abroad were filled with horror and told my daughter that I could be charged for child abuse (虐待). However, my daughter paid me the greatest compliment when she told them that she would not be where she was today if not for my strict discipline.

According to the passage, the author would probably _______.

   A. beat the children every day        B. punish the children when necessary

   C. 1eave the children as they are      D. treat the children in a softer way
