問題詳情

IV. Reading Comprehension: Choose the best answer to each question.When my son was very small, he would not sleep. Many times in order to console him, I would put him inbed with my husband and me. But this usually meant I didn’t sleep because he would kick and thrash.I remember one night in particular I put him in bed with me and when he started to move around andwhimper, I got very angry and gave him a slap on his diapered bottom.I will never forget the look on his face when he turned to me with all the hurt an 18-month-old couldmuster and said, “Mommy, don’t hit me.” The way he said those words had such an effect on me that Ipromised myself that I would never, ever hit him again. But I didn’t know what to do instead.With the California State Legislature considering a ruling against spanking, I was prompted to take acloser look at the issue of corporal punishment.  One survey conducted by Public Agenda, a non-partisan think tank, found many parents are seekingalternative methods to spanking to get their children to behave. Only 34 percent surveyed said they have beensuccessful at teaching their children self-control.Maybe this is because they don’t know how to model it. “Violent behavior is learned,” says Emily Friedan,Chief of the Division of Community Pediatricians of Western New York. “It can be prevented from the verybeginning, and prevention must start with the adults who fill children’s lives.”On spanking, Friedan’s advice is straightforward:“Don’t discipline with physical punishment. Doing so teaches children that the people who love them arethe ones most likely to hurt them, that physical force is justified, and that violence is an acceptable way ofsolving problems.”The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that parents develop methods other than spanking inresponse to undesired behavior, adding:˙Spanking is harmful emotionally to both parent and child.˙While stopping the behavior temporarily, it does not teach alternative behavior.˙It interferes with the development of trust, a sense of security, effective communication and thedevelopment of internal controls or self-discipline.˙It may cause resentment and harm the parent/child relationship.
