Parents Are Not Always the Best Teachers

    Throughout my life, I have been lucky enough to have a very good relationship with my parents. They have supported me, given me necessary criticism, and taught me a great deal about how to live my life. Parents can be very important teachers in our life; however, they are not always the best teachers.

      Parents may be too close to their children emotionally. Sometimes they can only see their children through the eyes of a protector. For example, they may limit their children’s freedom in the name of safety. A teacher might see a trip to a big city as a valuable new experience. However, it might seem too dangerous to a parent.

      Another problem is that parents may expect their children’s interests to be similar to their own. They cannot seem to separate from their children in their mind. If they love science, they may try to force their children to love science, too. But what if their

children’s true love is art, or writing, or even car repair?

The most important thing to realize is that we all have many teachers in our life. Our parents teach us, our teachers teach us, and our peers teach us. Books and newspapers and television also teach us. All of them are valuable. 


【正确答案】：Parents are usually eager to pass on their values to their children. But should children always believe what their parents do? Maybe different generations need different ways of thinking. When children are young, they believe that their parents are always right. But when they get older, they realize there are other views. Sometimes parents, especially older ones, cannot keep up with rapid social or technological changes. A student who has friends of all different races and backgrounds at school may find that his or her parents do not really understand or value the digital revolution. Sometimes kids have to find their own ways to what they believe in.【评分标准】1．本部分满分20分，按四个档次给分。其中12分为及格分，需要慎重把握。2. 提供的答案仅供参考。如果考生的回答与参考答案意思相近，或思路新颖，且有创见，即使在整体上不够全面，也应酌情给高分，但不得超过该题最高分值。如果考生的回答与参考答案不完全吻合，但上下一致，语气连贯，条理清晰，应按正确答案给分。3.写作的用词量如果不符合要求，应酌情减分。4.回答中的拼写错误可以每四个扣l分，但不重复扣分。5.分值不得出现0.5分。
