That was before we entered the permissive period in education in which we decide it was all right not to push our children to achieve their best in school. The school and the educators made it easy for us. They taught that it was all right to be parents who take a let-alone policy. We stopped making our children do homework. We gave them calculators, turned on the television, left the teaching to the teachers and went on vacation.
Now teachers, faced with children who have been developing at their own pace for the past 15 years, are realizing we' ve made a terrible mistake. One such teacher is Sharon Klompus who says of her students--" so passive"--and wonders what has happened. Nothing is demanded of them, she believes. Television, says Klompus, contributes to children's passivity "We're talking about a generation of kids who' ve never been hurt or hungry. They have learned somebody will always do it for them, instead of saying ' go and look it up' , you tell them the answer. It takes greater energy to say no to a kid."
Yes it does. It takes energy and it takes work. It’s time for parents to end their vacation and come back to work. It’s time to take the car away, to turn the TV off, to tell them it hurts you more than them but it’s for their own good. It’s time to start telling them no again.
Children are becoming more inactive in study because ______.

Betty and Harold have been married for years. But one thing still puzzles (困扰) old Harold. How is it that he can leave Betty and her friend Joan sitting on the sofa, talking, go out to a ball- game, come back three and a half hours later, and they're still sitting on the sofa？ Talking？
What in the world, Harold wonders, do they have to talk about？
Betty shrugs. Talk？ We' re friends.
Researching this matter called friendship, psychologist Lillian Rubin spent two years interviewing more than two hundred women and men. No matter what their age, their job, their sex, the re- suits were completely clear: women have more friendships than men, and the difference in the con- tent and the quality of those friend-ships is "marked and unmistakable".
More than two-thirds of the single men Rubin interviewed could not name a best friend. Those who could were likely to name a woman. Yet three-quarters of the single women had no problem naming a best friend, and almost it was a woman. More married men than women named their wife/ husband as a best friend, most trusted person, or the one they would turn to in time of emotional distress (感情危机). "Most women," says Rubin, "identified (认定) at least one, usually more, trusted friends to whom they could turn in a troubled moment, and they spoke openly about the importance of these relationships in their lives."
"In general," writes Rubin in her new book, "women' s friendships with each other rest on shared emotions and support, but men' s relationships are marked by shared activities." For he most part, Rubin says, interactions(交往)between men are emotionally controlled--a good fit with the social requirements of "manly behavior".
"Even when a man is said to be a best friend," Rubin writes, "the two share little about their innermost feelings. Whereas a woman' s closest female friend, might be the first to tell her to leave a failing marriage, it wasn't unusual to hear a man say he didn't know his friend' s marriage was in serious trouble until he appeared one night asking if he could sleep on the sofa."
What old Harold cannot understand or explain is the fact that ________.

听力原文： Good afternoon. This is your captain speaking. We have found a strong air current ahead for the next forty miles or so. Passengers are therefore strongly advised to remain in their seats with their seat belts on for their own protection and to avoid use of the rest rooms for time being, if at all possible. During this time, young children should be firmly fastened into their seats.
Please observe these precautions until the seat-belt warning sign has gone off. Lunch will be served after we have passed through the air current zone. Thank you.
