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 th eir children are exposed to.
When your kid lies, you start to see him as “sneaky（卑鄙的）”, especially if he continues to
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 t hey’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 re act 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
Like the United States, Canada started as a colony. Beginning in the 1500s it was part of New France but later became a British colony after the Seven Years’ War. As a result, the Canadian government recognized the languages of both colonizers: France and England. The Constitution (宪法)Act of 1867 admitted the use of both languages in federal courts. Years later, Canada strengthened its commitment to bilingualism when it passed the Official Languages Act of 1969, which reconfirmed the constitutional origins of its co official languages.
Recognition of both English and French protects the rights of all Canadians. Among other benefits, the 1969 Act recognized the Canadian citizens should be able to access federal laws and government documents, whether their native language was French or English. The general law also requires that consumer products feature bilingual packaging throughout the country.
The Canadian government is committed to advancing the equality and the use of English and French and provides support to the development of English and French minority communities. However, the reality is that most Canadians speak English, and of course, many Canadians speak another language entirely.
Although the federal government theoretically guarantees bilingual services in all areas, there are many regions where English is the clear majority language so the government does not offer services in French in those regions. Canadians use the phrase "where numbers justify "to indicate whether a local populations language requires bilingual services from the government.
While many Canadians are bilingual in English and French, Statistics. Canada finds that over 10 other languages were reported as a language spoken by its people. About two-thirds of the respondents who spoke one of these languages also spoke either English or French
1、Why are two official languages accepted in Canada?
A．The language-using tradition caused by Canada's colonial history
B．The theoretical commitment made by Canadian courts in the past
D．The mastery of two languages of Canadians because of school education
2、What is the current situation of official languages in Canada?
A．People speaking English are superior because of their access to federal laws
B．Federal governments have to provide bilingual services to all citizens in Canada
C．French minority communities are given more support due to their language-using history D．There are more people speaking English than French in some parts of Canada
3、What can we infer from the passage?
A．The legal court usage of French and English was established in Canada in 1969.
B．Some Canadians in certain districts might speak neither English nor French
C．Either French or English should be used on products in Canada according to the law D．English has gained superior legal position to French because of bigger users in Canada
4、Which is the best title of the passage?
A．The Official Languages in Canada B．Canada, a Multiple-language Land C．Balancing English and French in Canada D．Advancing English and French in Canada

1、Dear Peter,
The Mid-autumn Festival is a traditional festival with a long history in China. It is very popular and is also celebrated in many other Asian countries.
The festival falls on the 15th day of August of the lunar calendar. It is a time to get together with family and friends. People usually gather together enjoying a big meal. In the evening people talk and eat moon cakes under the bright and round moon. Children prefer to listen to fairy tales about Chan g’e or Wugang.
The moon is a symbol of reunion, luck and wealth. It is also a custom to express best wishes to people they love at this particular time.
Yours,
Li Hua
