Parents and the Young
It is natural that young people are often uncomfortable being with their parents. They say that their parents don't understand them. And they tend to feel that their parents are too serious and too strict with their children, seldom giving their children a free hand.
Parents often find it difficult to win their children's trust. And they always forget how they themselves felt when young. It is one of their ways to show that they have grown up. But older people worry more easily; most of them plan things ahead.
Young people often make their parents angry with their choice in clothes, in entertainment and in music. It is just that they feel cut off from the older people's world, into which they have not yet been accepted. That's why young people want to make a new culture of their own, which makes their parents worried and upset.
Sometimes you are so proud of yourself that you do not want your parents say “yes” to what you do. It is natural enough, after being a child for so many years, when you were completely under your parents' control.
When your parents see that you have a high sense of responsibility, they will certainly give you the right to do what you want to do.
A. So how should you understand that?
B. But they do not mean to cause any trouble.
C. All you want is to be left alone and do what you like.
D. If you plan to handle your life, try to win your parents over.
E. They think that their parents don't keep pace with modern ways.
F. You will have better success if you ask before you really start doing it.
G. For example, young people like to act on the spot without much thinking.
Reducing the amount of sleep affects students' performance at school. An American study asked schoolteachers to look at the effects of sleep restriction（限制） on children between six and twelve years of age. The teachers found that children who stayed up late had trouble thinking clearly and had more learning problems.
{#blank#}1{#/blank#} Doctor Fallone now works at the Forest Institute of Professional Psychology in Springfield, Missouri. He presented the results last month at a science reporter conference in Washington, D. C. The Publication Sleep also reported the findings.
The teachers were asked to complete weekly performance reports on seventy-four schoolchildren. The study lasted three weeks. During that period, Doctor Fallone and his team controlled the amount of sleep the children received.
{#blank#}2{#/blank#} During another week, every child was kept awake later than normal. Each night, the youngest boys and girls had less than eight hours of sleep. The older ones were limited to six and a half hours. During the final week of the study, each child received no less than ten hours of sleep a night.
The teachers were not told about how much sleep the students received. The study found that students who received eight hours or less had the most difficulty remembering old information. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}
The study did not find that sleep restriction caused hyperactivity(极度活跃) in the children. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}
Doctor Fall one said that the results provided experts and parents with a clear message: {#blank#}5{#/blank#}
A. The sleeping time that the students have can be changed easily. B. They also had trouble learning new information, completing difficult work and following directions. C. During one week, the children went to bed and awoke at their usual time. D. The teacher should restrict the amount of sleep of the students. E. Gahan Fallone did the study at the Brown Medical School and Bradley Hospital in the state of Rhode Island. F. The teachers reported that students were, in fact, a little less active at school when they got less sleep. G. When a child has learning problems, the issue of sleep must be considered among the possible causes. |
