AOne of the requirements of every graduation ceremony speaker is that they offer some advice. Well, get ready, here it comes.Soon you will be leaving the company of those who think they have all the answers –your professors, instructors and counselors-and going out into what we like to call the real world. In time you will meet up with other people who think they have all the answers. These people are called bosses. My advice is: humor them.A little later you’ll meet additional people who think they have all the answers. These are called spouses (配偶) . My advice is: humor them, too.And of all goes well, in a few years you will meet still another group of people who think they have all the answers. These are called children. Humor them.Life will go on, your children will grow up, go to school and someday they could be taking part in a graduation ceremony just like this one. And who knows, the speakers responsible for handing out good advice might be you. Halfway through your speech, the graduate sitting next to your daughter will lean over and ask, ―Who is that woman up there who thinks she has all the answers?‖Well, thanks to the reasonable advice you are hearing today and that I hope you will all pass on, she will be able to say, ―That is my mother.

To Hell with them!BGrandparents might be known for spoiling grandchildren, but a new study says they might also be helping the kids improve their social skills and behavior.Spending time with grandma and grandpa especially appears to help children from single-parent, divorced/separated or stepfamily households, according to the report, published in the February Journal of Family Psychology."Grandparents are a positive force for all families but play a significant role in families undergoing difficulties," the study's lead author, Shalhevet Attar-Schwartz, of The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, said in an American Psychological Association news release. "They can reduce the negative influence of parents separating and be a resource for children who are going through these family changes."In interviewing 11- to 16-year olds from England and Wales, Attar-Schwartz and her team found that the more conversations the youths had with a grandparent, including asking for advice or even money, the better they got along with their peers and the fewer problems they had, such as hyperactivity and disruptive behavior."This was found across all three family structures," she said. "But adolescents in single-parent households and stepfamilies benefited the most. The effect of their grandparents' involvement was stronger compared to children from two biological parent families."The study did not look at children who lived solely with their grandparents, though.The findings have great implications for people in the United States, the authors said, because American grandparents are increasingly sharing living space with their grandchildren. A 2004 U.S. Census Bureau survey found that more than 5 million households include a grandparent and a grandchild under 18, up 30 percent since 1990, according to background information in the news release.31.It is generally believed that a grandmother __________ .A. can help a child through hard timesB. can help kids develop social skillsC. can spoil a childD. is a positive force for all families32.

American grandparents are much better at bringing up their grandchildrenD. American kids like to share more living space with their grandparents35. The passage implies that __________ .A. children who live solely with their grandparents may benefit the mostB. grandparents are a source of comfort to children from families undergoingdifficultiesC. grandparents play a more positive role than parents in children’s growthD. all families should leave their children to be brought up by grandparentsCOne evening I went out and left my 17-year-old son in charge of his 8-year-old brother and 4-year-old sister. On this occasion, the work was made less troublesome by the presence of his girl friend. I left with complete confidence that the older children would do a wonderful job of babysitting the younger children. Later, I discovered that complete confidence was the last thing I should have left home with.I had decided to return home earlier than planned so that my son and his girlfriend could go out. I called home with this happy news. But instead of hearing his cheerful, grateful voice on the other end of the line, all I heard was the sound of a telephone ringing.It was, I should point out, after 10 p.m., when the two younger children should have been in bed. and when the two older children should have been answering the phone. ―I’ll give him a lesson,‖ I said. I decided they must be outside. Why they might be outside at 10∶30 on a winter night I had no idea, but it was the only explanation I could come up with.Finally, in desperation, I called his girlfriend’s house. After what seemed like countless rings, his girlfriend answered. ―Y es,‖ she said brightly, ―He’s right here.‖He came on the phone. I was not my usual calm, rational(理智的)self. After all, one of the rules of survival for modern parents is that you can’t trust modern teenagers. ―Where are the children?‖ I said. He said they were with him. They had done nothing wrong. My son had taken the younger children over to his girlfriend’s house just for ice cream and cake. This was too good to be believed. Well, it turns out that I shouldn’t have believed it. It was only part of the truth.The following Saturday evening we were at my parents home, celebrating my birthday. My oldest son gave me the children’s gifts. Mounted and framed were a series of lovely color photographs of my children, dressed in their best clothes, and wearing their most wonderful expressions. They are pi ctures to treasure a lifetime, all taken by the father of my son’s girlfriend.36.

Then he said, ―I want you to give an order to the trust department to sell every share of Supranational we’re holding.‖―I won’t!‖ Patterton’s voice rose. ―Who do you think you are, giving orders-----― ―I’ll tell you who I am, Jerome. I’m the guy who warned the board against in-depth involvement with SuNatCo.I fought against heavy trust department buying of the stock, but no one-----including you -----would listen. Now Supranational is caving in.‖ Alex leaned across the d esk and slammed a fist down hard. ―Don’t you understand? Supranational can bring this bank down with it.‖Patterton was shaken. ―But is SuNatCo in real trouble? Are you sure?‖―If I weren’t, do you think I’d be here? I’m giving you a chance to salvage so mething at least.‖ He pointed to his wristwatch. ―It’s an hour since the New Y ork stock market opened. Jerome, get on the phone and give that order!‖Muscles around the bank president’s mouth twitched nervously. Never decisive, strong influence often swayed him. He hesitated, then picked up the telephone.―Get me Mitchell in the trust department… Mitch? This is Jerome. Listen carefully. I want you to give a sell order immediately on all the Supranational stock we hold… Y es, sell every share.‖ Patterton listened, then said impatiently, ―Y es, I know what it’ll do to the market. And I know it’s irregular.‖ His eyes sought Alex’s for reassurance. The hand holding the telephone trembled as he said, ―There’s no time to hold meetings. So do it! Y es, I accept responsibility.‖He hung up and reached for a glass of water. ―The stock is already down. Our selling will depress it more. We’ll be taking a big beating.‖―It’s our clients-----people who trusted us-----who will take the beating. And they’d have taken a bi gger one still, if we’d waited. Even now we’re not out of the woods. A week from now the SEC may disallow those sales. They may rule we had inside knowledge that Supranational was about to be bankrupt, which we should have reported and which would have halted trading in the stock.41.
