A
When your child lies to you, it hurts. As parents, it makes us angry and we take it personally. We feel like we can never trust our child again. Why does lying cause such anger, pain and worry for parents?
Parents are understandably very afraid of their children getting hurt and getting into trouble, but they have very little protection against these things as they send their kids out into the word. Kids learn from other kids and from external media, and this makes parents feel unsafe because they can’t control the information and ideas that their children are exposed to.
When your kid lies, you start to see him as “sneaky（卑鄙的）”, especially if he continues to lie to you. You feel that he’s going behind your back. You begin to think that your kids are “bad”. Because, certainly, if lying is bad, liars are bad. It’s just that simple. Parents need to make their kids responsible for lying. But the mistake parents make is that they start to blame the kid for lying. It’s considered immoral to lie. But when you look at your kid like he’s a sneak, it’s a slippery slope （滑坡谬误）that starts with “You lie” and ends up at “You’re a bad person”.
Kids know lying is forbidden. But they don’t see it as hurtful. So a kid will say, “I know it’s wrong that I eat a sugar snack when I’m not supposed to. But who does it hurt?” “I know it’s wrong that I trade my dried fruit for a Twinkie. But it doesn’t really hurt anybody. I can handle it. What’s the big deal?” That’s what the kid sees.
So I think that parents have to assume that kids are going to tell them lies, because they’re immature and they don’t understand how hurtful these things are. They’re all drawn to excitement, and they’ll all have a tendency to distort(歪曲) the truth because they’re kids.
1、Why do parents worry about their kids and feel unsafe?
A．Nobody trusts their kids in the world because of lying.
B．Lying always causes their kids to get hurt or get into trouble.
C．Their kids are exposed to outside world without their control.

D．They can’t protect their kids from other kids and external media.
2、What’s the author’s attitude towards parents’ seeing kids as bad if they lie?
A．Immoral. B．Negative.
C．Supportive. D．Different.
3、The underlined word “they” really refers to ________.
A．parents B．their children
C．other kids D．bad things
4、How do parents react to kids’ lying?
A．Taking no notice of it.
B．Blaming them immediately.
C．Pretending to be angry and educate them.
D．Accept it but make them responsible for it.

B
If you make a list of the world’s top ten most challenging jobs, chances are that being a teacher will not make the cut. But think about the discouraging task millions of educators face each day as they try to shape a group of often bad-tempered, wild kids into intelligent, well-rounded individuals. That surely has to be the toughest job in the world, especially given that there is no promotion or bonus awaiting them even if they are wildly successful!
What if these all-important individuals that we often take for granted disappear from our lives? That was what Project Ed and Participant Media’s Teach campaign asked filmmakers of all ages to imagine in their recently-held competition. Entitled “A World Without Teachers”, its purpose was to inspire more young people to become teachers. However, the 62 amazing video submissions also serve as a reminder of how horrible things would be if we didn’t have these selfless individuals guiding us through life. What was interesting is that even the youngest participants did not appear to be happy at the idea of not having anybody telling them what to do.
High-school student Savannah Wakefield reflected if art as we know it today would have been different without teachers. Would Monet have discovered his talent for impressionism? Los Angeles-based Miles Horst, who won the 1000 USD prize for the best adult submission imagines a world where teachers are replaced by a “brain box” in his fun lively entry.
Youth category winner Marina Barham’s video represents a fact we all know but often forget. Teachers don’t just teach, they inspire—something that no electronic device, no matter how smart, can do! So the next time you think your teacher is being “mean” for trying to channel you in the right direction, imagine a life without him/her. We have a feeling it will not appear as rosy!
1、What is the text mainly about?
A．The significance of teachers.
B．The campaign to promote teachers’ status.
C．A survey of people’s views about teachers.
D．A competition to win the prize for the best teacher.
2、From the passage we can learn that 　　　.
A．teaching naughty kids is a very discouraging task
B．being a teacher is one of the most challenging jobs in the world
C．a successful teacher has the greatest chance to be promoted
D．teachers have little influence on kids’ individual development
3、What is the purpose of the project “A World Without Teachers”?
A．To attract kids to submit more videos of their teachers.
B．To encourage more people to go into teaching career.
C．To expect teachers to devote themselves to their jobs.
D．To remind students to appreciate teachers’ hard work.
4、What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 suggest?
A．Teaching is quite different from other jobs.
B．The future of teachers’ work appears inspiring.
C．A world without teachers will be unimaginable.
D．Many people attach more importance to teaching.
