Dear editor,
     I am writing to ask what has happened to our young people. They are not as polite or hard-working as
my generation (一代人). I will give you two examples.
     Last Friday, I got on the underground at 9:15 a.m. It was very crowded so there was no free seat. There
were some boys sitting on the seats near me. I didn't know why they were not at school. They were talking
and laughing loudly. It was difficult for me to read my newspaper with all the noise. At the next stop, a
pregnant (怀孕的) woman and her daughter got on with lots of shopping bags. I expected the boys to let them
sit down. They saw the woman but they did nothing. I had to ask them to give the woman and her daughter
seats. They did so but gave me a rude look.
     Last Saturday, I had dinner with my friend's family. I was glad to see his children, who I hadn't seen for
ten years. During the dinner, I started talking about world politics with the children. It soon became clear that
they didn't know much about it. They couldn't tell me the name of the King of Spain or President of Italy. All
they knew about was the Internet or which singers were the most beautiful. In my days, students knew the
kings, the queens and the presidents of every country in Europe.
    I worry about the future of Germany. How could these young people become good workers and parents?
They sit around Mcdonald's after school instead of going to the library as I did at their age. Maybe they have
too much money. Perhaps some readers can give us some ideas about what to do with this "lost generation".
                                                                                                                                  Yours sincerely,
                                                                                                                                   Frantz Vogts

1. Mr Vogts writes this letter to the editor to ______.

[ ]

     Madame de Stael says that only the people who can play with children are able to educate them.For
success in training children, the first condition is to become a child oneself.It means to treat the child as
really one's equal, that is, to show him the same consideration, the same kind of confidence one shows to
an adult.It means not to affect the child to be what we ourselves want him to become, but to be affected
by the impression of what the child himself is; not to treat the child with cheating, or by force, but with the
seriousness and true love suitable to his own character.
     Not leaving the child in peace is the greatest problem of present methods of training children.Parents
do not see that during the whole life, the need of peace is never greater than in the years of childhood, an
inner peace under all outside liveliness.
     But what does a child experience?Corrections, orders, interference (干涉), the whole livelong day.
The child is always required to leave something alone, or to do something different, to find something
different, or to want something different from what he does, or finds, or wants.He is always guided in
another direction from the true inner will that is leading him.All of this is caused by our socalled enthusiasm
in directing, advising, and helping the child to become the same model produced in one assembly line (流水线). Understanding, the deepest characteristic of love, is almost always absent.
     To bring up a child means carrying one's soul in one's hand; it means never placing ourselves in
danger of meeting the cold look on the face of the child.It means the truth that the ways of injuring the
child are limitless while the ways of being useful to him are few.How seldom does the educator remember
that the child, even at four or five years of age, has already had a sharp feeling!The smallest mistrust and
unkindness, the least act of injustice, leave wounds that last for life in the heart of the child.While, on the
other hand, unexpected friendliness and kindness make quite as deep an impression on those soft senses.

1. The passage mainly talks about________.

A. misleading zones and right ways in educating children
B. current problems in training children
C. what should be taught to children
D. the importance of educating children

2. Children, according to the passage, are experiencing________.

A. corrections, orders and peace
B. orders, interference and peace
C. interference, orders and corrections
D. peace, guide and praise

3. If you were a parent, which of the following methods is TRUE according to the text?

A. You could treat your children not so seriously for they don't understand many things.
B. You could train your children as you wish them to be.
C. You should sometimes leave your children in peace as they wish in their childhood.
D. You should correct your children immediately if their behavior is not what you want.
