When you're managing children,阅读下面的句子,根据文章内容进行判断,正确写“T”,错误写“F”。Stop Yelling At Your KidsParenting is hard. If you’re a parent, I’m sure that I don’t need to tell you that our job is a tough one. When youre managing children, it can be difficult to remember that they are still learning. If you find yourself yelling at your kids more often than you want to, here are some ways that can help you reduce the yelling. I’ve been working on this for the past few months and I have to say,it’s been amazing for both the kids and me.If you are having an argument with your child, you need to make sure you both take the time to really listen. It gives both of you time to think and really listen to each other, which is important. Kids are more likely to listen to you if you listen to them!One of your biggest struggles is to remind yourself of appropriate expectations. You can’t expect that your youngest acts as responsibly as your oldest. You should lower what you expect -taking into consideration things like their age - it can make a big difference. You should do your best to take a moment before yelling and take in a deep breath. It makes a world of difference for you. Instead of yelling, you’d better whisper. It can also help diffuse any situation by making things quieter, not louder. Besides, the more time you spend with your kids, the better you’ll get at communicating with them. You’re both more likely to understand each other.If your children aren’t listening or it seems they only don’t listen to you, you don’t take it personally. You should remind yourself that your kids are still learning and they’re not going to be perfect.( )21. As a parent, you may know that parenting is an easy job.( )22. Listening to each other is a good way to stop argument between parents and their kids.( )23. Usually younger kids behave less responsibly than elder children.( )24. Parents should lower their expectation for their kids.( )25. Both yelling and whispering can help make things quieter.

4.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.When your parents advise you to “get an education” in order to raise your income,they tell you only half the truth. What they really mean is to get just enough education to provide manpower for your society,but not so much that you prove an embarrassment to your society.Get a high school diploma,at least. Without that,you will be occupationally dead unless your name happens to be George Bernard Shaw or Thomas Alva Edison,and you can successfully dropout in grade school.Get a college degree,if possible. With a B. A. ,you are on the launching pad. But now you have to start to put on the brakes. If you go for a master's degree,make sure it is an M. B. A. ,and is famous. Law of diminishing returns begins to take effect.Do you know,for instance,that long-haul truck drivers earn more per year than full professors? Yes,the average 1977 salary for those truckers was $ 24,000. While the full professors managed to earn just $ 23,030.A Ph. D. is the highest degree you can get. Except for a few specialized fields such as physics or chemistry where the degree can quickly be turned to industrial or commercial purposes,if you pursue such a degree in any other field,you will face a dim future. There are more Ph. D. s unemployed or underemployed in this country than any other part of the world.If you become a doctor of philosophy in English or history or anthropology or political science or languages or-worst of all-in philosophy. you run the risk of becoming overeducated for our national demands. Not for our needs,mind you,but for our demands.Thousands of Ph. D. s are selling shoes,driving cars,waiting on table,and endlessly filling out applications month after month. They may also take a job in some high school or backwater college that pays much less than the janitor earns.You can equate the level of income with the level of education only so far. Far enough,that is,to make you useful to the gross national product. but not so far that nobody can turn much of a profit on you.According to the writer,what the society expects of education is to turn out people who______.A. will not be a disgrace to societyB. will become loyal citizensC. can take care of themselvesD. can meet the nation's demands as a source of manpower
