Children model themselves largely on their parents．They do so mainly through identification．Children identify   36   a parent when they believe they have the qualities and feelings that are   37   of that parent．The things parents do and say---and the   38   they do and say to them--therefore strongly influence a child's   39  ．However, parents must consistently behave like the type of   40   they want their child to become．

       A parent's actions   41   affect the self-image that a child forms   42   identification．Children who see mainly positive qualities in their   43   will likely learn to see themselves in a positive way．Children who observe chiefly   44   qualities in their parents will have difficulty   45   positive qualities in themselves．Children may   46   their self-image, however, as they become increasingly   47    by peers groups standards before they reach 13．

       Isolated（孤立的） events,   48   dramatic（突然的） ones, do not necessarily have a permanent   49   on a child's  behavior．Children interact such events according to their established attitudes and previous training．Children who know they are loved can,   50  , accept the divorce of their parents' or a parent's early   51  ．But if children feel unloved, they may interpret such events   52   a sign of rejection or punishment．

       In the same way, all children are not influenced   53   by toys and games, reading matter, and television programs．  54   in the case of a dramatic change in family relations, the   55   of an activity or experience depends on how the child interprets it．

The United States is mainly an English－speaking country. The great number of population(人口) speaks English as their native language. Business, education and most publish aspects(方面) of  life are conducted in English. Across the country, people pronounce English sounds in several  different ways and some regional(地区) differences in word spelling exist, but for the most part,  Americans speak one common language. This language is sometimes called American English.

However, not everyone in the US is a native speaker of English. Most of the persons coming into the country are speakers of other languages. There are hundreds of communities around the US where English is not the most commonly used language. Chinese, Italian, German, American, Greek, Vietnamese and French are all spoken in a great number of communities in the United States. Spanish is the second most commonly spoken language after English in the US. It is widely spoken in New York and across the southern part of the country.

For speakers of other languages, learning English is important, but traditionally(传统上),  teaching people to speak English as a second language was given little attention. Non－English  speakers were expected to “pick up” the language through getting in touch with people in public. Recently, this has changed. Today, most large public schools and community colleges have ESL,  English as a Second Language, programs. American English teachers feel that English students should learn the language the way they will be using it. Therefore, ESL programs teach different English lessons to different students.  Some programs teach students to communicate in English in public.

The day before Father’s Day, Mrs. Berry asked her students to __36  ___ a card for their fathers. She passed out paper and pieces of cloth.

       Elizabeth looked for a while at the blue cloth and began to cut it. Then she  folded (折)her paper in half and began writing. When Elizabeth finally looked at the message the teacher gave on the paper, she noticed something else. She felt her   37   grow hot — she hadn’t heard that anyone who didn’t have a father could make one for a grandfather or an uncle.

       As her teacher walked to her, Elizabeth tried  38  her card with her arm, but Mrs Berry gently  39  it so that she could read it. Elizabeth sat  40 , waiting for her to say something, but she saw a  41  roll down Mrs Berry’s face. She had never made Mrs Berry so upset.

       When school was over, Elizabeth  42  until all the other kids left so that she could  43 . “I’m sorry for not listening. I’ll make another card  44  you want. I’ll do it  45  and bring it tomorrow.”

       “ 46  are you talking about?” asked Mrs Berry.

       “My Father’s Day card. I know you’re upset because I didn’t do it  47 .”

       “Elizabeth, that was the  48  card in the whole class. It was so  49   that it made me cry.”

       Elizabeth was so  50  that she ran out of the classroom.

       When her mom came home from work that night, Elizabeth  51  to give her the card early.

       On the front of the card was a  52  of Elizabeth’s mom, with a blue piece of cloth cut like her hair. Inside the card she had written:

Dear Mom,

       I know you work really hard to be both a mommy and a(n)  53 . I want to thank you and  54  you a happy Father’s Day!

                                                            Love,

                                                            Elizabeth

Do you know what kind of things the young people are reading? More and more  36  and parents have noticed another kind of pollution, which comes from the printed papers  37  on streets.

　　These printed things 38  newspapers but have hardly anything to do with 39 . You can only find reading materials badly made up there---some are too strange for anyone to 40 ,  others are frightening stories of something  41  .However, many of the young readers are getting interested in such  42  reading, which  43  them what they should pay for their breakfast and brings them nightmares（噩梦）and immoral（邪恶）ideas in  44 .  Homework is left  45 ,  and daily games are lost.

　　These sellers shout on streets selling their papers well. The writers, publishers and printers,  46  they are, we never know,  are  47  their silent money.

The sheep-skinned wolf's story seems to have been forgotten once again .Why not 48  this kind of thing? Yes, both teachers and parents have asked each other for more strict control of the young readers.  49  ,the more you want to forbid it, the more they want to have a look at it.  50  you may even find  several children, driven by the curious natures,  51  one patched paper,  which has travelled from hand to hand.

　　It really does 52  to our society. It has already formed a sort of moral pollution. The  53  teachers and parents need more powerful support in their protection of the young generation. At the same time the young  54  need more interesting books to help them  55  those ugly papers.
