If they can 36 it, they will certainly send them to the best universities. But they need not feel 37 if they cant. If the children really want to go, theyll find a 38 . There are plenty of loans and scholarships for the bright and 39 ones who cant afford to pay.When children grow up and want to 40 , their parents do not owe them a down payment on a house. They do not have the 41 to baby-sit their grandchildren. If they want to do it, it must be considered a 42 not an obligation (责任，义务).Do parents owe their children anything? Yes, they owe them a great deal.One of their obligations is to give their children a personal 43 . A child who is constantly made to feel stupid and unworthy, constantly 44 to brighter brothers, sisters, or cousins will become so 45 , so afraid of failing that he (or she) wont try at all. Of course they should be 46 corrected when they do wrong, but its often better to let children learn their mistakes by themselves 47 . All our parents should do is to trust them, respect them, tolerate (宽容) them and give them chances to try and fail. They must learn to stand 48 . When criticisms (批评) are really needed, they should be 49 with praises, with a smile and a kiss. That is the way children learn.Parents owe their children a set of solid values around 50 to build their lives. This means teaching them to 51 the rights and opinions of others; it means being respectful to elders, to teachers, and to the law. The best way to teach such values is by deed and _52_.

He never yelled at us for playing in his yard, but was always very kind.When Doctor Gibbs wasnt saving lives, he was planting trees. He had some interesting theories about planting trees. He believed in the principle: No pain, no gain. He hardly watered his new trees, an attitude which flew in the face of conventional wisdom.Once I asked why and he told me that watering plants spoiled them because it made them grow weaker. He said you had to make things tough for the trees so that only the strongest could survive. He talked about how watering trees made them develop shallow roots and how, if they were not watered, trees would grow deep roots in search of water.So, instead of watering his trees every morning, hed beat them with a rolled-up newspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the trees attention.Doctor Gibbs died a couple of years after I left home. Every now and then, I walked by his house and looked at the trees that Id watched him plant some 25 years ago. They were tall and strong.I planted a couple of trees myself a few years ago. Two years of attending these trees meant they grew up weak. Whenever a cold wind blew, their branches trembled. Adversity seemed to benefit Doctor Gibbs trees in ways comfort and ease never could.Every night before I go to bed, I check on my two sons. I often pray that their lives will be easy. But lately Ive been thinking that its time to change my prayer. I know my children are going to encounter hardship. Theres always a cold wind blowing somewhere. What we need to do is to pray for deep roots, so when the rains fall and the winds blow, we wont be torn apart. 56. With the trees planted, Doctor Gibbs often_. A. kept watering them every morningB. talked to them to get their attention C. paid little attention to them D. beat them to make them grow deep roots57. What does the underlined word Adversity mean in the sixth paragraph? A. Difficult living conditions. B. Lack of moisture. C. Enough care or attention.D. Bad weather.58. Which prayer does the author wish for his sons? A. Have an easy life, without too much to worry about. B. Be able to stand the rain and wind in their lives. C. Have good luck, encountering less hardship in their life. D. Meet people like Dr Gibbs in the future.BThe power of humor and laugher is numerous. They entertain us and make us feel good. But, above all, we have discovered that humor and laughter are the best medicine. They relieve pain, reduce stress and anxiety, and are anti-aging and longevity facilitators. They are extremely necessary for helping us to find and maintain a balance between life and work. However, they are slipping away from us. We have become far too serious. The only ones who still enjoy humor, laughter, fun and play to the fullest are young children. Children tend to laugh an average of 200 times a day. For adults, however, it is a totally different story.In the 1950s people laughed on average 18 times a day. Today, we are lucky if we average between 4-6 times a day.As a matter of fact, a recent study found that people laugh 6 more times in the presence of one person but 30 more times in a group of people. You can get a chuckle(咯咯笑) from jokes you get on the Internet, but it is not the same as belly jiggling laughter (a deep laugh) you get when you interact with others.Socializing with friends and relatives was much looked forward to. However, this is no longer the case. In fact, the majority of people can hardly find time, nor do they have the inclination towards socializing outside home. They turn to electronic media such as television, computers, the Internet, videos, CDs, and audio equipment, which can provide them with instant self-entertainment at the push of a button.The workplace does not fare(进展) much better. Due to the pressures to produce more in the same or fewer hours available and to compete, for example, in a manufacturing field with cheaper labor elsewhere in the world, humor and laughter in the workplace have gradually eroded（逐渐毁坏） away.I have developed a real appreciation, perhaps closer to a strong desire for the power of humor and laughter. This encouraged me to write my first book titled “The Power of Humor” and subsequently my second book titled “Kids Say the Goggonest Things” based on the natural humor, laughter, play and fun that kids experience and they freely share with parents, grandparents and teachers.From writing about humor and laughter, people start to ask me to speak up for them. To date, I have developed a number of humor-laughter topics that I use in my keynote presentations. You are invited to subscribe to my free monthly e-magazine “The Humormeisters Forum” by clicking on the Free Humor E-zine navigation button on the website.59. According to the author, laughter is leaving us partly because _.A. we treat everything in a serious way B. it relieves pain, reduces stress and anxiety C. we fail to maintain balance between life and workD. the pace of change in our lives is becoming faster60. The fourth paragraph mainly tells us that _.A. getting a deep laugh nowadays is difficult B. we can entertain ourselves with the help of the InternetC. people laugh more heartily when spending time with others D. researchers have made a new discovery about the effect of laughter61. The underlined word “inclination” in Paragraph 5 most probably means “_”.A. destination B. tendency C. attitude D. approach62. Which of the following articles can we most probably find in “The Humormeisters Forum”?A. The power of honest
