For most, that meant starting a family. Between 1946 and 1960, 63 million babies were born in the United States, up 22 million from the fifteen-year period before that. this big jump in the birth rate came to be known as the baby boom (婴儿潮). Before the war, American children were raised very strictly. They were often told to be "seen and not heard." After the war, however, young parents raised their children according to different ideas. Dr. Benjamin Spock's Common Sense Book of Baby and Child Care, published in 1946, emphasized flexibility (灵活性) in raising children. Spock encouraged parents to listen to their children and respond to their wishes. New parents quickly made Dr. Spock's book the best-selling book in US history. By 1952, sales had reached 4 million copies per year for the next eighteen years. Critics (批评家) who believed that the old ways of raising children were best accused Spock of being too permissive. They thought his ideas would spoil children. But Spock opposed strict discipline because he thought there were was "no such thing as a bad boy." By this he meant that, although a child's behavior may be bad, the child is not. Millions of baby-boom parents were influenced by Spock's advice, which brought a revolution in the way children were raised.1. The article mainly discusses ________________.A) how children were raised before World War II B) the benefits of strict discipline on children C) the impact of baby boomers on the economy D)the change of the way the baby boomers were raised2. What can be implied about the baby boom from the first paragraph?A)Baby boom happened during World War II B)Most of the baby boomers were from the soldier's families.

According to the article, Dr. Spock believed that _____________.A) many children born during the war time were born bad B) parents should be strict with their children C) there are bad child behaviors but no bad children D) spoiling the children is a good way to educate children4. The word "permissive" in Paragraph 3 probably means ________________.A) allowing great freedom B) being limited C) involving long time D) enjoying happiness5. The word "they" in the second sentence of Paragraph 3 refers to ______________.A) critics of Spock B) parents of baby boomers C) supporters of Spock D) baby-boomer children正确答案:1-D, 2-B, 3-C, 4-A, 5-A。
