　　Parents should stop blaming themselves because there’s not a lot they can do about it. I mean the teenager problem. Whatever you do or however you choose to deal with it, at certain times a wonderful, reasonable and helpful child will turn into a terrible animal.

　　I’ve seen friends deal with it in all kinds of different ways. One strict mother insisted that her son, right from a child, should stand up whenever anyone entered the room, open doors and shake hands like a gentleman. I saw him last week when I called round. Sprawling himself (懒散地躺) on the sofa in full length, he made no attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as I walked in, and his greeting was no more than a quick glance at me. His mother was ashamed. “I don't know what to do with him these days,” she said. “He’s forgotten all the manners we taught him.”

　　He hasn’t forgotten them. He’s just decided that he’s not going to use them. She confessed (坦白) that she would like to come up behind him and throw him down from the sofa onto the floor.

　　Another good friend of mine let her two daughters climb all over the furniture, reach across the table, stare at me and say, “I don’t like your dress; it’s ugly.” One of the daughters has recently been driven out of school. The other has left home.

　　“Where did we go wrong?” her parents are now very sad. Probably nowhere much. At least, no more than the rest of that unfortunate race, parents.

　　56. This text is most probably written by ______.

　　A. a doctor for mental health problems             B. a headmaster of a middle school

　　C. a parent with teenage children                       D. a specialist in teenager studies

　　57. The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to ______.

　　A. the advice that parents want their children to follow

　　B. the change from good to bad that’s seen in a child

　　C. the opinion that a child has of his parents

　　D. the way that parents often blame themselves

　　58. From the second example we can infer that the parents of the two daughters ______.

　　A. pay no attention to them                 B. feel helpless to do much about them

　　C. have come to hate them                 D. are too busy to look after them

　　59. What is the author's opinion about the sudden change in teenage children?

　　A. Parents should work more closely with school teachers.

　　B. Parents should pay still sore attention to the change.

　　C. Parents have no choice but to try to accept it.

　　D. Parents are at fault for the change in their children.

　　B

　　It happened to me recently that I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama’s Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of the current US President. The person I was talking to agreed with me that it was, in his words, “a wonderfully written book.” However, he then proceeded to talk about Mr. Obama in a way that suggested he had no idea of his background at all. I sensed that I was talking to a book liar(说谎者)．

　　And it seems that he is not the only one. Clearly two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven’t. In The World Book Day survey, Dreams From My Father is at number 9. The survey lists top ten books, and various authors, which people have lied about reading. As I’m not one to lie too often, I’ll admit here and now that I haven’t read the entire ten books. But I am pleased to say that I have read the book at number one, George Orwell’s 1984. I think it’s absolutely outstanding．

　　Asked why they lied, the most common reason was to impress someone they were speaking to. This could be difficult if the conversation became more in-depth!
