Teaching Children about Forgiveness
If you’ve seen your children struggle to forgive someone for hurting them, you know that forgiveness is
complicated. After all, forgiveness is complicated for adults, too. At times, we wonder why we’re trying to forgive
someone anyway; later, we might think we’ve forgiven them, only to experience a sudden burst of anger. Indeed,
it takes many years for us to grasp the meaning of forgiveness as we grow up.
It’s understandable that children may feel hurt or angry when a friend does something less-than-kind to them.
Maybe the friend said something unkind or broke something precious, embarrassed them, excluded them, or told
their secrets. Children may be tempted to get even with a friend who’s done them wrong, by doing something
worse or telling everyone how terrible the friend is, but trying to get revenge only escalates (升级) the conflict.
Parents can play an important role in teaching children about forgiveness. Children watch how important
adults in their lives respond when someone does something unkind. Do they complain to others or speak directly
to the person involved? How long does it take them to get over being mad or hurt? How do they get over it?
Parents can teach their children about the value of forgiveness by regularly practicing it in their own lives.
Sometimes parents can talk with their children about forgiveness, based on where kids are in their cognitive
(认知的) and emotional development. For example, children need to understand that no one is perfect, so
generously forgiving a well-meaning friend is a caring thing to do. If parents can help children see things a little
more from other people’s perspective, this will make forgiveness easier. These conversations can change the way
children think about forgiveness and help them emotionally recover when they inevitably experience harm and
2
unfair treatment from others in life.

【 答 案 】 Forgiveness is complicated and children’s understanding of forgiving develops as they grow older.
Children may feel angry and want to revenge when they feel hurt or wronged. Parents need to be good role
models themselves and have age-appropriate discussions with children to help them see things from other people’s
perspective and better understand forgiveness.

IV. Summary Writing
71.Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no
more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Should some books be banned from school libraries?
Are there Harry Potter books in your school library? Many kids all over the world are reading J. K. Rowling's
books in school. But some parents think their children shouldn't be able to find those and other books in school
libraries. Should school libraries keep books that some parents don't approve of? Should they take those books off
the shelves? All over the country, schools are wrestling with those questions.
It’s true that some hold their argument that some books should be banned from school libraries! "We need
certain limits," said one student in Denver, Colorado. He said some books have no place in school libraries. Many
people believe that books that contain violence or bad words shouldn't be in schools. Some people want the Harry
Potter books removed because they contain talk about wizards and magic.

Most parents know what's good for kids. They have a right to decide which books should or should not be in
school libraries.
Books should meet certain standards before they are put in schools. Is this a good book for kids to read? Is it
full of violence? Does it contain bad words or ideas kids shouldn't learn about? If a book is not good for all kids, it
should not be in a school library. Most parents don't have time to find out everything their kids read. They should
be able to trust schools to do that for them.
On the other hand, some believe that books should not be banned from school libraries! "Parents should
decide what their own kids read," said Natalie Nicol, of Denver, Colorado. But other parents shouldn't make that
choice for them. Many experts say that it's the parents' job, not the school's job, to check out what their kids are
reading. If they don't like a book, they should not let their kids read it.
Why should a few parents stop kids from reading stories like the Harry Potter series? Kids should be able to
check out books their parents think are OK to read. Many schools let kids borrow certain books if they have a
signed paper from a parent. That works fine. A parent doesn't sign the paper if he or she doesn't want the child to
read the book. Other kids can read the books if they have permission.
Some books are not OK for all kids to read. But if more adults were careful about what their own kids read,
they wouldn't have to ban books from the library.

【答案】Schools are troubled by the problem whether certain books should be banned from their libraries. Some
argue that those books with violence or bad words in should be banned and certain standards in judging books is
essential. Others believe that it is parents’ responsibility, instead of schools’, to decide whether their kids are
permitted to read certain books or not.

