These　 33　 love their children and want to　 34　 that everything in their life is perfect. Some kids may become upset but　 35　 like being pampered(纵容). The pampered kids like the idea of being waited on hand and foot. They like the idea of not　 36　 to make decisions.

Reading Comprehension

　　People are wiser and can do more things than other animals because of their wonderful brains. We can talk, read, write, build houses, and invent things. Your brain has three main parts：the front brain, the hind brain, and the middle brain.

　　The front brain is the largest. It is gray outside and white inside. This is the part of the brain where you remember, think, and plan. With this part of your brain you make your arms and legs do what you want them to do. Here is where the messages from the eyes, ears, and nose let you see, hear, and smell. The hind brain is smaller than the front brain and is more like that of other animals. This part of the brain gives you balance and control of your muscles. You walk without tripping and skip without falling because the hind brain is doing its job. If it were not, you would lose your balance and fall over.

　　The middle brain is the smallest of all, but very important. It controls the beating of your heart, swallowing food, breathing, and other things you do without thinking. The middle brain is a small swelling where the brain joins the spinal cord－a large bundle of nerves in your backbone. The spinal cord is the main road to and from the brain. It comes into the middle brain bringing messages from all parts of your body. It also takes charge when some part of your body is in danger. If you touch a hot iron, the message to the spinal cord makes you pull your finger away even before you feel the pain of the burn. This is called a reflex. Nerves conned most parts of your body to the spinal cord.
