22、One day, Wilson was walking quietly along the road when someone hit him hard on the back of his neck. He looked behind him, and saw a young man whom he had never seen before.
“How dare you hit me like that?” shouted Wilson.
The young man said he had mistaken Wilson for a friend of his and that he thought Wilson was making a lot of noise about nothing.
This insult(侮辱) made Wilson even angrier, of course, and he at once decided to bring the young man before a judge.
Now, the judge who heard the case was a friend of the young man’s father’s, and, although he pretended to be quite fair, he was thinking about what he could do to protect the young man from being punished while at the same time not to be appearing unfair.
Finally he said to Wilson, “I understand your feelings in this matter very well. Would you be satisfied if I let you hit the young man as he hit you?”
Wilson said he would not be. The young man had insulted him and should be properly punished.
“Well, then,” said the judge to the young man, “I order you to pay ten coins to Wilson.”
Ten coins was very little for such a crime, but the young man did not have it with him, so the judge allowed him to go and get it.
Wilson waited for him to return with the money. He waited an hour, and then two hours, while the judge took care of other business.
When it was nearly time for the court to close, Wilson chose a moment when the judge was especially busy, came up quietly and hit him hard on the back of the neck.

23、A generation of parents raised according to the permissive principles of postwar childcare experts is rediscovering the importance of saying “No” to their children. They are beginning to reclaim the house as their own. Even spanking (打屁股) is back.
While today’s parents do not want to return to the Victorian era (时代)—when children were seen, spanked, but not heard—there is a growing acknowledgement that the laissez-faire approach produced a generation of children running rings around puzzled parents struggling to restore order.
Janthea Brigden, a trainer with Parent Network, says: “The problem is that parents don’t want all that controlling things. What they want is to be able to discipline (管教) their children through teaching and encouraging.”
According to Steve Biddulph, the author of More Secrets of Happy Children, the permissive era was often just an excuse to ignore children. He believes discipline involves firm but friendly teaching and does not need to involve punishment. He teaches a method called “stand and think”, where a child is helped to figure out what is wrong and how to get it right. Mr. Biddulph understands parents using spanking, but he is against it. “The happiest children are those who know Mum and Dad are in charge. As children grow into their teens, more negotiation can take place, such as: Prove you can be home safely by 11pm, and we might let you stay out till midnight.”
“There is no good evidence that an occasional, properly administered spanking is harmful in any way.” says John Rosemond, an American who has won a huge following by calling for “parent power”. It is pure nonsense to believe that restricting children to their room as a punishment could make them have negative feelings about the room and cause sleep problems.
Mr. Rosemond tracks the overturning of traditional family values to the end of the Second World War. He blames the change of the American family into a child-centered, self-respect-oriented (以……为导向) unit on psychologists and social workers, who for 30 years have weakened traditional approaches. Previous generations of American parents raised children not by the book, but by self-evident truth, he says. Children should be seen and not heard. If you make your bed, you’ll have to lie in it. He says that those phrases contain time-honored understanding and principles that helped children to develop what we refer to as the “three Rs” of parenting: respect, responsibility and resourcefulness.
【1】Which is closest to the meaning of the underlined word “laissez-faire” in the second paragraph?
A. Let it be. B. Go for it.
C. Get it right. D. Take it easy.
【2】If his child did something wrong, Steve Biddulph would ______.
A. give him a good beating
B. lock him up in a dark room
C. ask him to stand in a corner for hours
D. help him find out the problem and solution
【3】What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. The causes of discipline problems.
B. The best way to discipline children.
C. Different opinions on ways of parenting.
D. Differences between parents of different times.
24、Can you imagine living without cars, computers or telephones? Some people in the rainforest and mountains of Venezuela and Brazil do just that. One tribe, the Yanomami, has lived the same way for thousands of years. They only have numbers for one, two and more than two, and they have never invented the wheel. But they have also been called some of “the last free people on earth.”
In the late 1920s, researchers found a tribe of people untouched by modern society. This was the first reported meeting with the Yanomami, who were living deep within the South American jungle.
Scientists agree that their location deep in the forest helped their culture unchanged. Until recently, most Yanomami still lived in isolated regions. Everything they needed came from the rain forest. They hunted, fished and farmed the land. Then a discovery brought the outside world to them. And along with it came deadly changes.
Gold was discovered in Yanomami in the 1970s. By 1987, around 80, 000 miners had moved into the area. In a fight to take over the land, they killed some Yanomami. They also brought into new sicknesses, including the common cold and malaria. Today over 62 percent of Yanomami show signs of malaria.
Just as deadly were the results of mining, including polluted streams and cleared forests. Within just seven years their population fell by 20 percent.
Today governments and international organizations are looking for ways to protect the Yanomami. The Brazilian government has reserved a large area of land for the tribe. And in 1990, Brazil ordered all the miners out of Amazon region. Yet these things might not be enough. Gold is so valuable that miners keep going back and harming the Yanomami's way of life.
【1】When was the existence of the Yanomami first discovered?________.
A．In the 1970s
B．In the late 1920s
C．In 1987
D．In 1990
【2】Which of the following statements is true?________
A．The Yanomami is the only remaining "untouched" people on earth.
B．Most Yanomami know the exact meaning of the number 8.
C．The Yanomami learned to use wheels long before.
D．Before miners arrived, the Yanomami had never suffered from malaria.
【3】Which of the following was NOT the reason for the sharp decrease of the Yanomami's population? ________.
A．They starved to death
B．They were killed in the fight
C．Their living environment was destroyed
D．They were killed by the new illnesses brought by miners
【4】What can be inferred from the passage？________.
A．The discovery of gold is beneficial to the Yanomami
B．Gold mining made no difference to the Yanomami
C．Miners are a great threat to the protection of the Yanomami
D．Nowadays no miners remain in Amazon Region