IV.Summary Writing
71.Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no
more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
A Workaholic Economy
Although the output per hour of work has more than doubled since 1945, leisure seems reserved largely for
the unemployed and underemployed. Those who work full-time spend as much time on the job as they did at the
end of World War Ⅱ. In fact, working hours have increased noticeably since 1970. Bookstores now abound with
manuals describing how to manage time and cope with stress.
There are mainly two reasons for lost leisure.
Since 1970, companies have responded to improvements in the business climate by having employees work
overtime rather than by hiring extra personnel. Some firms are even downsizing as their profits climb. A host of
factors pushes employers to hire fewer workers for more hours and, at the same time, compels workers to spend
more time on the job. Most of those incentives(诱因) involve the structure of compensation(报酬). The way
salaries and benefits are organized makes it more profitable to ask 40 employees to labor an extra hour each than
to hire one more worker to do the same 40-hour job. Once people are on salary, their cost to a firm is the same
whether they spend 35 hours a week in the office or 70. Therefore, it is more profitable for employers to work
6
their existing employees harder.
For all that employees complain about long hours, they, too, have reasons not to trade money for leisure.
“People who work reduced hours pay a huge penalty in career terms,” Bailyn of Massachusetts Institute of
Technology maintains. “It’s taken as a negative signal about their commitment to the firm.” He adds that many
corporate managers find it difficult to measure the contribution of their employees to a firm’s well-being, so they
estimate staff productivity in terms of hours worked. Employees know this, and they adjust their behavior
accordingly.

_______________________________________________________________
【答案】People actually work more hours than before despite the increased productivity. On one hand, it’s because
the payment distribution system makes it economical for companies to have employees work overtime than hiring
more people. On the other hand, employees tend to work long hours because their working time is linked to their
contribution to the firm.

Moustache(胡子) for Cash
“Movember”, as the annual event is known, sees men in countries including the UK, US and Australia grow
out their facial hair while collecting sponsorship money from friends, family and colleagues, with the money
going to cancer charities.
The month of no shaving began unofficially in 2003, when a pair of men from Australia persuaded their
family to join them in growing a moustache in order to encourage men to get themselves checked for cancer,
which is seen as distasteful by some males. A year later, the group decided to set up the Movember Foundation,
asking friends and colleagues to offer donations of money to support their efforts, and raised a massive A$54,000
which was shared between a number of health projects. With thanks most likely to social media, Movember soon
went global and the foundation now operates worldwide, having raised over £ 440 million since 2004. The
effects of the fundraising are wide-reaching, which had made a significant discovery in the treatment of cancer.
The issue of some men being too self-willed to visit their doctor for a checkup, or perhaps being raised in a
culture of “tough it out”, has led some males to neglect their health, which may mean it could be too late if
something potentially deadly did develop. However, Movember is helping to break down the shame of male
health by making it more accessible, meaning that men are more likely to visit their doctors. They found a way to
appeal to men in a way that other campaigns just don’t – with a sort of blokey① jokiness.
① blokey: behaving in a way that is supposed to be typical of men , especially men enjoying themselves in a
group.

Being a small business brings advantages the big ones can only dream of. Michael Heppell, author of the
latest edition of “5 Star Service”, a book on customer service, has interesting take on this development. “I’m often
amazed that smaller businesses think that the secret of success is to be more like the big ones, when in fact the
opposite is true,” he said.
He pointed to the very different stories of two fishmongers ( 鱼 贩 ) in his home town. Having served
customers - including Heppell - for many years, the two were joined by a Tesco Extra, Waitrose and Marks
& Spencer.
The first fishmonger began to complain about these newly-arrived chains to the local press, and even his
customers. He pointed out that he couldn’t compete with them on price and finally closed down.
“Fishmonger two was different,” explained Heppell. “She worked hard to create a local brand and local
loyalty. She would love to tell you about the fish, when and where it was caught and offer some little extras if you
spent a few pounds more. She must have felt the effects of the three new arrivals in town but she didn’t complain
once. She survived, and of course, since her competitor closed she’s never been busier.”
Small businesses that want to grow should stop trying to imitate the big names, advised Heppell. “Find out
what they don’t do that you can, and what you do that they can’t. The secret is by providing brilliant levels of
service,” he went on to say.
They should also start thinking about speed, believes Heppell, and realize that this can differentiate them
from larger competitors. “Smaller businesses can often change faster, adapt more easily and manage trends more
quickly than the big boys. However, looking at many smaller businesses the opposite appears to be true. What can
you do to get a first mover advantage?”
Too often smaller business leaders feel that they have to offer whatever the larger players are offering. They
believe that having a narrower range is a disadvantage, but they need to realize that it actually offers them a
competitive edge. The mindset of many smaller business owners must change. They need to focus on how to
improve their own businesses and what their customers really want. “Because we’re small we can offer x, y and z.
It’s because we’re local that we excel at a, b and c,” should be the message, said Heppell.
(Note: Answer the questions and complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS.)
