Three centuries later, misguided ideas about child-raising are still popular. Many parents fear that their children will die unless ceaselessly watched. In America the law can be equally paranoid (偏执的). In South Carolina this month Debra Harrell was jailed for letting her 9-year-old daughter play in a park unsupervised (无人监督的).Her severe punishment reflects the rich world’s worry about parenting. By most objective measures, modern parents are far more conscientious than previous generations. Dads are more hands-on than their fathers were, and working mothers spend more time nurturing their children than the housewives of the 1960s did. However, there are two problems in this picture, connected to class. One is at the lower end. Even if poor parents spend more time with their children than they once did, they spend less than rich parents do. Americais a laggard here: its government spends abundantly on school-age kids but much less than other rich countries on the first two or three years of life. If America did more to help poor parents with young children, it would have huge returns.The second one, occurs at the other end of the income scale, and may even apply to otherwise rational Economist readers: well-educated, rich parents try to do too much. Safety is part of it—they fear that if they are not constantly watching their children may break their necks, which is the least rational. Despite the impression you get from watching crime dramas, children in rich countries are safe, so long as they look both ways before crossing the road. The other popular parental fear—that your children might not get into an Ivy League college—is more rational. Academic success matters more than ever before. But beyond a certain point, parenting makes less difference than many parents imagine. Studies in Minnesota and Sweden, for example, found thatidentical twins grew up equally intelligent whether they were raised together or apart. A study in Colorado found that children that adopted and raised by brainy parents ended up no brainier than those adopted by average parents.This doesn’t mean that parenting is irrelevant. The families who adopt children are carefully screened, so they tend to be warm, capable and middle-class. But the twin and adoption studies indicate that any child given a loving home and adequate stimulation is likely to fulfill her potential. Put another way, better-off parents can afford to relax a bit. And if you are less stressed, your children will appreciate it, even if you still make them eat their fruit and vegetables.24. Which of the following statements is NOT a misguided idea of parenting mentioned inthe passage?A. Children should be protected from any dangers by their parentsB. The more conscientious parents are, the more children will surely benefit from parentingC. Children will die unless ceaselessly watchedD. Children are likely to fulfill their potential with a loving home and adequatestimulation25. The underlined word “laggard” in Paragraph 2 probably means a country that __________.A. is ahead in developmentB. falls slow behind othersC. is free from physical or mental disorderD. moves to a higher position26. Which of the following can we learn from the passage?A. Only warm, capable and middle-class people can adopt a child.B. When it comes to child-raising, Economist readers will become more rational.C. Children in rich countries are in greater danger due to the bad influence of crimedramas.D. Although poor parents spend more time with their kids than they once did, they spendless than rich parents do.27. This pa ssage is mainly written to __________.A. urge American laws concerning parenting to be changedB. advise modern parents to learn from their previous generationsC. persuade stressed parents to learn to relax and give more freedom to their childrenD. call on the government to do more to help poor parents with school-age childrenCFor years,studies have found that first-generation college students—those who do not have a parent with a college degree —lag other students on a range of education achievement factors. Their grades are lower and their dropout rates are higher. But since such students are most likely to advance economically if they succeed in higher education,colleges and universities have pushed for decades to recruit more of them. This has created “a paradox” in that recruiting first-generation students,but then watching many of them fail,means that higher education has “continued to reproduce and widen,rather than close”achievement gap based on social class, according to the depressing beginning of a paper forthcoming in the journal Psychological Science.But the article is actually quite optimistic,as it outlines a potential solution to this problem, suggesting that an approach(which involves a one-hour, next-to-no-cost program)can close 63 percent of the achievement gap(measured by such factors as grades)between first-generation and other students.The authors of the paper are from different universities, and their findings are based on a study involving 147 students(who completed the project)at an unnamed private university.First generation was defined as not having a parent with a four-year college degree. Most of the first-generation students(59.1 percent) were recipients of Pell Grants,a federal grant for undergraduates with financial need,while this was true only for 8.6 percent of the students with at least one parent with a four-year degree.Their thesis-that a relatively modest intervention could have a big impact-was based on the view that first-generation students may be most lacking not in potential but in practical knowledge about how to deal with the issues that face most college students. They cite past research by several authors to show that this is the gap that must be narrowed to close the achievement gap.Many first-generation students “struggle to navigate the middle-class culture of higher education,learn the rules of the game,'and take advantage of college resources,”they write. And this becomes more of a problem when colleges don't talk about the class advantage and disadvantages of different groups of students because US colleges and universities seldom acknowledge how social class can affect students' educational experience,many first-generation students lack sight about why they are struggling and do not understand how students like them can improve.28. Recruiting more first-generation students has______.A. reduced their dropout ratesB. narrowed the achievement gapC. missed its original purposeD. depressed college students29. The author of the research article is optimistic because______.A. the problem is solvableB. their approach is costlessC. the recruiting rate has increasedD. their findings appeal to students30 The study suggests that most first-generation students______.A. study at private universitiesB. are from single-parent familiesC. are in need of financial supportD. have failed their college31. The author of the paper believes that first-generation students______.A. are actually indifferent to the achievement gapB. can have a potential influence on other studentsC. may lack opportunities to apply for research projectsD. are inexperienced in handling their issues at collegeD(CNN)Thousands of people from Honolulu to Miami marched down streets and interstates (洲际公路)Friday to express their anger about the election of Donald Trump.Protests have broken out across the United States against the election of Donald Trump as president. Thousands of people packed the streets of New York marching towards Trump tower shouting “not my president”.

More demonstrations are expected through the weekend.Much of the group walled onto Interstate 395 and surrounded cars.Four streets of traffic came to a standstill, the video showed. Interstate 80 in Iowa City, Iowa, was shut down briefly by about 75 protesters, Chris Akers with the lowa City Police Department s aid. “The group started downtown and then wove their way onto the interstate, shutting it down for about 15 or 20 minutes,”he said.Angry crowds gathered once again outside the 58-story Trump Tower, the President-elect’s home in Ne w York. “I think he need s to really address all the divisive (造成不和的), hateful things he’s said in the past and withdraw them,”Nick Truesdale said in New York. The groups are angry about policies Trump has promised to enforce(实施)concerning immigration, the environment, LGBT rights and other issues.Trump tweeted twice about the protests. On Thursday night the said, “Just had a very open and successful presidential election. Now professional protesters, incited(唆使)by the media, are protesting.
